Big Mama
The caddy tilts to one side
When Big Mama drives to town
She’s challenged somewhat vertically
But she’s plenty big a round
She got a smile like a gold mine
No sweeter woman can be found
But you don’t mess with Big Mama
Cause you know she’ll take you down
She got a honky tonk by the river
she call the Moulin Rouge
shoot’n craps in the corner
and somebody sing the blues
About money and heartache
Oh it’s never ours to choose
Come to gambling or loving
Someone going to lose
She got a man that she love
He go by T-Ray Brown
But he was no good for her
He was always mess’n’ round
She got tired of worrying
Just where he might be found
She prayed heavy for his soul lord
Oh then she shot him down
Self defense is what she told them
Public service you might say
Rid the world of scallywags
The likes of T-Ray
But the judge he had no mercy
He had to put her away
She got ten but only served one
Selling moonshine, she had to pay
Now Big Mama’s back in town
And she’s cruising all along
Up and down that boulevard
Didn’t take her long
Till she found another man
But he’s resisting mighty strong
But my money on Big Mama
Cause a year behind them bars
without no man
is just too long
The caddy tilts to one side
When Big Mama drives to town
She’s challenged somewhat vertically
But she’s plenty big a round
She got a smile like a gold mine
No sweeter woman can be found
But you don’t mess with Big Mama
Cause you know she’ll take you down
She got a honky tonk by the river
she call the Moulin Rouge
shoot’n craps in the corner
and somebody sing the blues
About money and heartache
Oh it’s never ours to choose
Come to gambling or loving
Someone going to lose

Time is Not Money
My dog knows time's just time
And that time is not money
He goes belly up on the front porch
When the day gets a little sunny
I could take a lesson from him
Stop chasing around the clock
Find some roses that need smelling
A sun setting at a dock
I had some kids yesterday
They were snot nosed in their crib
Now they old and gone
I can’t remember all they did
All that fussing and a fighting
While I was off behind the plow
I would give my right arm for the chance
To hear them fussing now
Time is not money
Not the past or tomorrow
It’s the second that you’re living now
There’s no more you can borrow
Time is not money
It’s each move that you make
So take the time to feel the time
In every breath you take
I was young and strong
Could toss a mule to the ground
But now I creak and pop you know
Just when I move around
I’m saying this world is spinning fast
In a flash you’ll fly away
So you better take the time for time
And hold on to each day
You’ve heard this all before
And it sticks through pain and sorrow
When things start running smooth
You’ll forget it on the morrow
But time just keep ticking
Whether you notice it or not
It’s gone and when it’s gone
You will have had what you had got
Time is not money
Not the past or tomorrow
It’s the second that you’re living now
There’s no more you can borrow
Time is not money
It’s each move that you make
So take the time to feel the time
In every breath you take
My dog knows time's just time
And that time is not money
He goes belly up on the front porch
When the day gets a little sunny

Stop chasing around the clock
Find some roses that need smelling
A sun setting at a dock

Now they old and gone
I can’t remember all they did
All that fussing and a fighting
While I was off behind the plow
I would give my right arm for the chance
To hear them fussing now
Time is not money
Not the past or tomorrow
It’s the second that you’re living now
There’s no more you can borrow
Time is not money
It’s each move that you make
So take the time to feel the time
In every breath you take
I was young and strong
Could toss a mule to the ground
But now I creak and pop you know
Just when I move around
I’m saying this world is spinning fast
In a flash you’ll fly away
So you better take the time for time
And hold on to each day
You’ve heard this all before
And it sticks through pain and sorrow
When things start running smooth
You’ll forget it on the morrow
But time just keep ticking

