1.
Where Have All The Outlaws Gone - 3:57
(Cliff Hagen, Johnny Holm)
Where have all the outlaws gone?
Is the good Lord calling them all back home?
Well, I don't know but I've been told
that Waylon had a hell of a soul. Yeah!
Willie got into a mess. He was
busted by the IRS. Austin City Limits (is) what
I choose
When I need to hear the
London Homesick Blues.
I've been searching for a rainbow on my
FM radio
But it's sad to say they just don't
play much David Allen Coe.
And I can only take that stuff they
play for just so long
Until I've got to go and hear an ol'
Bocephus song.
Yeah where have all the outlaws gone!
I'd walk the line to hell and back,
just to hear The Man in Black.
Johnny Paycheck's in the grave.
He was the only hell his mamma raised.
When you listen to the radio they're
hardly ever played.
Is that because they never change their
rough and rowdy ways?
Marshall Tucker singing, "woman can't
you see," and Merle said "don't you dare get on the
fighting side of me."
Yeah where have all the outlaws gone!
I said where have all the outlaws gone!
Well, they've made some awful choices
when it's come to No Show Jones
But they couldn't kill the Possum no
old George he just stayed home.
The Devil's down in Georgia with Shaver
on a train and People and Their Problems can
drive a man insane
Yeah where have all the outlaws gone!
I've been searching for a rainbow on my
FM radio
But it's sad to say they just don't
play much David Allen Coe.
Marshall Tucker singing, "woman can't
you see,"
And Johnny Cash don't Hurt no
more, his soul has been set free.
Yeah where have all the outlaws gone!
Where have all the outlaws gone!

2. Good For You (Bad For Me) - 3:25
(Cliff Hagen,
Dave Anderson)
Well, I couldn't be any bluer even if I
held my breath, but I loved you enough to let you go.
I've put the past behind me and I'm
trying to do my best
But now you feel there's something I
should know.
You say your new love is like a drink
of water. I was your man first, but he's the one
to quench your thirst
And you think you've found everything
that I could never be. Good for you! Bad
for me.
Well, it's true that I miss your smile
and he's one lucky man, cuz he can live my every
fantasy.
While I hold on to your picture, he
holds the real thing in his hands.
And that's good for you, but it ain't
good for me.
You say your new love is like a drink
of water. I was your man first, but he's the one
to quench your thirst
And you think you've found everything
that I could never be. Good for you! Bad
for me.
Well, I saw your brand new lover at the
church. He looks unhappy , so I asked why he
seemed hurt.
He said, "You're lucky that you left
before she went and lost her mind.
Now, I wish that I was you because you
got out just in time.
And she's found a brand new love that's
like a drink of water. We've seen her at her
worst
And no one could ever quench that
thirst. At least you had the best of her before
she got to me.
Good for you! Bad for me.
Good for you! Bad for me."

3. A Strange
Thing To Do - 3:34
(Cliff Hagen)
CHORUS: If you're ever gonna love
me girl, you'd better start tonight,
Or I'll be leaving in the morning with
the ol' sunrise.
You've been treating me like a stranger
and that's a strange thing to do.
I want you woman, but I want you to
want me too.
I got a woman, lives on down the line.
Me and her used to get along just fine.
But lately she's been treating me bad
and I just want the love we had.
I got a woman, lives on down the line.
And...
CHORUS
I'm standing here with a full moon on
my back, wondering if there's something that I lack.
But I'm a man you could be proud of.
I don't ask much I just want your love.
I'm standing here with a full moon on
my back. And...
CHORUS
Well, what's been making you act this
way? You used to love me night and day!
Well, I've done all I can for your, and
all you've done is made me blue! But...

4. Me and Misery -
4:19
(Cliff Hagen,
Leland Harding III)
I can hear the echo of your whispers
faintly in the dark.
But I assume it's just my imagination
playing tricks upon my heart.
I remember that July day when my world
fell apart.
When you took my ring off your finger,
you tore up my heart.
CHORUS: And now it's me, me and
misery. If you need company, just give us a
call.
And I'll be here with a beer in my hand
and a teardrop in my eye.
But it's nothing new to me. It's
just me and misery.
It's been hard the past three years
since you've been gone.
And I try to put you out of my mind,
but the pain hangs on.
Because the only thing I've ever needed
in my life is gone.
And the ring you took off your finger
is why I sing this song.
CHORUS
Yeah, it's nothing new to me.
It's just me and misery.

