BACK IN ALABAMA ALBUM (2018)

 

WHEN THE KING WAS TOLD   

 

He was a handsome little fellow

Daddy`s and mommy`s joy and pride

Far from the hood it was well understood

He`s gifted with a care free ride

 

When the King was told    - there`s an error in your game of life

 

Grove Park ain`t for the flimsy

Daydreaming is a waste of time

She never had the look but her brain is like a book

And she`s the first to cross the finish line.

 

When the King was told – there`s an error in your game of life

 

The man bumps into this woman,

He falls in love and he falls hard

He pulls out the roses with all the lameness that it imposes

He flashes diamonds and money cards

Sir I know your kind, you`re here to cut another deal

You`re like the prince on a white horse but in the rain the horse might fall

And I like to keep it nice and clean.

 

 When the King was told – there`s an error in your game of life

 

 

BRAGGIN`

 

Braggin`, braggin`, braggin`

Tell me who you met last night

Post a filtered picture, show everyone you`re looking fine

 

I see you`re a public figure, you have so much going on 

One minute you dine in LA then check in from New York

 

Braggin`, braggin`, bragging`...

 

They say honesty takes you places but the truth doesn`t run the car

When you do as you`re told baby, they let you be the star

 

Braggin`, braggin`, braggin`...

 

I`m trying to find the conclusion, how all this is going to end

If I don`t want to break y`all, do I have to learn to bend

 

Braggin`, braggin`, braggin`...

 

 

 

THANK YOU FOR THE CRUISE

 

Before we all go to heaven why not enjoy paradise

This place is so well made it must be a free gift from God

You know my mom used to say beggars don`t get to choose

I love the life I live, thank you for the cruise

 

Just like a game when the ball`s rolling you move to score

Last time I checked there is no ruling who deserves more

If you want it, go, get it, flying high doesn`t spoil the views

I love the life I live, thank you for the cruise

 

Every minute of my time is too precious to deal with hate

The big brother is undercover looking back at you from the dinner plate

When you finally ready party, somebody`ll get you dancing shoes

I love the life I live, thank you for the cruise

 

 

JOHN McAFEE

 

Here is a tale about a man who found the cure

Or he was the Brain? I guess we`ll never know.

So good with numbers he searched the space

There was no one in the business who could truly operate.

 

He always had them weird habits but that`s alright

Normal is boring for an exceptional mind

While everybody`s thinking he needs a crank

He`d be laughing his head off all the way to the bank

 

JOHN IS THE MAN   - oh, lord he has it all

JOHN IS THE MAN  - Gold diggers digging

JOHN IS THE MAN –  He`s still around kicking

 

If you wanna find a slice of paradise on Earth

See John in the jungle building his own Universe

Hot chicks, cold beer, sunshine all year around

Certified organic happiness by the pound

 

 

KEEP GOING 

 

I`ve been fighting for a long long time

Watching my value go up and down

But I keep going

People ride along then get off in the curve

I wonder is the truth heavier or the nerve

But I keep going

 

Whether it`s the culture or the views

You may practice your power but I will break the rules

And keep going

All these years I haven`t really changed

My arms are open I just tight the range

Keep going

 

Depression might put you into a cell

Now, it`s just another juicy story to tell

I keep going

This water is too shallow for me to drown

My script was written in the name of the crown.

I keep going

 

SASHA SAID

 

I open my eyes in the morning, Lord I`m so tired of dawging

When I think of my job I get sick every time

My baby still sleeping so if I tip toe, kinda sneaking

I might make it and don’t have to listen to her whine

That I always work so late and she miss me from the bed

Where my daddy at? He ain`t home yet? Sasha said.

 

You know I’m a very passionate guy and I`m not going to lie

I`m never against any type of fun

But I`m out six days a week sometimes I do feel mighty weak

I`m not sure I can perform the way she wants

So if I can`t make it I might as well play dead

Where my daddy at? He ain`t home yet? Sasha said.

 

She has to release her frustration when she gets that tingling sensation

And I`m glad to be the one who occupies her mind

God forbids I forget to call to tell her when I’m coming home

That would be the end of me and the rest of mankind

See, I love my baby even when I can`t ignore the threat

Where my daddy at? He ain`t home yet? Sasha said.

 

 

The World Is Mine

 

Look at all these people why they're here

Bernie Madoff must be out on bail

The world is mine...

 

This house used to be empty just me and the dog 

One hit single and now I belong 

The world is mine...

 

Get all the champagne get all the caviar 

Remove the price tag that would be bizarre

The world is mine...

 

Anybody ever loaned me cash 

Come on by it's your birthday bash

The world is mine...

