That's the Way
--------------
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
My friend, the boy next door

I can't believe what people sayin'
"You gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
You're in the darker side of town"

And when I'm out, I see you walkin'
Why don't your eyes see me
And could it be you've found another game to play
What did mama say to me

"That's the way, oh, that's the way it oughta be-hee-hee"
Yeah, yeah
Mama said, "That's the way it oughta stay," yeah, yeah
O-ooh-hoo, hoo-hoo-ooh-ooh

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
and weren't those tears that filled your eyes
and all the fish that lay in dirty water dyin'
had they gotcha hypnotized

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
but all that lives is born to die
and so I say to you that nothing really matters
and all you do is stand and cry

I don't know what to say about it
when all your ears have turned away
but now's the time to look and look again at what you see
Is that the way it oughta stay

"That's the way, that's the way it oughta be-hee"
Whoa, don'tcha know, now
Mama said, mama said, "That's the way it's gonna stay," yeah
Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Aaah

Trampled Under Foot
-------------------
Greasy, slicked-down body
Groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road
Mama, it ain't no sin
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout

Ooh, trouble-free transmission helps your oil's flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me through your door
Talkin' 'bout love, ah, talkin' 'bout love, ooh
I'm talkin' 'bout

Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I can work all night, believe I got the perfect tools
Talkin' 'bout lo-ove, talkin' 'bout lo-ove, talkin' 'bout

A model built for comfort, really built with style
Special list edition, mama, let me feast my eyes
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout

Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama, let me pull your tires
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout

Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, believe I'm gonna crack your head
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love, I'm talkin' 'bout
I can't stop talkin' about, I can't stop talkin' about
Oooh, yeah, yes, a-drive on

Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, I'm comin' through
Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive
Talkin' 'bout love, I'm talkin' 'bout love, I'm talkin' 'bout

Ooh, yes, fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did before we synchronized
Talkin' 'bout lo-ove, talkin' 'bout love, I'm talkin' 'bout

Ooh-ooh, feather-light suspension -- Konis couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout low-oh-hove, talkin' 'bout
I can't, I can't, oh, I can't stop talkin' about love
I can't stop talkin' about love

Ooh, let me come down, come down
Comin' down, comin' down, come down, yes
I can't stop talkin' about
I can't stop talkin' about lo-ove, baby
I can't stop talkin' about love, a-my baby
I can't stop talkin' about love, my baby-ah
My baby, my baby, yeah
Push, push, push, push, yes, push, push
Ooooh

Travelling Riverside Blues
--------------------------
Hey, that's right
Asked sweet mama, "Let me a-be your kid"
She said-a, "You might get hurt if'n a-you don't a-keep it hid"
Well, uh-huh, I know my baby if I see her in the dark
I said, I know my rider if I see her in the dark

Now, I'm goin' to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Still barrelhouse 'cause it's on the riverside, yeah
I know my baby, lord, I said-a, beware, there's something wrong
I know my mama, lord, a brown-skin but she ain't no plum, ah-ha

See my baby, tell her, tell her, "Hurry home"
Had no lovin' since my baby geen bone (sic), yeah
See my baby, tell her, "Hurry on home"
I ain't had, no, my right mind since my rider's been gone

Hey, promises-a she's my rider
I wanna tell you, she's my rider
Blow your mind, she's my rider
She ain't but sixteen, but she's my rider

I'm goin' to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
Anybody argue with me, man, I'll keep them satisfied
Well, I see my baby, tell her, tell her the shape I'm in
Ain't had no lovin', lord, since you-know-when
Aww, yeah, my, my, my, my
Ah, why don't you come in my kitchen

My kindhearted baby, ya studies evil all the time
She's a kindhearted woman-a, studies evil all the time

Squeeze my lemon 'till the juice runs down my leg-a
Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right outta bed
Will you squeeze my lemon 'till the juice runs down my leg
I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about
Ah, well, the way that you squeeze it, girl-a
I swear, I'm gonna fall right outta bed

Aw, she's a good rider, hey-yeah
She's my kindhearted baby
I wanna take my rider by my side, yeah
I said, her front teeth are lined with gold
She got a mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soul
She's my brown-skinned sugar-plum
She makes me

