BONE DRY 

Baby wants me to go cold turkey, bone dry
No Jack Daniels, no Jim Beam whiskey, bone dry
No stoppin' after work for a beer with the guys
Nothin' in the mornin' to open my eyes
It's hard comin' down from a permanent high, bone dry

I got my doubts if I can make it, a bone dry
It's a crazy world I don't know if I can take it, a bone dry
It's only been an hour, I'm startin' to shake
Sixty more minutes and I know I'll break
How much more of this hell can I take? Bone dry

Well, bone dry, boy, am I dry as a bone?
How'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone?
Break down, shake down layin' in bed
Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead and I'm bone dry

Baby took a look at her cold turkey, bone dry
I tried to smile but my mouth wasn't working I was bone dry
This is one promise that I'm gonna keep
Unless I get lucky and die in my sleep
One way or the other I'm gonna be bone dry

Well, bone dry, boy, am I dry as a bone?
How'd I ever say I'd ever leave it alone?
Break down, shake down layin' in bed
Covers are soaked and I'm damn near dead
Bone dry, bone dry, bone dry, bone dry

BONY MARONIE 

(Spoken)
Thank you very much
We've got a request for a fast one.
We don't usually do rock and roll numbers
But I don't know but about a verse of this one
But I'll do it. It goes like this.

(Sang)
Well, I got a gal named bony moronie
Well, she's got a neck like a stick of macaroni
You outta see her rock and rollin' with her blue jeans
on
Makin' love underneath the silvery moon.

I love her, and she loves me
And both as happy as we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I got a gal named bony moronie
Yeah, She's got a leg like a stick of macaroni
You outta see her rock and rollin' with her blue jeans
on
Makin' love under the silvery moon

I love her, and she loves me
Makin' love underneath the apple tree.

Makin' love underneath the apple tree.
Makin' love underneath the apple tree.
Makin' love underneath the apple tree...

BOOGIE WOOGIE MEXICAN BOY 

He was just a lad, not to old
Always lived in Mexico
And every day in the hot sunshine
He would dance and sing just to pass the time.

Dancin', prancin' up the street
Not even takin' time to eat
This little boy with the great big feet
Doing the boogie with the Mexican beat.

Seniorita, I ask you please
Do not sit down on my knees
I don't like for you to tease
Love me a little but a-please don't squeeze.

--- Instrumental ---

The girls they never get a chance
'Cause he's not a-lookin' for romance
He gives them not one single glance
'Cause all he like is to do his dance.

How the girls would like to meet
This little boy with the great big feet
They think that he's so doggone sweet
A doin' the boogie with the Mexican beat.

Seniorita, I ask you please
Do not sit down on my knees
I don't like for you to tease
Love me a little but a-please don't squeeze.

--- Instrumental ---

Then one day he went to Rome
Across the border into San Antoine
The girls there wouldn't leave him alone
When he did the boogie like he did at home.

Now this little boy I want you to know
Becaue he's always on the go
He don't ask anyone to form or go
A doin' the boogie in a-Mexico.

Seniorita, I ask you please
Do not sit down on my knees
I don't like for you to tease
Love me a little but a-please don't squeeze...

BOOK OF MEMORIES 

You've stolen my world from under me my cheating end deceving me
And now you've gone and set me free it's in my book of memories
Inside the book of pages black with photographs that take me back
I hide the dreams that used to be here in my book of memories

The photograph that shows a bride and a man with joy he could not hide
And one of a boy on his daddy's knee it's in my book of memories
Inside the book of pages black...

BORN TO LOSE 

Born to lose I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

Born to lose it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose and now I'm losing you.

Born to lose my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face an empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose and now I'm losing you...

BORROWED ANGEL 

Her fingers feel so gentle with her hand in mine
Her hair feels like silk on my arm
Her lips tell me so tenderly she's mine alone
Until we part tonight and she goes home.

Barrowed angels, belong to someone else
I love my borrowed angel, I just can't help myself
That ring upon her finger don't belong to me
But she loves me and I know she'll save
Some borrowed time for me.

--- Instrumental ---

I wish that I could have her more than just tonight
We can't go on like this, it isn't right
When that lonesome feelin' comes a-knockin' on my door
I'll call my borrowed angel to ease the pain once more.

