Saturday Night Special
(ed king - ronnie vanzant)
Two feets they come a creepin
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are lyin naked
Creeper think he got nothin to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
And while a man reaching for his trousers
Shoots him full of .38 holes
(chorus)
Its a saturday night special
Got a barrel thats blue and cold
Aint no good for nothin
But put a man six feet in a hole
Big jims been drinkin whiskey
And playing poker on a losin night
Pretty soon, big jim starts a thinkin
Somebody been cheatin and lyin
So big jim commences to fightin
I wouldnt tell you no lie

Things Goin' On
(gary rossington - ronnie van zant)
Have you ever lived down in the ghetto
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow
If you don't know what i mean
Won't you stand up and scream
'cause there's things goin' on that you don't know
Ask them why they spend lives across the ocean
Ask them why they spend millions on the moon
Well, untill they make things right
Lots of people gonna be uptight
They better make some changes pretty soon
They gonna ruin the air that we breathe y'all
They gonna ruin us all bye and bye
Telling all you beware
I don't think they really care
Think they just sit up there and just get high
Have you ever lived down in the ghetto
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow
If you don't know what i mean
Won't you stand up and scream

Travellin Man
(leon wilkeson -- ronnie vanzant)
I was born a travellin man, thats all Ill ever be
Moving around from town to town its what makes me so free
My father was a trucker for the years since 23
On the day that I was born his blood was left for me
Im a travellin man
Travellin man -- thats what I am
Travellin man
Travellin man
Thats what I am
Travellin man -- thats what I am
No one puts a hold on me
Youll see me once or maybe twice
Thats all youll see of me
All you pretty women lord, I hope you understand
Dont be a fool and fall in love with a travellin man
Im a travellin man
Travellin man -- thats what I am
Travellin man
Travellin man

Hillbilly Blues
(gary rossington - ed king - johnny van zant - mike estes)
Getting work aint easy in the hills of tennessee
But things are bad all over my friends keep telling me
Even though I grew up there and never thought Id leave
Had too many bills to pay, seven mouths to feed
Movin to the city was all that I could do
Got them hillbilly blues
People here wont say goodmorning, they wont even take the time
I guess I know just how it feels to have something on your mind
So all I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream
This ol life Im living lord, you know it aint for me
They say the sun it shines out here, but all I see is rain
Got them hillbilly blues
Got them hillbilly blues
All I want is to go back home and fish in a mountain stream
This ol life Im living lord, you know it aint for me
They say the sun it shines out here, but all I see is rain
Got them hillbilly blues
Hillbilly blues
Hillbilly blues

Keeping The Faith
(g. rossington, e. king, j. van zant, d. tate)
Are you a saint then dont be a stranger
Were you sent down from heaven to show me the way
And if you aint then I see a danger
You better take a minute and hear what Ive got to say
(chorus)
cause Ill keep on tryin to put it straight to you
You better give it straight to me
cause most women seem to have a good time
Makin a fool out of me
Im keepin my faith Ive made up my mind
Ive got nothin left to lose just lay it on the line
Im keepin my faith yea Ill find the one
Who wont steal me blind who wont turn and run
Im keepin my faith Im trustin in you
So dont treat me like those other ones do
Aint no gettin round it tell me to my face
Do you think Im a fool for keepin my faith in you
Ill treat you right Ill do you better
I wont disappoint you I wont make you cry

Well now they call me the breeze

Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin on
Well I got that green light baby
I got to keep movin on
Well I might go out to california
Might go down to georgia

Cant Take That Away
(johnny van zant, robert johnson, michael lunn)
What can they all be thinkin
Wanna take the cross off of the hill
Put away the pledge of allegience
Lord,just the thought gives me a chill
They can take God off our money but, in the end o aint it funny
How were all gonna see him on the judgement day
So sing it loud
(chorus)
One more time
Hear what you say
When you got the truth inside, now they cant take that away
One more time
cause it aint too late
Hold on to what you believe cause thay cant take that
They cant take that away
They want to change somethin somewhere for everybody
Right now a change aint what we need
Just like my fathers father before him
They held on with pride to everything they believed

Honkey Tonk Night Time Man
Little bit of Bakersfield
I'm a honky tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I'm a honky tonk night time man
I can't stand no light
I get my rest in the day time
Do my runnin' around at night
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
I had the blues this morning
Had the blues all day today
Well I wish a tornado
Come and blow my blues away, away
That's what I said, take 'em away
Sounds like Roy
Yeah
And then my heart starts beatin'
When that sun starts sinkin' low
Well my heart starts beatin'
When that sun starts sinkin' low

Down South Jukin'
(ed king - ronnie vanzant)
Well, billy joe told me ,well everything's lookin' fine
He got the place all secure, got the icebox full of wine
He said, now hurry on all and don't be late
I got three lovely ladies who just won't wait
We'll do some down south jukin', lookin' for some peace of mind
Now put your sunday pants, lets get out on the road
We've been workin' all week and i think its time we let go
We got three fine mamas sitting all alone
Gonna sip our wine, gonna get it on
And do some down south jukin, lookin' for some peace of mind
Well, come monday morning we'll be headed out to the the field
We'll be doin' everything for papa and ol' uncle bill
Well, come friday night we'll be headed to town
Tryin' to pick up any woman hanging around
And do some down south jukin', lookin' for some peace of mind
And do some down south jukin', lookin' for some peace of mind
And do some down south jukin', lookin' for a peace of mind

I Never Dreamed
(ronnie vanzant -- steve gaines)
My daddy told me always be strong son
Dont you ever cry
You find the pretty girls and then you love them
Then you say goodbye
I never dreamed that you would leave me
But now youre gone
I never dreamed that I would miss you
Woman wont you come back home
I never dreamed that you could hurt me
And leave me blue
Ive had a thousand, maybe more
But never one like you
I never dreamed I could feel so empty
But now Im down
I never dreamed that I would beg you
Woman I need you now
It seems to me I took your love for granted
It feels to me that this time I was wrong, so wrong
Oh lord now I feel so lonely
