I Got The Same Old Blues
(j.j. cale)
Have you heard that rumor thats goin around
My babys got a man, lord way across town
Its the same old story
Tell me where will it end
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again
Well I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong
Stood at the doorway and baby you was gone
Took a lot of courage
To let the telephone ring
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Well you gave me the business, though I didnt mind
cause I got a lot of patience, lord got a lot of time
Its the same old story
Tell me where will it end
I got the same old blues, same old blues again
Here come my blues
Gonna find me a mountain and gonna hide out
Aint talkin to you babe, lord I aint comin back
Well I heard that rumor, tell where will it end

Wino
(ronnie van zant - rickey medlocke - allen collins)
Wino on the street. drinkin a bottle of booze
Aint got nothing to say, yeah. and he dont got much to lose
Times are on his face. blisters on his brain
Wonders whos at fault. knows that hes to blame
Thinks back on his childhood and wonders the reasons why
Why some men have made it rich. why some men have cried
Reached out his hand, lord. for a nickel or a dime
Livin every day, yeah, for one more taste of wine
Wino, soon youve got to choose
How long must you take abuse
Wino, you wasnt born to lose
Sweet wine is making you a fool
Wino on the street. drinkin a bottle of booze
Aint got nothing to say, yeah. and he dont got much to lose
I want to help him out with his troubles and woes
I guess hes a happy young man. God in heaven only knows
Wino, soon youve got to choose
How long must you take abuse
Wino, you wasnt born to lose

One Thing
(gary rossington, johnnyvan-zant, ed king, dale krantz-rossington, custer)
I met the man, when I was fifteen
Seen him in all the papers, on t.v. and magazines
So I had to ask him, whats the difference between
Those who make a wish, those who spin wheels
And those who ride in white limosines like you,mister
Wont you tell me one thing
Some have the passion and they control the ride
Some settle for whatever happens
As years pass they see their lives just slip on by
The world keeps a turnin
Itll leave you behind
Nothin else matters, nothins worth learnin
Until the dream you have inside
(chorus)
Its the one thing, the one thing theres no denyin
So find yourself a dream and some piece of mind
cause money and power wont buy it
Its the one thing, nothin else matters
And somewhere you might have heard the good times are through

Southern Women
(g.& d. rossington, j. van zant, e. king)
Im the kind of man that loves all the girls
From debutantes to honky-tonk queens
Ive tasted every brand all around the world
But all I see are peaches in my dreams
Im talkin bout, Im talkin bout them southern women
Its a well known fact across the dixie line
And if a man dont agree I can tell you hes blind
They can drink with the best and the hell with the rest
And if she takes you home you aint gettin no rest
(chorus)
Im talkin bout, Im talkin bout them southern women
Im talkin bout theyll love you so slow them southern women
Them southern girls
They look like angels on saturday night oh-lord they got a wild side
Take you places that youve never been make a man come back again

Aint no others can cast a spell like the sweet southern women
(repeat chorus)
They can make a man feel so proud they can capture him with a southern style

Mama (Afraid To Say Goodbye)
(e. king, j.& d. van zant, gary rossington)
Shed wake us up early every mornin
Shed help us say our prayers every night
She was always there to help us through the hard times
We could count on her to make everything alright
I remember swingin on the front porch
Papa said theres somethin I need to say tonight
Mamas been sick for a long time
Lets pray to God she can make it through the night
(chorus)
Mama dont wanna say goodbye
She said wipe those tears from your eyes
Mama I dont wanna say goodbye
It was written in the heavens and the skies above
Son I gave you birth showed you all my love
I cant think of this life without you its hard to try
Mama Im afraid to say goodbye
Now kids Ive been hangin on a long time
I hate to leave this world before your grown
Remember everything that Ive taught you

Devil In The Bottle
(gary rossington - dale krantz rossington - johnny vanzant)
Well, theres a devil in the bottle, staring straight at me
Daring me to reach out, but I know hes testing me
If I take just one sip, I become that devils son
Act a fool, sell my soul before God and everyone
Oh lord, I know, I only hurt the ones I love
Im walkin down this dead end road, all alone and by myself
Wish I could blame the whiskey, but I can only blame myself
Running out of chances, and lord thats such a crime
I got to find the answer before I lose my mind
Oh lord its a cryin shame, oh lord Ive caused so much pain
I only hurt the ones I love
Theres a devil in a bottle that just wont let me be
So many times Ive been hurtin my soul and family
But I got free on the day I fought the
Devil in the bottle
The next time that ol devil tries to get the best of me
Ill smash that bottle against the wall and know Im finally free
Theres a devil in a bottle that just wont let me be
Theres so many times I let him hurt me

Best Things In Life
(gary rossington, tom keifer, johnnyvan-zant)
Ive got a sayin in my life thats got me by so far
Well it mat not be right but, nobodys gonna tell me Im wrong
The first mistake is leave it up to somebody else
If you want somethin done you got to do it yourself
Ill do it myself before somebody makes a fool out of me
(chorus)
cause nothin comes easy for a man like me
Everybody thinks the best things in life are free
If they would open their eyes itd be so plain to see
That the best things in life dont come so easily
I met a man who thought just a little bit different from me
He said you got it so easy but I just had to disagree
It would have been alright but he pushed me too far
If your lookin for trouble step outside of this bar
If it comes down to fistin, mister that aint nothin new to me
(repeat chorus)
Youll find in this life if theres somethin that you believe
You got to get your hands dirty when its somethin that you really need
If they ever give you somethin too easily

Dont Ask Me No Questions
(gary rossington - ronnie vanzant)
Well everytime that I come home nobody wants to let me be
It seems that all the friends I got just got to come interrogate me
Well, I appreciate your feelings and I dont want to pass you by
But I dont ask you about your business, dont ask me about mine
Well its true I love the money and I love my brand new car
I like drinkin the best of whiskey and playing in a honky tonk bar
But when I come off the road, well I just got to have my time
cause I got to find a break in this action, else Im gonna lose my mind
(chorus)
So, dont ask me no questions
And I wont tell you no lies
So, dont ask me about my business
And I wont tell you goodbye
Thats right
Well, whats your favorite color and do you dig the brothers, is drivin me up a wall
And everytime I think I can sleep, some fool has got to call
Well dont you think that when I come home, I just want a little peace of mind
If you want to talk about the business buddy, youre just wastin time
(chorus)
