And his fortune he had made let him live high on the hog Til the day of the raid When they hunted him like a dog He was out on the run Knowing he could get by Cause the men killed in sin were not there to testify Hey! hey! He was caught, he was bound In la casa de Calaboose He was tried, he was found And readied for the noose But the break he would make It didn't turn out so well And the hombre called Diablo Bid his last farewell |

She used to drive a beat up pickup Down around San Antone Stealin' the heart of every guy in town Includin' the one I own But this sweet young thing of seventeen Would sting you with the lovesick blues Just a blonde haired blue eyed picture of sin Lookin' for someone to use She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker She can break a heart and take all the love she needs Well I heard she got down in Beaumont And she wound up in El Paso She was tuff as a boot and thin as a rail And she could step to the cotton eyed Joe If you run across this flagrant fuzzy Slip in and get her while you can Cause before too long she'll be good as gone And runnin' with another man She's a lover 'n fighter, she's a wild bull rider And I'm wonderin' why she left me such a long time ago She's a heartbreaker, she's a love taker She can break a heart and take all the love she needs |

Rain fell this mornin', make me feel so bad
on account of my baby walked off with another man. Like takin' eyesight from the blind man and money from the poor that woman took my lovin' and walked on out that door. And it sure got cold after the rain fell, not from the sky, from my eye. Somebody, can you tell me just what make a man feel this way? Like river without its water, like night without a day. And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell, not from the sky but from my eye. If you're home early in the mornin' you hear that rain to fall, with thunderbolts and lightning the wind begins to call. Your worry's superficial 'cause you slept on through the night but stormy weather keep you wond'rin' if ev'rything's all right. And it sure 'nuff got cold after the rain fell, not from the sky but from my eye, not from the sky, from my eye. - Billy Gibbons |

She likes wearin' lipstick, she likes French cuisine
but she won't let me use my passion unless it's in a limousine. She got me under pressure, she got me under pressure. She likes the art museum, she don't like Pavlov's dog. She fun at the mind museum, she likes it in a London fog. She don't like other women, she likes whips and chains. She likes cocaine and flippin' out with great Danes. She's about all I can handle, it's too much for my brain. It's got me under pressure, It's got me under pressure. I'm gonna give her a message, here's what I'm gonna say: |

Hello, Darling. Surprised?
Yes, it's me again. I've just returned from the island of Shangri-Lir. What am I doing in town? Well, I'm glad you asked. I'm just passing through in search of the ever-elusive Thunderbird. I have a job as a public relations man; Passing out handbills on Austin Street. Merely an effort to improve my financial situation... And ward off a case of the D.T.s. So, farewell, my Darling. Perhaps we'll meet again on some sin-infested street corner in Houston, Texas. |

She had a look in her eye that could make you melt,
Made me feel better than I ever felt. But bless her heart, she couldn't stay, I begged her not to go away. She left my ex best friend out in old Tucson, Told me she was leavin and would be rollin on. Now the days just pass on by, Losin' her is the reason why. Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high And everything will be alright. You know I love you girl more than I can say, I still think about you each and every day. My lonesome old hearttill feels the same, So Leila won't you steal away. Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high And everything will be alright. Leila, Leila your mind will be flying high And everything will be alright. |

I found an empty house in my neighborhood,
I knew that wer shouldn't but I thought we could. Knew it wouldn't be hard to slide into the backyard, Called all my friends and slipped a hundred to the guard. We turned on the radio and had a party on the patio. Betty's in the sauna and she's getting kind of hot, Mary's in the icebox wishin' she was not. Connie's in the whirlpool, Jimmy's tryin' to be cool, Libby's in the bushes 'cause she's nobody's fool. We turned the lights down low and had a party on the patio. Heard the cops are coming so we tried to jump the fence, Mary didn't make it and we haven't seen her since. Connie had another drink, Jimmy simply couldn't think, Billy G. was passed out underneath the sink. But everybody's gonna show for another party on the patio. |

