Dixie Girl, the way she smiles
Dixie Girl, make me walk miles
She got ruby red long hair
Strutting like she just don’t care
She can turn my stone to pearl
You know she’s my Dixie girl
Dixie Girl, she’s Dixie girl
Dixie Girl, you know my Dixie girl
Walking round with style to burn
Dixie Girl she makes me yearn
She got legs that make me smile
Gonna walk her down the aisle
Love the way those pig tails twirl
You know she’s my Dixie girl

Tennessee

Beale St always pumping,
pushing out the blues
You can walk in snake skin or in some Blue Swede shoes
Soaking in the nightlife,
music all the time
Johnny said it right now, well
“You can walk the line”
Take me home, (take me home), Take me home Tennessee
Take me home, (take me home), Take me home Tennessee
Aretha, Jerry, Otis, BB and Big O
All of them called Memphis home, putting on a show
Now Sam and Dave and Booker T, and others but here’s the thing
Memphis gave us Elvis and Elvis
he’s the king!
Take me home, (take me home), Take me home Tennessee
Take me home, (take me home), Take me home Tennessee
Take me home, (take me home), Take me home Tennessee
Take me home, (take me home), Take me home Tennessee

Blacktop’s calling, white line fever, time to move, best be on my way
Just a traveller, no time wasting, calls to settle, I just can’t stay
The wind behind me, sunrise ahead, got my whiskey, packed up my bed
(Lonely Traveller), (Lonely Traveller), make my way town to town
(Lonely Traveller), (always seeking), I’m homeward bound
Restless leaning, always leaving,
time to make my way.
Nights get lonely, yeah their cold
and their stoney, got no time to play
(Optional Live version)
Days are endless, must keep moving, that’s just life for me
Just keep going, never slowing,
I got the road, I’m free
Got my bags all packed, (lonely traveller) (x3)
Got my bags all packed

Hey man ya got some spare coin?, you got a spare cigarette?
Hey man ya got a spare dime?,

Help me brother, I can’t pay the rent
Hey man can’t you help me,

Battle
04:53
|

There’s thunder and there’s crashing, blood on the field.
Soldiers are falling, no one will yield.
To each side it’s proper, for each to be free.
But nobody’s listening, to the dying man’s plea.
There’ll be no winners or losers, no innocence.
The fight will be endless, cause there’s no defence.
Mother’s losing their children, families tearing apart.
Life’s taken a bullet, straight through the heart.
And the battle goes on
And the battle goes on
In the end there’ll be carnage, there’ll be nothing to save.
While the people are fighting, while the people are brave.
But it’s not worth the effect, gotta put down that gun.
Cause the battle is over, before it’s begun.
And the battle goes on
And the battle goes on
And the battle goes on
And the battle goes on

Devil Or The Gun
04:50
|
|||
Troubles haunting me,
kick and clawing me
Got a choice to make today.
Trip me up it’s easy,
take my head and squeeze me
Take the sun and make it grey.
Law is always chasing,
seems that I’m misplacing
What’s this feeling, in my head.
Got no settle in me,
just the hope that I’ll be
Pulling off the road ahead.
Got no chance of running,
he can see you coming
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
devil or the gun
Gotta fight for something,
or it’s all for nothing
It’s the devil or the gun
Cops and Robbers story,
life in all its glory
Don’t believe it, there’s no fun.
At the cross road ready,
it ain’t gonna be pretty
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
Got no chance of running,
he can see you coming
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
devil or the gun
Gotta fight for something,
or it’s all for nothing
It’s the devil or the gun
Got no chance of running,
he can see you coming
Cause it’s the devil or the gun
devil or the gun
Gotta fight for something,
or it’s all for nothing
It’s the devil or the gun

Well I been stuck here,
moving nowhere
with no off road, I can see
As I roll down, Misery Road
Yeah I’m stuck on, Misery Road
You done left me, sore and bleeding
Down on my knees, left me pleading
As I roll down, Misery Road

Tore my heart out,

Wipe my tears down with your heal
As I roll down, Misery Road
Yeah I’m stuck on, Misery Road
You done left me, left me screaming
You done left me, I was bleeding
Til you come back baby,
Misery Road

Walk The Line
06:40
|

Maybe I’m dreaming,
or maybe I’m drunk
Maybe they’re diamonds
or maybe they’re junk
Looking to back out,
there just ain’t no way
Come to the Ball boy,
your welcome to stay
Walk the line (yeah yeah),
or your doing time (yeah yeah)
(Walk the line)
I said, Walk the line (yeah yeah),
or your doing time (yeah yeah)
(Walk the line)
Put on your brave face,
showing no fear
Ain’t drinking no Whiskey,
I ain’t drinking no beer
You’re paying the piper,
you pay for your sins
You got you some trouble,
the mess that you’re in
Into the station, into the zoo
The parties all over,
the parties all through
Asleep in a cold cell,
life looking so bleak
Time to sober up, until next week.
(Walk the line), or your doing time
(walk the line), walk the line
Said, Walk the line (yeah yeah),
or your doing time
.....walk..... the..... lineeeeeeeeee
