1.Can You Take It
I was courting a southern belle
Her daddy was a rich n, too
Sports car outside her door
She was pretty good lookin？ too
You call me up, want me to come over
When the servants are all in bed
And she said,'daddy on a flight tonight
Does that put any ideas in your head？'
I say to her：
Chorus：
Take it all the way
Can you really take it all the way down
Can you really take it all the way down
Down down
Down down down
So we watch a little tv
I drink up the family wine
She said,'youe such a snake in the grass, boy
But tonight youe mine'
But wait a minute, wait a minute baby
Are you tryin？to make a fool out of me
She said,'ie seen men like you, before
Ie got a long family tree'
And she said to me：
Chorus：
Take it all the way
Can you really take it all the way down
Can you really take it all the way down
Down down
Down down down
And i say to myself, 'even a fool like me can be the loving
kind'
Even a fool like me can be the loving kind
Chorus：
Take it all the way
Can you really take it all the way down
Can you really take it all the way down
Down down
Down down down
2.China Girl
China girl, i met you in the sea sand
You touched me with your cool hand
Your perfume in the wind
China girl, your daddy tells you white lies
To keep it from my blue eyes
To know me is no sin
Chorus：
And i won break you, china girl
If you take me into your world
It been my good fortune to find you
China girl
Stolen flowers, are the sweetest in the mornin？the eastern sun
is dawnin？your silk against my skin
China girl, take me to your jasmine place
Cool me with your subtle grace
To know me is no sin
Chorus：
And i won break you, china girl
If you take me into your world
It been my good fortune to find you
China girl
3.Close Enough
I may not be a pillar in my town
Or have the kind of job, you think that i should
I know you see me out runnin？around with a couple of people
You think are no good
Ie tried to clean it up a couple of times, but i a
Backslidin？fool when it comes to walkin？that line

Yeah, that all right, girl, that all right
Chorus：
ause i close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll

When youe looking for me, i hard to find
I know, you don wanna run around with me
With my socks fallin？down, girl, i just poor company

We like to talk about this or that
None of these things really interest me
Hey, that all right, girl, that all right
Chorus：

4.Danger List
Office girls, they pass me by
They don know my name
Put me on the danger list
Just too wild to tame
Take the drinks off of the table
Throw my guitar out the door
Set my sights on some new sunrise
Help my feet to the floor
Chorus：
I ain looking for affection
I guess i need myself a shove
Give me someone i can look up too
Show me someone i can love
Good boys go to heaven
Good girls say their prayers
Me, i don say anything at all
I hope the big man still cares
Touch my soul with your religion
Cut my throat with your spite
Hurt me with your silence, girl
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me tonight
Chorus：
I ain looking for affection
I guess i need myself a shove
Give me someone i can look up too
Show me someone i can love
Don go starin？at me
Makes me feel so insecure
Talk behind my back if you want to
I don hear no more
Take me to my destination
Put me on the plane
Fly me up to heaven, dear lord
Take me home again
Chorus：
I ain looking for affection
I guess i need myself a shove
Give me someone i can look up too
Show me someone i can love
5.Hand To Hold On To
You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That you're cool.........so cool..........so cool.
Say, 'i'munna hold onto that a while and i will and i'll be
tame',
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.
Chorus：
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Don't need to be no strong hand
Don't need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
Havin' good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but
Repeat chorus
And in those hours when you're alone,
And there's nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, 'talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me!' yeah!
Guitar solo
Ohh, yeah!
Chorus
Repeat chorus

8.Thundering Hearts
In these long, hot summer days
Need a way to cool ourselves down
Pop off the top of that chevrolet
Drive through the carwash
Laugh and fall around
Smokin´ the old ducados the old man got down in spain
Eatin´ eggs and french fries on the side
Ride that harley davidson in the hot summer heat
Lord knows that i just love to ride
Go by and pick up that kentucky girl
She knew me when i got my start
Oh yeah, those were diferent days...
Chorus：
In the valley of the thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
Get your crazy hair, girl, right on my face
This old redneck on fire, burnin？up
Give us a kiss, baby, make it on the same place
Humiditys about to drive me all crazy wild
Pretty soon the sun will be goin？down
And this little town will be cool and dark
Forget about heaven. let me stay here forever
Chorus：
In the valley of the thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
Thundering hearts
9.Weakest Moments
Well, i hear you downstairs
Youe foolin？around with your father brother
And your mother gown
All the old heroes keep comin？around
To find you, if youe still at home
So you lie in the sun, watch your body turn to tan
Your skin is oiled with the sweat of a man
He bought you a diamond ring, girl, to wear on your hand
And, baby, he leaving tomorrow
Chorus：
Yeah, il be with you in your weakest moments, uh huh
Yeah, il be with you in your weakest moments
You say you remember when it was your world
And you were mister ruby girl
He gave you dreams and schemes that swirl
Around your head and your body
And when you drink sometimes, you try to liberate
And you stagger in the front yard till you find the gate
That swing on that thin line of love and hate
And baby, just let it go
Chorus：
Yeah, il be with you in your weakest moments, uh huh
Yeah, il be with you in your weakest moments
