Well, she's handsome
She's got everything a woman could need
And she'll dance some
She can't follow cause she only can lead
But she's built good
She never missed a day of school
And her eyes could
Make you stop to feel like a fool
Hey, she go big time
Always got her hand in the pie
She drinks good wine
Never had a reason to cry
She don't smoke much
Always got a natural high
But you can't touch
She'll shake you up so much
That you'll die
She's so good, she's no good at all
She's so good, she's no good at all
Hoochie koochie lady
Trying to beat Park Avenue
Hoochie koochie lady
Trying to beat Park Avenue
Nnnnnnow-now
Let me tell you, she's handsome
She got everything a woman could need
And don't you know that she'll dance some
She can't follow cause she only can lead
But she's built good
But she never missed a day of school
And her black, black eyes could
Make you stop to feel like a fool
She's so good, she's no good at all
She's so good, she's no good at all
She's a hoochie koochie lady
Trying to beat Park Avenue
Hoochie koochie lady
Trying to beat Park Avenue
Oh yeah!
Hoochie koochie lady
Hoochie koochie lady
hoochie koochie lady
Yeah, hoochie koochie lady

From here to there
Isn't any reason
Plain and simple
How I can't recall anymore
Would be misleading
Lead me on
Hell and Fire burning higher
Now I can see the ever after
Clock is moving only
While I see you down here me in laughter
Never more
Clutching to a bundle in the night
Nobody knows
Leaping dogs of winter on the fight
And everyone goes
Clutching to a bundle in the night
Nobody knows
Those leaping dogs of winter on the fight
And everyone goes
I'm standing in the shadows now
You think I'm dead and gone somehow
When the morning comes
You'll see around
Baby you know

Give it to me
'Cause everything will be alright
Rolling, rolling, rolling, yeah
Everything will be alright.
These old boots will keep me walking
To a place I long to be
High upon a mountaintop
Down in Tennessee
Said goodbye to New York
Country living on my mind
Crowded streets and hot cement
That's what I left behind
Well, just outside of Oakridge
About a 15 minute ride
Well, all I need is clean fresh air
To keep me satisfied
Satisfied
Big city living got me on the run
Big city living got me on the run
Dixie Lee Junction

Gambler, gambler
Chicken in the first degree
Gambler, gambler
Chicken in the first degree
I never been a gambler
So please don't messin' me
Hey, jury, jury
I tell you story, true
Ah, listen, jury, jury
Tell you story true
The jury found me guilty
Don't know what to do
I was playing in Boston
Say, up in old St. Lou
Surrounded by the FBI
For something I didn't do
Now my baby left me
Left me all alone
Judge said, "Son, you ain't going home"
Gambler, gambler
Chicken in the first degree
Well, I've never been a gambler
So please don't messin' me
Oh, no, no, no
Oh, gambler, gambler
Chicken in the first degree