She's really upset with me again, I didn't give her what she likes. I don't know what to tell her, Don't know what to say. Everything got funky last night. She Was Really Bombed, And I was really blown away, Until I asked her what she wanted, And this is what she had to say: A pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She gets a charge out of bein' so weird, Digs gettin' downright strange. But I can keep a handle on anything, Just this side of deranged. She was gettin' bombed, And I was gettin' blown away, And she held it in her hand And this is what she had to say: A pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She is so tough, as pure as the driven slush. And that's not true what she's talkin' about, [see notes] It really don't cost that much. She was gettin' bombed, And I was gettin' blown away, And she took it in her hand, And this is what she had to say: A pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. |

Deep in the South of Texas
not so long ago, there on a crowded island in the Gulf of Mexico it didn't take too much money, man, but it sure was nice. You could dance all night if you felt all right, drinking whiskey and throwing dice. And everybody knows it was hard to leave. And everybody knows it was down at the Balinese. Yeah, I remember Ruby, she always dressed in red wearing skintight pants, Lord, and how she could dance with a rag wrapped around her head. And everybody knows it was hard to leave. And everybody knows it was down at the Balinese. And everybody knows it was hard to leave. And everybody knows it was down at the Balinese, it was down at the Balinese, it was down at the Balinese. - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard |

Well, I knocked down on your door, baby,
to see if you were at home. Your shade was down, there wasn't even a sound but something told me you weren't alone. What in the world can a nasty dog do but try to get next to you? Don't laugh 'cause it ain't funny. Look how it happened to me. It could happen to you, you could be a fool too and it'd leave you in misery. I guess there's nothin' more funky king can do but to try to get next to you. Mm, well. - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard |

If you're down in Acuna and you ain't up to being alone
don't spend all your money on just any honey that's grown. Go find the Mexican blackbird and send all your troubles back home. They all call her her "puta" 'cause no one really knows her name. She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade. Her mama was Mez'can and her daddy was the ace of spades. Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy. Said, keep your hands on the wheel there. Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it? Now, ya got it! Hand me another one of them brews from back there. Oh, this is gonna be so good. Mm, she's hot as a pepper but smooth as a Mexican brew. So head for the border and put in an order or two. The wings of the blackbird will spread like an eagle for you. Oh, one more time, can you roll me another Bull Durham, please? Can't you do it with one hand, boy? - Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill & Frank Beard |

Anywhere, y'all, everywhere, y'all, I heard it, I heard it, I heard it on the X. We can all thank Doctor B who stepped across the line. With lots of watts he took control, the first one of its kind. So listen to your radio most each and every night 'cause if you don't I'm sure you won't get to feeling right. Anywhere, y'all, everywhere, y'all, I heard it, I heard it, I heard it on the X. |

When I woke up this mornin'
had a smile run across my face. My baby from town just had to get down, come and drag me all over the place. Gonta drive on a flatbed trailer truck down on highway fifty-nine. I had the blues and my baby, she knew she's holdin' little piece of mind. Down brownie, my brownie downtown, down brownie. Got my share and I'm a black hand cottonfield just to try and keep myself alive. Eatin' red beans and rice with the rat's hole, it's nice or anything you wanna try. Now I'm hitchin' a ride back from Brownie's, I'm kind of sad but I feel alright. The cold night it stings but I got me some wings, I'll be flyin' into Houston tonight. - Billy Gibbons |

I was approachin' Simonton down by the cotton gin. There was old man Berkman trying to flag me in. He asked if I would stay awhile and if I needed gas. I said, "No thanks, anyhow I don't drive too fast." Hallelujah, hallelujah, ride my Chevrolet. Hallelujah, hallelujah, ride my Chevrolet. I took the road down to Cinco through that red Brazos River land, done hit that freeway at sunset. Now the big city lights are at hand. Hallelujah, hallelujah, ride my Chevrolet.