5. Sloppin' The Hogs (Baby, I Think of You) -
3:17
(Cliff Hagen,
Matt Reese)
Well, this morning I woke up and I put
on my overshoes.
And I headed out to the barn to great
the new day.
I saw my old cow and my dog, but my
favorite thing is the hogs.
Cuz when I see them I think of you in a
real sweet way.
Their little curly tails remind me of
your hair. And the way they squeal at their
breakfast meal
Well, I don't miss you cuz I'd swear
you were there.
Well, I love you. I can't forget
you. That's why I wrote this song.
You know, baby, I think of you when I'm
sloppin' the hogs. Ah, let's get dirty now!
On the day you went away, I had to bury
my head in the hay.
Hey but when chore time came, it wasn't
so hard, cuz you were right with me in the slop yard.
Well, you left me for another, but I
don't seem to care.
Cuz when I'm with my hogs, it's just
like having you there!
Their litty curly tails remind me of
your hair. And the way they squeal at their
breakfast meal
Well, I don't miss you cuz I'd swear
you were there.
Well, you'll always be my piglet, even
though I played your dog.
You know, baby, I think of you when I'm
sloppin' the hogs.
Ah, baby, it's true. I think of
you when I'm sloppin' the hogs. Yeah!
Ah, honey, I love your little pushed up
nose!

6. The Day After -
3:28
(Cliff Hagen)
I spent last night like there was no
tomorrow
Doing things that I can't tell,
especially not to her.
For only sorrow would occur when I walk
through that door because
Today is the day after what I did the
night before.
It seems a man like me should have
known better
But doing bad seems better when you
know you might get caught.
I never gave one second thought to who
I do adore, and now
Today is the day after what I did the
night before.
She knows I'd never hock my wedding
band to buy myself a drink
But if she knew what I did do she'd be
gone before I blinked.
Now, I know you smell trouble.
Well, it's all that and more because
Today is the day after what I did the
night before.
Well, it's true I had a good time it's
one night I won't forget
But the best time that I ever had could
be my worst regret.
Cuz I know she'll be waiting when I
come through that door because
Today is the day after what I did the
night before.
She knows I'd never hock my wedding
band to buy myself a drink
But if she knew what I did do she'd be
gone before I blinked.
So I think I'll stay quiet, or I might
hit the floor because
Today is the day after what I did the
night before.
And I'll pay today, the day after what
I did the night before.

7. Baby I Love You
- 3:20
(Ronnie Shannon)
If you want my lovin' if you really do
Well, don't be afraid, baby. Just
ask me
You know I'm gonna give it to you.
Oh, and I do declare, I want to see you
with it.
Stretch out your arms little girl
you're gonna get it.
Cuz I love you. There ain't no
doubt about it, baby, I love you.
I love you! I love you! I
love you! I love you! Baby, I love you!
If you feel you wanna kiss me
Well go right ahead, I don't mind.
All you got to do is snap your fingers,
and I'll come running' I ain't lying'!
Oh, what you want? Little girl
you know you got it.
I'd deny my own self before I'd see you
without it.
Cuz I love you. There ain't no
doubt about it, baby, I love you.
I love you! I love you! I
love you! I love you! Baby, I love you!
Some day you might want to run away and
leave me sittin' here to cry.
But if it's all the same to you, baby,
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye!
Baby, I love you! Baby, I need
you! Baby, I want you! I got to have you,
baby.
Don't let your girlfriends tell you I
don't want you.
Don't let your neighbors tell you I
don't need you. Oh, I love you!

