Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Sadie got a six gun, she aint afraid to use it
The banker took us straight down to the safe and I blew it
The sheriff heard a big bang in the broad daylight
And by the time the smoke cleared we were nowhere in sight
Sadie got an Mustang, an old '64
Sadie got the top down and her foot to the floor
Lights in the rearview, got the fuzz on our tail
Better give me that scattergun, baby I aint goin back to jail
(Repeat chords and strumming for the whole song)
Sadie got a hideout off of 71
We'll count up all the money, ditch the car and the guns
Sadie says she loves me, I'll always be her man
"And Ill see you in Rio honey, we gotta stick to the plan"
I woke up in the hayloft to the rooster's crow
No sign of Sadie, no sign of the dough
Im heading to the airport, I got a little brass key
I got a ticket and a passport, locker 32-B
Open up the blue box, there aint nothing inside
I been played like a fiddle, Ive been taken for a ride
Sadie made a phone call in the middle of the night
Theyve got the place surrounded with the black and white
I got myself a hostage in a Delta skirt
"Do as I tell you and nobody gets hurt
Show me where your car's parked, youre gonna have to drive
Because Ill be hiding in the backseat with a .45"
"Get me through the roadblock, better drive real slow
Better play your cards right and Ill let you go"
And I hear my heart a pounding as fast as it can
I hear the copper askin Have you seen this man?
Delta kept her mouth shut like a good girl should
"And youre free to go now 'cuz you done real good"
Now I got a suitcase and a thumb in the air
I dont know where Im goin and I dont really care
Bubbas got a big rig and an empty seat
Were headin to Laredo, its alright with me
Ill check into a hotel in old Mexico
I gotta wait until it cools down, Im gonna lay a little low
Well I dont miss the money, I dont miss the guns
Well I sure miss Sadie even after all shes done
Yea, Sadie left me hanging and she told a lotta lies
Well its true what they say boys, true love never dies
True true love
True true love
Track 2- Casanets
She plays castanets, she works without a net
I like her better when she walks away
She said she was mine, she told me twice
I like her better when she walks away
Chorus 1
I like her better when she walks away
I like her better when shes here to stay
I like her better when she danced my way
I like her better when she walks away, yeah
I love the sun as it silhouettes
I like her better when she walks away
I love her hair as it falls across my face
I like her better when she walks away
Chorus
She plays castanets, she works without a net
I like her better when she walks away
She turns me on like a pickup truck
I like her better when she walks away
I like the sun shining through her dress
I like her better when she walks away
I like her hair in a tangled mess
I like her better when she walks away
Chorus
Solo out...
Track 3- Motel Cowboy Show
Chorus
Hey ol' lady lets go to the motel cowboy show
Well drink and dance, theres no place else to go
Well stay out all night long, well toast the break of dawn
Hey ol' lady lets go to the motel cowboy show
Well they rolled one for the road, put on the same dirty old clothes
Down the trail they road to the motel cowboy show
Well, they parked at the end of the line, underneath the cold beer sign
Its a long, long way to ride without your whiskey and your wine
Something stronger would be fine, something stronger would be fine
Chorus
Well they walk thru the swingin doors, through the sawdust on the floor
Everybody was ready to go at the motel cowboy show
Theyve been all over the land, not bad for a honky tonk band
Well, its a long hard hill to climb, when you're so far ahead of time
And youve never seen a dime, youre so far ahead of your time
Chorus
Bridge 1
Well the doses soon kicked in and the fun would soon begin
The fun would soon begin
And the world did a great big spin
Whoo baby, its fun, and it aint no sin
Instrumental break
Bridge 2
I know you well, you dont remember
We partied way back in November
The 72 or was it 73, I know you well, you dont remember me
All the faces changed and the room went round
What a mystic place, what a mystic sound
Well we rolled one for the road, and they candied up their nose
Down the trail they rode to the motel cowboy show
Chorus
Track 4 - I Still Do
Verse
She said boy why don't you love me like you used to
You never want to hold me anymore
And I said girl now don't you go start talking crazy
Cause I love you more than I ever have before
Chorus
But if I don't show it lately
It's just cause I m a little bit crazy
Don't think my days of loving you are through
Cause I still do
I still do
Verse
Well I guess I must have slipped and let my guard down