So take the time to feel the time
In every breath you take

Hello Mr. Lover Man
Why don’t you belly up to the bar
Put on your highest boots
Your about to meet the star
Of the silver tongued heartless ladies
Who’s in life for the game
She’ll take the best things that you have
And never know your name
She is a chameleon
She changes with the times
Colored feelings blend in hand
As she makes her story shine
Reaching for those things she needs
With her silver tongued heartless lies
Well now Mr. Lover Man
I see you’re going home with her
Your boots were not quite tall enough
She’s got you now for sure
Hold on to your heart at least
Don’t let her have it all
She’ll take the best thing that you have
Tomorrow is the fall
She is a chameleon
Well now Mr. Lover Man
I see the morning light hurts your eyes
But not as much as when you awake
And begin to realize
There’s no one there beside you
No sorrowful note goodbye
Just the memories the wounded heart
From her silver tongued heartless lies
She is a chameleon
Hello Mr. Lover Man

I’ll Only Love That Woman
You say do I want a woman
To live with all my life
A feminine companion
that I can call a wife
The answer is yes I guess if she can heed my plea
I’ll only love that woman is she’s loving only me
She can be independent
Chase her own dreams
She don’t have to sew up
No hole in my jeans
But when it comes to loving we must agree
I’ll only love that woman is she’s loving only me
Don’t want no woman of mine
Who’s got that wondering eye
Don’t want no smooth talking lady
Who tell pretty lies
She’s gotta to bring her love on home
Where it’s meant to be
I’ll only love that woman if she’s loving only me
Now it’s nature’s design
The world is full of passion
My girl you are talking of though
I’m a little bit old fashion
I love to love my lady oh so tenderly
I’ll only love that woman is she’s loving only me
Don’t want no woman of mine
Who’s got that wondering eye
Don’t want no smooth talking lady
Who tell pretty lies
She’s gotta to bring her love on home
Where it’s meant to be
I’ll only love that woman if she’s loving only me
You say do I want a woman
To live with all my life
A feminine companion

The answer is yes I guess if she can heed my plea
I’ll only love that woman is she’s loving only me

But when it comes to loving we must agree
I’ll only love that woman is she’s loving only me
Don’t want no woman of mine
Who’s got that wondering eye
Don’t want no smooth talking lady
Who tell pretty lies

Where it’s meant to be
I’ll only love that woman if she’s loving only me
Now it’s nature’s design
The world is full of passion

Where it’s meant to be
I’ll only love that woman if she’s loving only me
She’s Gone ©
Greyhound to Sedona
With the world flying by
Silent movie passing
Through those vacant eyes
Junky shooting in the back row
Her baby crying in the wind
Baby crying in the wind
She’s gone
Gone
Baby cries she’s gone
He steps off in Sedona
With the baby safe and sound
Heart caught in the middle
Of world spinning round
Junky on to LA
Baby coos in his arms
Baby coos in his arms
She’s gone
Gone
Baby coos she’s gone
It’s tumbleweeds and stardust
It’s mother’s empty breast
It’s the humming of a Greyhound
It’s a bird without a nest
She’s gone
Baby cries she’s gone
Light falls pain swells
As dark eats the sky
Junky on the floorboard
As hometown passes by
She missed her last stop
Baby dreams in the night
Baby dreams in the night
That she’s gone
Gone
Baby dreams she’s gone
Greyhound to Sedona
With the world flying by
Silent movie passing
Through those vacant eyes
Junky shooting in the back row
Her baby crying in the wind
Baby crying in the wind
She’s gone
Gone
Baby cries she’s gone
He steps off in Sedona
With the baby safe and sound
Heart caught in the middle
Of world spinning round
Junky on to LA
Baby coos in his arms
Baby coos in his arms
She’s gone

