Nothingville ------------------------------------ (Words & music by Strange - Davis)
Nothingville Only just a two-bit town Where nothing's real They treat me like a country clown
Nothingville I ain't gonna keep-a-hangin' round' The doors keep slammin' in my face People keep puttin' me in my place
It's a rat's race at a snail's pace Nothingville...Nothingville
Nothingville.....

It Hurts me ---------------------------------------------------- (Written by Byers and Daniel)
It hurts me to see him treat you the way he does It hurts me to see sit and cry When I know I could be so true If I had someone like you It hurts me to see those tears in your eyes
The whole town is talking, they're callin' you a fool For listening to his same old lies And when I know I could be so true If I had someone like you It hurts me to see the way he makes you cry
You love him too much, you're too blind to see He's only playing a game But he's never loved you He never will And darling, don't you know he will never change
Oh, I know he never will set you free Because he's just that kind of guy But if you ever tell him you're through I'll be waiting for you Waiting to hold you so tight Waiting to kiss you goodnight Yes, darling, if I had someone like you
Guitar Man ---------------------------- (Words & music by Hubbard)
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash, Left my mama a goodbye note, By sundown I'd left Kingston, With my guitar under my coat, I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis, Got a room at the YMCA, For the next three weeks I went huntin' them nights, Just lookin' for a place to play, Well, I thought my pickin' would set 'em on fire, But nobody wanted to hire a guitar man.
Well, I nearly 'bout starved to death down in Memphis, I run outta money and luck, So I bought me a ride down to Macon, Georgia, On a overloaded poultry truck, I thumbed on down to Panama City, Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars, Hopin' I could make myself a dollar, Makin' music on my guitar, I got the same old story at them all night piers, There ain't no room around here for a guitar man We don't need a guitar man, son
So I slept in the hobo jungles, Roamed a thousand miles of track, Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama, At a club they call Big Jack's, A little four-piece band was jammin', So I took my guitar and I sat in, I showed 'em what a band would sound like, With a swingin' little guitar man. Show 'em, son
If you ever take a trip down to the ocean, Find yourself down around Mobile, Make it on out to a club called Jack's, If you got a little time to kill, Just follow that crowd of people, You'll wind up out on his dance floor, Diggin' the finest little five-piece group, Up and down the Gulf of Mexico, Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band, Well, wouldn't ya know, it's that swingin' little guitar man.
The TV-special verse:
Well, I came a long way from the carwash, Got to where I said I'd get Now that I'm here I know for sure I really ain't got there yet Think I'll start all over Swing my guitar over my back I'm gonna get myself back on the track I'll never, never ever look back I'll never be more than what I am Wouldn't you know I' m a swinging little Guitar man
Trouble ------------------------------------ (Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)
If you're looking for trouble You came to the right place If you're looking for trouble Just look right in my face I was born standing up And talking back My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I've never looked for trouble But I've never ran I don't take no orders From no kind of man I'm only made out Of flesh, blood and bone But if you're gonna start a rumble Don't you try it on alone Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be So don't mess around don't mess around don't mess around with me I'm evil, I'm evil, evil, evil So don't mess around, don't mess around with me I'm evil, I tell you I'm evil So don't mess around with me Yeah!
