Bottles And Barstools

Goodbye was the very easy word for you to say
But then you never cared the way I do
Your love was all that kept me going now that it's gone
Where can I turn but to the only friends I ever knew
Going to back to bottles and barstools these are the favorite tools
Of any lonely fool who needs to forget
They tell me that friends in need are truly friends in deed
And bottles and barstools have never failed me yet
[ piano ]
Well our love can be summed up in 25 words or less
Just another flame that never made a fire
And shoulders to cry on are an easy thing to find
Just look for any set of lights that spell out b-a-r
I'm going to back to bottles and ol' barstools these are the favorite tools
For any lonely fool who needs to forget
Well they tell me that friends in need are truly friends in deed
And bottles and barstools have never failed me yet
Yes bottles and barstools ain't failed ol' Jerry Lee yet ah set me up one more

Breathless

If you love me please don't tease if I can hold then let me squeeze
My heart goes round and round my love comes a tumblin' down
You leave me aaah breathless ah

Cause when you call my name you know honey I burn like a wooden flame

[ piano - guitar ]

Great Balls Of Fire

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
But what a thrill
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

I laughed at love cause I thought it was funny
but you came along and moooooved me honey
I've changed my mind
This love is fine
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Kiss me baby
Mmmm feels good
Hold me baby
Welll I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that you're mine mine mine mine

I'm real nervous but it sure is fun
C'mon baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

(piano solo)

C'mon baby, drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire!

Honky Tonk Wine

Yeah yeah sweet sweet honky tonk wine keeps me out of my mind
All she left behind was some sweet honky tonk wine
While I was out drinkin' and laughin' my woman has home a packin'
And all she left me was a bottle and a note
Sayin' I'm out enjoyin' myself of some of that sweet honky tonk wine
Sweet honky tonk wine keeps me out of my mind
All she left behind was some sweet honky tonk wine
[ piano ]
Well I'm sittin' here feeling empty as that old wine bottle that she left me
Cause I can't hold enough to stop me from thinkin'
That she's out holdin' somebody and a drinkin' that sweet honky tonk wine
Drinkin' that sweet honky tonk wine...
Sweet honky tonk wine...
Sweet honky tonk wine...
Sweet honky tonk wine...
Sweet honky tonk wine...

Keep Me From Blowing Away

Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

Long Gone Lonsome Blues

I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., oh lord!
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry.shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.

I had me a woman who couldnt be true.
She made me for my money and she made me blue.
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,
But my leanin post is done left and gone.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.

Im gonna find me a river, one thats cold as ice.
And when I find me that river, lord Im gonna pay the price, oh lord!
Im goin down in it three times, but lord Im only comin up twice.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue.

She told me on sunday she was checkin me out;
Long about monday she was nowhere about.
And here it is tuesday, aint had no news.
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
Shes long gone, and now Im lonesome blue

Ring Of Fire

Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down and the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
[ trumpet ]
I fell into a burning ring of fire...

The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child oh but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire...
I fell into a burning ring of fire...
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire

My Cricket And Me

I was just thinkin' bout you today and the good times that we've had together
But I can't get through to this find words to say to you darlin' you're so far away
So I'm not cryin' these ain't tears in my eyes
I'm so happy the Killer's dyin' with laughter (think about that)
If you don't believe me I'm over and you see
We're not lonesome my cricket and me
[ guitar ]
Oh your picture reminds me that I wanted to be free
How hurtin' my God I've drove you away my darlin'
But if you'll just come back home you know I'm for sure you'll see
We're not lonesome my cricket and me
We're not lonesome that old cricket and Jerry Lee

Rockin' the boat of love

Stormy sea has got a hold of me
All he had to do was smile at you
You just stopped and started moving around
Rockin' the boat of love

Just a castaway, a-searching for
A beacon light upon the shore
You left me a-drift on stormy sea
Rockin' the boat of love

Never thought I'd ever feel this way
So alone and blue, always missing you
Stormy seas are driving me to drain
Now, baby don't you keep on hurtin' me
Rockin' the boat of love

Oh, I never thought I'd ever feel this way
So alone and blue, Lord I don't know what to do
Stormy seas are driving me to drain
Now baby, don't you keep on your hurting me
Rockin' the boat of love
Rockin' the boat of love
Rockin' the boat of love

Shotgun Man

Well I ain't no double o seven I ain't no double o soul
I'm not the coolest cat around my love needs a Mohair Sam
I'm not the son of the seventh son but I'm a next thing to a son-of-a-gun
They call me shotgun, honey I'm the shotgun man
I may not be an engineer baby but I know how to run your train
I'm no firefighter either but I know how to put out your flame
I'm a man that likes to have fun oh I'm the next thing to a son-of-a-gun
Shotgun honey I'm the shotgun man whoa play it boy
[ horns ]
I can't howl like the howlin' wolf man can't talk that talk like old John R do
I'm the jack of all trades but I bet you now baby I'm a son-of-a-gun
Shotgun, oh they call me a shotgun man let's go now

I ain't afraid I'm not a livin' man up against any of-a them I stand
I know when to fight and I know when to run
Cause I'm a next thing to a son-of -a-gun
They call me shotgun, hey I'm a shotgun man
Alright let's rock it a little now
Shotgun I'm a shotgun man whoa oh I'm a shotgun I'm a shotgun man

Swinging Doors

This ol' smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to
But I gave up my home to see you satisfied
I just called to let you know where I'll be livin'
It's not much but I feel welcome here inside
I've got swinging doors a jukebox and a barstool
And my new home has a flashing neon sign
Stop by and see me anytime you want to
Cause I'm always here at home till closin' time

I've got everything I need to drive me crazy
And I've got everything it takes to lose my mind
And in here the atmosphere's just right for heartaches
Thanks to you I'm always here till closin' time
I've got swinging doors...