And I need her, she's all that I need. And I love her, she's all that I want. And I need her, she's all that I need. And I love her, she's all that I want. And I need her, she's all that I need. - Billy Gibbons, Kenny Cordray & Steve Perron |

Goin' to a party in the county jail,
Prison band was there and they began to wail. Kid is shakin' and began to sing; You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing. Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock. Spider Murphy sittin' on a block of stone; Little Joey blowin' on a slide trombone. Come on, Silly Willy, don't you be no square. If you cannot find a partner, use a wooden chair. Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock. Shifty Henry said to Bugs, |

I just got paid today,
got me a pocket full of change. Said, I just got paid today, got me a pocket full of change. If you believe like workin' hard all day, just step in my shoes and take my pay. I was born my papa's son, when I hit the ground I was on the run. I had one glad hand and the other behind. You can have yours, just give me mine. When the houd dog barkin' in the black of the night, stick my hand in my pocket, everything's all right. I just got paid today, got me a pocket full of change. Said, black sheep, black, do you got some wool? Yes, I do, man, my bag is full. It's the root of evil and you know the rest but it's way ahead of what's second best. - Billy Gibbons & Bill Ham |

When I woke up this mornin'
had a smile run across my face. My baby from town just had to get down, come and drag me all over the place. Gonta drive on a flatbed trailer truck down on highway fifty-nine. I had the blues and my baby, she knew she's holdin' little piece of mind. Down brownie, my brownie downtown, down brownie. Got my share and I'm a black hand cottonfield just to try and keep myself alive. Eatin' red beans and rice with the rat's hole, it's nice or anything you wanna try. Now I'm hitchin' a ride back from Brownie's, I'm kind of sad but I feel alright. The cold night it stings but I got me some wings, I'll be flyin' into Houston tonight. - Billy Gibbons |

In a flat Forty-One with my strat on the door
we was goin' to the country for what we came for. I'm sure you've smelled the trees in the air. The best of motor cruisin's just the joy to get there. I was approachin' Simonton down by the cotton gin. There was old man Berkman trying to flag me in. He asked if I would stay awhile and if I needed gas. I said, "No thanks, anyhow I don't drive too fast." Hallelujah, hallelujah, ride my Chevrolet. Hallelujah, hallelujah, ride my Chevrolet. I took the road down to Cinco through that red Brazos River land, done hit that freeway at sunset. Now the big city lights are at hand. Hallelujah, hallelujah, ride my Chevrolet. Hallelujah, hallelujah, ride my Chevrolet. - Billy Gibbons |

Whiskey'n mama, you shouldn't have said you wanted me to be your lover true, then turn around and treats me just likes you do. I should have known better than to fool with a whiskey'n mama. Now I could be right and could be wrong, you been layin' out all night long. You telephoned this mornin', said you'd be home soon. The doorman said he seen you at the Club Blue Lagoon. I should have known better than to fool with a whiskey'n mama. Whiskey'n mama, you standin' there with your curly hair just to have you do me good. I know you could if you only would. Whiskey'n mama, you standin' there with your curly hair just to have you do me good. I know you could if you only would. Well, the sun come shinin' on the rain soaked street. Whiskey'n mama, where can she be? I guess I'll have to put you down on my list, I didn't wanna do it but you insist. I should have known better than to fool with a whiskey'n mama. |

I was on my way down to Mexico, there was trouble on the rise. It was nothing more than I'd left behind, which was much to my surprise. I turned around and lit a cigarette wiped the dust off of my boots. When up ahead I saw the crowd, I knew it was no use. I'ts been the same way for Oh so long, it looks like I'm singing the same old song. A fine and fancy man was he, doing good things for the poor. Givin' rides in his rockin' Eighty-eight for free. They could not hope for more. When it came my turn he said to me, "Have I seen your face before?" I said, "Oh no, you must be wrong, I'm from a distant shore. So if you don't mind, I'll just move along but it looks like I'm singin' the same old song." A Nineteen Forty movie star with a long forgotten name. She was a sexy mess in her pleated dress, still hangin' on to fame. With forgotten lines she missed her cue and left a glass of wine at home. She was singin' the same song that I was. Could we both be wrong? So hand in hand we walked along, each of us singin' the same old song |

