The doctor man He won't give me Just what I need He can't seem To feel my heart ache Can't see me bleed Needin' freedom From my worries Freedom from myself Doctor man If you won't help me I'll go somewhere else 'Cause it's a Self Medication Nation Want to be free Self Medication Nation Give us what we need Hey doctor man All I need is What science made for me I don't wanna Blow my mind now Just want a little relief So I go down To the local beer store Man I really need 'em Get myself The local gossip and a Six pack of freedom 'Cause it's a Self Medication Nation Want to be free Self Medication Nation - Can't you feel me...bleed__________

Went to the bank and laid down all my dollars Bought a little country cottage down in a hollar An old train runs out back I love to hear it go clickity clack ... Now I live on the Johnny Cash Parkway Yeah I live on the Johnny Cash Parkway In Tennessee, down around Nashville way Well you can hear it by the way I talk And you see it by the way I walk ... That I live on the Johnny Cash Parkway Naw Johnny don't live to far from where I do And I love to hear him sing those country blues So if you ever wanna come around You know where I'll be found ... An old train runs out back I love to hear it go clickity-clack You can hear by the way I talk And you can see by the way I walk So if you ever want to come around You know where I’ll be found ... Baby I live on the Johnny Cash Parkway

Mary Jane 02:04
Mary Jane, I love you so much I feel so good when my lips you touch You smell so sweet and I love your taste Want you so bad I take you in haste Mary Jane, we've had so much fun But I can't believe that I'm still on the run Pretty thing, I don't need you no more I'm tired of being your stupid whore - Mary Jane, get out of my brain - I still love you but, I'm just not the same - Mary Jane, get out of my brain - I can't resist you when you whisper my name Mary Jane, just leave me alone Think I can make it now, all on my own Brain strain, I don't think I'm sane Maybe I love you 'cause you kill all the pain Mary Jane, I've got things to do I might get lost if I'm playin' with you When I see you, out on the street My mouth waters and my will gets so weak - Mary Jane, get out of my brain - I still love you but, I'm just not the same - Mary Jane, get out of my brain - I can't resist you when you whisper my name Hey, hey Mary Jane, get out of my brain... ... ... ...

Night Thing 03:33
She came to me in a day dream Knowing eyes and flowing hair It turned into a Night Thing My heart I began to share She said I walk with Jesus Sent from your god above Baby I am your angel I know you feel my love I said Your love unerves me Don't make me take a stand Angel your loves concerns me I'm not that kind of man As she began to heal me The purpose of her flight She said Do you feel the power God happened here tonight After the purge and crying She lifted up my eyes She said Put your arms around me I'm weary from the night She said Your heart renews me And lets me see the light Baby I am your angel God happend here tonight

I got a back-street rocket It's a hell of a car Flyin' down the highway I might go too far I don't know where I'm goin' But I ain't goin' home Out of this air space To the danger zone Drive on, rock out and get down Rollin' down the runway Flying at the Speed of Sound Leavin' the rat race And the gossip behind Blowin' down the highway Gonna blow my mind I'm lookin' for a party And I'm headin' south When I get there I'm blow it out Drive on, rock out and get down Rollin' down the runway Flying at the Speed of Sound

Well I can Sell some herbs and spices late at night And brew white-lightin' by daylight Keep tryin' workin' for the man Hey I give it all I can but The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong I grew up with this home-grown rockin' band Raised down here in Music City land But we play too damm loud To draw a Nashville crowd The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong - The only thing I do right - The only thing I do right - The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong Settled down with just one woman I quit my shameful cross-town roamin' But I still might go to hell 'Cause I love a jezebel The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong Yeah I can Sell some herbs and spices late at night And brew white-lightin' by daylight Keep tryin' workin' for the man Hey I give it all I can but The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong - The only thing I do right - The only thing I do right - The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong - Yeah, The only thing I do right - The only thing I do right - The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong I try to work and do what's right But I'm so tired of the fight The Only Thing I Do Right Is Wrong

Too Busy 02:54
Well I'm an old man With a young dream But I always forget What it is it seems 'Cause I get Too Busy workin' And Too Busy livin' And Too Busy runnin' a round Well I get Too Busy wanderin' And Too Busy lovin' And Too Busy cryin' out loud Yeah I'm old man With a young dream And one of these days I'm gonna tell you some things I'm gonna write down some words Write down some memories Maybe write down some stories and sing But I get Too Busy workin' And Too Busy livin' And Too Busy runnin' a round Well I get Too Busy wanderin' And Too Busy lovin' And Too Busy cryin' out loud____ I'm Too Busy!

