song list next song Stevie Ray Vaughan: Letter S Stevie Ray Vaughan: Greatest Hits Taxman
(G.Harrison)
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.

(S.R.Vaughan, D.Bramhall)
Woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone
I was missing you oh so bad
Wish I had you here to hold all I've got is this touch-tone phone
So I guess I'll give you a call

Operator help me please get thru to my baby way overseas
Time's a wastin' oh so fast
Hello baby tell me is that you I don't know what we're gonna do
But for now I'm glad I got you on the line

Well it feels so fine knowing you're all right
But you're miles away lord it's not the same

Well I woke up this morning I was all alone saw your picture by the telephone
I've been missing you baby oh so bad
I love you baby with all my might come on home and squeeze me tight
Long distance lovin's gonna drive me out of my mind

song list next song previous song Vaughan Brothers: Family Style Tick Tock
(J.Vaughan, N.Rodgers, J.L.Williams)
"One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength
And began helping one another
Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way"

The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
The tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumblin' down

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future
Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me
The worst of enemies became the best of friends

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Remember that, remember that
Remember that, remember that

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
song list next song previous song Stevie Ray Vaughan: Greatest Hits Stevie Ray Vaughan: In Step Tightrope
(S.R.Vaughan, D.Bramhall)
Caught up in a whirlwind can't catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race
Feels like I'm losin' time at a breakneck pace

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge
Thank God it never found me would have been the end

(I was) walkin' the tightrope steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tightrope (it) was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right
Walkin' the tightrope both day and night

Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin
Through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is
My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends

We've been walkin' the tightrope tryin' to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around
Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found

Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope do it do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope
song list next song previous song Stevie Ray Vaughan: In The Beginning Stevie Ray Vaughan: Couldn't Stand The Weather Tin Pan Alley
song also known as Roughest Place In Town
(R.Geddins)
Went down to Tin Pan Alley....See what was going on
Things was too hot down there....Couldn't stay very long
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I heard a woman scream....Yeah and I peeked through the door
Some cat was workin' on Annie with a....Lord with a two-by-four
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Livin' for their whisky, wine, and gin
I heard a pistol shoot....Yeah and it was a .44
Somebody killed a crap shooter cause he didn't....Shake, rattle, and roll
Hey hey hey hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
All the people down there....Killin' for their whisky, wine, and gin

I saw a cop standin'....with his hand on his gun
Said "This is a raid boys....nobody run"
Hey, Hey, Hey....Alley's the roughest place I've ever been
Yeah they took me away from tin pan alley
And took me right back...to the pen
