Stand Back
By gregg allman and berry oakley

I recall once upon a time,
Livin was so easy and I felt so fine.
But, my, my, my right before my very eyes,
Satan came with fire to burn me,
Wouldnt listen when they warned me.
A dagger in my back while shes calling me honey,
Wouldnt stand back, for neither love nor money.
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail,
She put up a sign and my house began to wail.
But, why, why, why I couldnt see it in my little girls eyes?
She had such a way to fool me, lord she had a way to fool me.
And I would ask the woman, can you find it in yourself to please stand back?
You aint gonna rule me.
Just when all began to fade,
I reached out, threw the ace of spades.
I put her on a train to the everglades.
Now that its all over and gone,
Somehow I just dont feel so alone.

I Got A Right To Be Wrong
By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
Oh-uh-oh, oooh.
I got a right to be wrong.
I got a right to be lonely when youre gone.
Whoa, Ill get out around, tear up my own home town.
Get mocked up, locked up, wind up in the lost and found,
Oh, I got a right to be wrong.
Well its so easy to give advice,
When you aint the one who got to pay the price.
Sit up there on your hill telling me I got to sink or swim.
Well it might thrill you, to make me want to kill ya,
I cant believe youre leavin me for him,
I got a right to be wrong.
Chorus:
Oh, loan me a dollar and watch me follow you around,
You got all the moves, youre puttin me through school.
Oh, I give you my best, but I guess Im still your fool,
Babe, I got you down in my song.
I got a right to be wrong.

No One To Run With
By betts and prestia
(c) 1994 sony music entertainment, inc.
Everybody wants to know where jimmy has gone
He left town, I doubt if hes coming back home
Well tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for the rest of his life
[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Im gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again
Dont know where Im going, like a gypsy out on the road
Ill go someplace and join a traveling show
[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore

Can You Fool
Greg:
Well you can take all of the money that you made and
but it in the jar
Drag out a map that will show you
is heaven very far
You take all of the medicine you need 'til ya
find out who you are
Maybe you can figure
why that woman wanna be so cruel
But ya, ya just can't forget her, can you fool
Oh-oh
Cher:
Well those winter nights
and the city lights
and the crying of the train
Everyday is a straight up gray
Every memory's a fade
And then ya finally use the sense God gave ya
to come out of the rain
Still you can't figure

Get On With Your Life
I went around to your house,
Found you laid up in the bed,
By early afternoon you were so sloppy drunk,
You couldnt even raise up your head.
So get on with your life baby,
Please let me get on with mine.
These days and your ways are so painful,
Youre just wasting all our precious time, ohhh.
Since first I knew your name,
I wasnt sure that you really cared.
Spent most of your time with the other boys,
And its been all down hill from there.
So get on with your life baby,
Please let me get on with mine.
Each day brings a new confusion,
Another way to break this poor heart of mine.
I cant begin to count the times that Ive told ya,
You better change all your wicked ways,
But Im real sure whatever the number,
Ah its the same as the times you laughed in my face.

Two Rights
By dickey betts, mike lawler & johnny cobb
Copyright 1981 pangola publishing co
Transcribed by paul gongola
Youre coming back into my life
After all this time apart
After my heart has been broken in two
Now you wanna turn around and go back through
All the hurt, all the pain
Im not sure it could ever be the same
cause two rights cant make up for one wrong
Ive spend so many nights alone
One kiss cant make it disappear
Even though youre here tonight
Baby two rights cant make up for hurting someone
I guess you think its all a game
Someone gets hurt, someone gets blamed
You dont seem to realize
Theres someone else
In my eyes
cause two rights cant make up for one wrong

Wasted Words
By gregg allman
Copyright 1972 & 1974, no exit music co., inc. & allbros music co.
Can you tell me, tell me, friend, just exactly where Ive been?
Is that so much to ask? Ill pay you back no matter what the task.
You seem really sure bout something I dont know,
Take that load off, looks like chests about to go.
Your wasted words already been heard, are you really god, yes or no?
Well, all day and half the night youre walkin round lookin such a fright.
Is it me or is it you? Id make a wager and Id hope to lose.
Times gone, looks like rome is bout to fall,
Next time take the elevator, please dont crawl.
Your wasted words so absurd, are you really satan, yes or no?
Well, I aint no saint and you sure as hell aint no savior,
Every other christmas I would practice good behavior.
That was then, this is now, dont ask me to be mister clean,
cause baby, I dont know how.
Ring my phone bout ten more times, we will see,
Find that broke down line and let it be.
Your wasted words wiill never be heard, go on home baby and watch it on tv.
Weekday soap-box speciality, you know what Im talkin bout now,

Whats Done Is Done
By gregg allman, allen woody
Copyright 1994 sony music entertainment, inc.
Transcribed by ed luskey
I couldnt stay around and finish high school,
I had to hit the streets as soon as I could.
Now Im runnin, always runnin,
As I turned out the way they said I would.
Daddy told me all about chasing women,
Watched my momma lose her mind and all her hope.
Now the only thing thats left of my pathetic life,
Is dangling at the end of a rope.
Whats done is done,
Had me way too much fun,
Now Im runnin from a man with a gun,
Looking back over my shoulder, but I wont get much older
Whats done is done,
Lord, whats done is done.
Started hanging with the wrong kind of people,
Fooling with the wrong kind of folks.
Made my living doing things, got me locked up in chains,

Come & Go Blues
Come and go blues
By gregg allman
(c) 1973 & 1974 by no exit music co. inc. & allbros music co.
People say that youre no good,
But I wouldnt cut you loose, baby, if I could.
Well, I seem to stay down on the ground,
Baby, Im too far gone to turn around.
Oh, if only you would make up your mind,
Take me where you go, youre leaving me behind.
Lord, you got those come and go blues,
Lord, you got those some and go blues,
Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin like a fool.
round n round, round we go, -
Dont ask me why I stay here, I dont know.
Well maybe Im a fool to care,
Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere.
Here Ill stay, locked in your web,
Till that day I might find somebody else.
I dont know just when that would be,
I dont know, I cant say as I cant see.

Aint Wastin Time No More
Transcribed by joshua zemel
Last sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain.
Week before, they all seemed the same.
With the help of God and true friends, I come to realize
I still had two strong legs, and even wings to fly.
And oh i, aint wastin time no more
cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things.
Lord, lord miss sally, why all your cryin?
Been around here three long days, youre lookin like youre dyin.
Just step yourself outside, and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby, find somebody to love.
Meanwhile I aint wastin time no more
cause time goes by like pouring rain, and much faster things.
You dont need no gypsy to tell you why
You cant let one precious day slip by.
Look inside yourself, and if you dont see what you want,
Maybe sometimes then you dont,
But leave your mind alone and just get high.
Well by and by, way after many years have gone,
And all the war freaks die off, leavin us alone.