I woke up this mornin' with these certified blues, they sure been stalkin' me 'round. So down tonight I couldn't tie my shoes. They about to drop me in the ground. If I could shake loose I would feel so fine. There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind. These certified blues are gonna take their time. I've been livin' here, way down South, a place that I wanna stay. Been workin' hard just to feed my mouth. Just can keep them blues away. There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind. These certified blues are gonna take their time. If I could shake loose I would feel so fine. You say you're feelin' bad and you don't know why. You're broke and your woman been ly'n'. And just one thing before I'm fired, the blues have just been certified. If I could shake loose I would feel so fine. There's one thing for sure and it's on my mind. These certified blues are gonna take their time |

A neighbor, neighbor, theres's always one in every crowd. A neighbor, neighbor, tellin' lies and talkin' loud. You better watch your step now. You might fall off your cloud. you might fall off your cloud. Now I was walking down a dusty road when along came a neighbor of mine. He saw me walkin' with my head hung down, he just had to stop and pass the time. Neighbor, neighbor, floatin' in the salty brine. floatin' in the salty brine |

Old man sleepin' the hot day away, while he dreams a thousand yesterdays. 'Cause he's had so many come his way. All he cares about is somewhere to lay his head tomorrow. Old man sits and thinks about his home. Doesn't matter 'cause he's all alone. What he'd give to get back on his own. Curses his body 'cause it's old and it gives no transportation. He sits in his one room shack alone but it provides no consolation. What a shame, his time is nearin'. His eyes won't let him see the skies are clearin'. Someone tells him without his hearin'. It's no news to those who've been around while things are changin |

Woman, grab your children, run and hide. Don't let it catch up with you. You gotta fight it to stay alive, and if it gets you, man, you're through. It smells so rotten and rank. Well, everybody calls it the squank. It's sick, depressin, gettin' bigger all the time. Don't help it any way you can. It's grey and brown and sometimes lime and it's spreadin' all over the land. And soon we'll be all breathin' out of tanks if somethin' ain't done about the squank. The meanest thing the world's ever bred by me and you and my kinfold too. A monster can't live unless it's fed, and it's being fed by me and you. And soon it's gonna leave the world blank, and we'll all be erased by the squank |

Drivin' down the highway at night When you feel that Wild Turkey's bite Don't give Johnny Walker a ride, 'Cause Jack Flash is right by your side You might get taken to a jailhouse and find You been arrested for driving while blind Now just the other night with nothin' to do And a case of Proof 1-0-2. I started itchin' for that wonderful feel Of rollin' in an automobile Now you could say we were out of our minds, But let me tell ya, we were flyin' while blind. Then he had us up against the wall, Hey! it's only blood-grain alcohol There ain't no cause for alarm We ain't out to do nobody no harm Now how could anyone be so unkind As to arrest a man for driving while blind? |

High class Slim came floatin' in
down from the county line. Just gettin' right on Saturday night, ridin' with some friends of mine. They invited me just to come and see just what was on their minds and then I took my first long look at the Master of Sparks on high. In the back of Jimmy's Mack stood a round steel cage welded into shape by Slim, made out of sucker gauge. How fine, they cried, now with you inside, strapped in there safe and sound. I thought, my-o-my, how the sparks will fly if that thing ever hit the ground. Slim was so pleased when I had eased into his trap of death. He had slammed the door but I said no more and I though I'd breathed my last breath. We was out in the sticks down Highway Six and the crowd was just about right. The speed was too, so out I flew like a stick of rollin' dynamite. When I hit the ground you could hear the sound and see the sparks a country mile. End over end I began to spin but the ball started runnin' wild. But it was too late as I met my fate and the ball started gettin' hot. But through the sparks and the flame I knew that the claim of the Master of Sparks was gone. - Billy Gibbons |
