LYRICS

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Ain't gone 'n' give up on love
Blues at sunrise
Boot hill
Change it
Close to you
Cold shot
Come on (part iii)
Couldn't stand the weather
Crossfire
Dirty pool
Empty arms
Give me back my wig
Honey bee


I'm cryin'
I'm leaving you (commit a crime)
Leave my girl alone
Life by the drop
Life without you
Little wing
Look at little sister
Lookin' out the window
Love me darlin'
Love struck baby
Mary had a little lamb
May i have a talk with you
Pride and joy


Scratch - n - sniff
Superstition
Tell me
Texas flood
The house is rockin'
The sky is crying
The things (that) i used to do
Tightrope
Tin pan alley
Voodoo chile (slight return)
Wall of denial
Willie the wimp
You'll be mine


Ain't gone 'n' give up on love

I ain't gone 'n' give up on love....Love won't give up on me
I ain't gone 'n' give up on love....Love ain't gone 'n' give up on me
Every tear that I've cried....Only washed away the fear inside
Now I, I ain't gone 'n' give up on love

Every beat of my heart....Pounds with joy and not with pain
Every beat of my heart....Pounds with joy and not in vain
And although those are painful memories....Only brought me to my knees
I was just given up on love

Little Johnny Taylor told us so long ago
What about the midnight cryin'....Wo that cheatin' and lyin'
What about the price that will....Oh surely be paid
Those that gave up on love....Love will have it's day
I ain't givin' up on love

I ain't gone 'n' give up on love....Love won't give up on me
I ain't gone 'n' give up on love....Love won't give up on me
Every time I cry....Love just won't let me be....Won't set me free

Blues at sunrise

The sun rises in the east lover, it sets deeply in the west
The sun rises in the east lover, it sets deeply in the west
I've been looking for my lover, and I haven't found her yet

I'm gonna call up China and see if my baby's over there
I'm gonna call up China and see if my baby's over there
You know I looked the whole world over, I can't find my lover nowhere

She won't write me no letters, won't even call me on the telephone
She won't write me no letters, won't even call me on the telephone
You know I haven't had no real good lovin' since that gal of mine been gone

Someday baby, you're gonna want me like I want you
Someday baby, you're gonna want me like I want you
But when I call you on the phone darlin', I'll say I have nothing for you to do

Boot hill

Look up on the wall baby....Hand me down my shootin' iron
Look up on the wall baby....Hand me down my shootin' iron
Call your mother long distance....Tell her to expect your body home

If the city don't bury you baby....Lord knows the county will
If the city don't bury you baby....Lord knows the county will
You made your last mistake....You going way out on that boot hill

Lord I don't want to wax you darlin'....'Cause you gave me my first thrill
Lord I don't want to wax you baby....'Cause you gave me my first thrill
You did me so wrong....You're going way out on that boot hill

Change it

You can't change it....Can't re-arrange it
If time is all that we got....Then baby let's take it

Lovin' is a lovin'....The moment is a-right
It's worth all the years in the past....Let's go one more night

Get away from the blind side of life
Honey I want you to be by my side
Me and my back door moves ain't no more....No more

Get away from the blind side of life
Honey I want you to be by my side
Me and my back door moves ain't no more....No more

Get away from the blind side of life
Honey I want you to be by my side
Me and my back door moves ain't no more....No more

Goodnight my darlin'....Another day has passed
Forget all those painful memories....Our love's gonna last

Come to me baby....Come to me one more time
It's time we got movin'....Time to move on
Let's slide out the door....Let's slide out the door
Ride our way home....Let's glide our way home

Let's go....Let's go....Let's go....Let's go
Let's go....Let's go....I've come back for more

Close to you

I wanna be close to you baby, as I can get
Close to you baby, as water is wet
Close to you baby, as the hair on your head
Close to you baby, you better believe what I said

I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I wanna be close to you baby, as white is to rice
Close you you baby, as cold is to ice

Close you you baby, as a pig is to pork
I wanna be close to you baby
Whoa, let me be close to you

Close to you baby, as cold is to ice
Close to you baby, as an egg is to a hen
Close you baby, as Siamese twins

I wanna be close to you baby

I wanna be close to you darlin'

Cold shot

Once was a sweet thang baby....Held out her lovin' in our hands
Now I reach to kiss your lips....The touch don't mean a thing
And that's a cold shot baby....Yeah that's a drag
A cold shot baby....I let our love go bad

Remember the way that you loved me....Do anything I said
Now I see you out somewhere....You won't give me the time of day
And that's a cold shot darlin'....Yeah that's a drag
And that's a cold shot baby....We let our love go bad

I really meant I was sorry....For ever causin' you pain
You showed your appreciation....By walkin' out anyway
And that's a cold shot baby....Yeah that's a drag
And that's a cold shot baby...We let our love go bad

So sad....Too bad....So sad
Don't let our true love run cold baby

Come on (part iii)

