I'm The One
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
You can have any man
But I am the one that you love
Do I have to tell you again
I am the one that you love
You be playing with those pretty boys
But I am the one that you love
I think its time to put away those toys
I am the one that you love
I'm the one (x11)
I am the one that you love
You look so sly when you give me the eye
But I am the one that you love
I don't get it why you won't admit it
I am the one that you love
They say that you're too good for me
I am the one that you love
I'm your ticket to ecstasy
I am the one that you love
I'm the one (x11)
I am the one that you love
You're the best thing in this lame-ass town
You got it going on when you're getting it down
You so fine when your shape is showing
You so hot that you be glowing
I'm the one (x11)
I am the one that you love
Repeat chorus

Devil Lives on Beale St.
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
Devil lives on Beale St
Moved in from out of state
Plays electric guitar
Drives a Rocket 88
Hangs out at a record store
Called the Home of the Blues
Goes to work at a studio
On Union Avenue
Turning out the music
Thats causing kids to dance
I'd like to head on up there
If I only had a chance
Momma said that music
Has put me under a spell
Devil lives on Beale St
He' invited me to hell
Devil lives on Beale St
I do believe its true
I listen to him everynight
On WHPQ
Plays that kinda music
That Momma don't allow
If I could pick and sing like that
I wouldn't be here now
I'd be driving a two-tone Buick
Wearing 30 dollar shoes
Hear myself on the radio
While I take my midnight cruise
Try to be a good boy
Momma knows me all too well
Devil lives on Beale St
And I'm a driving straight to hell
Devil lives on Beale St
And I heard Momma say
If I catch your white butt down there
I will have it hauled away
Then she carried on about how she tried to raise me right
By listening to those Negro blues and staying out all night
I can't keep on the sunnyside
Cuz I can't stand the heat
Going to the city
Where they dance to brand new beat
Mamma gonna find out anyhow
I don't care if you tell
Devil lives on Beale St
And I'm on my way to hell
Tried to a good boy
Momma knows me all too well
Devil Lives on Beale St.
And I'm going straight to Hell

Living on the Eastside
By: Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
Just a another punk named Johnny,
Seen his kind before
Tries to be a loner
But he's so hard to ignore
Its a theme park for losers
And he's the fastest ride
Its great to be young
When you're living on the eastside
Just another chick named Debbie
Sweetheart of the avenue
She got two kids by Johnnie
And a third by God knows who
But she's still looking pretty
And her hopes haven't died
You gotta have a dream
When you're living on the eastside
You gotta have a dream
When you're living on the eastside
Just another punk named Johnny
And a girl named Debra Ann
Just doing what feels good
Anytime they can
There ain't nothing to be sorry for
Nothing to understand
Its just the way it goes
When the lights are low
Turn up that radio
Don't want your momma to know
Johnny joined the carnival
And he's got some new tatoos
Debbie joined the band
Now she gets paid to sing the blues
And they still look pretty
And their hopes haven't died
You gotta have a dream
When you're living on the eastside
You gotta have a dream
When you're living on the eastside

Nothing's Too Good For You
By: Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
Put on your pretty red dress, we're going to New Orleans
Ride around in a carriage like a king and a queen
Oh baby, thats what we do
Oh baby, thats what we do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (chorus)
Honey chile
Nothing's too good for you
When we find a nice cafe
Drink hurricanes and dance the night away
Chorus
Oysters by the dozen, caviar by the ounce
Order off the menu, something I can't pro-nounce
Chorus
Don't ya worry bout the money, honey
We be fine
I been making bank working overtime
So lets drink up, and get us a room
Have an undressed rehearsal for our honeymoon
First verse
Chorus
Ain't that right, momma
Honey Chile, nothing's too good for you
Only the best, baby
Honey Chile, nothing's too good for you

Ain't Nobody Like You
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
You're rare as a seven-sided snow-flake
Sweeter than cane-sugar Mt. Dew
Wise as a college of owls
Truer than the truest of the true
Brighter than Arizona sunshine
Cuter than the cutest petting zoo
You know how to make me love you
I have never seen
There has never been
There will never be
Anybody like you
Never seen anybody
Never found anybody
There's nobody like you
Your eyes are greener than Godzilla
Your heart is bigger than him too
Your strong as a cup of truck-stop coffee
You smell better than Memphis Barbecue
Your voice is like that of an angel
Even when you sing out of tune
You know how to make me love you
I have never seen
There has never been
There will never be
Anybody like you
Never seen anybody
Never found anybody
Never was
Never was
Never was
Never was
Never was
Never was anybody
Ain't nobody like you

Business in Babylon II
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
Grab a meal on the run, a weiner in a bun
You're driving way too fast
To a dead-end job in the middle of hell
Wondering how long it can last
The owner of the place has a plastic face
He's a hundred twenty years old
And he says what you see here stays here boy
You best do what you're told
You best do what you're told
He's got young boy's blood coarsing through his veins
He used to change it twice a year
Now its every 45 days, he knows the end is near
He knows the end is near
Thats how we do business here in Babylon
Thats how we do business here in Babylon
Thats how we do business here in Babylon (Chorus)
It ain't hard
If you ain't got a soul
I wish they'd leave me alone
He's got young boy's blood coarsing through his veins
He used to change it twice a year
Now its every 21 days, he knows the end is near
He knows the end is near
Then he winds up dead
And they slice his head
Scoop out his brain
Upload it to an AI 39K
He's back on-line again
He's back on-line again
Chorus

