Cold Shot

by M. Kendrid, arranged by Stevie Ray Vaughan

Once was a sweet thing baby, held out her lovin' in our hands
Now I reach to kiss your lips, the touch don't mean a thing
And that's a cold shot baby, yeah, that's a drag
A cold shot baby, I let our love go bad
Remember the way that you loved me, do anything I said
Now I see you out somewhere, you won't give me the time of day
And that's a cold shot darlin', yeah that's a drag
And that's a cold shot baby, we let our love go bad
I really meant I was sorry, for ever causin' you pain
You showed your appreciation, by walkin' out anyway
And that's a cold shot baby, yeah that's a drag
And that's a cold shot baby, we let our love go bad
So sad, too bad, so sad
Don't let our true love run cold baby
 
Come On

by E. King

People talkin' but they just don't know,
what's in my heart and why I love you so
I love you baby like a miner loves gold,
come on baby let the good times roll
Let the good times roll,
come on it soothes my soul
Oh let the good times roll,
come on, come on, come on
A lot of people live in make believe,
they keep a lot of dirt up their sleeve
My love baby ain't the kind to fold,
come on baby let the good times roll
Let the good times roll,
come on an' let it roll
Ah yeah, let it roll, come on, let it roll
Our lovin's nice if it's understood,
it's even nicer when you feel so good
You got me flippin' like a flag on a pole,
come on sugar let the good times roll
Oh let the good times roll,
come on let it roll, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on and let it roll
 
Couldn't Stand The Weather

by Stevie Ray Vaughan

Runnin' through this business of life,
rarely time if I'm needed to
Ain't so funny when things ain't feelin' right,
then daddy's hand helps to see me through
Sweet as sugar love won't wash away,
rain or shine, it always here to stay
All these years you and I've spent together,
all this, we just couldn't stand the weather
Like a train that stops at every station,
we all deal with trials and tribulations
Fear hangs the fellow that ties up his years,
entangled in yellow and cries all his tears
Changes come before we can grow,
learn to see them before we're too old
Don't just take me for tryin' to be heavy,
understand, it's time to get ready for the storm
 
Crossfire

by Tommy Shannon/Chris Layton/Reese Wynans/B. Carter/Ruth Ellsworth

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,
some 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
 
Dirty Pool

by Doyle Bramhall / Stevie Ray Vaughan

True love is gone, I's been played for a fool
True love is gone, I's been played for a fool
I'm turnin' the tables on you
You've been playin' dirty pool
You said you'd call the shots darlin',
all your friends thought that was cool, so cool baby
You said you'd call the shots darlin',
all your friends thought that was so cool
Yeah, when you shot at the eight-ball baby,
I knew you were playin' dirty pool
They say that life, life is a game of give and take
They say that life, life is a game of give and take
I'm tellin' you one thing right now little baby,
I won't be the one to pay for your mistake
 
Empty Arms

by Stevie Ray Vaughan

Your gonna miss me little darlin', the day that I'm gone
Your gonna miss me little baby, the day that I'm gone
Cause I'm leavin' in the mornin', won't be back at all
You have run me ragged baby, your own fault your on your own
You have run me ragged baby, your own fault your on your own
You didn't want me no way baby, 'till that other man was gone
You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
But when all your games are over, you'll be left with empty arms
Low down and dead, and all alone
