DIXIE
WB and The Geezers
Key: E
Lyrics by William Lake - Music by William Crouch and William Lake
Verse 1:
She had a drop top Lincoln with a big back seat
Baby Blue color that looked so sweet
And a Jesus Saves Sticker on the Back
It was a summer of love in 69
We spent our nights looking at the sky, Running wide getting high and free
Chorus:
Her name was Dixie Dixie
A southern Belle with all the charms named Dixie
Skin as soft as fresh picked cotton
Wild times with her cant be forgotten
I wish I was with Dixie tonight
Verse 2:
She was a Sunday school teacher, but a Saturday night sinner with me
Never a care or thoughts of trouble
We laughed and played like no tomorrow
I wish those southern nights could always be.
Chorus:
Her name was Dixie Dixie
A southern Belle with all the charms named Dixie
Skin as soft as fresh picked cotton
Wild times with her cant be forgotten
I wish I was with Dixie tonight
Verse 3:
Well the days of summer just couldnt last
When the County Draft Board grabbed my ass
And my time with Dixie went
Bye Bye
As the Bus departed I was broken hearted
My eyes well up and the tears just started
As I had to leave my Dixies behind
INTERLUDE:
Look Away, Look Away As I waved bye bye to Dixie
Chorus:
Her name was Dixie Dixie
And In Her Arms I felt the Charms of DIXIE
Skin as soft as fresh picked cotton
Wild times with her cant be forgotten
I wish I was with Dixie tonight, I wish I was with Dixie,
Yeah You know I missed my Dixie, HELL I WISH I WAS IN DIXIE
TONIGHT

Road To No Where
Lyric’s by William Lake Music by William Crouch and William Lake
Chorus:
I’m On the Road to No Where
No Where I want to be
On a Road to Desperation
Just Sorrow, Sadness and Me
Verse 1:
True Love was the Lie She told me
To Lead me to her arms
A Lie of expectations, A Fool to Blind to See
My Heart She has taken, I’m empty as can be
No Goodbyes or Words of Leaving, Cold Kisses, Lies And Deceit
Chorus:
I’m On the Road to No Where
No Where I want to be
On a Road to Desperation
Just Sorrow, Sadness and Me
Verse 2:
I’ve made a bed of sorrow, with tears of misery
Regret my Soul companion, Happy never to be
My Heart She has taken, I’m empty as can be
Cold Kisses, Lies and Sadness is all She’s left Me
Chorus:
I’m On the Road to No Where
No Where I want to be
On a Road to Desperation
Just Sorrow, Sadness and Me
Just Sorrow, Sadness and Me

Bits and Pieces
Lyrics by William Lake, Music by William Crouch and William Lake
Key: D
VERSE1:
Barely a Woman when she did wed
With a two dollar bed and a shotgun shed
Some house hold goods and Her Grandmas pans
Six were born only two would live
Six were born only two would live
Chorus 1:
Dirt poor croppers living on the land
No silver spoon or government hand
Just Faith in God and a piece of land
Their just bits and pieces of who I am…Bits and pieces of who I am
Verse 2:
When the world hit bottom in 29
They did what they could to just get by
Trapped wild game and ran some shine
On the red clay roads of poverty
On the red clay roads of poverty
Chorus 2:
Dirt poor croppers living on the land
No silver spoon or government hand
Just Faith in God and the strength of their hands
Their just bits and pieces of who I am…..Bits and pieces of who I am
Verse 3:
The Lord took Henry at 65
Thelma lived on til 99
Read the good book at the start of the day
And thanked the Good Lord every day
Lived on a Farm til her final day
Chorus 3:
Dirt Poor Croppers living hand to mouth
No silver spoon nor government help
Just faith in God and a piece of land
Their just bits and pieces of who I am….Bits and pieces of who I am
Verse 4:
Time will pass, We leave this Earth
Dust to Dust Like the Good Lord said
On the Red Clay roads of The Georgia woods
The past lives on through all of US
The past lives on through all of US
Their just bits and pieces of who I am….Bits and pieces of who I am

Don't Tell Me You Love Me
Lyrics by William Lake Music by William Crouch and William Lake
Verse1:
When you walked into the Bar and Saw me Dancing on the POLE.
You knew right then.. with every spin.. That you had to take me home
Your friends all told you Baby That the Booze had made you crazy
So don't back out now or scream and shout Cause you ended up with me
Chorus1:
Don't Tell me you love me and Try to change me
On the night we met, you knew right then that I was Crazy as can be
Your Momma told you Baby, What you get with me is me
So Don't tell me you love me and try to change me.
Verse2:
Your Kisses couldn't Tame Me though you tried real hard to Change Me
I Like my Pool and Some Poker too But I'll never Cheat on You
I'm not some HomeMade Project I'm as Redneck as can be
So Let's do some Shots, We'll get real Hot
An You'll spend the night with Me
Chorus2:
Don't Tell me you love me and Try to change me
On the night we met, you knew right then that I was Crazy as can be
Your Momma told you Baby, What you get with me is me
So Don't tell me you love me and try to change me.
Verse3:
You know I'm not a Lawyer, A preacher or a Saint
The Only time I'll wear a Coat and Tie is the day they bury Me
So come on love me Baby, Even though I drive you crazy
Cause when the Bars close down and the Sun Comes Up
I'm Headed Home to You
Chorus3:
Don't Tell Me You love me and Try... to Change Me
On the Night We meet You knew right then That I was Crazy as can be
Your Momma told you Baby. What you get with me Is ME.
So don't tell me you Love me and try to change me
Don't tell me you Love me and try to change me

