Lyrics:

1983


[I'm A Ramblin' Man]

Well, I've been down to Mississippi
Down through New Orleans, yes, I have
I've played in California
There ain't too much I haven't seen, No there ain't.

Oh, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fool around with any old ramblin' man.

[This Time]

This time, if you want me to come back
It's up to you
But remember I won't allow the things
You used to do.

Gonna have to toe the mark
And walk the line
This time will be
The last time.

[Don't You Think This Outlaw Bits Done Gone Out of Hand]

I'm for the law and order the way it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand.

Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand.

[Clyde]

Clyde played electric bass
{layed it with finesse and grace
Set on the porch, ain't got no shoes
Pickin' that bass and singin' the blues.

[Good Hearted Woman]

Lord, she don't understand him
But she does the best that she can
She's a good hearted woman
In love with her good timin' man.

She's a good hearted woman
In love with a good timin' man
She loves him in spite of his wicked ways
That she don't understand.

Through teardrops and laughter
They'll pass through this world hand in hand
A good hearted woman
Lovin' her good timin' man.

[Ladies Love Outlaws]

Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

[Luckenbach Texas (Back In The Basics Of Love)]

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
With Waylon and Willie and the Boys
This succesful life we're livin's
Got us feudin' like the Hatfields and McCoys.

Between Hank Williams pain songs
And Newbury's train songs
And 'Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain'
Out in Luckenbach Texas
Ain't nobody feelin' no pain.

[I've Always Been Crazy]

I've always been crazy
It's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if
It's something to blast heart of flame.

Till now I ain't found the rhyme
Or the reason to change
I've always been crazy
It kept me from going insane
