~Favorite Southern Rock Song~





FreeBird-Lynyrd Skynyrd-Lyrics Included

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now
There's too many places I've got to see

If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Oh, and this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Bye-bye babe, it's been sweet, love
'Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take this so badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

But if I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

Oh, and this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
Lord help me I can't change

Oh no, I can't change

Marshall Tucker Band Can't You See

I'm gonna take a freight train, down at the station

I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb me a mountain, the highest mountain, Lord,
Gonna jump off, nobody gonna know
Can't you see, can't you see, what that woman, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see, what that woman been doin' to me
I'm gonna find me a hole in the wall, gona crawl inside and die
That lady, mean ol' woman Lord, done told me goodbye
Can't you see, can't you see, what that woman she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see, what that woman been doin' to me

Gonna buy me a ticket now, as far as I can, ain't never comin' back
Take me Southbound, all the way to Georgia now, till the train run out of track
Can't you see, can't you see, what that woman, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see, what that woman been doin' to me

Molly Hatchet- Bounty Hunter

My horse is kicking dust up off the trail,
I'm just getting back from a trip to HELL.
My six gun she's stapped by my side,
Thunder is the horse that I ride.
And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.

Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose.
Running, running from the noose.

Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying,
I wonder what they feel like when they're dying.
Someday soon it might be my turn,
Is it worth the money I earn?

And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.


Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose,
Running, running from the noose.
I'm a bounty hunter, I'll hunt you down, yeah, I will.

LEAD BREAK

Did you know $500 will get your head blown off?
It will....ha, ha, ha

Blue steel flashing, hot lead flying,
I wonder what they fell like when they're dying.
Someday soon it might be my turn,
Is it worth the money I earn?

And it seems to me this is one hell of a way,
For a man like me to earn that pay.

Chorus:
Outlaws on the loose,
Running, running from the noose,
(REPEAT),
I'm a bounty hunter going to hunt you down.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the southland
I miss alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister young sing about her
Well, I heard ole neil put her down
Well, I hope neil young will remember
A southern man dont need him around anyhow

Sweet home alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home alabama
Lord, Im coming home to you

In birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home alabama
Lord, Im coming home to you
Here I come alabama

Now muscle shoals has got the swampers
And theyve been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when Im feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home alabama
Lord, Im coming home to you

Sweet home alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governors true
Sweet home alabama
Lordy
Lord, Im coming home to you
Yea, yea montgomerys got the answer

Looking Out My Back Door - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing,

CHORUS:

Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.
There's a giant doing cartwheels,
A statue wearing high heels.
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
A dinosaur Victrola listening to Buck Owens.

CHORUS

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?

Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.

CHORUS

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

CHORUS

Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn.
Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows.

GEORGE THOROGOOD "Bad To The Bone"

On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round

And they gazed in wide wonder, at the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up, and she said leave this one alone
She could tell right away, that I was bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts, before I met you
I'll break a thousand more baby, before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad

Bad to the bone

I make a rich woman beg, I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush, and make a young woman squeal
I wanna be yours pretty baby, yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey, that I'm bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad

Bad to the bone

Green Grass and High Tides

In a place you only dream of
Where your soul is always free
Silver stages, golden curtains
Filled my head, plain as can be

As a rainbow grew round the sun
All the stars I've love who died
Came from somewhere beyond the scene you see
These lovely people played just for me
Now if I let you see this place
Where stories all ring true
Will you let me past your face
To see what's really you
It's not for me I ask these questions

As though I were a king
For you have to love, believe and feel
Before the burst of tamborines take you there

(chorus)
Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone souls and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you

Those who don't believe me
Find your souls and set them free
Those who do, believe and love
As time will be your key
Time and time again I've thanked them
For a piece of mind
They helped me find myself
Amongst the music and the rhyme

That enchants you there

Here is a clip of Jimmy Nalls who played on Greg Allmans Laid Back album with my son doing Please Call Home. Jimmy even though suffering from parkinsons is still a great guitar player.

((HUGS))Well, congradulations on getting #300.((LOL))

We ate some food from Sonic for supper. took Bo out to the lake. Had lots of fun out there. Not much else going on. Getting ready for OU and OSU footbal this weekend.

How are things in your neck of the woods?:-D

[Arrowhead1952]

Only 79º now, but headed for mid 90sa again.

George Thorogood is from Wilmington — his band was originally called the Delaware Destroyers. I’m afraid we’re going to need a judge’s ruling on including him.

After 38 years in Georgia, I’ve heard about as much Skynyrd as I need to in one lifetime, but you really can’t go wrong with the Allman Brothers.

[beachn4fun]

LOL

[Allegra]

I am now officially worried about you.

LOL - I'm just trying to put a good spin on it. ;-)

It's really awful outside!

[Allegra]

Only 79º now, but headed for mid 90s again.

August in Texas. Ahhhh, yes.

We surpassed the 90s at about ten o'clock this morning and headed right into those triple digits.

Our lows at night are around 90.

[Arrowhead1952]

This has been a wild summer. A lot of hot days early and cooler and wetter August than normal.

Here is an FR thread with the you tube link to a new McCain ad below. This one hurts.

We’re taking the profits and using them to fund local Republican candidates.

[wtc911]

For years the Lone Star Cafe brought CW to NYC. I only got there a few times but it was always a good time. I was more of a jazz guy and in the seventies NYC was full of real jazz. Now you can’t get either here.

[Allegra]

Thanks! I'll watch it when I get back to my living quarters later. We can't get YouTube from work.

I've just finished a report and am "spot-FReeping" waiting for a meeting to begin.

I saw the ad that was on here last night, done to the tune of the Soviet national anthem. ;-)

Thirty Eight Special- Hold on Loosely.

[Arrowhead1952]

I saw the ad that was on here last night, done to the tune of the Soviet national anthem. ;-)

I'll have to look for that one again and send it in an email. We are officially on hurricane alert again. Looks like this will be a long holiday weekend, but not what I wanted. Oh well.

[Hatteras]

"A group of tunes I NEVER want to hear again"

A group of tunes I'd pop into my I-Pod right this minute (if I had an I-Pod and actually knew how to use one...)

1) Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd

2) Turn The Page - Bob Seger

3) Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin

There may have been a time when they were overplayed but I don't mind at all when they come on now. Okay, well, you're right, Freebird is still a little tired. ;-)

But, I'll still listen to Seger and Zepplin anytime I get the chance.

[Allegra]

We are officially on hurricane alert again. Looks like this will be a long holiday weekend, but not what I wanted. Oh well.

Have they changed the projection? Last I heard, New Orleans was the target.

Anyway, stay safe and take care. I pray all will be well for everyone on the Gulf.

[beachn4fun]

LOL

I felt the same way before I got my iPod. There’s still many things it can do that I don’t bother with but am learning slowly (like copy DVDs).

iPods are very easy to use, actually, as long as you have iTunes and someone to ask questions when you get stumped.
