Sweet Country Blues
Steel guitar playing into the night
Country breeze on the river feels so right
Angels are dancing, sinners they cry
They hear different music and nobody knows why
I just off the train at a quarter past two
And I already got those sweet country blues
Wide-eyed owl sitting on a fence
He's just there because of circumstance
The drunkard he stumbles then he falls
And with the new day it will be hard to recall
I wake up in the mornin' put on my shoes
I ain't got nothin' but these sweet country blues
The radio's playing the The Tammy Whynots
Another band out there giving it a shot
The barroom's crowded it's hot and I sweat
We're all caught up in drama without one regret
It's been a long time since I had someone that's true
I ain't got nothin' but these sweet country blues
The prince is writing something down in his book
He doesn't know if he's a king or a rook
The radio's still playing those sweet country sounds
I'll have to go hear them next time I'm in town
It's been a long time since his spirit flew
The king is gone and I got these sweet country blues
Shadows on the walls at early dawn
I fell asleep with the TV on
The cat says good morning with a hint of despair
He used to live free but now he don't care
With reckless abandon I look for something new
I'm stuck in a rut and got those sweet country blues
I call my cat Henry because of his face
He's not known to be friendly, so this is his place
Smells like it's raining as I put the window down
Someone' radio is still playing that sound
One thin I have to say I need a better view
But for me now it's just these sweet country blues
Sooner or later the ax is gonna fall
I'm sticking my neck out for one and all
Anxiety is tearing me apart at the seams
There's too much confusion I don't know what it means
I can't wrap my mind around the things people do
I got my own problems with these sweet country blues
I'm avoiding temptation as much as I can
The women 'round here could ruin a man
I got chicken in the skillet just about to fry
I wouldn't lie to you, darling, I wouldn't even try
There's apple pie in the oven for just me and you
We'll eat it and think about these sweet country blues

What You Trying to Do
Baby, what you trying to to do
When I was trying to be so true
Were you looking for somebody new
Baby, what you trying to do
Baby, what you trying to say
You think we should end this game
Just let me take all the blame
Baby, what you trying to say
--- Can we survive this killing frost
Can't we win back the love we've lost
Can we survive this killing frost
Can't we win back the love we've lost
Baby, what you trying to do
When I was trying to be so true
Were you looking for somebody new
Baby, what you trying to do

Her Wind is Blowing Cold
I told Uncle Jimmy get on your coat
We’re going downtown and that was all she wrote
Gonna see Miss Julie
Gonna buy her drink
Gonna talk about the world and see what she thinks
Someday I’m gonna marry that woman I know
But as for today, her wind is blowing cold
I was gonna bring her flowers
I was gonna make her smile
I love it when she calls me
Her big white man-child
Gonna go begging
With my hat in my hand
Gonna sweep her off her feet
Like nobody can
Someday I’m gonna marry that woman I know
But as for today, her wind is blowing cold
I been to Alabama
I been to Tinsel Town
Wherever there’s a card game
I throw my money down
Gonna bet the whole
Gonna come out rich
Gonna bring it all to
That seductive witch
Someday I’m gonna marry that woman I know
But as for today, her wind is blowing cold
I like my bread toasted on a grill
I like my women worked up for a thrill
Gonna grab me that woman take her far away
Nobody can stop me
I don’t care what they say
Someday I’m gonna marry that woman I know
But as for today, her wind is blowing cold