Walter's Walk
-------------
Ooh, don't it feel so strange lookin' out the door
Aw, tryin' hard to change but can't let go
Oh, cryin' tears of pain that hurt more and more
Oh, every day is the same as you're walkin' the floor
I'm walkin' the floor over you, I'm walkin' the floor

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold
Oh, to the hand that takes your dreamless soul
Aw, is it long to wait, is it much to pay
Oh, 'cause sometimes it's hard waitin' for the day

You know it's hard, I said it's hard, you know it's true
I said it's hard, you know it's hard, you know it's true

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call, can you a-count the cost
As you stand alone, do you wonder how
Can you step aside, does it matter now

Every love that's changed
Every love that's changed, spend it fully
In the eye of the night, drive a heart ins'
In the eye of the night, put a heart insane
It never fails, in spite of it all
so you hide the tears in a Walter's walk
You know it's true, now
You know it's true, now, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah

I'm walkin' the floor over you, I'm walkin' the floor
Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost
When you hear the call can you count the cost
As you stand alone do you wonder how
Can you step aside, does it matter now
Does it matter now, does it

Now, does it mat', I said it's hard, woo, yeah, ooh, yeah
Ooh, little baby, don't you go
Every tear that falls, does it matter now
Does it matter now, oh, yeah, oh, yes, oh, yes

The Wanton Song
---------------
Silent woman, in the night you came
Took my seed from my shakin' frame
Same old fire, another flame
and the wheel rolls on

Silent woman, through the flames you come
From the deep behind the sun
Kissed my nightmares, my lovin' gun
Left me barely holdin' on, hold, hold

Blazin' eyes see the tremblin' hand
when we know the time has come
Ooh, blinded senses lose command
Feel your healin' rivers run

Is it every time I fall that I think this is the one
Ooh, in the darkness can you hear me call
Another day has just begun
Another day, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Silent woman, my own face does change
Some know the way it's become
Feel my fire needs a brand-new flame
and the wheel rolls on, rolls on, rolls on, rolls on, yeah
Rolls on

Wearing and Tearing
-------------------
It starts out like a murmur, and then it grows like thunder
'till it bursts inside of you
Try and hold it steady, wait until you're ready
Any second now will do
Throw the door wide open, not a word is spoken
Anything that you wanna do, yeah
You know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Now, don't you feel the same way
Now, don't you feel the same way
but you don't know what to do, well
No time for hesitatin', ain't no time for hesitatin'
All you got to do is move
A-say you're feelin' blue, well, I just found a cure
It's a thing you gotta do-ooh, yeah
You know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Now, listen, well, you say your body's achin'
Well, I know that it's achin'
Chill bumps come up on you
Yeah, the fun of foolin', I love the fun of foolin'
Just like foolin' after school
And then you ask for medication
Who cares for medication
when you've worn away the cure

You know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Hey, hey, hey, heyy, hey, hey, hey, heyy, hey, hey, hey, heyy

Go back to the country, you go back to the country
Feel the change is good for you
When you keep convincin', aw, don't keep convincin'
But what's that creepin' up behind a-you
It's just an old friend, it's just an old friend
And what's that he's got for you

You know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Hey-a, hey-yay
You feel it, yeah, feel it, yeah, feel it, yeah
Feel it, yeah, feel it, yeah, feel it, oh, feel it
Medication, a-medication, medication

What Is and What Should Never Be
--------------------------------
And if I say to you tomorrow
"Take my hand, child, come with me"
It's to a castle I will take you
Where what's to be, they say will be

A-catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
It won't, but the wind won't blow, we really shouldn't go
It only goes to show that you will be mine by takin' our time
Oooh, ho-whoa

And if you say to me tomorrow
"Oh, what fun it all would be"

It only goes to show that you will be mine a-by takin' our time
Oooh, ohh, oh-ho

So if you wake up with the sunrise
and all your dreams are still as new
and happiness is what you need so bad
Well, girl, the answer lies with you, yeah

A-catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
It won't, but the wind won't blow, we really shouldn't go
It only goes to show-ow that you will be mine by takin' our time
Oooh, ho-whoa

Hey, ho, ma
A-well, the wind won't blow, and we really shouldn't go

Do, no, no, no, no, no, no, come on, now

If it keeps on rainin', levee's going to break