 

 

SOMETHING POPPIN` ALBUM (2017)

 

SOMETHING POPPIN`

 

Way down South something poppin`...

 

Look at that girl she knows how to do the pop

Bouncing and grinding like she`s about to drop

You know when the woman wanna be the hottest topic

Anything you need baby just tell me and I got it

 

Way down South something poppin`... 

 

Once you cross the bluegrass state line

You find yourself in a different world

Once you have a taste of that sweet wine

Your dirty secrets will unfurl

 

Mississippi women are so down to earth 

In Georgia they make my head do a 180 turn

Louisiana ladies know to party overnight 

I wanna fall in love by the Bama oceanside

 

 

SEE ME IN THE COUNTRY

 

See me in the country baby watch me get away from here

See me in the country baby.

This ain`t flying with a Moonchild

This ain`t flying with a Moonchild

 

Recently I noticed I have the hardest time at night

Since I moved to this complex I learned everybody`s plight

Ms Maggie next door has a troubled son named Mighty Pin

When Ms Maggie leaves on the weekend, two young girl stepping in.

 

Frank is a builder secretly chain smokes behind the bush

I pull up the shades in the morning and he goes: “Hello” staring at you

Upstairs there`s Grandma Rose she likes to tell me about her life

I met her 9 grandkids, the dogs and her brother`s second wife.

 

Chorus

 

Downtown living is something I can`t handle anymore

I know the neighbors` daily schedule better than I do my own

I`m gonna get me a truck with a nice lady and tons of beer

Sneak out tomorrow without a trace like I ain`t never been here

 

 

HOW YOU WANT ME TO DEAL WITH THIS 

 

I remember what you told me baby like it was yesterday

You said our love is forever but look at us today

All the things we went through together you let go for another man

I worked day and night for you to give you something special you never had.

 

And you pack up and leave like a stranger, now, what about our baby child

And I should put up with it and move on, but God knows, I don`t know how

I don`t know how...

 

See, I don`t miss you but I miss my own blood that little boy who carries my name

Trust me, he doesn`t like your new love but he can`t tell you that things are not the same 

He doesn`t know how...

 

Let me ask you something baby,

Tell me how you want me to deal with this 

When your man acts like what mine is his

How you want me to deal with this

When your man acts like what mine is his

 

 

YOU CAN`T SAY NOTHING 

 

He`s a man who doesn`t take no bullshit

He`s a man of straight up talk

Momma left him with a good advice though

Shut your mouth and go with the flow

 

YOU CAN`T SAY NOTHING 3X

Stay low until it`s your time

 

What`s all that pride for if you ain`t got money

If you`re unknown in the daily game

You get no respect without power

You get no respect without your fame.

 

YOU CAN`T SAY NOTHING…

 

Life is a mean machine if you don`t know your scene

Don`t bother picking stones when you can run for gold

 

You know you made it when the bank starts calling

You`re the bait coming up next in the line

Your education is your good credit 

But all those loans make you not worth a dime

 

But you can`t say nothing....

 

 

 

I DON’T WANT TO FEEL THE RAIN

 

I`m a long way from home. Nobody sent me here

No invitation either but I finally hoped that plane

I said good bye to mom. I said good bye to dad

I said good bye to my brother, my cousins and all my friends

People, it`s not an easy ride.

Leaving the motherland you knew in your entire life

You do it for a vision you do it for a dream

That one day you become someone and your children will be running free.

 

I DON`T WANNA FEEL THE RAIN 2X

No more crying.

 

It has been 13 years. Kind of up and down.

I learned a new culture and I tried to do what was right

Baby if you hear this song

Apparently I do well without you and my spirit is still going strong

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

No matter who I meet, no matter what I see

No matter how bad it is I turn it around and make it neat.

 

CHORUS 3X

 

Something always tells me to push it even more

The very last minute when I hit the bottom low

And suddenly my luck changes and I`m back at it again

Reminding me of that stubborn man who once hoped that plane.

 

 

TOP MODEL  (IG MODEL)

 

Nobody can match her, her body is her temple

Works hard like a maniac and drives off with a Cadillac

Top Model - I really wanna make her mine

 

Perfection is her middle name, ain`t got no time for little games

You know when she`s in town, everybody shouts it out loud

Top Model - I really wanna make her mine

 

She`s so lit, oh my Lord, she`s so neat

Look at her walking in those six inch heels

Nobody else`s out there quite like her

She`s a one queen army in the rich man`s world

Downtown, uptown, chinatown, germantown

Jammed up, locked out, there ain`t no way to move this crowd.