Baby coos she’s gone

Baby dreams in the night
Baby dreams in the night
That she’s gone
Gone
Baby dreams she’s gone
Half a Man
Ricky lost Rita in Houston
In an unsightly scene at the mall
French fries and insults were flying
Ricky took the brunt of it all
He flew down the road of depression
He drove till the sun couldn’t shine
Just half of the man that he once was
Before Rita, oh sublime
He’s down in Nuevo Laredo
Sucking worms from the bottle of demise
While a whore and matador drop pesos
To the gringo with death in his eyes
Ricky threw a boot through the mirror
As the mariachis played on
Someone threw Ricky to the sidewalk
In so many ways, he was gone
He awoke in the night to a vision
There’s an old man there at his side
Who offered a blanket and looked on
With sorrow in his eyes
He was old, filthy he was crippled
Had no legs from the waste on down
Just half of the man that he once was
Before life oh, came down
Lo siento por ti mi amigo
A veces es cruel la vida
Salud a cade dia que conoces
Too sol siempre brillara
When Ricky awoke in the morning
The old man asleep off there to the side
He laid all them pesos there by him
He was feeling much stronger inside
He climbed in his pickup and drove north
More of man than you might say
His sun was shining down on him
Sometimes life just works out that way
I’m sorry for you my friend
You know life is cruel sometimes
And here’s to each day you meet
That your sun may always shine
Ricky lost Rita in Houston
In an unsightly scene at the mall
French fries and insults were flying
Ricky took the brunt of it all
He flew down the road of depression
He drove till the sun couldn’t shine
Just half of the man that he once was
Before Rita, oh sublime
He’s down in Nuevo Laredo
Sucking worms from the bottle of demise
While a whore and matador drop pesos
To the gringo with death in his eyes
Ricky threw a boot through the mirror
As the mariachis played on
Someone threw Ricky to the sidewalk
In so many ways, he was gone
He awoke in the night to a vision
There’s an old man there at his side
Who offered a blanket and looked on
With sorrow in his eyes
He was old, filthy he was crippled
Had no legs from the waste on down
Just half of the man that he once was
Before life oh, came down
Lo siento por ti mi amigo

Life’s Too Short
She know which way the wind blows
She know the phases of the moon
But its Devil beware
When the wind’s in her hair
She’s singing her own tune
Oh you know she’s looking for Jesus
Thumb and legs in the air
It’s a serpentine route
But there’s no doubt
One day she’s going to get there
Life’s too short for worry
There’s no caution in the wind
Blow through the years
The pain the tears
As if Jesus needs a friend
Oh she’ll take whatever you give her
Be it weed, whiskey or wine
Her faith’s renewed
When her mind is askew
She sees better when she’s blind
She’s going to meet her maker
No worries along the way
She blow she go
You don’t want to know
The price she’s gonna pay
Life’s too short for worry
Salvation was at a truck stop
Behind the wheel of a bulldog Mack
She took a ride
To the other side
Now she’s never coming back
Life’s too short for worry
She know which way the wind blows
She know the phases of the moon
But its Devil beware
When the wind’s in her hair
She’s singing her own tune
Oh you know she’s looking for Jesus
Thumb and legs in the air
It’s a serpentine route
But there’s no doubt
One day she’s going to get there
Life’s too short for worry
There’s no caution in the wind
Blow through the years
The pain the tears
As if Jesus needs a friend
Oh she’ll take whatever you give her
Be it weed, whiskey or wine
Her faith’s renewed
When her mind is askew
She sees better when she’s blind
She’s going to meet her maker
No worries along the way
She blow she go
You don’t want to know
The price she’s gonna pay
Life’s too short for worry
Salvation was at a truck stop
Behind the wheel of a bulldog Mack
She took a ride
To the other side
Now she’s never coming back
Life’s too short for worry
Blacky
I met Blacky in a bar just out of Laredo
He said I’ll tell you my story if you buy me a round
So I ordered two glasses and a fifth of his Old Crow
Sat back to listen to his life comin’ down
He said the Old Crow, the black bird of the devil’s golden water
Done spread out its ragged wing and dropped down on me
If it ain’t the whiskey that kills me would you please tell Loretta
She always swore it would be the death of me
Well she may be right you know ‘cause I may be gone
The way that I’m feeling I ain’t gonna last very long
So take these last words as scattered as they seem
And carve them in a big rock by a slow moving stream
Here’s to the sinners the children of fait
Here is to changes before it’s too late
May the wind blow my ashes to higher ground
Here’s to a better hand on the next deal around
He said Mama she drank every chance she could
She swore my old man was just no damn good
You see I followed the footsteps down the only path I knew
And they led me to drown in the devil’s golden brew
So when the whisky finally kills me just gather some tires
Let Goodyear sponsor my funeral pyre
There’ll be black smoke in heaven no gates golden or pearly
Just the color of that old bird that took me home early
Instrumental
Then he reached for the glass and threw the last drop down
He got up just laughing and dancing around
I’ll say a prayer for you rounders who’s still sucking that bottle
Spinning on the go juice wide open on the throttle
I paid the bartender and strolled to the door
Looked back a Blacky scooting sawdust on the floor
He reached for the bottle said with a wink and a grin
Here’s to setting that old bird in flight once again
Here’s to the sinners the children of fait
Here is to changes before it’s too late
May the wind blow my ashes to higher ground
Here’s to a better hand on the next deal around
I met Blacky in a bar just out of Laredo