People talkin' but they just don't know....What's in my heart and why I love you so
I love you baby like a miner loves gold....Come on baby let the good times roll

Let the good times roll....Come on it soothes my soul
Oh let the good times roll....Come on, come on, come on

A lot of people live in make believe....They keep a lot of dirt up their sleeve
My love baby ain't the kind to fold....Come on baby let the good times roll
Let the good times roll....Come on an' let it roll
Aw yeah....Let it roll....Come on....Let it roll

Our lovin's nice if it's understood....It's even nicer when you feel so good
You got me flippin' like a flag on a pole....Come on sugar let the good times roll

Oh let the good times roll....Come on let it roll.....Come on, come on
Come on, come on.....Come on and let it roll

Couldn't stand the weather

Runnin' through this business of life
Raisin' sand if I'm needed to.
Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right.
Then daddy's hand helps to see me through.
Sweet as sugar, love won't wash away.
Rain or shine, it's always here to stay.
All these years you and I've spent together.
All this, we just couldn't stand the weather.

Like a train that stops at every station,
We all deal with trials and tribulations.
Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years.
Entangled in yellow and cries all his tears.
Changes come before we can grow.
Learn to see them before we're too old.
Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy.
Understand, it's time to get ready for the storm.

Crossfire

Day by day night after night....Blinded by the neon lights
Hurry here hustlin' there....No one's got the time to spare
Money's tight nothin' free....Won't somebody come and rescue me
I am stranded....Caught in the crossfire
Stranded....Caught in the crossfire.

Tooth for tooth eye for an eye....Sell your soul just to buy buy buy
Beggin' a dollar stealin' a dime....Come on can't you see that I
I am stranded....Caught in the crossfire
I am stranded....Caught in the crossfire.

I need some kind of kindness....Some kind of sympathy oh no
We're stranded....Caught in the crossfire

Save the strong lose the weak....Never turning the other cheek
Trust nobody don't be no fool....Whatever happened to the golden rule
We got stranded....Caught in the crossfire
We got stranded....Caught in the crossfire
We got stranded....Caught in the crossfire
Stranded....Caught in the crossfire
Help me

Dirty pool

True love is gone....I's been played for a fool
True love is gone....I's been played for a fool

All your friends thought that was cool...

You said you'd call the shots darlin'....
All your friends thought that was so cool

I'm cryin'

Well now sittin' here so lonely....Feelin' oh so blue
My baby's tryin' to mistreat me and I don't know what to do
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day

Yeah I've loved her for such a long time...To end it all this way
Sittin' here so lonely....Tears be fallin' just like rain
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day

Yeah you know I love you baby...I'll do anything for you
But when we start to fightin'....I just get these same old blues
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day

Yeah now when I first met you baby....At a dance and we did fine
Now we're together and it's a total waste of time
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love you baby....I can't live another day

Well I guess it's just my own fault....The truth I cannot hide
But if I ever get you back dear....I'll stay right by your side
I won't be cryin'....I'll stay happy that a way
I'll be lovin' my little baby....Every night and every day

You poison my coffee....In with that milk and cream
You're the meanest woman....I think I've most ever seen

You mix my drink....With a can of Red Devil lye
You mix my drink....With a can of Red Devil lye

Life by the drop

Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago it was 'til the end
We played outside in the pouring rain
On our way up the road we started over again

You're livin' a dream....Wo you on top
My mind is achin'....Lord it won't stop
Thats how it happens....Livin' life by the drop

Up and down that road in our worn out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and signin' the blues
You went your way....I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time

You're livin a dream....Wo you on top
My mind is achin'....Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens....Livin' life by the drop

No wasted time....We're alive today
Churnin' up the past....There's no easier way
Time's been between us....A means to an end
God it's good to be here walkin' together my friend

You're livin a dream....Wo you on top
My mind is achin'....Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens....Livin' life by the drop
That's how it happens....Livin' life by the drop
That's how it happens....Livin' life by the drop

Life without you

Oo oo now baby....Tell me how have you been
We all have missed you....And the way you grin
The day is necessary....Every now and then
For souls to move on....Givin' life back again, and again
Fly on fly on....Fly on my friend
Go on....Live again....Love again

Day after day....Night after night
Sittin' here singin' every minute....As the years go passing by....by, by, by
Long look in the mirror....We've come face to face
Wishin' all the love we took for granted....Love we have today

Life without you....All the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for so long....Now they have their way
Take your place....

