Mama Kin
(Tyler)

It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how I feel
I've been dreamin', floatin' down the stream and
Losin' touch with all that's real
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been
You've been fadin', always out paradin'
Keep in touch with mama kin

Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon
You act like a perpetual drag
You better check it out
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind (yes it is)
The way I see it you got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with them beans *
You better check it out
Cause someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Dream On
(Tyler)

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
And dream until your dream comes true

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on...

Same Old Song And Dance
(Tyler/Perry)

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder, with nothing to show
With the judge, constipation will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead

It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
No smoothy face laywer to getcha undone
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story
Same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
Your old time connection, change your direction
Ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

When you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
Say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around


 

Seasons Of Wither
(Tyler)

Blues hearted lady, sleepy was she
Love for the devil brought her to me
Seasons of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither holdin' me in

Oooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
Oooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail

Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon

They awaken, far far away
Heat of my candle show me the way
Seasons of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither holdin' me in

Oooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
Oooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail
 

Walk This Way
(Tyler/Perry)

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Till I talked to your daddy, he say
He said "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
Oh, the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' "hey diddle diddle"
With your kitty in the middle of the swing
Like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this!

Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' "hey diddle diddle"
With your kitty in the middle of the swing
Like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this!
 

Big Ten Inch Record
(Weismantel)

Got me the strangest woman
Believe me this trick's no cinch
But I really get her going
When I whip out my big 10 inch

Record of a band that plays the blues
Well a band that plays its blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
She said now stop that jivin'
Now whip out your big 10 inch

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just loves my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

I, I, I cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clinch
She gets all excited
When she begs for my big 10 inch

Record of a band that plays those blues
Well a band that plays the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues

My girl don't go for smokin'
And liquor just make her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'Cept for my big 10 inch

Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that play the blues
She just love my big 10 inch
Record of her favorite blues
 

Sweet Emotion
(Tyler/Hamilton)

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

Talk about things and nobody cares
Wearing other things that nobody wears
Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear
Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year

Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up & went
You got good news but you're a real good liar
Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

Pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far.
Tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied
Can't catch me cause the rabbit done died.
Standin' in front just shakin' your ass.
Take you back stage you can drink from my glass.
Talk about something you can sure understand
Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand

 

Last Child
(Tyler/Whitford)

I'm dreamin' tonight
I'm dreamin' back home
Right!

Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, No sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poon-tang sweatheart
Sweathog ready to make a silk purse
From a J Paul Getty and his ear
With a face in a beer
Home Sweet Home

Get out in the field,
Put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's A cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the City and My love's in the meadow
Hand's on the plow and my feets in the ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothin'
Ain't no good when boss man's stuffin'
Down their throats with paper notes
As babies cry
When you're rockin' the street
Home Sweet Home

Mamma take me home sweet home
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street

 

Back In The Saddle
(Tyler/Perry)

I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink, that's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink, that'd make a grown man cry

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!

Come easy, go easy, all right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight, I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps, I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks, I scream for more
Fools' gold out of their mines, the girls are soaking wet
No tongue's drier than mine, I'll come when I get back!

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again

I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol
I'm ridin', I really got a fistful
I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle
I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!

Ridin' high!
Ridin' high!
Ridin' high! already!

 

Draw The Line
(Tyler/Perry)

Checkmate honey, beat ya at your own damn game
No dice honey, I'm livin' on the astral plane
Feet's on the ground, and your head's goin' down the drain
Oh, heads I win, tails you lose, to the never mind
Where to draw the line

An Indian summer, Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet net winner, and rarely ever left the store
She'd sing and dance all night, and wrong all the right out of me
Oh, pass me the vile and cross your fingers, it don't take time
Nowhere to draw the line

Hi ho silver, we were singin' all your cowboy songs
Oh, you told Carrie, and promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads I win, tails you lose, lord it's such a crime
No dice honey, you're the salt, you're the queen of the brine
Checkmate honey, you're the only one who's got to choose
Where to draw the line

Checkmate, don't be late
Take another pull
That's right
Impossible
When you got to be yourself
You're the boss, the toss
The price, the dice
Grab yourself a slice
Nowhere to draw the line
 

Dude (Looks Like A Lady) 
(Tyler/Perry/Child) 

Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 

Cruised into a bar on the shore 
Her picture graced the grime on the door 
She a long lost love at first bite 
Baby maybe you're wrong but you know it's all right 
That's right 

Backstage we're having the time 
Of our lives until somebody say 
Forgive me if I seem out of line 
Then she whipped out her gun 
And tried to blow me away 

Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 

So never judge a book by it's cover 
Or who you gonna love by your lover 
Love put me wise to her love in disguise 
She had the body of a venus 
Lord imagine my surprise 

Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady 

Baby let me follow you down 
Let me take a peek dear

Do me, do me, do me, sue me

She like it like it like it like that 
He was a lady 

Dude looks like a lady 
Dude looks like a lady

Dude looks like a lady 
Dude dude, dude looks like a lady 

 

Angel 
(Tyler/Child) 

I'm alone yeah I don't know if I can face the night 
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do is for you 
I want your love let's break the wall between us 
Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride 
Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light 

You're my angel come and save me tonight 
You're my angel come and make it alright 
You're my angel come and save me tonight 

Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feeling inside 
Yes, it's true loneliness took me for a ride 
Without your love, I'm nothing but a beggar 
Without your love, a dog without a bone 
What can I do, I'm sleepin' in this bed alone 

You're my angel come and save me tonight 
You're my angel come and make it alright 
You're my angel come and save me tonight 

You're the reason I live 
You're the reason I die 
You're the reason I give when I break down and cry 
Don't need no reason why 
Baby, baby, baby 

 

Rag Doll 
(Tyler/Perry/Vallance/Knight) 

Rag doll, living in a movie 
Hot tramp, Daddy's little cutie 
So fine, they'll never see ya 
Leavin' by the back door, man 

Hot time, get it while it's easy 
Don't mind, come on up and see me 
Rag doll, baby won't you do me 
Like you done before 

I'm feelin' like a bad boy 
MMM just like a bad boy 
I'm rippin' up a rag doll 
Like throwin' away an old toy 
Some babe's talkin' real loud 
Talking all about the new crowd 
Try and sell me on a old dream 
A new version of the old scene 
Speak easy on the grape vine 
Keep shufflin' in the shoe shine 
Old tin lizzy do it till you're dizzy 
Give it all ya got until you're put out of your misery 

Yes, I'm movin', Yes, I'm movin' 
Get ready for the big time 
Tap dancing on a land mine 
Yes, I'm movin', I'm really movin' 
Old tin lizzy

Get ready for the big time 
Get crazy on the moonshine

Sloe gin fizzy 
Do it till you're dizzy 
Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery

There's another diamond ring
And, uh, all those late night promises
I guess they don't mean a thing
So baby, what's the story?
Did you find another man?
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away
I used feel your fire
But now it's cold inside
And you're back on the street
Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinkin' you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of
the dice?
Tell me what it takes to let you go

Yeah

Girl, before I met you I was F-I-N-E fine
But your love made me a prisoner
Yeah, my heart's been doin' time
You spent me up like money
And then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain's supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was good in your life to the toss of
the dice?
