These Wheels Papa George Woke up to a howling wind I never felt a day so cold I’ve grab my coat Put on my hat Time to fill up the tank I headed out, I gotta get my fix, 9 points 3 more then I’m done Life is short, there a long road ahead Put some butter on my bread Get it together, I’m gonna weather the storm Slipping n sliding, there ain’t no hiding Watch out for that right turning You can smell that rubber burning These Wheels keep on turning And I know, there’s nothing stopping me now These Wheels, they keep me going As long as I got fuel She’s Kicking like a mule I ran into, an old; friend of mine He said, that is a one fine good-looking ride I said, Step right in, and hold on tight Soon enough we’ll be right outta sight Get it together, I’m gonna weather the storm Slipping n sliding, there ain’t no hiding Watch out for that right turning You can smell that rubber burning These Wheels keep on turning And I know, there’s nothing stopping me now These Wheels As long as I got fuel She’s Kicking like a mule

BLACKJACK WRITER: PAPA GEORGE © Papa George I had a night on the Blackjack It didn’t do me no good I tried beating the system There ain’t a hope in hell If I’ve been cheating It’s on my heart and soul Another night on the Blackjack Another night on the Blackjack Another night on the Blackjack Didn’t do me no good I thought I had me a winner I turned over an ace And then the Queen of Diamonds She put a smile on my face Well I’m in business I need to break the bank Another night on the Blackjack x3 Didn’t do me no good Wasted all my money Wasted all my time I’m gonna need a doctor To straighten out my mind When the night is over And all the chips are down I’ll need a four-leaf clover Quit my foolin’ around If I’m a born loser Will I ever learn? Another night on the Blackjack x3 Didn’t do me no good I’ve wasted all my money I’ve wasted all my time I’m gonna need a doctor To straighten out my mind When the night is over And all the chips are down I’ll need a four-leaf clover Quit my foolin’ around If I’m a born loser Will I ever learn? Another night on the Blackjack (repeat to end) Didn’t do me no good

HEARTACHE N' PAIN 04:01

Heartache And Pain Papa George I seen it on the TV I heard it on the radio They say a change is coming But I don’t think that’s so Looking back on history There’s always been Heartache and Pain, heartache and pain Take a look at that poor man He’s got holes in the soul of his shoes Trying to make an honest day pay To keep from getting the blues Deep down inside, he can’t hide Heartache and pain, what a shame, Nothing but heartache and pain Again and again, heartache and pain, On a street corner Make a deal if you wanna take an order It’ll get into your bloodstream Could be your son or daughter But deep inside, there’s nothing but Heartache n’ pain, once again Heartache and pain Solo The grass always look greener No matter which side your looking from But it ain’t any sweeter You’re right back to where you came from Looking back on history There’s always been Heartache and pain Page 1 When your blood runs hot And your soul bleeds cold Don’t matter if you’re young No matter if you’re old Page 2

Heading South (Papa George & Ian H Hunt) © I’m on the road and I’m driving to new horizons I’m running late and the sun’s gone down You hitch a ride and I have to stop and get ya Don’t really care if your halfway bound Said I was heading south for the summer She said, take me away from these city lights I’ve had enough of the rough stuff I’m setting out to find, my own peace of mind Heading south to find sunshine I’m driving night and day, through the southern summer All my troubles they’ve been left behind I can’t believe I could ever feel this way I’m feeling better as the towns go by I said I was into staying in town all winter But you, can’t be right baby every time So now I’m rolling to stop myself from going Out my mind, all that wasted time Heading south to find sunshine, headed south!

Bad Boy Papa George There’s a bad boy, On the prowl Out for a good time, play the music loud He don’t care what’s in his way He might steal some other man woman away Bad boy You might think he’s fun You might think he’s so kind Better watch out now, he might just lose his mind Just when you think it’s safe and sound Look over your shoulder he might be around Bad boy, nothing but a bad boy Worried ‘bout your mind is breaking Don’t have to blow all your making Somewhere there’s a game changing Whatcha gonna do you bad boy He’ll make you laugh, might make you cry Just wanna live he can get you high He don’t care if he breaks the law One things for sure, he’s coming back for more Bad boy, nothing but a bad boy He gets out, He can’t change the way he do for you Solo.... (Repeat) Worried bout your mind is breaking

Missing You Papa George Missing you, so much I can’t even hold your hand to touch How long, must I wait It ain’t nothing but a heartache Long days n’ lonely nights I’ll do anything just to make it right I’m just a man, feeling blue Missing you and your loving too 40 days n’ 40 nights Im doing nothing but killing time Locked down, in isolation An understatement with this situation A worried man, is all I am I’m doing the very best I can Missing you, so much All I want is your loving touch Like a story that got no end Going around a never ending bend Where it leads to I don’t know Tumbling down like a rolling stone No shelter from the pouring rain A little sunshine in my life again Waiting for the storm to pass I could use a little helping hand Last night, I couldn’t rest Been putting me thru the test What am I gonna do I say it again I keep missing you Missing you, missing you....

Late In The Evening Papa George It’s late in the evening And I’m still thinking about you Yes I do every day and every night too That’s what the man needs And that’s I can’t stop thinking about you It’s early in the morning I got a whole lotta trouble, on my mind Love can be so unkind Time after time after time after time And I can’t stop thinking about you Well I know it high time I need to find my way This is my life, and I just gotta say Spent a lifetime And I can’t stop thinking about you It’s early in the morning And I’m still worrying about you Solo I know it won’t be easy To get on with my life I’m still worried and blue

Deep Blue Papa George/Dan Clarke Cold heart but the blood runs hot Can make you lose your mind Next thing you know You beg to see your doctor Taking pills all the time I don’t think I can take it no more I don’t think I can take it no more My body’s aching my blood runs thin Talk to my next of kin Got this fever and the night is long , Baddest of the bad My breath is short lungs are tight On the edge of going mad I don’t think I can take it no more I don’t think I can take it no more My body’s aching my blood runs thin Talk to my next of kin
