Devil Bayou
Drilling & Miller
If you go down to the bayou, better not go alone
There’s trouble in the bayou, some things better left unknown
If you do down to the bayou, better not go alone
There’s trouble in the bayou, some things better left unknown
Gators, and traitors, and evil hoo-doo
Mighty bad mojo comin after you
In the bayou, devil bayou
If you go down to the bayou, you might hear the hidden drums
If you hear that thunder, something wicked this way comes
If you go down to devil bayou, you might hear the hidden drums
If you hear that thunder, something wicked this way comes
Gators, and traitors, and evil hoo-doo
Mighty bad mojo comin after you
In the bayou, devil bayou
People near the bayou, say it’s all conspiracy
They say they’ve never seen the swampfire, and there ain’t no poison tree
People near the bayou; it’s just conspiracy
They say they’ve never seen the swampfire, and there ain’t no poison tree
Gators and traitors and evil hoo-doo
Mighty bad mojo comin after you
In the bayou, devil bayou
Night Job
Dougan
Six AM alarm goes off, draggin out of bed
Start the coffee, wake the wife, get the children fed
Jump into the car and drop em’ off at school
By nine o’clock I’m at my desk and anything but cool
Cuz’ I’, working at a day job
Got no time for a night job
But I’m dyin’ in my day job
If I can’t rock’n’roll I swear I’m gonna lose my soul
Started playin’ guitar when I was 14
Fore too long I’m makin it on the music scene
Then re-spon-sa-bility slapped me in the face
Guitar went in the closet and I joined the rat race
Just about a year ago, said I’d had enough
Dusted the guitar off, practiced up my stuff
Found myself a band, we got a sound that’s really tight
Now we’re playing in the bars every Friday night
So I got myself a night job
Can’t afford to quit my day job
But I’m livin’ in my night job
Rock’n’roll has saved my soul and everything will be all right
One Small Onion
Blaney & Miller
I’ve got my Heineken and Jack and I’m feeling quite, quite good.
This tour is freakin’ jumpin’ like our boss man said it would.
There is nothing that we want for: our rockin’ dreams are coming true.
But let me tell you mister about one thing you should not do.
Don’t forget that one small onion.
If it’s not there then we don’t play your game.
Don’t forget that one small onion.
It may be small but we want it just the same.
Well the hotel bar is nice. I recommend you try the veal.
But there’s something missing mister, not hypothetical, but real.
We put it down in writing. Perhaps you missed that part.
But without this one request we won’t be practicing our art.
Don’t forget that one small onion.
If it’s not there then we don’t play your game.
Don’t forget that one small onion.
It may be small but we want it just the same.
Don’t think we’re prima donnas. We’re really not like that.
Our requirements are simple. Now, where’s that onion at?
Have you ever really wanted something small to make your day?
Now come up with some produce, mister, if you want to hear us play.
Don’t forget that one small onion.
If it’s not there then we don’t play your game.
Don’t forget that one small onion.
It may be small but we want it just the same.
Darlin' Don't Pull That Trigger
Miller
You know I’ve always loved you, you’re my woman my one desire
Believe me I can explain this scene, now darling just don’t you fire
Darlin’ don’t pull that trigger, hand that gun to me
Yes I sure will explain that scene just had that gun to me
I know I didn’t come home last night, just listen and let me be frank
I was just out playin cards with the boys, you can ask Billy, Jim-Bob and Hank,
Darling don’t pull that trigger, hand that gun to me
Yes I sure will explain this scene, just hand that gun to me
Now just cause her legs are around my waist is no reason to get upset
Just let me pull my pants up and I’ll explain this better yet
Now I was holdin’ aces and eights, the stakes were getting pretty high
When Jim-Bob said he’d bet his new bride his hand was better than mine
Well you can tell that I won that hand, though the game was not quite through
For when the game was over, Jim-Bob had won you.
Darling don’t pull that trigger, hand that gun to me
Yes I sure can explain this scene just hand that gun to me
Darling don’t pull that trigger, hand that gun to me
Yes, I sure can explain this scene just hand that gun to me
Basement Demo Blues
Dougan
I’ve been down in the basement tryin' to do a demo for this song.
I’ve been down in the basement tryin' to do a demo for this song.
Just erased about half the tracks, nearly had a heart attack.
Looks like I'm gonna be here all night long.
Ever had a day when everything just went wrong?
Ever had a day when everything just went wrong?
Been having em' now for about five years. You know I shed a lot of tears,
But I'm certain my luck's gonna change before too long.
It's time for practice and the band's all playin' cards.
It's time for practice and the band's all playin' cards.
If they wanna lose money its fine with me But do it on your own time, Lordy be!
Cuz the band's gotta practice or we ain't gonna go too far.
Ever had a day when everything just went wrong?
Ever had a day when everything just went wrong?
Been having em' now for about five years. You know I shed a lot of tears,
But I'm certain my luck's gonna change before too long.
I'd drown my sorrows but I found all my whiskey's gone.
I'd drown my sorrows but I found all my whiskey's gone.
I could drive on down to a bar, but that gosh darn woman stole my car.
She took it when she left me, said bye bye and so long.
Ever had a day when everything just went wrong?
Ever had a day when everything just went wrong?
Been having em' now for about five years. You know I shed a lot of tears,
But I'm certain my luck's gonna change before too long.
