A SATISFIED MIND


How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had his money, I could do things my way."
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in Ten with a satisfied mind.

Once I was winning in fortune and fame;
Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in lifes
game.
But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonesome or a love that's grown
cold;
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When life is over, my time has run out,
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave, there's no
doubt.
But one thing for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU


Well, things are gonna change for me these nights
Don't want out my head and feel all right
Dark side of my mind ain't made one sound
Feel like someone else, but I don't feel down

And it's all because of you
The things you say and do
It's all because of you
I'm feeling something new

Hey I want you by my side so I can see
The way you look at life it's good for me
There's something going on that I ain't had
Don't feel so afraid and don't feel sad

And it's all because of you
The things you say and do
It's all because of you
I'm feeling something new

Now you're my baby
Yeah, you're my baby
Hey, you're my baby
Yeah, you're my baby

And so I want to think, from my heart
Give you something back, do my part
To love you like I should and start right now
If I know what to do, if I know how

And it's all because of you
The things you say and do
It's all because of you
I'm feeling something new

And it's all because of you
The things you say and do
It's all because of you
I'm feeling something new

ARLENE


Rollin' down the highway,
Runnin' by the cotton fields
Saw a sign I know I want to see again
Pretty young woman wearing skin-tight britches
And a t-shirt wetter than a snakeskin
Somebody said her name was Arlene
And her daddy is a shotgun toting
Kind of country man
I just said "what was that name again"
Ain't nobody gonna scare me away
Gonna hold my breath till I take her away

Arlene, hey are you comin' into town
Arlene, don't let your daddy tie you down
When you're sneaking out that window baby
Don't you make a sound
Do you want to boogie, are you into fool,
Fool, foolin' around

Well daddy ain't a working,
He's a sitting in lawn chair
Chewin on a mighty plug of Redman
Pretty as a picture and
He's got her chopping cotton
Like a convict sweating on a chain gang
Somebody oughta break her out of that scene
She's enough to make you want to do the old man in
Hey, what was that name again
Ain't no use in tryin' to settle me down
I'm a fool, I'm a downright clown clown for Arlene

Arlene, hey are you comin' into town
Arlene, don't let your daddy tie you down
When you're sneaking out that window baby
Don't you make a sound
Do you want to boogie, are you into fool,
Fool, foolin' around

Sitting in a bacco patch feeling like a weasel
I'm a waitin' on the lights to go dim
Wonderin' if my backside might be
Full of bullet shots
Before she gets away from him
Ain't nobody gonna scare me away
Gonna hold my breath till I take her away

(Repeat chorus)

When you're sneaking out that window baby
Don't you make a sound
Do you want to boogie, are you into fool,
Fool, foolin' around
Come on Arlene
I see you got that red dress on
This is it

BEYOND THE GREAT DIVIDE


There'll be greener pastures
Across that border line
We'll see new horizons, my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide

Pools of clear blue waters
Star light in the sky
You'll be mine forever, my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide

Somewhere in the distance
Northern lights will shine
You'll be there beside me, my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide

You'll be mine forever, my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide

BLUE RAILROAD TRAIN


Blue railroad train, goin' down the railroad track
It makes me feel so dog-gone blue, to listen to that old
smoke stack
Come back again, let me hear your whistle blow
You're takin' the sun, and leavin' the rain, and makin'
me want to go
I've got the blues, longin' for her company
It's many miles from where I am, to the only one for me
Well, it's lonesome here, waiting for the manifest
I hope that engineer is kind enough to let me be his
guest

And I'm not as bad, as you might think I am
Though I've traveled here, or hoboed there
Rambled these states around
Blue railroad train, a good old pal to me
You take me where, I want to go, I get my transportations
free

BLUE TRAIN


There's an engine at the station, the whistle calls my
name
It's callin', callin', callin', come and get aboard me
aboard the train
My baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery
I'm gonna call and make a reservation for me
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

I'm gonna climb aboard and ride until I learn to smile
I'll be knockin' out the blues while I'm knockin' out the
miles
With my guitar beating rhythm to click clack of the
wheels
I'm gonna sing the blues 'cause that's the way that I
feel
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