Daddy's Been Running Hard
By: Lonnie Flemmer
GREB/SESAC
6,000 miles in 7 days
Bloodshot eyes, and an aching head
Daddy, daddy, shut her down
Hate for you to wind up dead
Daddy's been running hard
Daddy's been running hard
Gonna buy us a house with a big backyard
Daddy's been running, daddy's been running (Chorus)
Daddy's been running hard
Daddy drives a semi-truck
Makes a living on the road
Banging gears for a better life
Oh how we miss him so
Chorus
He said after that next load there won't be anymore
Got a for-sale sign on the driver side door
Chorus
Lead
Chorus
Air-horn blast woke momma last night
Face was one big grin
Daddy made it home alright
Hope he never leaves again
Chorus
Daddy's been running hard

I Would Do Anything For You
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
Put you first, myself last
Tell you everything about my past
I would crawl thru broken glass for you
I would do anything for you
I would do whatever it takes
Write "I love you" until my crayon breaks
I'll be good for goodness sake to you
I would do anything
I will do everything
I could do anything for you
I would do anything for you
I want you to tell me
Why you treat me like that other guy
I'm the one who loves you madly
He's the one who made you cry
With all my heart and energy
I will defy gravity
And fly rings around infinity with you
I would do anything for you
Lead
I would do whatever it takes
Write "I love you" until my crayon breaks
I'll be good for goodness sake to you
I would do anything
I will do everything
I would do anything for you
I would do anything
Woah, I'd do anything, baby
I, ooooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. ooh

Psycho In Love
By Lonnie Flemmer
GREB/SESAC
When I come over, slam the door in my face
And treat me like a creature, from outer space
You know what I want, I don't give up
I'm a psycho in love
I'm a psycho in love
I was peaking though your window, like a peeping Tom
When I discovered, you're not a natural blonde
Well, thats alright, you blonde enough
I'm a psycho in love
I'm a psycho in love
If I should carve your intials on my arm
Don't think I'm ready for the funny farm
Come on baby, I'll show you some fun
I'm a psycho in love
I'm a psycho in love
I'm a psycho in love
Lead
The restraining order, won't tie my hands
As I sift through the secrets, in your garbage can
Yeah, put my face in your personal stuff
I'm a psycho in love
I'm a psycho in love
You told the neighborhood watch, I was a dangerous nut
They tied me down, you beat my butt
It turns me on, when you play rough
I'm a psycho in love
I'm a psycho in love
I'm
I'm
I'm

Old Testament Justice
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
In at number six of the top ten commandments
Do not kill because you know it ain't right
Hair standing straight up on the back of a black cat
Someone here is gonna die tonight
I ran out of whiskey
I ran out of patience
Got two bullets and a shiny gun
I'm gonna get me a mess of that justice
Just before the next rising sun
Tonight is the night of Old Testament justice
Who is going to pay the price
Someone here, getting justice
Someone else getting sacrificed
Sacrificed
Top ten commandments don't mention mercy
Top ten commandments don't talk about love
They just rules that are too hard to follow
When I finally had enough
Tonight is the night of Old Testament justice
Who is gonnato pay the price
Someone here, getting justice
Someone else getting sacrificed
Sacrificed
Lead
Still at number six of the top ten commandments
Do not kill because you know it ain't right
Hair standing straight up on the back of a black cat
Someone here is gonna die tonight
Someone here is gonna die
Someone here is gonna die
Tonight
Hair standing straight up on the back of a black cat
Someone here is gonna die tonight

Truckstop Jubilee
By Lonnie Flemmer
Reprobate/SESAC
Coffee really tasted lousy, but the refills were free
Just outside of Nowhere, Oklahoma
At the Truckstop Jubilee
Caught my waitress looking, looking like she wanted me
Then she asked me, "Hey, hon, are you hungry"
I said, "Yes ma'am, but food ain't what I need"
Then she raised her arm
Brushed it across her breast
Un-did the top, button on her dress
Sat in my booth and stroked my knee
Her way of way of saying howdy
At the Truckstop Jubilee
Scored a teener from a tweaker, cause I was fading fast
Laid out a line in the cleanest shit-house stall
Before I gave my brain a blast
Hurried back to ask her, baby "When do you get off?"
She said, "All the time, but that ain't really enough"
Then she raised her arm
Brushed it across her breast
Un-did the next two buttons on her dress
Didn't say a word, she just winked at me
Feeling righteous
At the Truckstop Jubilee
So I popped the age-old question, "Baby, your place or mine?"
She said, "I never did it, in a sleeper before"
I said, "Girlfriend, you're lying"
Morning come, and we had done, what we set out to do
Bleary-eyed, we hugged good-bye
Then she told me, "I like you"
Then she raised her arm
To pull up her dress
And buttoned the buttons to cover up her breast
Caught the last kiss she threw to me
Just outside of Nowhere, Oklahoma
Just outside of Nowhere, Oklahoma
Just outside of Nowhere, Oklahoma
At the Truckstop Jubilee