Love Is All I Need
Drilling & Miller
On the road of life, don’t need a fast car
Don’t need to be a billionaire
Don’t need to live like a movie star
Or make my life compare
There are many dreams in this fine world
But Love is all I need
Don’t need to fly around the world
In some fancy private jet plane
Don’t need consulting on what to wear
Or drink the finest champagne
There are many dreams in this fine world
But Love is all I need
Don’t need all the pleasures that money can buy
Don’t need a guru for a guide
I don’t care if the market is high
As long as you’re here by my side
There are many dreams in this fine world
But Love is all I need
On the road of life, don’t’ need a fast car
Don’t need to be a billionaire
Don’t need to live like a movie star
Or make my life compare
There are many dreams in this fine world
But Love is all I need
Beer and Love
Blaney & Miller
Don’t want the money. Don’t want the gold.
Ain’t gonna chase it, just make me old.
Don’t want the heartache from playing that game.
My goals are different, let me tell you by name:
All I want is a beer and your love.
All I want is a beer and your love.
Don’t want your cookies. Don’t want your bread.
Don’t know the diff’rence ‘bout what who said.
Don’t want to clean up the kitchen anyway.
If you wonder what I want, here’s what I say:
All I want is a beer and your love.
All I want is a beer and your love.
Don’t want a headache. Get aspirin.
I can sing you a love song like Led Zeppelin.
Don’t need to talk about my day, now how ‘bout you?
Just want to get real with a little impromptu.
All I want is a beer and your love.
All I want is a beer and your love.
Howl
Miller
Everybody’s got their troubles, lots of worries indeed
Well I got everything all you good girls ever will need
You’re such a pretty woman, I know you’ll understand
We can lay it down easy, I’ll be your back door man
Dogs may bark and cats will growl
We gonna rock this place til the wolf begin to howl
You're such a good lookin woman, as sweet as sweet candy
You know you feel much better when you do a little shake for me
You’re hot like red pepper, with lips like cherry wine
You go and I’ll come with you, we’ll make it oh so fine
Dogs may bark and cats will growl
We gonna rock this place til the wolf begin to howl
I like my coffee in the mornin', you can have your tea
I’ve seen things in this life, kings and queens will never see
Everybody’s in the mood now, everybody's in the groove
Your such a pretty birdy when you make your tail feathers move
Dogs may bark and cats will growl
We gonna rock this place til the wolf begin to howl
Tundra!
Blaney
Snow’s blowin’ in. It scatters yet it clings
To the paths of our lives; the kind that destiny brings.
You go outside and feel that plain swept by.
It reminds us that we’re frail despite our industrial might.
The tundra blows cold. The tundra blows hot.
One day you’re secure; next day you’re not.
Back in the show-me state I always felt
God let his rage fall down until I knealt
In prayer ‘till the sky of green would soon subside.
Back here on the tundra those winds again reside.
The tundra blows cold. The tundra blows hot.
One day you’re secure; next day you’re not.
Long drive to Chicago, long drive to St. Lou…
Back here on the tundra, there are a chosen few
Whose wisdom is refined and the courage tempered still
By a highway of contentment and a lack of steely will.
The tundra blows cold. The tundra blows hot.
One day you’re secure; next day you’re not.
Sweet Temptation
Blaney & Miller
Her laughter's in the air, it follows me around
No matter where I go, she knows where I'll be found
Thought I left her once, I told her 12 times "no"
Now I've nowhere left to turn, sweet temptation let me go.
I said no more, Tempt me no more
I said no more, Tempt me no more
Stepped into a roadhouse, smell of diesel in the air
Thought sweet temptation would never find me there
I walked up to the barmaid, she gave a little wink
She said how you doin' stranger? Can the house buy you a drink?
I said no more, Tempt me no more
I said no more, Tempt me no more
Ran into some old friends, hadn't seen 'em for a while
Smelt the fine bouquet, recalled the Chinese smile
They passed the thing around until she came to me
I'm not another chimp, sweet temptation set me free.
I said no more, Tempt me no more
I said no more, Tempt me no more
Bought a new guitar, can't put the damn thing down
Just stoking up the flames 'til reason comes around
Turn it up to ten, six just won't quench this thirst
Of all her tempting habits, why should music be the worst?
I said no more, Tempt me no more
I said no more, Tempt me no more
Eleven Dimensions
Miller
I’m just searching for some understanding
Looking for heaven can be so demanding
Are we passing through some big illusion?
A universe of atomic conclusions
I’m just searching for some understanding
Love, anger, hate not new inventions
Are we living in eleven dimensions?
Some scientists say it’s like a toast with jelly
I’m sure it would be news to Machiavelli
Can you tell me what’s the explanation?
Can vibrations in the air create the next sensation?
I’m just searching for some understanding
Love, anger, hate not new inventions
Are we living in eleven dimensions?
What do you think happens when branes collide?
Do some get taken to the far side?
Super-symmetry’s like a wall of mirrors
Does this illusion of reality get much clearer?
We all have doubts and apprehensions
What do I have to do to get your attention?
Are we living in eleven dimensions?
I’m just searching for some understanding
Love, anger, hate not new inventions
Are we living in eleven dimensions?
Born Blue
Dougan & Miller
There you sit with that look in your eyes
Trying so hard not to break down and cry
You don't want to go you don't want to stay
But take by advice girl and leave here today
Cuz' I'm born blue
Born blue
And I'm no good for you
We had some good times we had some kicks
But I knew from the start, It would end up like this
You say that you love me I know that its true
But I tell you girl, our loves good as through
Cuz' I'm born blue
Born blue
And I'm no good for you
I know you thought you could heal me
And I have to admit you sometimes made me smile
But if you stick around you're gonna feel like I do
With a thirst for love in a world gone dry
Turn around girl walk cross the floor
Put out your hand, open up that door
Don't look back you know you can't stay
But remember I love you, in my own way
Cuz' I'm born blue
Born blue
And I'm no good for you
