Need No Woman

Lyrics and music by Rowdy Miller

She was a whisky drinking
camel smokin 
deep frying
queen of the south

She kissed her mom and daddy 
and every boy in town with her
sailor mouth

Every Friday night
she slippin out the back door
and headin’ to town

Yeah she lookin’ for a good time and
Never say no
when a cowboy comes ‘round

Jimmy was a South Texas
rough necking
son of a gun 

He did some time up in Huntsville
when the sheriff caught him on the run

but he’s been clean
for a spell now he’s just coming off parole

Yeah life was lookin’ up for Jimmy
until the night he met Jeannie
on the dance floor

Aww hell, here comes trouble
Yeah there’s trouble on the dance floor
Just back up and watch the show
Jimmy and Jeannie
Gonna go go go

Jeannie caught his eye
now they’re dancing
like a house on fire

They were two-steppin’
Dip flippin’
bouncin’ like birds on a wire

Then a crowd gathered ‘round
they were clappin’ and
cheering ‘em on

Ol’ Jimmie didn’t know
Jeannie had a man
who was madder ‘an hell
when he made the band stop the song

Aww hell, here comes trouble
Yeah there’s trouble on the dance floor
Just back up and watch the show
Jimmy and Jeannie
Gonna go go go

Well Jeannie’s man
thought he had the upper hand
Made a fateful choice
That he would take a stand
He stepped up to Jimmie 
Toe to toe
Knocked his hat
On the floor
Jimmie hit him with a country right
and the fight was on
somewhere in the melee
someone pulled a switch blade
Now Jeannie’s man is dead
On the floor
Someone called the constable
But the hall was full
And when they looked around
Two were gone
Aw hell
There goes trouble

Here Comes Trouble

Music and lyrics by Rowdy Miller

I'm not the kind to be told what to do
I ain't never gotta get over you
You know my head is hard as a rock
And I've got a heart that just won't stop

Now I'm drowning in whisky
Hoping that the tears don't find me
Lord let me down easy this time
Until another day is gone
Until another day is gone

I came to Texas 'cause that's what I wanted to do
I wanna make damn sure you know wasn't nothing 'bout you
So you can take back those mean ol' words that you said about me
'Cause truth be told it goes in one ear and out the other

Because I'm drowning in whisky
Hoping that the tears don't find me
Lord let me down easy this time
Until another day is gone
Until another day is gone

There's no time for tomorrow, there's only today
'Cause ain't nothing gonna grow if it don't ever rain

So I'm drowning in whisky
Hoping that the tears don't find me
Lord let me down easy this time
Until another day is gone
Until another day is gone

Until Another Day Is Gone