Dual-line, double-pumper, automatic choke A high powered motor man, she's bored and stroked She shifts in the floor and has a low geared rear She's a bad mother trucker and she has no fear Talkin' 'bout my drivin world My hot rod baby is One Fast Girl If you pull up besider her man she'll leave you broke You won't see nothin' but her spinnin' smoke Yeah she jumps right up when I hammer down You can hear her pipes screamin' all over town Talkin' 'bout my drivin world My hot rod baby is One Fast Girl She's tough as steel and she looks so fine She'll always beat you to the finish line Yeah, she jumps right up when I hammer down You can hear her pipes screamin' all over town

I'm a man of the deep south I've got a rebel mouth My truck's almost as rough as me Got a little country shack My grass ain't mowed out back Inside needs a lot of TLC At night I go to town I go honky-tonkin' round I always meet a pretty girl or two But tell me, why do they keep callin' And why do I keep fallin' For those pretty little Yankee Country Girls Oh tell me, why do they keep callin' And why do I keep fallin' For those pretty little Yankee Country Girls Naw I never did stop to ponder About the girls from way up yonder And what would they ever see in me Just an old hillbilly hippie Ain't never been to New York City The South is the only place I care to be At night I go to town I go honky-tonkin' round I always meet a pretty girl or two But tell me, why do they keep callin' And why do I keep fallin' For those pretty little Yankee Country Girls Please tell me, why do they keep callin' And why do I keep fallin' For those pretty little Yankee Country Girls Oh those pretty little Yankee Country Girls Yeehaw

On The Run 03:11
His state quit the union But the enemy has come They've invaded his country Now he's On The Run He won't give in to the oppressor He's still got his father's gun His mother sees him comin' To get his father's gatlin gun She says Oh my god don't do this You are my only son I beg of you my baby Why won't you lay down that gun 'Cause I'm a rebel I'm a rebel On The Run Yes I'm a rebel I'm a rebel On The Run The enemy approaches His hill and that big gun Ten tons of ammunition Sets blazing like the Sun He fights for seven days and nights And when the Reaper comes He goes down with fire in his eyes But now his battle's done And now forever He's a rebel On The Run Oh yes, forever He's a rebel On The Run

Killin' Me 02:40
Ever thing I do is Killin' Me Yeah, ever thing I do is Killin' Me Well it's so hard to quit the smokes And I've been known to take a toke Mama, ever thing I do is Killin' me Rock Strata Ever thing I do is Killin’ Me Yeah, ever thing I do is Killin’ Me But not for the drink of the locals Well I’d be straight-up anti-social Baby, ever thing I do is Killin’ Me Ever thing I do is Killin’ Me Ever thing I do is Killin’ Me From the time I wake at light 'Til I don’t get no sleep at night Hey man, ever thing I do is Killin’ Me (x2) Ever thing I do is Killin’ Me Yeah, ever thing I do is Killin’ Me Like the workin’ that I do And when I get the blues Oh Lord, ever thing I do is Killin’ Me____

Time To Go 02:41
Walked right in Caught you with another man But all I did Was shake his hand 'Cause baby It's time for me to go Ain't gonna worry 'bout you 'Cause baby it's, Time To Go Walked right up Looked you in the eye But all I did was say goodbye 'Cause baby It's time for me to go Ain't gonna worry 'bout you 'Cause baby it's, Time To Go Time To Go, Time To Go Time To Go, Time To Go Ain't gonna worry 'bout you 'Cause baby it's, Time To Go Turned around And packed my bags But all you did was nag, nag, nag 'Cause baby It's time for me to go Ain't gonna worry 'bout you 'Cause baby it's, Time To Go I said I'm gone And you asked me why But all I did was cry, cry cry 'Cause baby It's time for me to go Ain't gonna worry 'bout you 'Cause baby it's, Time To Go I'm gone
