WILD MAN (Demo)

Lyrics:

I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
Swingin' through the trees
With the breeze between my knees
I’m a wild man
A real wild man

What I am is a real wild man
Don’t worry bout nobody
And I don’t give a damn
I’m a wild man

I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
Swingin' through the trees
With the breeze between my knees
I’m a wild man
A real wild man

I stay out doors
Don’t believe in floors
Couldn’t ask for more
I’m a wild man

I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
Swingin' through the trees
With the breeze between my knees
I’m a wild man
A real wild man

I live a life of ease
Only do what I please
It’s no wonder I won’t cease
I’m a wild man

I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
Swingin' through the trees
With the breeze between my knees
I’m a wild man
A real wild man

I’m a real wild one, likin' wild fun
And before it said and done
I’m gonna come unstrung
I’m a wild man

I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
I’m a wild man
Like Tarzan
Swingin' through the trees
With the breeze between my knees
I’m a wild man
A real wild man!

BEEN, BEEN HAD THE BLUES (Demo)

Lyrics:

I been, been had the blues
Been, been had the blues
I don't know about you
But I been, been had the blues

Got my first blues
On the day I was born
It's a hand-me-down world
My pappa did warn

Kept them same blues
For the rest of my life
And I'm probably gonna keep em
'Till the day that I die

Cuz I been, been had the blues
Been, been had the blues
I don't know about you
But I been, been had the blues

Found a pretty little woman
Tried to make her my wife
She broke my heart in two
Gave me nothin' but strife

Baby caught my blues
Never had 'em before
Ain't no big surprise
She don't come around here no more

Cuz I been, been had the blues
Been, been had the blues
I don't know about you
But I been, been had the blues

BOMBED OUT (Demo)

Lyrics:

You used to look good
Used to be fun
Back in the day
What can I say

Now you’re bombed out baby
And depleted all the way

Bombed out baby
Bombed out baby
Bombed out baby
And depleted all the way

We used to talk lots
Used to share thoughts
that all went away
all murky and grey

Now you’re bombed out baby
And depleted all the way

Bombed out baby
Bombed out baby
Bombed out baby
And depleted all the way

You used to live well
Used to be free
But you’re locked away
In a hell that you made

Now you’re bombed out baby
And depleted all the way

Bombed out baby
Bombed out baby
Bombed out baby
And depleted all the way !!!

THE ICE MAN AND THE COAL MAN (Demo)

Lyrics:

Daddy was an ice-man
Daddy was a nice man
Daddy was an ice-man
But momma liked the coal-man too

One day daddy said
Son, I love you
I just wish
That you look like I do

Daddy was an ice-man
Daddy was a nice man
Daddy was an ice-man
But momma liked the coal-man too

Daddy said, son,
I don't blame you
It ain't your fault
What your momma do

Daddy was an ice-man
Daddy was a nice man
Daddy was an ice-man
But momma liked the coal-man too

Daddy then told
There's a coal-man in town
And momma gets happy
When he comes around

Daddy was an ice-man
Daddy was a nice man
Daddy was an ice-man
But momma liked the coal-man too

Daddy then said,
Son, before I'm through
I'll get my hands
On you-know-who

Daddy was an ice-man
Daddy was a nice man
Daddy was an ice-man
But momma liked the coal-man too

Daddy last said,
Someday, son, it'll hit you
The words that I'm sayin'
And the meanin' of it, too

Daddy was an ice-man
Daddy was a nice man
Daddy was an ice-man
But momma liked the coal-man too

CONVERSATION (Demo)

Lyrics:

I walked up to this gal
And laid it on the line
She told me what to do
With those words of mine
I said now baby
Don’t be unkind
Let’s take a step back
And hit rewind

My mouth was on auto
My mind on vacation
I was just lookin' for
A little piece . . . a little piece . . of conversation

So I moved on down the road
And I met another chick
So I started to ramblin'
That’s when she split
But before she dipped
Into me she ripped
Told me I needed
To find a new trip

My mouth was on auto
My mind on vacation
I was just lookin' for
A little piece . . . a little piece . . of conversation

Just a little conversation
To pass the time away
Then I’ll get to feelin' froggy
And be on my merry way

But that’s too much to ask
From some folks, I guess
They just try to unload
Get life’s mess off their chest

My mouth was on auto
My mind on vacation
I was just lookin' for
A little piece . . . a little piece . . of conversation

ALL NIGHT LONG (Demo)

Lyrics:

Started thinkin' 'bout my baby
When I heard that song
Called up my baby on the telephone

Wanna rock it with you, baby
Wanna rock it with you, baby
Wanna rock it with you, baby
Baby, rock it all night long

Dreamin' 'bout my baby
And I could not sleep
Called up my baby at half-past three

Wanna rock it with you, baby
Wanna rock it with you, baby
Wanna rock it with you, baby
Baby, rock it all night long

Lust for my baby
Been 99 days
Called up my baby
Said I’m half-past crazed

Wanna rock it with you, baby
Wanna rock it with you, baby
Wanna rock it with you, baby
Baby, rock it all night long

GATOR WALK (Demo)

Lyrics:

Down in the swamps
Where you can’t see deep
Careful where ya walkin'
When ya crossin' the creek

Gator walk . . . Gator walk
Gator run . . . Gator run
Bein' gator bait ain’t no fun
Better hope you have a gun

Gator drag . . . Gator drag
Gator roll . . . Gator roll
Ain’t no fun drownin' below
Better pray they let you go

Ya never wade up
Where alligators sleep
Cause they’ll wake up
Wantin' sumpin' to eat

Gator walk . . . Gator walk
Gator run . . . Gator run
Bein' gator bait ain’t no fun
Better hope you have a gun

Gator drag . . . Gator drag
Gator roll . . . Gator roll
Ain’t no fun drownin' below
Better pray they let you go

Wanna get ‘cross
A boat’s what ya need
Unless ya tryna help
Them alligators feed

Gator walk . . . Gator walk
Gator run . . . Gator run
Bein' gator bait ain’t no fun
Better hope you have a gun

Gator drag . . . Gator drag
Gator roll . . . Gator roll
Ain’t no fun drownin' below
Better pray they let you gooooooo!