Week End Angel
Lyrics by William Lake Music by William Crouch and William Lake
Verse1:
Its a sheet of rain in Memphis An the traffics wall to wall
The darkness of the river Is a mesmerizing call
Three more days of truckin Till I make it home again
But DOT is watchin and the road just never ends - LICK 1
CHORUS:
Shes my week end Angel An she wraps me in her Wings
She holds me in her lovin arms An makes me whole again
She lets me hold her halo And fills me with her love
Because 6am on Monday I'm on the road again - LICK 2
Verse 2:
A workin man dont stand a chance - when the Feds keep squeezing him
Just tryin to feed my family - an pay what bills I can
But the days are draggin by - and the miles just stretch forever
her angel smile Beacons me - Till I roll on Home again -LICK1
CHORUS:
Shes my week end Angel An she wraps me in her Wings
She holds me in her lovin arms An makes me whole again

Loaded out of Tulsa - With meat for Boston Town
Then its toll roads up to Bangor - Rollin lobster LA bound
This seats in love with my ass - As the diesel hums it song
My eyes just see the white lines leading to the Stars (No LIck)
CHORUS:
Shes my week end Angel An she wraps me in her Wings
She holds me in her lovin arms An makes me whole again
She lets me hold her halo And fills me with her love
Because 6am on Monday I'm on the road again
I’m on the road again
I’m on the road again

Tell Me A Lie
Lyric's by William Lake Music by William Crouch and William Lake
Verse 1:
I'm tied to the farm I can't walk away
Our Marriage a Shell Just ready to break
YOUR Hollywood Dreams Have stolen you away
And Nothing I have Can Get you to stay
Chorus:
Tell Me A lie . . . Tell Me you Love Me . .
I'll close my eye's . . .Then You turn around
And You Walk away

Our families have lived here a hundred years or more
Our hands and our hearts are tied to this soil
You got Big City lights burning Bright in Your Eye's
And Daydreams of champagne and big limousines
Chorus:
Tell Me A lie . . . Tell Me you Love Me . .
I'll close my eye's . . .Then You turn around
And You Walk away
Verse 3:
You want sidewalks of Glory and Red carpets of Fame
Big Crowds of People Calling Out your name
You can take what you want Including my name
Just leave me a memory To Hold And Embrace
Chorus:
Tell Me A lie . . . Tell Me you Love Me . .
I'll close my eye's . . .Then You turn around
And You Walk away

When the Bottle Calls Your Name
Lyrics William Lake, Music William Lake and William Crouch
Verse 1:
Once he was a cowboy, Who rode the open range
He dreamed of chasing outlaws with John, Roy and Gene
Now he’s sitting there in darkness, watching westerns on TV
Drinking Down his whiskey, As the bottle steals his dreams
Chorus1:
It comes in many faces, White, Brown and even Green
Promise sweet embraces, As it knocks you to your knees
Some people call it heaven, Lord, otherís know its Hell
It starts with just a whisper, When The Bottle Calls Your Name
Verse 2:
She's always been a Princess, Her life was one big Ball
But Her Prince was just a Joker, Phony Crown and all
Now she dances in the kitchen, alone with Misery
an Happy Ever after Starts With just a Drink
Chorus2:
It comes in many faces, White, Brown and even Green
Promise sweet embraces, As it Knocks you to your knees
Some people call it heaven, Lord, otherís know its Hell
It starts with just a whisper, When The Bottle Calls Your Name
PreChorus:
They Sit in Store Front Windows, Like Red Light Prostitute's
Or hide upon that special shelve, You thinks out of view
Some people call it heaven, Lord, otherís know its Hell
It starts with just a whisper, When The Bottle Calls Your Name
It starts with just a whisper, When The Bottle Calls Your Name

Father Time
Lyrics by William Lake, Music by William Crouch and William Lake
CHORUS1:
Father Time can I buy Just a little extra time
I'm not a sinner or a saint just a man that made mistakes
I could use a little time to set a few things straight
Father Time Father Time can I buy just a little extra time
Verse 1
Like the night my Mama passed, I was singing in a bar
So full of myself a so called rising Star
I was listening to applause when she drew her last breath
let me hold my mommas hand and lay my mama to rest
CHORUS2:
Father Time can I buy just a little extra time
I'm not a sinner or a saint just a man that made mistakes
I could use a little time to set a few things straight
Father Time Father Time can I buy just a little bit of time
Verse 2:
Like the night I sold my six string for some whiskey and some pot
The lights of music row had turned me from the truth
I had sold my soul to Nashville and they threw it down a hole
Then I crawled into the Gutter To See How Low I Could Go
CHORUS3:
Father Time can I buy just a little extra time
I'm not a sinner or a saint just a man that made mistakes
I could use a little time to set a few things straight
Father Time Father Time can I buy just a little bit of time
Verse 3:
Father Time Can you sell me just a little bit of Dust
My hourglass is empty an I'm in a little rush
The Days getting DArker I'm feeling Kind of Lost
I thought we had a deal but the clock is just speeding up
CHORUS4:
Father Time can I buy just a little extra time
I'm not a sinner or A saint just a man that made mistakes
I could use a little time to set a few things straight
Father Time Father Time can I buy just a little bit of time
just a little bit of time
just a little bit of time