It Ain’t Like That
I said I want to love you babe
Till the sun starts to rise
She said it ain’t like that
I just want to look in your eyes
I said I appreciate your sentiment
And your poetic tone
But babe you gotta give me something
I mean throw the dog a bone
She said babe it ain’t like that
I don’t need your touch
You know I’m not even sure
I like you all that much
But I love your eyes
Oh yeah I love your eyes
Come here and look at me
I said what’s in my peepers
That makes you want to stare
She said your deep ocean blues
Reflects me in there
And the way that they twinkle
When I make you swoon
Man I sparkle like a diamond
In a bright harvest moon
I said babe but I love you
I thought you loved me too
She said I love the way you love me
It makes me shine like I do
But I got nothing for you
You see it’s better this way
The less you have the more you want
And I look better every day
I said babe it’s not like that
If you don’t need my touch
I’ll gouge my eyes out
Then we’ll see how much
You love my eyes
You love my eyes
Don’t look at me
She said well maybe you know
We could cut a deal
I keep on staring
And sometimes you can cop a feel
I said babe you crazy
Plum out of your mind
All this time of looking
I didn’t know that I was blind
I said it ain’t like that
If you don’t need my love
I’ll take my eyes on down the road
And find someone who does
Love my eyes
Love me too
Love my eyes
But not like you do
I said I want to love you babe
Till the sun starts to rise
She said it ain’t like that
I just want to look in your eyes
I said I appreciate your sentiment
And your poetic tone
But babe you gotta give me something
I mean throw the dog a bone
She said babe it ain’t like that
I don’t need your touch
You know I’m not even sure
I like you all that much
But I love your eyes
Oh yeah I love your eyes
Come here and look at me
I said what’s in my peepers
That makes you want to stare
She said your deep ocean blues
Reflects me in there
And the way that they twinkle
When I make you swoon
Man I sparkle like a diamond
In a bright harvest moon
I said babe but I love you
I thought you loved me too
She said I love the way you love me
It makes me shine like I do
But I got nothing for you
You see it’s better this way
The less you have the more you want
And I look better every day
I said babe it’s not like that
If you don’t need my touch
I’ll gouge my eyes out
Then we’ll see how much
You love my eyes
You love my eyes
Don’t look at me