Back in the days they called her Flat Bottom Nanny

Now she`s gonna shake it like a bowl of sweet jelly

 

 

THREE CHORDS TOO MANY ALBUM (2016)

 

 

APPLE PICKER

 

They call me the Apple Picker, let me lay my head down under your tree  2X

See, I`ve got everything, everything that a woman need

 

I picked an apple in London, England

Two in Memphis, Tennessee

Three down in Alabama

Now, Georgia is waiting on me

 

They call me the Apple Picker, let me lay my head down under your tree

I`ve got everything, everything that a woman need

 

You know the sweetest apple

It`s so hard to reach 

Sometimes you need a well built ladder

To get through all them leaves

 

They call me the Apple Picker...

 

 

DAD`S STORY 

 

My dad was born on a country farm, my dad was born on a country farm

He pulled corn at the age of four

My dad was born on a country farm

 

He was fourteen when the family lost the land, 14 when the family lost the land

With two changes of clothes he left 

For the city when his family lost the land

 

In a city he has never been before, in a city he has never been before

Working day and night saving every coin

In a city he has never been before 

 

He buys his first motorbike, he buys his first motorbike

King of the hill - that`s what he felt like 

When he bought his first motorbike

 

Years go by and he marries the one he loves, years go by, he marries the one he loves

And here I am playing my guitar 

Cause my daddy married the one he loved 

 

Stay strong, God will give what you dream about

Stay strong, God will give you what you dream about 

No matter yellow, green, black or white

God will give you what you dream about 

 

 

GOING BACK SOUTH 

 

I`m going down to the river to sneak up the Memphis Queen

I`m going down to the river to sneak up the Memphis Queen

Captain, captain take me back to Cherry street

 

I`m leaving in the morning, I won`t even lock my door

I`m leaving in the morning, I won`t even lock my door

Landlord, landlord, I won`t be back no more

 

I`m gonna keep on walking till i find my way back South 

Gonna keep on walking till i find my way back South 

People, people, I`m going back where i left my heart

 

 

PLACE A DOLLAR IN MY HAND 

 

Would somebody place a dollar in my hand 2X

Cause this doggone woman took everything I had

 

Would somebody wash all my dirty clothes 2X

Cause she even cut the waterpipe and put all my laundry outdoor

 

Sometimes I wonder will she ever treat me right  2X

I gave her all my lovin` all she do is fuss and fight 

 

Lord have mercy, this woman`s driving me insane 2X

I`m going back to my hometown and get every rich girl on the way 

 

 

THE TALE OF CAPTAIN SIEGAL 

 

The Queen said fine, let him go 

There`s no use if I can`t make him talk

Release him from the tower jail

Give his ship back and let him sail

 

LET HIM SAIL, LET HIM SAIL 

Give his ship back and let him sail 

 

Captain Siegal is truly one of a kind 

Whispers the guard as the door slam-shuts behind 

Everybody in the palace fears of his name 

Many stories`ve been told to gain his fame 

 

LET HIM SAIL, LET HIM SAIL 

Give his ship back and let him sail 

 

His schooner is the fastest in the seven seas

His sword made of the hardest double folded steel

Once he rode a fifty feet humpback whale

So unchain this man and let him sail  

 

LET HIM SAIL, LET HIM SAIL 

Unchain the man and let him sail 

 

Captain Siegal dusts off his gator boots

Dances away under the crescent moon

No one on dry land has ever seen him again 

But when you look across the ocean you might see him sail

 

LET HIM SAIL, LET HIM SAIL 

 

 

ONE LITTLE CUP 

 

Today is a wonderful day, I don`t feel like going through my mail

Power, cable, any different label they want the same

I`m fed up

There is only so much water you can pour into one little cup 

 

Every single time the payment is due it makes me feel like I`m getting the flu

Mortgage, credit, they kill you if you let it and it`s true 

I`m fed up 

There is only so much water you can pour into one little cup 

 

I`m not gonna worry anymore at the end of the day I know the score

I`ll fly away to the Savannah bay and have a ball 

I`m fed up

There is only so much water you can pour into one little cup

 

Let me put on my island shirt, have some cocktail to ease my thirst 

Hayhat, cigar, you may call it bizarre but I`ve been worse

See, I`m fed up

There is only so much water you can pour into one little cup  

 

Finally when the Sun goes down only one thing left on my mind

Her name is Jessie she`s looking very classy in her gown 

And I`m fed up

There is only so much water you can pour into one little cup 

 

Back home the mailbox overflows, the grassman killed the china rose

I burst out laughing, the music is blasting on the shore 

I`m fed up

There is only so much water you can pour into one little cup 

 

 

WEALTHY MAN 

 

Mama got a fancy, sparkly Chevrolet 

Gucci purse and a cocktail dress by Gaultier

Hilltop house with a downtown city view

But she`s unable to furnish every room 

You know she goes home every night by herself 

(oh the poor lady, what we`re gonna do?)