8. So What - 3:15
(Cliff Hagen)
We had a good love for so long.
It seemed so right, but it was wrong.
The way you did me, honey, sure could
make a man feel bad
Especially since it seems that we've
lost everything we ever had. But...
CHORUS: So what? Why do you
think I care?
And who do you think you are, to tear
our tangled hearts apart?
But so what? It ain't no big
deal. How did you think I'd feel?
Now that you're gone and I'm alone, so
what?
You took my heart and threw it down for
some new guy in some new town.
You mentioned that I haven't asked you
things like where and when.
And if you're wondering why I don't,
well let me tell you this, girlfriend
CHORUS
And where do you get off by saying he's
the bigger man?
And who do you think you're fooling
when you say he does more for you than I can?
But...

Would Jesus Work For Amway - 3:41
(Cliff Hagen,
Johnny Holm, Pam Holm)
He was smiling shaking hands, he knew
it was his time to win.
When he knocked upon my front door I
thought, "Should I let him in?"
He said, "I want to help you. You
can jump on board our team."
He said, " I have the vehicle.
Just tell me, what's your dream?"
Well, he sounded so convincing.
There was truth in what he said
When he stated, "We're together.
Do you want butter on your bread?"
Well, I couldn't help but wonder if
what he said was true.
And I had to stop and ponder, so now
let me ask you...
CHORUS: Would Jesus work for
Amway? Would He go direct or bust?
Would He tell you, you can do it!
If only you will trust in Him
And all these things you dream of can
all be yours today!
Cuz there's a pyramid up to heaven if
you'll distribute Amway.
So I stopped and started thinking about
the rich man who was poor
And the poor who have great wealth, but
do not ask for more.
If I knock, they say I shall receive
just what I'm dreaming for.
But would Jesus work for Amway if they
knocked upon His door?
CHORUS
Yeah, there's a pyramid up to heaven if
you'll distribute Amway.

10. The
Fool In Love With You - 3:48
(Cliff Hagen, Leland Harding III)
I saw you on the street today with some
guy that I've never seen.
You looked so happy when you kissed him
on the cheek. In his arms you would never leave.
I was just passing by, my dinner break,
I thought I'd catch you in time.
Well, I caught you in the arms of
another man. Now, I'm the fool in love with you.
CHORUS: Yes I'm the fool, the
fool in love with you. And I'm the fool
The fool that said, "I do." For
better or for worse, worse is how I feel.
Now, I'm the fool in love with you.
She said she'd never leave me blue.
I wish those words she spoke were true.
Now, I lay here with a cold, cold
heart, one that's broken and torn apart
in the back of a white Cadillac, now,
I'm the fool in love with you.
CHORUS
For better or for worse, worse is how I
feel. Now, I'm the fool in love with you.

11. Born On The
Bayou - 4:40
(John C. Fogerty)
Now, when I was just a little boy,
standing to my daddy's knee
My pappa said, "Son, don't let the man
getcha and do what he done to me.
Cuz he'll getcha! Lord, he'll
getcha right now."
And I can remember the 4th of July,
running through the back woods bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog
barking, chasing, down a hoodoo there.
Chasing down a hoodoo there.
Born on the bayou. Born on the
bayou. Born on the bayou, Lord.
I wish I was back on the bayou, rolling
with some Cajun queen.
Wishing I was a fast freight train,
just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans.

12. I Can't
Help It If I'm Still In Love With You - 2:46
(Hank Williams)
Today I passed you on the street, and
my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love
with you.
Somebody else stood by your side, and
you looked so satisfied.
I can't help it if I'm still in love
with you.
A picture from the past came slowly
stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so
close to you.
Then suddenly I got that old time
feeling.
I can't help it if I'm still in love
with you.
It's hard to know another's lips will
kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
.
Oh, heaven only knows how much I miss
you.
I can't help it if I'm still in love
with you.
I can't help it if I'm still in love
with you.

How Mountain Girls Can Love - 1:54
(Ralph Stanley, Carter Stanley)
CHORUS: Get down boys, go back
home, back to the girl you love.
Treat her right, never wrong. How
mountain girls can love!
Riding the night in the high cold wind
on the trail of an old lonesome pine.
Thinking of you, feeling so blue,
wondering why I left you behind.
CHORUS
Remember the night we strolled down the
lane? Our hearts were gay and happy then.
You whispered to me when I held you
close. We hoped that night would never end.
CHORUS (2 Times)