Barrowed angels, belong to someone else
I love my borrowed angel, I just can't help myself
That ring upon her finger don't belong to me
But she loves me and I know she'll save
Some borrowed time for me...

BRIDGE WASHED OUT 

(The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side)
When I awke this a morning the rain was a pouring down
I was gonna wed the little river girl just over the bridge across town
Now I'm a runnin' up and down the river and my nerves are drivin' me wild
Because the bridge washed out I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Rain oh rain stop a fallin' dark clouds hurry from the sky
The preacher and my bride is a waitin' and the weddin' bells are starting to chime
I can't kiss and hold her and it's driving me out of my mind
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
[ guitar ]
Now I got one foot in the water the other foot solid on the ground
When I try to swim that ragin' ol' river I know if I try I'd drown
There's not a boat around me they walked on out with the tide
And the bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side
Rain oh rain stop a fallin'...
The bridge washed out and I can't swim and my baby's on the other side

BRING ON THE CLOWNS 

Come all you merry makers
You wine drinkers and heart breakers
Pass me the bottle one more round
Come all of you love makers
All you cheaters and lie makers
Fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns.

There's a place around the corner and I can't wait to
go
I can't stay away from there when I'm feeling low
Running from my problems, cheating on my wife
Acting like a hobo, running out on life.
Laughin loud, telling jokes, drinking to much wine
Gathered 'round the table we're all one of a kind.

Some come all you merry makers
You wine drinkers and heart breakers
Pass me the bottle one more round
Come all of you love makers
All you cheaters and lie makers
Fill me with happiness and bring on the clowns.

I thought that I was happy till I saw you walkin' in
And through the loud and noisy crowd you reach out your
hand
I know I shouldn't be here, I really don't belong
I'm proud that you still love me and you wanna take me
home.

Goodbye you merry makers
You wine drinkers and heart breakers
I'll be gone when the bottle passes 'round
Goodbye you love makers
All you cheaters and lie makers
You'll never miss me when you bring on the clowns.

'Cause I'll be with my baby when you bring on the
clowns.

BRINGIN' IT HOME 

Well, I'm tired of travelin' down this rocky old road
This old heart of mine is a-hurtin' from a heavy load
Aw, it eases those away my heart went wrong
But the Lord, He know I'm about to bring it on home.

Woa, I'm a-bringin' it, (I'm bringin' it, (yeah))
I'm bringin' it, (bringin' it, ) um yeah
I'm bringin' it, ever talking, yeah
I said I'm a-bringin' it, hmm
This old hearts been away to long
And I'm a-bringin' it home (a-bringin' it home.)

A when the angels come and carry me away
And I have to face the Lord on the justice day
I've got to have the power to stand upon His throne
That means a change in my heart and I'm a-bringin' it
home.

Well yea, I'm a-bringin' it, ( bringin' it) that's
right
I'm bringin' it, (bringin' it, ) um yeah
I'm bringin' it, ever talking, yeah
I said I'm a-bringin' it, hmm
This old hearts been away to long
And I'm a-bringin' it home (a-bringin' it home.)

--- Instrumental ---

Someday, somewhere you'll hear the trumpets sound
There'll be lightning, and thunder and a-earthquakes in
the ground
So don't you let the devil tell you that your hope is
gone
There'll be a whole lot of hearts that will never go
home.

Well, that's why I'm a-bringin' it, (I'm bring it,
(yeah))
I'm bringin' it, (bringin' it, ) uh huh
I'm bringin' it, ever talking, yeah
I'm a-bringin' it, hmm
This old hearts been away to long
And I'm a-bringin' it home (a-bringin' it home.)

Yeah, I'm bring' it (home), Yeah, I'm bringin' it
Well, that right I'm a bringin' it
Let's talk in the mean time
Yeah I'm a-bringin' it, hmm...

BROTHER TO THE BLUES 

You and I don't need an introduction
Neither one of us has that much to lose
'Cause you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues

Now, I don't have to tell you nights are lonely
There's a hunger in our eyes that tells the news
And you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues

It's hard to tell exactly which direction
We might go at any given time
It's just a constant search for affection
And we need all the comfort we can find

I know you can feel this attraction
From a night of love that both of us could use
'Cause you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues

Yes, you're just a sister to satisfaction
And I'm just a brother to the blues...
