Hair Of The Dog: Heart breaker, soul shaker I've been told about you Steamroller, midnight stroller What they've been saying must be true Red hot mama Velvet charmer Time's come to pay your dues Now you're messin' with a Son of a bitch Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch Now you're messin' with a Son of a bitch Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch Talkin' jivey, poison ivy You ain't gonna cling to me Man taker, born faker I ain't so blind I can't see Red hot mama Velvet charmer Time's come to pay your dues Now you're messin' with a Son of a bitch Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch Now you're messin' with a Son of a bitch Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch |

Miss Misery: Since you came into my life It's the same old situation Empty days and lonely nights Filled with bitterness and frustration. Walking lonely in the cold Tryin' to find the answer Spend my money on a crystal ball And the charms of a gypsy dancer. Tryin' to break the spell you hold on me You're miss misery That song you lay on me Set me free,set me free Please, please, please Everyday is filled with shame My nights are filled with anger All lies up till now If you told the truth I can't remember. You know I've got to find my way Got to find a reason Got to find your weakness So I can end your witchin' season. Got to break the spell you hold on me You're miss misery That song you lay on me Set me free,set me free Please, please, please Can't think how I got myself Caught up in this nightmare Evil schemes, midnight screams Come on somebody listen to my prayer I'd give all I've got to give Just to find my way out Got it going but I can't let go I'm trapped on this crazy 'round about Tryin' to break the spell you hold on me You're miss misery That song you lay on me Set me free,set me free Please, please, please |

Guilty: (Randy Newman) Yes baby, I've been drinkin' Shouldn't come by anymore But I found myself in trouble darlin' And I have no place else to go. I got some whiskey,from a bottle Got some cocaine,from a friend And I had to keep on movin' darlin' Till I was back in your arms again. And I'm guilty, I am guilty And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life How come I'm never gonna do What I'm supposed to do Seems like everything I do Never turns out right That's how it is with me darlin' You know I just can't stand myself But it takes a whole lot of medicine darlin' For me to pretend that I'm somebody else |

Changin' Times: When I was younger I used to understand That when you're with a girl, you gotta act like a man Mama told me that's the way it should be And I know my mama never lied to me. What do you think about you're changin' times 'cause when I'm with you I just can't make up my mind Since I met you don't know right from wrong Somebody tell me just what's goin' on Just can't get myself thinkin' straight I'm all shook up and in a terrible state Sometimes I think I got it all figured out Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out Someday baby I'm going to have to make a stand The way that you treat me baby Don't make me feel to much like a man And baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through You're drivin' me half crazy Can't make up my mind what to do about you. Tellin' myself that time is on my side You're gettin' this feelin' that my mind's on the slide Dumped on the floor, I feel I'm trapped in a spin Don't know how to end, can't think of where to begin She don't care I know she don't even try But when she turns it on You know she gets me so high. She's a lady that's making my life a sin You know that I'm runnin' in a losin' race There ain't no way I can win Baby,baby,the changes you're goin' through They're drivin' me half crazy Can't make up my mind what to do about you |

Beggar's Day: (Nils Lofgren) If this is heaven, then I'm in hell If trust is misfortune, then wish me well While I think of sadness baby Your light shines through, your light shines through Your light shines through Because it's beggar's day Because it's beggar's day Because it's beggar's day I've lost control of my darker side I'm runnin' for free on the heels of the wise And I have crossed myself in anger All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me All your mercy can't save me Because it's beggar's day Because it's beggar's day Because it's beggar's day It's beggar's day You know it's beggar's day Because it's beggar's day See this love, I've stored for you Wheel it and deal it, but our feelin's are true And I have crossed myself in anger All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save me All your mercy can't save me Because it's beggar's day Because it's beggar's day Because it's beggar's day |

Whiskey Drinkin' Woman: Close up the bar you know the gates of the prairie She's out there every night And she sure ain't drinkin' tea I love that woman, she's the best one that I had But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad That whiskey drinkin' woman Is makin' a poor man out of me She's got bottles in the kitchen Even got them in my bed Most times I see her now She's three parts out her head Don't know where I went wrong I sure try to treat her right But it sure upsets me Seein' her juiced up every night. That whiskey drinkin' woman Is makin' a poor man out of me Got to solve this problem Won't you help me find the key The way that things are going I'll have to buy the distillery She just stands there smilin' With a whiskey in each hand Got to think of something Don't know how much I can stand That whiskey drinkin' woman Is makin' a poor man out of me Got to get myself together, start workin' something out Maybe if I tried some booze, I'd know what it's about I love that woman, she's the best one that I had But she's got this problem now And it sure is gettin' bad. That whiskey drinkin' woman Is makin' a poor man out of me |