Little wing

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and a fairy tale
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright she says...It's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Fly on little wing
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Scratch - n - sniff

They were two lonely folks doin' the do's and don'ts
And got the notion together they'd be happy
Thought they'd lose the crowd and do the mess around
Decided to make it snappy
Just a twist of fate they didn't hesitate
Now they had another party to lean on
She made him jump and sang, he made her share that thing
Looks like they gonna have a ball
Ain't nothin' wrong at all
Whoa, they gonna have a ball

They got to asking what if they had to scratch-n-sniff
To find out what it is they are after
Got the ants out their pants and took the chance on romance
Made some plans to make it forever
Now several years have gone, they're still gettin' along
They know what true love is made of
Now they know that life's a trip, with all it's bumps and dips
They're gonna help one another along
Nothin' wrong at all
Still havin' a ball
Lord they're really gettin' it on

Time is on their side, they've got nothing to hide
Never had no secrets between them
He don't need to accuse her, use her or abuse her
And she feels the same for him
And those vows they made said nothing about slaves
And didn't mention rentining to own
They can take the stand that walking hand in hand
What they got is gooder than gold
Ain't nothin' wrong at all
Whoa they gonna have a ball
Yeah, they really got it all

Love is true heart's desire without it's just a funeral pyre
Got to let your true love grow, it's all you got that's gooder than gold
Let's get it on ya'll

Superstition

Very superstitious....Writing on the wall
Very superstitious....Ladder's 'bout to fall
Thirteen month old baby....Broke that looking glass
Seven years of bad luck....Good things in the past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer....Superstition ain't the way.

Very superstitious....Wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem....Get all that you can
Keep me in a daydream....Keep me going strong
You don't want to save me....Sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer....Superstition ain't the way.

Very superstitious....Nothing more to say
Very superstitious....Devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby....Broke that looking glass
Seven years of bad luck....Good things in the past

When you believe in things that you don't understand
You will suffer....Superstition ain't the way.

And you're working for no one but me.

Lord, and my search would always end in vain
I used to search all night for you darlin'
Lord, and my search would always end in vain
But I knew all the time darlin'....That you was hid out wit' your other man

I'm goin' to send you back to your mama darlin'
Lord, and I'm goin' back to my family too
I'm goin' to send you back to your mama darlin'
Lord, and I'm goin' back to my family too
Nothin' I can do to please ya' darlin'....I just can't get along with you

Tightrope

Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath.
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat.
Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race.
Feels like I'm losing time, at a breakneck pace.

Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace.
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face.
There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge.
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end.

Walkin' the tight rope, steppin on my friends
Walkin' the tight rope, was a shame and a sin.
Walkin' the tight rope, between wrong and right.
Walkin' the tight rope, both day and night.

Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin.
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend
We've had all our problems, that's the way life is.
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends.

We have been walkin' the tightrope Trying to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around.
Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found.
Walkin' the tightrope streched around the world.
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls.
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right.
Walkin' the tightrope do it, do it tonight.
Walkin the tightrope

Tin pan alley

Went down to Tin Pan Alley....See what was going on
Things was too hot down there....Couldn't stay very long
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a woman scream....Yeah and I peeked through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a....Lord with a two-by-four
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin
I heard a pistol shoot....Yeah and it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter cause he didn't....Shake, rattle, and roll
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Killin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standin'....with his hand on his gun
Said "This is a raid boys....nobody run"
Hey, Hey, Hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Yeah they took me away from tin pan alley
And took me right back...to the pen

Voodoo chile (slight return)

Well I'm standin' next to a mountain....Choppin' down with the edge of my hand
Well I'm standin' next to a mountain....Choppin' down with the edge of my hand
Pick up the pieces, make an island....Might even raise a little sand

Cause I'm a voodoo chile....Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you....One of these days
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you....The rest of my days

I won't see you again in this world....See ya in the next one
Don't be late....Don't be late

Cause I'm a voodoo chile yeah....Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile

Wall of denial

A wall of denial - is fallin' down
Wo it's fallin' so hard - down to the ground
Never knew something so strong could be washed away by tears
But this wall of denial was just built on fear

We've all had our demons from the garden of white lies
Dressed them amused them pullin' wool over our eyes
Go so far as to love them to keep from letting them go
All the while they we're killin' us but we couldn't let it show

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
We're never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
Down to the ground

Simple things in life bring the greatest pleasure
A smile, a kiss, a little baby's laughter
It makes no difference if we run away in fear
The little things in life hold us so near

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
(We're) never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
Yeah this wall of denial must tumble down
Down to the ground

Willie the wimp

Willie the Wimp was buried today
They laid him to rest in a special way
Sent him off in the finest style
That casket-mobile really drove 'em wild
Southside Chicago will think of him often
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

That casket, it looked like a fine Seville
He had a vanity license and a Cadillac grille
Willie was propped up in the driver's seat
He had diamonds on his fingers and a smile sweet
Fine red suit had the whole town talkin'
Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

In his Cadillac to Heaven he was wavin' the banner
He left like he lived, in a lively manner
With a-hundred dollar bills in his fingers tight
He had flowers for wheels and a-flashin' headlights
He been wishin' for wings, no way he was walkin'
Talkin' 'bout Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin
Yeah, Willie the Wimp and his Cadillac coffin

Willie the Wimp....his Cadillac coffin
Willie the Wimp....Cadillac coffin
Willie the Wimp....Cadillac coffin
