Don't take her for granted
she had a hard time
don't misunderstand her
or play with her mind
treat her so gently
it will pay you in time
you gotta know
she's a sensitive kind

tell her you love her
each and every night
you will discover
she will treat you right
if you believe
i know you will find
there ain't nothing like
a senstitve kind

she gets so lonely
waiting for you
you are the only
thing to help her through
don't take her for granted
she had a hard time
you gotta knowshe's a senstitve kind

Just outside of Fort worth Texas one ninetynineThere's a rundown strip of old night clubs Been there for a very long time Head on out towards JacksboroTill you see that neon flashingMan they got it all thereIf you're looking for some action
They got the craps game at the Black CatStrip tease at the DuceOver at the Skyline It's always loud and loose
Hey the winos bummin'Rich folks slummin'Watchout man 'cous the cops ain't going to
The Jacksboro HighwayJacksboro HighwayJacksboro HighwayThere's always something going down

You better watch your back boyYou better cover your betsThe further down that road you goThe rougher it's gonna get
Remember that stabbing at the Peppermint loungeBroken glass and Blood was on the groundYou better forget every thing you see Even if it's murder in the first degree
Out on the Jacksboro HighwayJacksboro HighwayJacksboro HighwayThere's always something going down
Hey the winos bummin'Rich folks slummin'Watchout man 'cous the cops ain't going to
The Jacksboro HighwayJacksboro HighwayJacksboro HighwayThere's always something going down

The taxman came knockin' on my door,
I said I already gave, he said he wanted some more
Then my house burned down on a hot summer day,
When I saw the smoke clear, didn't know what to say,
But come what may, I guess I'll be ok,
I can't complain

Got me a broken leg, actin' like a fool,
Jumped off my balcony and missed the pool
Now my doctor's tellin' me that I'm eatin' too much fat
Sayin' high cholesterol just ain't where it's at
They ask me any day, tell you what I say
I can't complain

My car's a lemom now, it's just broken down,
For the 100th time, I can't get across town
I never got invited to a Grammy show,
If my luck ever changes, I really don't know
Ask me any day, tell you what I say,
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain, no no

It's how you look at it, your attitude
You can't get through life without gratitude
You can always make a list of what 's going wrong,
But your list of blessings will be 2 as long

Don't know if this song will ever make the chart,
Don't know what machines are gonna fall apart
But I know for certain I can talk about the blues
One thing's for sure, you know I paid my dues
Ask me any day, tell you what I say,
I can't complain
I can't complain
I can't complain, no no

Black Cat Moan

Once I had a little girl
Brought a smile into my world
So sweet she had a namecalled her sugar cane

Sugar cane was natural born
Cajun from the country lord
I swear she was the sweetest thingi loved that sugar cane

Sugar cane would go to town
And all the men folk turned around
Makin' eyes they'd want to tryto steal her away from me

But I got my knife and I'd hold her hand
So them boys would understand
Don't mess around I mean it mani love my sugar cane

And then one day she had to leave
And travel far away from me
Lord I was lonesomelike I'd never been before

And then one night I fell asleep
And dreamed she had come back to me
And when I woke next morningyes she's knocking on my door

I said sugar cane
Ya done come back babynever gonna leave again
