Won’t you tell me now pretty thing What’s the big hurry? She gonna head home Get her bags packed She gonna fill up the trunk Of that old Cadillac Like a blur to the onramp I-10 East to Alabam She close her eyes Over all the noise She could hear the sound Of that woman’s voice When she picked up the telephone Said, “Girl, you’re man ain’t home Could I give him a message If he come round?” Well I’m afraid not darlin You’ll be sleeping in the ground She leaving town Gone to shoot him down She roll into Mobile As the sun set up on the hill She got a blade sharp And a gun cocked She got a hot hand On the cold lock Knock, knock at the back door A voice cries out, “Who’s there?” Then an eye pressed To the peephole She hold the steel straight And give a quick pull CHORUS CHORUS

Young Man 03:30
When I was a young man My mother told me, “You find yourself a nice girl Or you end up lonely” I always thought She was telling lies Until I seen Those electric eyes Now I’m changing up my story When I was a young man My father said, “Alright, son You find yourself a nice girl Gonna love you every night, son” That old line Was wearing thin Until I seen That champagne skin Now I know that he’s the right one When I was a young man My mother told me, “You find yourself a nice girl Or you end up lonely” I always thought She was telling lies Until I seen Those electric eyes Now I’m changing up my story

You been mine Such a long time I know I said some things That was on my mind And I done you wrong But let me do you right So I’m down on my knees When I sing tonight Baby, yeah Won’t give me one more chance You know I could prove to you I could be your man All them tears you cried Now they were in the past Time tries to let em fade You seem to make em last Darlin, dry your eyes And put your hands in mine You know that I’d give a year For just one more day by your side CHORUS You been hurt so bad, baby You ain’t gon let that happen to ya no more But you wouldn’t believe the look you see Up on my face, sweet darlin If you was to walk back through my door If I had one more chance baby One more just to make it right I’d stand by you every day Lay by you every night But you gone now girl Yeah, I think you gone for good But come back by anytime You know that I wish you would CHORUS

100 Nights 04:36
Oh, my head is low She steady backing out the bedroom door My eyes move instead Cross the back of my head As photos crash into the floor Maybe she need some time to cool down But wonder if she coming home I done it again, opened my mouth when I probably should have kept it closed Now baby, let me help you Tell me what did I do Or what to tell you When you run and hide You wearing all your feelings I know you don’t mean it When you kick and scream And tell me that you leaving But I’ll wait 100 nights for you Oh, I’m at the door She steady backing out the driveway My mouth open wide, “Baby don’t leave!” I cry Hopin that it ain’t too late Maybe she see soon what we got here But wonder if she had enough I done it again, causing her pain when I only meant to show her love CHORUS Oh, I’m all alone Feel like I waited 99 nights A sound at the front door I hold my breath and hope She waiting on the other side Maybe I’m dreaming that she come home But wonder if it can’t be true I turn the knob and an empty doormat Well, give it just another night or two CHORUS
5.
Old Stone 03:31
Listen up child I’ma tell you about old stone He leave a trail of tears With all the women he known You think he’d settle down He gonna be with you But if you see Old Stone He gonna be leaving soon Old Stone gonna roll Old Stone gonna roll Old Stone gonna roll while he can Gone by the weekend Living like a free man Old Stone gonna roll Listen up boy I’ma tell you about this man He done rattled through town About six years past Took a liking to Your momma, son And then he rattled on Just as soon as he was done CHORUS CHORUS

Break A Dawn 03:41
Could you tell me something, mister You seen this young woman or the man with her? Now they was last seen rollin two deep With their taillights burnin your street Wanting nothing else, Nothing else, nothing else But they own company And maybe just a few bills, Oh, a few bills So they could buy a little peace Oh, the chances looking alright, alright They ain’t coming back tonight, tonight Gonna try to catch em Come the break a dawn, c’mon Now by that time They’ll be long gone, long gone Could you take a minute, guy? Can I have a quick look around inside? I think they might be holed up in your house But a gunshot could talk them out If you play it right, play it right, play it right You make it out alive But they said their goodbyes Oh, they said their goodbyes When they left last night CHORUS With their eyes wet and dangerous Like they been staring into the sun They got their hands held to the sky Ain’t gonna put em down for anyone We got a chance, they said We got a chance, they said Ain’t gonna give it up For any other man, they said Ain’t gonna give it up For any other man, they said Ain’t gonna give it up For any other man, no we can’t CHORUS

Without You 05:09
Baby, I’m doomed I can’t take it no more When I made my way home Pictures down on the floor I’m breakin apart I’m comin unglued And I ain’t coming home This ain’t no home without you Oh, where did I go wrong? Oh, where did I go wrong? Yeah, how could I go on Without you? Now I told you I was wrong And I can’t stand the sight Boxes stacked by the door Bring tears to my eyes Well, I’m down on my knees Baby, please won’t you stay? Cause I just can’t go on I can’t go on without you girl Not one more day CHORUS Baby, I’m doomed I can’t take it no more When I made my way home Pictures down on the floor CHORUS
10.
Well you know, she sound Just like a train When she open up her mouth Leave a man in pain And you know that she move Just like the wind When she whippin him around And round and round again Boy, you never gonna win You better run You better run Well you know, she act Just like a child Soon as he turn his back She off runnin wild And you know that she gone Days at a time And come back alone With tears in her eyes Boy, you better recognize CHORUS Now, if she come around Don’t you look her down, no I said, if she come around Don’t you look her down, no I said, If she come around Don’t you look her down You get on the ground, boy Get out of town now If she come around Don’t you look her down, no Well you know, she wait She wait for him out back And hit him when he make His way for a cigarette Then you know that she drive With the boy bound up in twine Gone to put him down outside, Outside the county line Boy, you run out of time CHORUS
11.
Tucked in the corner Clutching a seven Two more done up to the nines Cleaning their bones Before eleven Eating their praises And biding her time Oh no, I can’t overlook the fact She wearing black on black Grandmother’s footsteps Across the dance floor She see the whites of his eyes She take her time She sink her teeth in But leave the poor man where he lies Paralyzed CHORUS She wearing black Oh no, she wearing black Tucked in the corner Clutching a seven Two more done up to the nines

Sepia Tones 03:44
In the golden days Of Marion I’m told it was a sight To behold Them carry on Well into the night Oh, that was some, Some time ago Before the skies opened wide And the rainfall Down on the patio Drove them all inside I’ll telling you no I haven’t ever known Just how to get to know a man In sepia tones In the golden days Of Dixieland I’m told it was a sound To behold My old man Marchin through the town Oh, the common thread My daddy said It’s like lookin in the past But too little left To weave a man From them old photographs CHORUS CHORUS
14.
Never Alone 04:20
Movin on down The long, lonesome road The sun at her back Disappears with everyone she knows Tell me pretty girl You ever gonna find a home? She never meant to be alone But her fate is the same old mistake She never meant to be alone But she is anyway Ruined again What you gonna do next time? Stick by his side Stead of moving on down the line? CHORUS Broken on down Dirty hands dry your eyes Push it on East Til the suns breaks into the sky CHORUS