 

WEALTHY MAN, SHE NEEDS A WEALTHY MAN

ANYONE WHO TAKE CARE (OF) HER BILLS

 

Superstar DJ Ross is back in town 

Coming to the Suite Lounge Friday night 

Mama is nervous, you know it is a must go event 

The top one percent is going to represent 

And she desperately needs a listening ear

(by whom? that guy at the bar???)

 

WEALTHY MAN, SHE NEEDS A WEALTHY MAN

SOME SOURCE, ANYONE WHO TAKE CARE THOSE BILLS

 

You know mama always been a two trick pony gal

Temporary heaven, permanent hell   

Some women on high heels can be pretty low 

Special operation on your cash flow 

By the night is over your status may have changed

(and you`re no longer a...you know what?)

 

WEALTHY MAN, SHE NEEDED A WEALTHY MAN 

OR SOME SOURCE, ANYONE WHO TAKES CARE HER BILLS

 

 

OUTDATED CITIZEN 

 

See, I`ve been down so long it seems like up to me 

I`ve been down so long it seems like up to me 

I`m sitting here looking in my wallet, there ain`t nothing left to see

 

I`ve been working so hard, only a little progress made

If I did absolutely nothing I`d be doing just the same 

 

This music used to be all over the radio 

The world has changed so much nothing is the same anymore

I feel sorry for the old, I don`t understand the young

I`m an outdated citizen y`all knocking out the bong  

 

 

SUNSHINE BLUES 

 

Sunshine, Sunshine, shine on me 2X

There`s trouble everywhere I turn, I`m sinking way down deep 

 

See, I lost a friend and I lost a lover. I`ve lost all my money too 

I lost a friend, lost a lover and I lost all my money too 

The bank wants to repo my van, I have to hide in the woods

 

I keep my head up people there ain`t nothing on the ground for me 

I keep my head up people there ain`t nothing on the ground for me

I`ll pull myself together, you just wait and see. 

Wait and see. 

 

 

MOVING ALBUM (2013)

 

SHOOK IT AND BROKE IT 

 

This woman she don`t love me no more 

This woman she don`t love me no more 

Everytime I see her she just weep and moan

This woman she don`t love me no more

 

This woman told me she don`t need a man

This woman told me she don`t need a man 

When she needs a few dollars there she call again

This woman told me she don`t need a man 

 

You know when your woman is not in love 

You know when your woman is not in love 

She stops cooking and clean and make you sit in the dark 

You know when your woman is not in love 

 

How many times you try the same old game 

How many times you try the same old game 

You shook it and broke it there is only yourself to blame 

How many times you try the same old game 

 

 

ON MY WAY TO MEMPHIS 

 

On my way to Memphis it is you I`m thinking of 

On my way to Memphis I won`t sing no lonesome song 

 

I`mma walk down on Union all the way to the Riverside

I`mma walk down on Union with this sweet woman of mine 

I love her, no one but her   4X

 

I hold her hands like a schoolboy, watch every move that she makes

I hold her hands like a schoolboy , watch every step that she takes 

 

Pretty girl, pretty girl why don`t you take this poor man home 

Pretty girl, pretty girl there is no one I want more 

See, I love you no one but you    4X

I love you at day, I love you at night 

When you`re mad and we fuss and fight 

I love you, no but you  2X

 

 

MEAN AND DIRTY 

 

Tell me baby, why you treat me bad    2X

You said you love me but love I never get 

 

I cut your grass and sleep on the floor at night    2X

You want my money but sure don`t want me around 

 

I gave you a child now you kick me outdoor    2X

Everything I do it seems I do it wrong 

 

You`re mean and dirty and I can`t stand your evil ways   2X

Find another man there is no more I can take 

 

 

BOOGIE THROUGH MY TROUBLES 

 

See, I work six days a week 

See, I work six days a week 

Eleven hours straight, I don`t even get a break 

100 degrees in this kitchen and I`m about to faint 

 

See, I`m a stranger, a stranger in this town    2 X

I have no car so I walk whether it`s long distance or short 

Sweating in the summer heat, shivering in the cold 

If I ever get me a ride I`mma drive around the block

To make sure all the neighbours see me when I pull into the lot 

 

People, I ain`t got enough for the rent 

I say people I ain`t got enough for the rent 

I`ll pawn the dining table, the sofa from the den 

It leaves me with nothing but my guitar and the amp

 

