Track listing

All songs composed by the bandleader, Charlie Daniels, except where indicated:

Side one

1. "Texas" - 3:04
2. "Willie Jones" - 3:14
3. "Franklin Limestone" (Tom Crain) - 5:40
4. "Evil" - 2:53

Side two

1. "Everything Is Kinda All Right" - 5:11

3. "Birmingham Blues" - 4:43
4. "Damn Good Cowboy" - 4:35
5. "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day" - 3:31

There has been some confusion with the credits for the song "Birmingham Blues" that Charlie Daniels wrote for this 1975 album. In 1977, Jeff Lynne also wrote a song called "Birmingham Blues" for his band, Electric Light Orchestra's album, Out of the Blue, and now Allmusic shows the 1975 Charlie Daniels song as being co-written by Lynne[2] (but not the other way around), which is nonsensical.
