1 — Big Boy

Big Boy, you know he’s back in town.
He’s just looking, he’s looking to be found
There’s no running from him, God knows I tried
He comes on like a wrecking machine
You know he’s that kind of guy.

It ain’t over just yet
He ain’t losing no bet

Big Boy, you know he’s back in town
He’s just looking, he’s looking to be found

I know it’s always never again
Come on your not gonna to die
Just step right into my galaxy
We’re gonna go for a ride

It ain’t over just yet
He ain’t losing no bet

And when he talks to you, so sweet and low
He whispers in your ear secrets only dead men know
All those secrets only dead men know

What about me, what about me
Hey take me big boy

2 — Sidebuster

Hey sidebuster, that’s what the name means
You know you’re a real sidebuster walking long and lean
Ain’t no Delta juice going to cross your lips tonight
Your might is right and your right is might
But your language get’s so tight.

Your going boom, boom, boom as you talk to me
Your going boom, boom, boom

When the party’s over, that’s when the dream begins
No time for the sipping boys and there ain’t no love within
I’m pulling out and slipping skin
Oh, Baby let it begin

Driving sideways on a dead end street is good enough for you
Living hard in lonely town
Don’t give you the blues
Reaching out, well that’s not your way
Cause there ain’t no tears that’s left
Now I know you’ve gone beyond and certified this mess

Your going boom, boom, boom as you talk to me
Your going boom, boom, boom

When the party’s over, that’s when the dream begins
No time for the sipping boys and there ain’t no love within
I’m pulling out and slipping skin
Oh, Baby let it begin

Hey sidebuster, that’s what the name means
You know you’re a real sidebuster walking long and lean
Ain’t no Delta juice going to cross your lips tonight
Your might is right and your right is might
But your language get’s so tight.

Your going boom, boom, boom as you talk to me
Your going boom, boom, boom

When the party’s over, that’s when the dream begins
When the party’s over, that’s when the dream begins
Come on and dream with me, dream Baby dream
Come on and dream with me, dream Baby dream

3 — Diggin' It

Sometime is it the right line
Or is it just soul time
Diggin’ it good
Are you diggin’ it

Tell me why it’s got to be me
It’s so real to me
Diggin’ it good
Are you diggin’ it
Are you diggin’ it good

Mainstream you ain’t in my dream
Your such a slow scream
Diggin’ it good
Are you diggin’ it
Are you diggin’ it good
Are you diggin’ it

I can’t dance like Sammy would
I can’t dance, this ain’t Hollywood
Grooving free cause you’re the man
Bummer road will get ya stoned
Get ya stoned

Bring it on, bring it on home to me
Sonny Boy’s saying to me
Are diggin’ it good
Are you diggin’ it
Are diggin’ it good
Are you diggin’ it
Are diggin’ it good
Are you diggin’ it

I found out what my Baby likes
Just a whole lot of loving and just treating her right

Are you diggin’ it 
Are you diggin’ it good
Tell me, are you diggin’ it, are you diggin’ it good
Tell me, are you diggin’ it, are you diggin’ it good

4 — Endless

Jump back the horse ain’t coming
Sending me out and giving me nothing
Taken all the hits from you
I’m washing it out one thing is true
Standing on the edge again
The past, the past, the ends the end
It’s such a long, long time yes to be denied
It’s such a long, long time yes to be denied 

Breaking down a starless night
Walking it off, don’t make it right, shake ‘em on down
Skeletons at the feast, they know the most
But they eat the lease, shake ‘em on down
Chalking time in your mind
You keep throwing me a bone that I’ll never find, shake ‘em on down
Running down you get so tired
Living your life in wasted desire, shake ‘em on down 

Such a long, long time yes to be denied
It’s such a long, long time yes to be denied 
It’s an endless situation well that I got me in
Oh faithless lover, well don’t you walk with him
Well don’t you walk with him 

It’s such a long, long time yes to be denied
It’s an endless situation well that I got me in

5 — Night Must Fall

It’s just like Jimmy Reed said, “Oh the bright lights are going to your head”
And this thing it ain’t no big mystery
The brightest light always burns out first

