1. DRY COUNTRY



Ah, sitting in the back seat of a low
Ride automobile
We're cruisin' on the outskirts
Lookin' for a two-legged deal

We got a Dry County, can't find no spirits here
Dry County, run for your life out of fear
For things that you cannot find
Across a Dry County line
If the signs say liquor in the front baby
And poker in the rear
All you find is trouble
It's best that you get out of here
You got a Dry County, can't find no vices here
No, no, no, no, no

Dry County, run for your life out of fear
Run for your life out of fear
Can't find no spirits nowhere
For things that you cannot find across
A Dry County line
Ah, L.A. to London, Buzzard Country, New Mexico
Detroit, Atlanta,
There ain't no place that's too far to go
To get away from this

Dry County, can't find no vices here
Dry County, run for your life out of here

Ah, run baby, keep on runnin'
Ah, there ain't no Busch nowhere
For things that you cannot find
Across a Dry County line





2. TOO HARD TO HANDLE



Down south, south of the border
At a new sunrise where the
Workin' woman hates law and order
Ooh, those chaquitas with incredible thighs

Too hard to handle, they're too hard for you
Too hard to handle, they're too hard
They're too tough for you

Small time gambler lays down his money
To play some five card stud
But the big time winner really was the loser
He caught a case of a unlucky love

Too hard to handle
Too hard for you
Too hard to handle

Cause sweet Lolita's hotter than a pepper
You know her pepper's gonna burn you in two

She's a young man's dream, every mother's nightmare
Pure woman through and through
Don't take no chances on hot romances
Such as this one, it may happen to you

Too hard to handle
Too hard for you
Too hard to handle

Cause there's no future with a snake-eyed lover
She's hung up on them ups and downs
But if you're lonely, thinkin' you're the only
Her love's the best, it's the hottest in town, ah yes

Yeah I said
Too hard to handle
Too hard, too hard





3. ON THE RUN



Ohhh
Yes I got off the plane in the pouring rain
And headed down for one more show
Well I jumped in a car with a built in bar
Had another Daniels to go
Well the wheels just a keep on a turnin'
And rode me to the backstage door

Well, little mama (I'm on the run)
Yes, I got no time for you now
Oh, I gotta plan for my crowd (I'm on the run)
I'll see you before the morning sun
And, a spread your love, baby
Aha, cause I'm on the run

Well I was just a little lad, but I sure was game
Oh I loved to hear those people yell
But, uh, back in my room I think I'll dust my broom
It's only an hour I knew so well
She's got legs clean up to her head, man
And I wonder if she's worth the climb

I'm on the run Yes I got some time for you now
Oh, I just played for my crowd (I'm on the run)
And I feel the mornin' sun
And, 'scuse me little mama, yeah,
Aha I'm on the run

Well, it's an early flight and I'm back on this plane
Oh yeah, and I think I'm going insane
My blood is full of booze and I'm ready to cruise
Its funny that I feel no shame
Well she teased me, pleased me, I almost died
She even drained my jelly roll dry

But wait a minute now (I'm on the run)
Yes, I got no time for you now (I'm on the run)
Oh I've got to play for my crowd (I'm on the run)
Yes, and I see the mornin' sun and a
Scuse me little mama, Yes

For I'm on the run
Oh, spread your love
Cause I'm on the run
Oh, scuse me baby, Yes
Cause I'm on the run





4. TRAIN TRAIN



Oh, here it comes

Well, train, train, take me on out of this town
Train, train, Lord, take me on out of this town
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's Memphis bound

Well, leavin' here, I'm just a raggedy hobo
Lord, I'm leaving here, I'm just a raggedy hobo
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's got to go

Well, goodbye pretty mama, get yourself a money man
Goodbye, pretty mama, Lord, get yourself a money man
You take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave if you can
Oh, take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave if you can
Oh, take that train, baby