Cause you know you re always gonna be my girl
When I get turned around and loose direction
Sometimes I forget you re my whole world
Chorus
But if I don't show it lately
It's just cause I m a little bit crazy
Don't think my days of loving you are through
Cause I still do
I still do
Yeah
(instrumental) then
But if I don't show it lately
It's just cause I m a little bit lazy
Don't think my days of loving you are through
Cause I still do
I still do
Track 5 - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Well says Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike
And a girl could feel special on any such like
Says James to Red Molly, my hat's off to you
Thats a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme
And he pulled her on behind
And down to Box Hill they did ride
Says James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
And I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
Now I'm 21, I might not make 22
But I don't mind dying but for the love of you
And if fate should break my stride
Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride
Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae
For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
But he smiled to see her cry
And said I'll give you my Vincent to ride
Says James, in my opinion, there's nothing in this world
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeveses won't do
Well, they don't have a soul like a Vincent 52
He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
He said I've got no further use for these
I see angels on Ariels in leathers and chrome
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
And he gave her one last kiss and died
And he gave her his Vincent to ride
Alternate between G and Cadd9 for the ending
Track 6 - Seven Nights In Eire
Intro chords
twice
The first pub we could stagger to was twelve steps from the plane
A Virgin flight to Shannontown the day it didnt rain
The laughing eyes of Ireland sparkling blue and green
With hair as black as Guinness stout and barely seventeen
Were back out on the cobblestones, whiskey drunk and high again
Liquored up and gearing up for seven nights in Ireland
The corner booth is waiting for the session to begin
Its quiet as a mothers prayer till we all stumble in
And its fifty happy voices mixed with whistles made of tin
And a piper man is blowing like the North Atlantic wind
And an Aran island beauty is sawing on the violin
I wonder will she miss me after seven nights in Ireland
Its Ladies Day in Galway and we watched the ponies run
Fifty pounds against the odds and came in six to one
McSwiggin heard the race report, he invited us on in
So we drank Catholic whiskey with all our newfound friends
They raised a glass to all of us and we all toasted them
Heres to Michael, Tom and Pat and seven nights in Ireland
Well we kissed all the girls goodbye and gathered in our gear
And when she walked me to the gate I swear I saw a tear
But then she looked into my eyes I knew she felt my pain
And only then I realized we were standing in the rain
So save our places at the pub and when the eyes are dry again
Well come back another day for seven nights in Ireland
Track 7 - Break My Heart Tonight
Well I got empty bottles and legal papers wrinkled up all over the floor
My pen won't write and my guitar doesn't have a song in it anymore
Well I can write another love song, yeah, but first you got to find someone to love
I could write another fight song, yeah, but there's got to be something to be proud of
they say
Chorus 1
[G/f#]
Misery love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart tonight
Going out walkin' on Avenue B and I ain't comin' back until dawn
And find some stranger in a Greenich bar to shower my affection upon
Well maybe she'll stay 'til one fateful day when we realize we've got nothin' left
And maybe I'll find she's messed up my mind and I can get back to doing what I do best
they say
Chorus 1
Solo
Bridge
Well all these A&R guys keep knockin' on my door
I guess the last batch wasn't good enough cause they keep on wanting more
and more and they say
Chorus 2
[G/f#]
Write what you know and it just goes to show, you gotta write your own destiny
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart tonight, they say
[G/f#]
Misery love's company, but it damn sure ain't lookin' for me
I'll be alright, I just gotta find someone to break my heart tonight
Track 8 - Nobody's Girl
3x
The first man that you ever loved
Left your mama, never said goodbye to anyone.
And you were raised with your head held high
But any fool can see it's just a clever disguise.
Chorus
- You're nobody's baby,
You're nobody's darlin,
You're nobody's girl -
You've always been a little scared to open your heart
And you never let anybody take it too far.