You know I would never change a thing
Because it would only make you blue

I still know the heartache to make the price
It’s always there and shall remain
When it feels like yesterday
Then I know you’re a dream away

You know I would never change a thing
Because it would only make you blue

Even now when I remember you
Getting harder to forget
We were stretched out like a wire
Now I know that the night must fall

You know I would never change a thing
Because it would only make you blue

Bright lights, big city
So the night, so the night must fall

Bright lights, big city
So the night, so the night must fall

6 — Laying Low

Laying low never mattered
Laying low never cared
Get’s so symptomatic and I don’t care
I don’t care

You’re all after the same thing
Here I sit and wonder why
You’re just a botheration on my mnd
On my mind, on my mind

All this time is such a strange thing
Moving faster every day
Even if I don’t remember, I won’t obey.

Laying low never mattered
Laying low never cared
Get’s so symptomatic and I don’t care
I don’t care

What you want, what you need
Is it love?
Oh Baby please, Let’s go

7 — Where We Belong

Come on in here
I said now come on in here
Walk with me now in deep surrender
If only for a while

And when we get where we belong
We’ll find a place where no right is wrong

Come on in here
I said now come on in here
Forgiveness is in your heart
You say freedom is on the outside

And when we get where we belong
We’ll find a place where no right is wrong

Come on in here
I said now come on in here

Nothing seems to matter anymore
Oh where can my believer’s, believer’s be
And all my brothers have left this life I know
Who will be standing here with me
Standing here with me, standing here, standing here
Come on in here
I said yeah come on in here
When all around is a hateful sight
You know you don’t give up and will win no fight

And when we get where we belong
We’ll find a place where no right is wrong
I said come on in here, hey now, come on in here

Come on, come on, come on now
Come on, come on, come on now
And when we get where we belong
We want to get away now
We got to find a way how
We want to get where we belong

8 — A Few Dollars More

These images of evil
Sometimes don’t look the same
The reasons or the purpose get twisted in this game
Innocence is murdered, nothing left to say
How would you answer for the things you’ve done today
This pain has no forgiveness
Well no matter how yu try
In justice if you’re not caught
Well there ain’t no sins to hide

Few dollars more, yeah all can be forgiven
Few dollars more you could have redemption
But your soul will burn

When I looked into your eyes
A lie is what  I saw
A holy redeemer who plays angles with the law
You move your dark pieces
Oh so far from where it starts
A soul for soul betrayal
It’s a knife right through the heart
The question I keep asking
Why you won’t recite the names

Few dollars more, yeah all can be forgiven
Red dollars more you could have redemption
But your soul will burn
Yeah your soul will burn

9 — So Long

Where is the man, did he come, is he high
He said you are the one who told me I’m going to die
Who was the one who stole my ’88
You said you are the bug I am going to break

I been trying to get to you for so long
And if you ever thought I knew
You were so wrong

Crack through the turn
Is the way that you go
But I wouldn’t know it from toe to toe
Oh, oh how would I know
Oh, oh how would I know

I been trying to get to you for so long
And if you ever thought I knew
You were so wrong

Don’t wait for the things that ain’t going to come
Live in the moment and sleep with the sun
Learn what you do and hear what they say
You go by the laws, then that’s how you pay

I been trying to get to you for so long
And if you ever thought I knew
You were so wrong

I been trying, trying to get to you for so long
And if you ever thought I knew
You were so wrong
Baby, so long

10 — Strangeness

Don’t bring me forward Baby
You know I ain’t coming back
Don’t give me those sweet, sweet words
Your love is like a heart attack
I’m moaning in the midnight
Oh yeah when it feels tight
I fooled myself to please
This thing is like a slow disease

Don’t you feel the strangeness on me
I said don’t you feel the strangeness on me

You can take me if you want to try
Baby can you thrill me one more time
This ain’t history like you want it to be
A crowded house and a jubilee

Don’t you feel the strangeness on me
I said don’t you feel the strangeness on me

Coming to me with grave yard eyes
Talking to me like I am going to die
Can’t you see that it’s my chance
Now you know the dead can dance

Don’t you feel the strangeness on me
I said don’t you feel the strangeness on me
Don’t you feel the strangeness on me
I said don’t you, I said don’t you feel the strangeness on me

Walk it off