I guess it`s alright, everything`s okay 

It`s alright, everything`s okay 

I`mma boogie through my troubles, play the guitar till it pays

I don`t give a doggone thing what everybody say

 

 

LET SOMEONE ELSE DO ALL THE WORK  (cigar box song)

 

See I live day by day

Try to find my own fancy way 

Check to check, bill to bill

Trying to climb upon the hill

Trying to climb upon the hill

 

But this hill looks too high 

I don`t see the top I wonder why 

All these trees block my view

Which way to turn God knows I have no clue

Which way to turn God knows I have no clue

 

One day I`ll be rich, yeah, that day will come 

I`ll have plenty money and I`ll get you some 

We`re gonna cruise all over the world 

Let someone else do all the work 

Let someone else do all the work 

 

 

DEEP BOW 

 

See, the way my life goes so far 

I ain`t got much and I ain`t no star 

It could be better and it could be worse 

Still have a shot or two to ease my thirst 

To ease my thirst 

 

I`m a dreamer and I love to dream 

I keep dreaming till it becomes real 

Sure don`t mind if I tuss and turn 

Just like life sometimes you outta burn 

Outta burn

 

What the future holds I don`t know

A few ups and downs and a few less or more

Quite a journey this is and I should be proud 

I must thank you all with a deep bow 

 

 

ADVICE   (cigar box song)

 

I`m about to hit the road, Savannah bound I go 

I just married the best woman in town 

Her daddy did allow, her mama said alright 

She said she`ll get me if I let her daughter down 

 

So, ocean bound we go, hand in hand we roll

There is nothing I would change about this woman 

Dad did warn me though, watch where the money flow

Her mom said, G, remember what I said  

 

It`s been a few years now and I very much love my wife

You know we`re happy with whatever we have 

My laws and I get along, I try to do nothing wrong 

If I did, I`d go down pretty fast 

 

 

MOVING 

 

In my life, I can`t seem to stop

I pack my things once I had enough 

And keep on moving, moving from place to place

Tomorrow I`ll find my home just like I did yesterday 

 

I`ve been to Greece, Finland too 

Got stuck in London on the overcrowded tube

In Belgrade, I met a girl but I can`t say her name 

Tomorrow I`ll find my home just like I did yesterday

 

I crossed the ocean, I crossed many seas

Flew over mountains, drove by endless cotton fields

Walked in the desert with turban wrapped around my face

Tomorrow I`ll find my home just like I did yesterday 

 

All you great people I met through the years 

We shared joy, we shared blood, sweat and tears 

I`m a long way in Georgia from my sweet Balaton lake 

Tomorrow I`ll find my home just like I did yesterday

 

 

NO MAN IN MY BED 

 

I fell in love with my best friend`s wife

All i wish that she was mine 

But when I look in her eye I see my friend 

And I don`t want another man in my bed  

 

The way she walks, the way she smiles

God knows I can`t control my mind 

But when I look in her eye I see my friend 

And I don`t want another man in my bed

 

She`s the sweetest candy in this store

Beautifully wrapped from head to toe

But when I look in her eye I think of Fred

And I don`t want another man in my bed

 

Fred called me just the other night

We`ve been friends for a long long time 

I love your lady but I feel like I`m trapped

Cuz I don`t want another man in my bed

I don`t want another man in my bed

 

 

FASTEST MAN   (the Lance Armstrong story)

 

Lance was the fastest man nobody could catch

He rode that tiny bicycle all the way to France 

 

2000 heavy miles up and down the hills

He was surely there to win year after year 

 

He`d beat all the big names from all over the world

With a little bit of help he would always finish first 

 

It takes more than hard work to be an all time champ 

It`s not for me to say  he did good or he did bad

 

I could not even ride to the store to get some milk

Watching the race on TV is too exhausting for me 

 

Lance is a troubled man he knows what he`s done 

At the end of the day my friends he`s not the only one  

 

 

SWING IN THE MIDDLE 

 

My pocket is too light people, I ain`t got a lousy dime   2X

I went to the store this morning it was nothing but a waste of time

 

I can`t complain people, I got more than some folks out there   2X

But when the end of the month comes there ain`t nothing left to share

 

My wife called me the other day, baby I need this and that 

I just paid the daycare honey, my wallet is going flat 

I`m out of gas - she said, how I`m gonna get to work 

This life of ours baby is harder than giving birth 

 

I`m gonna cut through in the middle 

Let me swing in the middle baby

I`m gonna cut through in the middle

See, I don`t need nothing fancy y`all

So let me just hang here in the middle 

See, I`ve been down so long, I know that very well 

So, let me cut through the middle, swing in the middle