You never let 'em on the inside
Cause you're always scared of gettin' taken for a ride.
Chorus
- You're nobody's baby,
You're nobody's darlin,
You're nobody's girl -
Everybody wants you but you don't wanna care
So you keep 'em at a distance with the frown you wear.
You spend your time tryin' to even the score
And you've got it in your head you deserve alot more.
The first one was a total disaster
So was the second one and every one after.
But when you're breakin' in a broken home,
You're gonna be sure to spend some nights on your own when
Chorus
- You're nobody's baby,
You're nobody's darlin,
You're nobody's girl,
You're nobody's girl
Track 9 - Hey Say May/Guacamole
I got a phone call today
From a girl who walked away
But I hung it up be-fore I heard what it was she had to say
Chorus
[G/f#]
Hey say May, well I drink all day
Dammit I told her I'm doing alright
I found a letter there in my drawer
What it said I'm not quite sure
But it's been so long since you walked out my door, I just don't care anymore
Chorus 2
[G/f#]
I don't care fallin drunk down the stairs
Dammit I told her Im doin alright
Bridge
Im doin alright
Im doing alri-i-ight yeah
Nobody's changin the way Im feeling tonight
harmonica solo)
Cause Im doing alright
Well it must of been 12 months ago
Whene I found a note slipped under my door
But I never read it, I guess I was sore, I don't even know now what for
Chorus 4
[G/f#]
For the girl next door, 20 years before
There's cookie crumbs on my floor, Im doing alright
In a moment of weakness it came
Then as I looked at her name
I shook my head as I struck a match and watched it all go up in flames
Chorus 3
[G/f#]
Up in flames as I smoke my Mary Jane
Goddammit, I told her Im doing alright
Bridge
Except for my multiple personalities
(Let the C ring out and then wait about 10 seconds to start "Guacamole")
1st 2nd
**
Verse
(1)
I met her at the mercado,
She was buying avocados,
(2)
My, she really turned me on.
She reached for my pepper,
I grabbed her tomatoes,
(1)
I knew it wouldn't be very long.
She went to the mesa,
I grabbed my cerveza,
(2)
I got the onions and lemons.
And when she looked at me,
Then I could clearly see,
(1)
it wouldn't be very long.
Chorus
Guacamole...
Guacamole...
We'd be making guacamole all night long. (2x)
Verse ii
She went for the line,
I fell in right behind,
Man, she sure looked good.
She reached for her money,
I said, "Wait a minute honey",
I believe this one is one me.
She got in my pickup,
Started to backup,
Headed down the road.
We went to mi casa,
Tortillas de masa(?),
and made guacamole all night long.
Chorus
Guacamole...
Guacamole...
We'd be making guacamole all night long. (2x)
(After about 15 seconds, play the below part to end "Hey Say May")
We're doing alright
Track 10 - Vancouver
When the sun went down,
You were sittin' under someone else's sunset.
And I wasn't around
And you were wishin' that I was the guy that you'd just met.
And I was probably stumbling down some
Backstreet ally in Amsterdam
While you were makin' excuses and breakin' another heart
Or maybe I was drinkin' wine with the pigeons in the square in Venice
While I was wonderin' what you're doin'
And wonderin' where you are...
When the stars came out,
I was sittin' in a studio on Sunset
And the lights were down
And I was wishin' that the time we'd had wasn't over yet.
And you were probably sittin' in an airport
Waitin' on a plane to Vegas
While I was packin' a suitcase and starin' at a waitin' car.
Or maybe you were headed out to some house party on Lake Austin
And I'm wonderin' what you're doin'
And wonderin' where you are...
When my luck ran out,
I was sittin' on a concrete block in Little Rock.
We didn't scream or shout,
We just said goodbye, then I waited for the click
And the lights went out.
And now I'm packin' it up and rollin' on out for Vancouver
For some wasted youth and fresh set of lonely stars
And I'm wonderin' baby, if you ever really saw the best of us
And I wonder what you're doin'
And I wonder where you are...
I still wonder what you're doin'
And I wonder where you are...