Conductor go and tell the man to shovel on the coal
It doesn't seem half as bad as long as I can roll
Give me another ticket and I'll stay and ride with you
'Cause there's nothing left to live for in this world
we're rollin' through
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train

BURN ME DOWN


Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down
Your lips, hold a wild desire
And give a kiss like the devil's fire
Your kind of love could burn a town
Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

You touch brings me to my knees
You've got me begging "please, please, please"
Take my heart and melt it down
Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

You're a wild love, I can't tame
Your kisses burn like flames
I go crazy, when you're around
So touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

I'm devoured by your fiery flame
My lips can only speak your name
Just spread my ashes all around
Ah touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

You're a wild love, I can't tame
Your kisses burn like flames
I go crazy, when you're around
So touch me, turn me on, and burn me down
Touch me, turn me on, and burn me down

BUSY BEE CAFE


Well if you're down in Mississippi, where the livin's
slow
And you're just standin' on the corner, wonderin' which
way to go
Just take a walk across town, to Beacon and Bay
Now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe
Well there's Old Uncle Furry, he's a sittin' on the
side
If you will talk to him just right, he might play you
some of his slide guitar
He's got shoe shine's a-pumpin', five dollars a day
And it's all goin' on at the Busy Bee Cafe

It's just a good time, no crime, mighty fine, have a
nice day
I see Lavala in the corner, speedin' her young life
away

I've heard that jukebox play "High Heel Sneakers"
twenty times a day
But when night rolls around, they move it out of theway
"Cause Footes and the boys, they come to town to play,
'til the break of day
Makin' everybody feel good at the Busy Bee Cafe

It's just a good time, no crime, mighty fine, have a
nice day
I see Lavala in the corner, speedin' her young life
away

If you're down in Mississippi, where the livin's slow
And you're just standin' on the corner, wonderin' which
way to go
Just take a walk across town, to Beacon and Bay, yeah
Now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe
Well, now you're right in front of the Busy Bee Cafe

BY GEORGE


She was the finest lookin' woman, that I've ever seen
Looked like she stepped right off the cover of a glamor magazine
I've never seen a girl like that in this country town
The facts are black and white when she threw her arms around me

I went crazy, we danced the hoochie-coochie
The tide was rollin' in, I was drownin' in a sea of romance
Then she popped the question in the back seat of my car
"If I let you love me would you let me call you, George"

I said, "Baby, baby, baby
(Baby, baby, baby)
Well, you can call me George Jetson, call me George Jones
I'll be your Georgie-Porgie, all night long"
How was I to know what I was in for
I had it rockin' and a rollin' for a while, by George

By, by, by, by George

We bought a blue refrigerator, satellite and DVDs
A cozy little couch and Motorola TV
She loved to watch those pretty boys with California style
Like a jealous Mickey Rooney, George Clooney drove her wild
And I went crazy

Well, she started growin' distant, I felt her discontent
I couldn't make her happy with what I bought or spent
Her heart grew as cold as the air in the Norge
On which she left a note that read, "Bye George"

And I said, "Baby, baby, baby", yeah
(Baby, baby, baby)
She called me George Jetson, she called me George Jones
I was her Georgie-Porgie, now she's gone
How was I to know what I was in for
I had it rockin' and a rollin' for a while, by George

By, by, by, by, by
By, by, by, by, George

COME INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD


Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
There's love overflowing
A joy that you'd be knowing
When you come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord

I got a friend named Jesus
He's everything, yes indeed
In your darkest hour
You can call upon His power
'Cause He knows everything you need
Every little thing you need

You don't have to preach like John the Baptist
Prophesied like Apostle Paul
If you just step inside, Jesus will provide
Love and salvation for us all
Love and salvation for us all

Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
There's love overflowing
A joy that you'd be knowing
When you come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord

I was adrift out in a desert
I led a shameful life of sin
But in my dissipation, I had a revelation
A Deacon took my hand and led me in
That's when my redemption did begin

Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
No one will be denied, no prayer will be ignored
When you come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord

Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
I laid my burden down, put on my robe and crown
When I come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