And sometimes you can cop a feel

Plum out of your mind
All this time of looking
I didn’t know that I was blind
I said it ain’t like that
If you don’t need my love
I’ll take my eyes on down the road
And find someone who does
Love my eyes
Love me too
Love my eyes
But not like you do
When She Left Him
She couldn’t know when she left him
The smile that cracked his face
Was equal to all the passion
Of a sonnet’s embrace
He couldn’t know when she left him
Her high octane heart ran so deep
She ran on pure raw emotion she needed words
She needed touch more than sleep
She needs love, love, love, love, love
She needs love, love, love every day
Just a kind warm heart
And he’s okay
She couldn’t know that he loved her
More than the air that he breathed
He couldn’t know how to stop her
So he just watched her leave
She needs love, love, love, love, love
She needs love, love, love all the time
Just a kind warm heart
And he’s just fine
The years passed over the valley
The cabin sinks to the ground
The garden turned back to pasture
And his heart beats without a sound
She needs love, love, love, love, love
She needs love, love, love every day
Just a kind warm heart
And he’s okay
He needs a kind warm heart
To be okay
She couldn’t know when she left him
The smile that cracked his face
Was equal to all the passion
Of a sonnet’s embrace
He couldn’t know when she left him
Her high octane heart ran so deep
She ran on pure raw emotion she needed words
She needed touch more than sleep
She needs love, love, love, love, love
She needs love, love, love every day
Just a kind warm heart
And he’s okay
She couldn’t know that he loved her
More than the air that he breathed
He couldn’t know how to stop her
So he just watched her leave
She needs love, love, love, love, love
She needs love, love, love all the time
Just a kind warm heart
And he’s just fine
The years passed over the valley
The cabin sinks to the ground
The garden turned back to pasture
And his heart beats without a sound
She needs love, love, love, love, love
She needs love, love, love every day
Just a kind warm heart
And he’s okay
He needs a kind warm heart
To be okay
Her Kind of Woman
Carlos found Angel in the window
Of a drive-through hamburger stand
Her blue eyes sparkled like the diamond
There in her wedding band
He turned on the charm with his big smile
Over helpings of burgers and fries
Till she gave in to his proposals
His laughter and all those sweet lies
She fell for him like a boxer
At the end of a swinging glove
He took her for a ride in the country
She took him for her true love
Angel told Johnny it's all over
Threw the ring in his dirty work clothes
She ran out as he stood watching
As into the sun they drove, drove
It was like she took a knife and just carved in his heart
I don't love you, you don't understand
Just how my kind of woman
Has no use for your kind of man
Then something clicked deep within her
As the moment began to swell
They drove towards the sun but the damage was done
She’d cut something inside her as well
Carlos drove to a motel
In the next town heading out west
They spent two days fully entangled
In that roach infested love nest
Angel she thought she'd found heaven
But Carlos was in for the ride
He played her soft like a guitar
And oh, how sweetly she cried
On the third day she stepped from the shower
Overheard him on the phone
He said honey I love you, I miss you
One more day on this job I'll be home
She stood dripping wet in the doorway
As Carlos took center stage
He turned on his best performance
Then Angel turned into a rage, rage
She took a knife and just carved in his heart
I don't love you, you don't understand
Just how my kind of woman
Has no use for your kind of man
Then something clicked deep within her
As the moment began to swell
She drove towards the sun but the damage was done
She’d cut something inside her as well
As the sun sank down, she kept driving
To the west was all she could say
Her blue eyes no longer sparkled
And still don't to this day
Carlos lay bleeding in a dingy motel
His laughter no longer commands
He learned that her kind of woman
Has no use for his kind of man
Carlos found Angel in the window
Of a drive-through hamburger stand
Her blue eyes sparkled like the diamond
There in her wedding band
He turned on the charm with his big smile
Over helpings of burgers and fries
Till she gave in to his proposals
His laughter and all those sweet lies
She fell for him like a boxer
At the end of a swinging glove
He took her for a ride in the country
She took him for her true love
Angel told Johnny it's all over
Threw the ring in his dirty work clothes
She ran out as he stood watching
As into the sun they drove, drove
It was like she took a knife and just carved in his heart
I don't love you, you don't understand
Just how my kind of woman
Has no use for your kind of man
Then something clicked deep within her

They drove towards the sun but the damage was done

Overheard him on the phone
He said honey I love you, I miss you
One more day on this job I'll be home
She stood dripping wet in the doorway
As Carlos took center stage
He turned on his best performance
Then Angel turned into a rage, rage
She took a knife and just carved in his heart
I don't love you, you don't understand
Just how my kind of woman
Has no use for your kind of man
Then something clicked deep within her
As the moment began to swell
She drove towards the sun but the damage was done
She’d cut something inside her as well
As the sun sank down, she kept driving
To the west was all she could say
Her blue eyes no longer sparkled
And still don't to this day
Carlos lay bleeding in a dingy motel
His laughter no longer commands
He learned that her kind of woman
Has no use for his kind of man