Track 11 - Wiggles and Ritalin
Lets put on the Wiggles & pop a couple Ritalin
Papa dont blame mama or tell her how lazy shes been
Its been prescribed by a doctor and the doctor said it aint no sin
So lets put on the Wiggles & pop a couple Ritalin
Lets put on MacGyver & chow a couple Xanax bars
I dont need no college counselor to tell me how lucky I are
I lay the blame on the clinic and man its got me this far
Yeah, Lets put on MacGyver & chow a couple Xanax bars
Chorus
If only Dad would have spanked me instead
Of dopin me up and messing with my head
I might have turned out to be a regular guy
But its all that I know and I gotta get high
So lets put on some Soul Train and snort a little cocaine
Ill chop some lines maybe one at a time till were feeling no pain
Ill bite my tongue till its numb and Ill talk till I drive you insane
Yeah, lets put on some Soul Train and snort a little cocaine
Chorus
So lets put on some Scooby Doo & smoke a couple doobie doos
Ive been high since I was just a little guy in my Underoos
I sit around on my ass smokin grass and watchin classic cartoons
Yeah, lets put on some Scooby Doo & smoke a couple doobie doos
Yeah, Lets put on some Scooby Doo & smoke a couple doobie doos
Track 12 - Wild Western Wind Blown Band
Chorus
Roll on, you wild western windblown band
Lifes waitin up the road for you and the futures in your hands
Well I dont fly no aeroplanes
And I dont ride railroad trains
I just drive my truck down the blacktop lane to the next town.
Next week well be in Jackson Hole
Got some good friends there to soothe our souls
Lord dont you know its a good town
Chorus
Well I dont live for borrowing
Lord and I dont love just one thing,
I believe in all that life brings down your highway
So if you hear our words and songs
Take what you need to be strong
Dont be afraid to love us, we will do you no wrong
Chorus

Intro chords
[G/f#] /
[G/f#]
My first love was a wicked twisted road
[G/f#]
I hit the million mile mark at 17 years old
[G/f#]
I never saw the rainbow much less a pot of gold
[G/f#]
Yeah, my first love was a wicked twisted road
My first love was a castle in the sky
Never thought Id make it till I had the guts to try
And I sat up in my tower while the whole world passed me by
Yeah my first love was a castle in the sky
Mandolin solo
My first love was a fearless, driving rain
Scared to death I thought Id never see her face again
They say god was cryin so I guess he felt my pain
My first love was a fearless, driving rain
My first love was a wild, sinful night
I ran out with the big dogs, guess I had more bark than bite
I know I won the battle but in the end I lost the fight
Yeah my first love was a wild, sinful night
Guitar solo
My first love was an angry, painful song
Wanted one so bad I went and did everything wrong
The lesson in reality would come fore too long
Yeah my first love was an angry, painful song
My first love was a wicked twisted road
I hit the million mile mark at 17 years old
I never saw the rainbow much less a pot of gold
Yeah, my first love was a wicked twisted road
Track 15 - Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah
Intro
Verse 1
Well, it sure didnt take to long
I woke up in the morning she was gone
And the note that she wrote didnt say dear john
It said goodbye fucker im gone
She was a homegrown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
I was a wanna be rocker She was more into Merle
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work
Chorus
And now I'm double fisting long necks, grapefruit and Stoli
But I'm never getting over Joely
Interlude
Verse 2
Well I poured myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn't let me in Cause I ain't a movie star
So I went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar
Well the bouncer threw me out too
And I didn't know what to do
So I picked up the phone And I called dear Sue
The cock blocker wouldn't let me through
Chorus 2
And now I'm wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me
But I'm never getting over Joely
Interlude
Repeat Twice)
Verse 3
Well I gathered up all my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
I drove to her house and parked out on the lawn
She's right I always was the crazy one.
Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me
Said "calm down would you like a drink"
And I shot him full of holes From his nose to his knees
And I polished off her little sweet pea
Chorus 3
And I'm crying on me knees feeling dirty and unholy
But I'm never getting over Joely
Now I'll probably get life and serve at least forty,
But I'm never getting over Joely
