Don't Mistake Kindness For Weakness

You've been runnin' in the streets again
But I'd never had a hand on you
I've been a better man this year
Than all the men that you've been through
Don't mistake kindness for weakness
'Cause a little girl, only a fool would stay with you

I tried so hard to please you, babe
I've even turned your lies to truth
I said, I tried so hard to please you, baby
I turned your lies to truth
But when you said were my baby
I think I got to ask you for more proof

Don't mistake kindness for weakness
'Cause your chicken has come to roost
I said, don't mistake kindness for weakness, baby
Your chicken done come to roost
I think another man would be a fool
To try to hang around with you

I'm all done Mister Nice Guy
But I ain't playin' around with your rules
If you think that's liquor talkin'
You better try an' get on back to school
So don't mistake kindness for weakness
Woman you done used up your, your last fool

Head Rag

Here she come, yeah, with that head rag on
There she go, yeah, with that head rag on
Here she come, with that head rag on

If you're walkin' down the street, wavin' everybody see me
Sayin', "Hello there", walkin' in her stockin' feet
Here she come with that head rag on

Stayin' out all night long, talkin' 'bout anything
Doin' everything wrong, girl, oh, oh

Here she come, yeah, that head rag on
There she go, yeah, yeah, with her head rag on
Here she come with that head rag on

The Hawk

I remember when I was snowed in and up at old Shire town
I'm sure the next tour take me right back through that town
Snow was up to your shoulders man and that ain't no lie
Chicago wasn't so cold, it would make a Polar Bear cry

Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk
Now I'm gonna tell ya somethin' that'll make you let out a squawk

Now where I live the weather's mostly warm
We don't have to worry about no snow or if we have a storm
But Shire town sits on the shores of a lake
And when that hawk flaps his wings it make you shiver an' shake

Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk
Man, I'm tellin' ya one thing, they just let out a squawk

But man, you should a been there in the winter of '78'
You couldn't catch a cab down on state and lake
Now, you know that's bad, 'cause that's right in the heart of town
And it was so bad the Mayor had to close the whole town down

Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called The Hawk
Oh man, I tell you, tell you, let out a squawk

Iceman

I'm your iceman, baby, ain't here to cool you down
Yes I'm your iceman, ladies, you'll always know when I'm around
I left Leona, Texas, to heat this coolest place in town

Gonna play this old guitar, mix up some fire with my ice
Yes, I'm gonna play this old guitar, light your fire with my ice
Sometimes it sounds so good to me, I just might play it twice

I'm your iceman, baby, call me Al, if you please
I'm your iceman, baby, I'm so hot I'll probably freeze
I'm gonna whip up a twister, turn tornadoes to a breeze

Yes, I'm your iceman, baby

Travelin' South

Travellin' South, tryin' to work my way back home
I said I'm headed South, tryin' to work my way back home
I'm so broken an' hungry, ain't no money for the telephone

Feet so tired, I think I'm gonna lay down
I say my feet is so tired, y'all, I think I'm gonna lay down
I got another hundred miles before I reach the next town

I'll be glad to leave this town, I ain't comin' back no more
I'll be glad to leave this town, y'all, I ain't comin' back no more
I'm gonna head back down to Texas, that's the only place I know

Travellin' South, tryin' to work my way back home
Travellin' South, tryin' to work my way back home
I'm so broke an' hungry, ain't got no money for the telephone

I'm Beginning To Wonder

I begin to wonder, baby
What's goin' on when I'm not at home
I begin to wonder, baby
I know you ain't there all alone

Every time I have to leave you, woman
I wonder who's takin' my place and turnin' you on

I begin to wonder, woman
Why I worry everyday
I said, I begin to wonder, woman
Wonder why I feel this way

I be home early Tuesday evenin'
Better hide your part-time man away

I begin to wonder, woman
Why we wasted all this time
I begin to wonder, baby
Wonder why we didn't see the signs

What we did, we've now forgotten
What we had, we've left behind
