I know a cabin down there in Tennessee
Where you can't find the forest on account of the trees And Old Perry Foster he got something to say And you can smell the pigs cuz' they been cookin' all day [CHORUS] I don't need no critics I don't need no suits I just need somebody who can tell me the truth You can keep your opinions You can keep on walkin' I'm gonna raise my glass yeah to Thunderhead Hawkins [REPEAT TWICE] Miss Mary Jane she always looks like a star But the rock n roll banker likes to sleep in his car You won't hear no opry you'll hear six strings And you won't know what to do when you hear Thunderhead sing [REPEAT CHORUS] Now Mr. Hawkins got a family tree He got that their legendary cabin down in Tennessee You know he'll hook up that guitar everybody gather round You stay close to the fire when the sun goes down Old Brother Merle he's always waiting in the wings Only man up in them woods wearin' all them gold rings Old Mr. Hawkins he won't do nobody wrong But he'll he'll tear your heart out with one sad song [REPEAT CHORUS] |

Here's to the good life or so they say
All those parties and games that all those people play They tell me this is the place to be All those beautiful people and nothing to see *Sometimes I feel like something is gone here Something is wrong here I don't belong here Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town And I've lost what I've found It'll all turn around In a little while I'll be thinking about you In a little while I'll still be here without you You never gave me a reason to doubt you In a little while I'll be thinking about you baby I'll be thinking about you baby On the other side of a coin there's a face There's a memory somewhere that I can't erase And there's a place that I'll find someday But sometimes I feel like it's slipping away * Repeat Some things are lost, some left behind Some things are better left for someone else to find Maybe in time I could finally see I just wonder, wonder if you think about me * Repeat I'll be thinking about you baby I'll be thinking about you baby, baby, baby |

*I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright I've been lost in Boston, Austin Texas is always sweet I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away And it seems I spent a lifetime tryin' to make everything ok I wanna go down to see her She's my little queen I wanna go down to tell her She means the world to me I wish I was down to watch her Play that tambourine She always brought a smile to me I'd do anything I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright I wish sometimes that I could say she never told me so And I'd walk a million miles on down the same old broken road Now you can always reap just what you sew I know that's true And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet won't fit these shoes I wanna go down to see her She's my little queen I wanna go down to tell her She means the world to me I wish I was down to watch her Play that tambourine She always brought a smile to me I'd do anything I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright If I listened closely I can hear it oh so clear Like a south bound train like fallin' rain like a whisper in my ear Everything I'd like to hear you know I don't hear much no more But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right thru that door I wanna go down to see her She's my little queen I wanna go down to tell her She means the world to me I wish I was down to watch her Play that tambourine She always brought a smile to me I'd do anything I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me Everything's gonna be alright *Repeat |

Day after day I'm more confused
Yeah I look for the light Through the pourin' rain You know that's a game that I hate to lose I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away Beginin' to think that I'm wastin time I don't understand the things I do The world outside looks so unkind I'm countin' on you to carry me through Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me When I'm feelin' blue The guitars comin' through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know that I believe in the song And rhythm and rhyme and harmony You helped me along, you're makin' me strong Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll And drift away Won't you help me, won't you help me, Won't you help me drift away.. |

Everything has a reason
At least that's what they all say And I've lost my count of the seasons I don't know what's been makin' me stay Many's the times that you've hurt me That's just the way that you live Many a time is forgotten But I never said that I can forgive *So baby don't cry, cry me a river And baby don't try to wash over me yeah Baby don't cry my ship is now sailin' And I've wasted all my time in your sea And I've wasted all my time in your sea Now that your toys have been broken I guess you want company There is no point in you callin' Cuz I'm headed for my own destiny Now everyone has a problem yeah Lord knows you've always been mine The nights are always the hardest But tonight some how I know I'll be fine *REPEAT |

Lookin' back on everything
And all the things that stay I can count on memories Cuz they don't go away Good times were hard to hold Until she came along She moves me like a Memphis soul song I'm not always there I know But she don't mind at all As pretty as a picture that hangs on my own wall She's like Mississippi When the sun comes up at dawn She moves me like a Memphis soul song With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song She moves me like a Memphis soul song She don't care what the game is She's always down to play My world without her seems a million miles away She don't have to worry I know where I belong She moves me like a Memphis soul song I've been dealt some aces And I've played them all the same But she's the only one that keeps me in the game No fame or fortune could ever keep me gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song She moves me like a Memphis soul song [BRIDGE] There's a magic down in Memphis That never seems to fade Even now them voices carry Like a lonely serenade It's the memories that still and always will be on my mind They move me every time She see's the good in everything there is to see Sometimes I wonder what she ever see's in me I'm not always right you know But she's never led me wrong She moves me like a Memphis soul song In all my travels I've never found a way To find the words that say the things I'd like to say I've sang some melodies but she's my favorite one She moves me like a Memphis soul song With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone She moves me like a Memphis soul song She moves me like a Memphis soul song |

I'm nothing fancy
I'm nothing special that's true But I know what your thinkin' Cuz I'm thinkin' that same thing too Now you'd like everything to go your way And I should probably say everything you'd like me to say But that's not me and baby that just wouldn't be you You better watch how long you wait Cuz baby you might wait too long *I don't know if I could make you happy And I don't know if I could make you cry I don't know if the clock stops at midnight I can't see past forever but together we can fly Together we can fly Now let's pretend for a while that we've got no place to be You've been broken before but baby that wasn't me Now I'm trying to ask you to come To that same old place that you've been runnin' from We've been down that road You know there's nothing to see You better watch how long you wait Cuz baby you might wait too *Repeat Bay there' no use in waiting I can see that your hopes are fading They tell me that time is precious baby Why do you keep wastin' time? *Repeat |

You made me laugh some
You made me cry some too You sent me off into a world of pain And made me someone new You made all kinds of promises But only some came true Now I know you need me more than I need you *To think I used to love you For reasons I don't know You polished up my halo And I dirtied up your soul I sure had a good time But we both know I can't stay To think I used to love you but I'm leaving anyway You know I'm not perfect And I tried to make you see Somehow you though of everything But you didn't think about me Lies and disappointment Makes your world go round It's to late save me so you might as well come down *Repeat |

I'm no stranger to shame
I've got little to blame You sent for me and so I came I'll come runnin' when you call my name Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame I might stagger and I might sway I might stutter just a bit but that's ok I'm not walkin' too good that's true I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me though I might appear to be a pile of rags But I'm a stack of hundreds in a paper bag I've been around this world and back I made a million bucks and put it all on black So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away It's not the first time, not the last You can leave me where I lay, because So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away It's not the first time, not the last You can leave me where I lay, because [REPEAT CHORUS] I've been known to wake up in some dirty places The sun only shines on deserving faces The mind erases, forgets the stars See each and every city has corner bar That's where I am in a world so grim The lights are as bright as the day is dim See I'm priceless in a class of my own I used to stay out late but now I don't go home So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away It's not the first time, not the last You can leave me where I lay, because How do you feel when the birds are chirpin' When your in bed and everybody is workin' Are you down with the non believers Make the slackers look like over achievers The dogs scratchin' on the door again The cat's out but he don't wanna come in You got a bed and you got a floor But the couch is closer to your front door So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away It's not the first time, not the last You can leave me where I lay, because [REPEAT CHORUS] |
