Dooley, was a good looking fellow,
never was alone,
never sang that Led Zepplin song...
Been A Long Time Since I Rock And Rolled!
The girl's naive, you caught her eye,
she don't even know why!
Dooley, won't you leave that girl alone?
Weird things running around her brain,
Good Lord, she's going insane!
Dooley, won't you leave that girl alone?
Well Dooley,
Don't you take that girl away from her man!
Well Dooley,
That girl's the only thing he understands

She's got the greenhouse blues
She's got the greenhouse blues
Water is in her shoes!
She's got the greenhouse blues
Lord, help her!
She's got the greenhouse blues!
The board she broke,
the water came down,
it soaked her pants,
now she's wearing her a frown!
She's got the greenhouse blues
She got the greenhouse blues
Bless her heart,
She got the greenhouse blues!
The board she broke,
the water came down,
it soaked her drawers,
now she's wearing her a frown!
She got the greenhouse blues
She got the greenhouse blues
Bless her heart,
She got the greenhouse blues!

I need a Facebook page, with lots of friends,
the one I got's falling off again,
I need a Facebook page, that really rocks!
Well, the more friends I have, the better I feel,
Though half those people I would like to kill!
I need a Facebook page, that really rocks.
I think this year I'll be a millionaire,
with a fleet of bimmers, and a golden lair
I'll have a chef, a butler, a maid and a swimming pool!
I need a Facebook page, with lots of friends,
the one I got's falling off again,
I need a Facebook page, that really rocks!
One I got, starting to slide off again,
starting, to lose, all my friends!
music
I'll have friends from all around the world
crazy motherfuckers and beautiful girls!
I'll have a likes, shares, emoji's and all that stuff!
I need a Facebook page, with lots of friends,
the one I got's sliding off again,
I need a Facebook page, that really rocks!

Don't you ride the Jamestowne Ferry
Don't you ride, the boat no more!
She will take you, from the dock boy,
but she won't take you ashore!
I was on the Jamestown Ferry.
Spent the night, out on the road!
Asked the captain, when would we get there?
He said "shut your mouth son, and row!"

Tracy, in the city, behind those city walls.
You now the sun it rises... and it falls.
Chasing, those big dreams,
it ain't as easy as it seems.
You gotta find someone, on whom you can lean.
Searching for the magic dust,
before the strings rust.
You gotta find someone, you can trust!
Tracy, in the city, behind those city walls.
The sun it rises... and it falls.

Nail It Down
04:02

Mamma had the notion, she was headed for the door.
Poppa had an inclination, of sleeping on the floor.
I got out of prison in the fall of '95.
And Christmas was a six-pack, and a beat up TV Guide.
Well my brother lives in Tuscon, with a picture perfect wife!
In a picture perfect house he leads a picture perfect life!
And everyone remarks how the youngest looks like me!
(couldn't be)
I used to have a photo of him, ah, who are you?
They tell you that you can't, go home again.
Mister that's a place, I've never been!
If you happen to see, one of them around?
Pick it up for me! And nail it down... and nail it down... and nail it down.
People in my neighborhood, they're either wrong or right.
And if they catch you walking in the motion sensor at night,
they'll take you to the Wal-Mart, and buy you some new clothes!
And then they'll take you to the balcony to see if white trash floats.
Say that you can't, go home again!
A mister that's a place, I've never been.
And if you happen to see, one of them around?
Pick it up for me! And nail it down... and nail it down.
Operator, I don't remember, her last name.
It started with a Y and ended in the rain.
At night I watch The Wheel of Fortune on my set,
I'm a hoping that some luck my rub off, but it hasn't yet.
Good looking and fancy clothes, fortunate with cash! They don't know
about the hungry, hurting from the last.
Say that you can't, go home again!
Mister that's a place, I've never been.
If you happen to see, one of them around?
Pick it up for me! And nail it down... and nail it down...and nail it down...and nail it down.
