Hold On To That Filly

Hold on that Filly
I had a little pony by the name of Despair
She had the prettiest mane and long straw colored hair
Just for a moment, we was quite the sight
Then that little filly bunched on up and took me for a ride
Her eyes were full of lightening and she bucked like a landmine
I just couldn't hold her steady so I sat back and bided my time
Gonna hold on to this filly til I make her mine
Gonna hold on to this filly to the end of the line
Gonna hold on to this filly to the end of the line
Gonna hold on to this filly to the end of the line
Gonna hold on to this filly til I make her mine
Like a bat out of hell she took off into the brush
I've dealt with fillies before but this one might be too much
If I'm not careful this ride could be my last
I never knew a pretty little horse could run so fast
Gonna hold on to that filly to the end of the line
Gonna hold on to that filly to the end of the line
Gonna hold on to that filly to the end of the line
Gonna hold on to that filly til I make her mine

Haul Your Heavy Load
Well I don't know where it began
but I just hit my second wind
Don't know where I'm going
but I'm going out in style
Life is hard and lasts awhile
and I've been tired since I's a child
Highway it gets blacker every mile that I go
The mile markers passing like the years are everlasting
The choices that you make sit like wreckage on the road
So keep on shifting gears and you'll make it through the years
You gotta take that wheel boy and haul your heavy load
You see me can I see you
A wiseman from the tribe of Sioux
Said I lost my shadow
somewhere along this road
Well Snyder said boy saddle up
Find the water, fill your cup
Don't travel this old road of mine
There's a better path for you
The mile markers passing like the years are everlasting
The choices that you make sit like wreckage on the road
So keep on shifting gears and you'll make it through the years
You gotta take that wheel boy and haul your heavy load
So I pushed the gas as the miles passed
This desert has to end
Well winter's done and spring has come
And summer's round the bend
Every mile I think of you
and the hard times that you got me through
When my fuel gets low
I'll be seeing you again

Devil's On The Loose
Wake up in the morning with an achin' head
Last thing I remember I was seeing road
Well there just ain't no telling what evil thing I'll do
When I'm drinking that corn liquor the devil's on the loose
(The devil's on the loose)
Need to find me a good woman to stand right by my side
Well bright light nights and drinking make a lonesome heart like mine
Someday I'll quit my rambling and low down tramping ways
When I'm drinking that corn liquor better stay out of my way
(Better stay out of his way)
Walking through the graveyard see it written in the stones
Good bad and in between they rest their weary bone
I've sat and watched the bottle take a strong man to his grave
When that bottle gets its grip there's no getting away
(No getting away)
When you see me in the evening you don't need to ask
Know my eyes are pointed to the bottom of a glass
You can try and stop me but you know it ain't no use
When I'm drinking that corn liquor the devil's on the loose
(The devil's on the loose)

Long Gone With The Breeze
Well I'm not much for doing what I'm told
If I was a poker hand I think I'd up and fold
Well I sing all night and work all day
When I get home I spend my pay
Cause I'm a honky tonk man livin' his dream
Well some folks they search for fame and gold
All those fancy things won't every save your soul
I've been in this town for too damn long
and all you folks have heard my songs
I'm long gone with the breeze
With the breeze
That wanderlust will knock you to your knees
One of these days, and it won't be long
You'll look for me and I'll be gone
I'm long gone with the breeze
Well some folks they say that I'm no good
Cause I drive my loud old pick up truck
through the neighborhood
Well one of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me and I'll be gone
I'm driving this rusty old Chevy out of town
With the breeze
That wanderlust will knock you to your knees
One of these days, and it won't be long
You'll look for me and I'll be gone
I'm long gone with the breeze

Freight Train
It's been a long hard road
and my feet are aching
battered and bruised
hungry and tired
sitting in the train yard jungle, waiting
for a west bound to come rolling down the line
Freight train I can hear ya coming
Freight train rolling down the line
Freight train I can hear ya coming
Freight train don't claim my life
I don't care where I'm a going
Gonna let the towns pass me by
The stars are out and the moon is growing
And the knuckles clanking play a lullaby
The rain came down and the wind was blowing
As we came around the bend of a mountainside
Can't hardly move my bones are frozen
Maybe on this train I'm bound to die
If I die you can bury my body
way out on the countryside
In between two vast valleys
in the heart of the mountain is where my heart lies

Train Song No. 4
Hear that train coming down the track
Take me away I ain't coming back
Listen to that lonesome sound
As she rolls on through your town
Listen to that old whistle cry
Makin me so lonesome I want to die
When I die you can bury me
Down by the weeping willow tree
Lay me down by the railroad track
That's where my soul can be at ease
Well hear her rolling all through your town
Listen to that old lonesome sound
Well she hear she comes and she's gone again
With the wind

Swamp Stomp Boogie
I ran into some bad men year was 1865
Said, "Give us all your Yankee gold and get out of here alive."
They tied me up to a rusty crab track
They dropped me in the swamp and they never looked back
Now stomp
I do the swamp stomp boogie
I do the swamp stomp boogie
I do it all night long
I moved out to the bayou with the gators and the snakes
I tried my luck in town but the stakes were just too great
I got me a six gun and I moved out to the swamp
I'm firing up at the moon doing a hillbilly stomp
Now stomp
I do the swamp stomp boogie
I do the swamp stomp boogie
I do it all night long
When I was 18 I met the Voodoo Queen
She promised me everything that I'd ever dreamed
She tore out my heart and took my soul
She left me hear rocking in this deep dark hole

If I Were A Tweaker
If I were a tweaker my life would be much bleaker
Cause I'd always be awake to see the rain
My habit it got started when my dear old wife departed
So I started getting high to ease my pain
I've been awake for eight long days straight
And all my neighbors think that I'm a freak
But the truth is I'm a man who just doesn't understand
I gotta put down my pipe and go to sleep
My eyes are always bloodshot only photo is a mugshot
All my friends just like me for my speed
My jaw is always clicking and I walk round like a chicken
When I started out I still had all my teeth
I've been awake for eight long days straight
And all my neighbors think that I'm a freak
But the truth is I'm a man who just doesn't understand
I gotta put down my pipe and go to sleep
My life is almost over my kids they won't come over
Doctor says I got 3 months to live
Well my habit it got started when my dear old wife departed
Now I'm getting high cause I got nothing left to give

Runaway Train
Too much speed can't slow down
Own two feet can't find the ground
Brakes wore out a long time ago
No one's sure just where he's going
(Chorus)
He's a runaway train
100 miles an hour beating down the line
He's a runaway train
Taking the night in half the time
So much smoke is blowing out his ears
Anger is the coal that grinds the gears
Huffing and puffing right into town
Chugging along and gonna tear it down
(Chorus)
The train flew through a couple hundred towns
Red hot steel driving in the ground
People all talked how could it be
That a train can keep going on so much speed
(Chorus)
Sleepless nights, nothing to eat
Runaway train still on his feet
Brakes wore out a long time
No one's just where he's going
