Well, the house is rockin', don't bother knockin'

Walking up the street, you can hear the sound
There's some bad honky-tonkers and they're laying it down
Seen it all for years, got nothing to lose
So get out on the floor, shimmy til' you shake somthing lose

Well, the house is rockin', don't bother knockin'

Crossfire (T.Shannon, C. Layton, R. Wynans, B. Carter, R. Ellsworth - ASCAP)
Audio: In Step, SRV Box Set
Video: Pride And Joy, Live From Austin, Texas

Day by day,night after night,
Blinded by the neon lights.
Hurry here, hustlin' there,
No one's got the time to spare.
Money's tight, nothin' free,
Won't somebody come and rescue me?
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire.

Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye.
Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy.
Beggin' a dollar, stealin' a dime,
Come on can't you see that I
I am stranded ,caught in the crossfire
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire.

I need some kind of kindness,s ome kind of sympathy oh, no
We're stranded, caught in the crossfire

Save the strong lose the weak,
Never turning the other cheek.
Trust nobody don't be no fool,
Whatever happened to the golden rule?
We got stranded ,caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded ,caught in the crossfire
Help me.


Tightrope (S.R. Vaughan and D. Bramhall - ASCAP)
Audio: In Step, SRV box set
Video: Live From Austin, Texas

Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath
Knee-deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race
Feel like I'm losing time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face
There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end

I was walking the tightrope, stepping on my friends
Walking the tightrope, was a shame and a sin
Walking the tightrope between wrong and right
Walking the tightrope, both aday and night

Looking back in front of me, in the mirror's a grin
Through the eyes of love I see, I'm really looking at a friend
We've all had our problems, that's the way life is
My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

We've been walking the tightrope, trying to make it right
Walking the tightrope, every day and every night
Walking the tightrope, trying to bring it all around
Walking the tightrope from the lost to found

Walking the tightrope stretched around the world
Walking the tightrope, save the boys and girls
Walking the tightrope, let's make it right
Walking the tightrope, let's do it tonight
Walking the tightrope


Let Me Love You Baby (W. Dixon)
Audio: In Step, SRV box set


Oowee baby, I declare you sure look fine
Oowee baby, I declare you sure look fine
A girl like you has made many a man change his mind

Baby, when you walk, you know you shake like a willow tree
Baby, when you walk, you know you shake like a willow tree
A girl like you would just love to make fool of me

Let me love you baby, let me love you baby
Let me love you little darlin', let me love you baby
Let me love you darlin' till your good love drives me crazy

Let me love you baby, let me love you baby
Let me love you little darlin', let me love you baby
Let me love you darlin' till your good love drives me crazy


Leave My Girl Alone (B. Guy - ASCAP)
Audio: In Step, The Real Deal: Greatest Hits Vol. 2, SRV box set
Video: Live From Austin, Texas

You better leave, you better leave my little girl alone
You better leave, you better leave my little girl alone
Lord, before I get evil, man, and go and do something wrong

You called my house just yesterday
I picked up the extension, and I heard every word you said
Why don't you just go on, man, and leave my little girl alone
Lord, before I get evil, man, and go and do something wrong

You call my house all hours of the night
Let me tell you mister, that's a sure way to start a fight
Why don't you just go on, man, and leave my little girl alone
Lord, before I get evil, man, and go and do something wrong

Wall Of Denial (S.R. Vaughan and D. Bramhall - ASCAP)
Audio: In Step, the Real Deal: Greatest Hits Vol.2, SRV box set


A wall of denial is falling down
Whoa it's fallin' so hard, down to the ground
Never knew something so strong could be washed away by tears
But this wall of denial was just built on fear

We've all had our demons from the garden of white lies
Dressed them, amused them, pulling' wool over our eyes
Go so far as to love them to keep from letting them go
All the while they we're killin' us, but we couldn't let it show

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
We're never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumbling down
Down to the ground

Simple things in life bring the greatest pleasure
A smile, a kiss, a little baby's laughter
It makes no difference if we run away in fear
The little things in life hold us so near

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
Never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
Yeah this wall of denial must tumble down
Down to the ground


Scratch-N-Sniff (S.R. Vaughan & D. Bramhall - ASCAP)
Audio: In Step

They were two lonely folks doin' the do's and don'ts
And got the notion together they'd be happy
Thought they'd lose the crowd and do the mess around
Decided to make it snappy
Just a twist of fate they didn't hesitate
Now they had another party to lean on
She made him jump and sang, he made her share that thing
Looks like they gonna have a ball
Ain't nothin' wrong at all
Whoa, they gonna have a ball

They got to asking what if they had to scratch-n-sniff
To find out what it is they are after
Got the ants out their pants and took the chance on romance
Made some plans to make it forever
Now several years have gone, they're still gettin' along
They know what true love is made of
Now they know that life's a trip, with all it's bumps and dips
They're gonna help one another along
Nothin' wrong at all
Still havin' a ball
Lord they're really gettin' it on

Time is on their side, they've got nothing to hide
Never had no secrets between them
He don't need to accuse her, use her or abuse her
And she feels the same for him
And those vows they made said nothing about slaves
And didn't mention rentining to own
They can take the stand that walking hand in hand
What they got is gooder than gold
Ain't nothin' wrong at all
Whoa they gonna have a ball
Yeah, they really got it all

Love is true heart's desire without it's just a funeral pyre
Got to let your true love grow, it's all you got that's gooder than gold
Let's get it on ya'll


Love Me Darlin' (C. Burnett)
Audio: In Step

Well now tell me darlin', may I have a talk with you
Whoa, tell me darlin', may I have a talk with you
Because it won't be long before our true love will be through

Whoa, tell me darlin', am I right or am I wrong
I said tell me darlin', am I right or am I wrong
I'm determined to know little girl, you comin' home
Come on home baby

Now now listen to me baby, while I hold your hand
Don't want anything from you but be your lovin' man
Now tell me darlin', may I have a talk with you
Because the words I have to tell you they will linger through the years
I love you honey
