THE HUNTER (Jones/Wells/Dunn/Jackson/Cropper) 

They call me the hunter 
'cause thats my name 
pretty little woman like you 
is my only game 

I bought me a love gun 
just the other day 
and I aim to aim it your way 
ain't no use to hide 
ain't no used to run 
'cause I got you in the sight 
of my love gun 

The first time I saw you 
walking down the street 
I said to myself 
Oh! ain't she sweet?

I got my love gun loaded 
with hundreds of kisses 
soon as I pull the trigger
there will be no misses 

Ain't no use to hide 
ain't no use to run 
'cause I got you in the sight 
of my love gun 

Ain't no use to hide 
ain't no use to run 
'cause I got you in the sight 
of my love gun 

The first time I saw you 
standing on the street 
I said to myself 
Oh! ain't she sweet?

I got my love gun loaded 
with hundreds of kisses 
soon as I pull the trigger baby 
there will be no misses 

Ain't no use to hide 
ain't no use to run 
'cause I got you in the sight 
of my love gun 



LOOKING FOR YOU (Byron/Clempson/Butcher)

Did you ever love somebody, who never tried to share
Did you ever talk to someone, who really didn't hear
Did you ever stop to think, is it all in vain
Did you ever love and lose, again and again
YOu gave my life meaning
Made me stop leaning, on everyone
But I'll prove my feelings
Spend my life, looking for you
Spend my life, looking for you
Spend my life, looking for you
Spend my life, looking for you

When you'd gone I got to thinking, what the hell I'd done
And like a stone that's skinking, I was losing everyone
I tried every single way, to get you off my mind
But those years of loving smiles, are something you can't buy
That's why I called on the phone
Hoping, praying, that you'd be home
And it was like you'd never been gone
When you whispered in my ear, I was
Hopeing you'd say that
Help me to stay back
I've learned a lesson that I'll never forget
Spend my life, looking for you
Spend my life, looking for you
Spend my life, looking for you



HOBO (Byron/Clempson/Britton/Butcher/Bath)

It takes an honest man, to admit when he's wrong
I thought by roaming around on my own, I could prove I was strong
But the long cold nights told me one thing for sure
Made me miss my women all the more
But she'd said hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here
Hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here

You get to miss the moans, when they get carried away
I neeeded that moment and I knew there was only one way
I walked into a bar, asked a soak where to score
He pointed to a lady standing right by the door
But she said, hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here
Hobo, hobo, get out of here, get out of here

I knew that I'd made a mistake when I'd said goodbye
And now I was paying the price, and the costs were high
So I went back to my women to apologize
Asked if I could come back, and with tears in her eyes
She said, hobo, hobo, come inside, come inside
Hobo, hobo, come inside, come inside



SEASONG (Byron/Clempson)

Sailing awy, leaving today
On a midnight honeymoon
I'm so glad, you're happy

Sailing away, starting today
We'll be together soon
I'm so glad, you make me happy

'Cross the sea I hear our favorite song
Telling me, we're getting closer now
I feel at ease, I know it won't be long
So hold on, 'cause I love you

Ain't nothing to do, just lay here with you
On a midnight afternoon
I'm so glad, you're happy

'Cause when you give me your heart
The waters will part
And we'll sink into the great unknown
We'll both be glad, we made us happy

'Cross the sea I hear our favorite song
Telling me, we're getting closer now
I feel at ease, I know it won't be long
So hold on, 'cause I love you

Sailing away leaving today
On a midnight honeymoon
I'm so glad, you're happy
'Cause when you give me your heart
The waters will part, and we'll sink into the great unknown
We'll both be glad, we made us happy

'Cross the sea I hear our favorite song
Telling me, we're getting closer now
I feel at ease, I know it won't be long
So hold on, 'cause I love you

SCARED (Byron/Clempson/Britton/Butcher/Bath)

I can feel you standing near me
I can smell your sweet perfume
Driftin' slowly, driftin' slowly
Across the room
I would love to come and meet you
But each time I try to move
I get so scared

I ain't never seen a woman
Who has filled me with such fear
Other voices turn to echoes
But yours is clear
To just say hello, should be so easy
But each time I try to move
I get so scared

ROCK'N'ROLL (Byron/Britton/Rushent)

I've given my life, to a band on the road
I made my mistakes, and maybe they showed
But I live for today, 'cause tomorrow's far away
And when it comes around, I won't know

For everyday there's been change, and I would not rearrange
Any moment, for the happiness in store
'Cause I dig rock'n'roll, Presley, Cochran, love 'em all
And you got no feeling if you can't yell out for more

Ain't got nothing if you ain't got soul
Ain't got nothing till you rock'n'roll
Ain't got nothing, ain't got nothing
Less you get up and rock'n'roll
