We're in a world of trouble, now isn't that a shame,
Go down to the city now people, 'cause the streets are all in flames.
You know what I've been sayin', you didn't hear the wake up call, oh no,
There ain't no doubt about it, well the writing's on the wall.
The world is in confusion, we don't know which way to turn,
Things are gettin' so bad, I wonder will we ever learn?
You know what I've been sayin', you didn't hear the wake up call, oh no,
There ain't no doubt about, well the writing's on the wall, oh yea.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
You know what I've been sayin', you didn't hear the wake up call, oh no,
And there ain't no doubt about it, well the writing's on the wall.
What can we do about it, well the writing's on the wall,
What can we do about it, well the writing's on the wall, oh yea-hey-yea.
Oh yeah! The writing's on the wall...

Baggy suit and flashy tie, blue of knuckle, red of eye,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
He'd sell his mother for a quid, rumour has it that he did,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
He used to be his father's pride, 'til he spent a year inside,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground,
Iron fists, a head like a boulder - a friend like that is good to have around!
At the club he's set to pounce, girls to chat and boys to bounce,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.
Oy!
{Erik - Solo}
Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground,
Iron fists, a head like a boulder - a friend like that is good to have around!
(Wide boy), wanna buy a stereo?
(Wide boy), heard you got a truckload!
(Wide boy), need a color TV too.
(Wide boy), I'm in a spot of trouble,
I need assistance at the double,
(Wide boy), it's good to have a friend like you.
Never rich and never poor, (never poor)
Just a step outside the law, (outside the law)
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy,
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy.

Room 57 in the midnight hour,
I'm fresh out of coffee and the cream turned sour.
I'm thinkin' 'bout the people I've been talkin' to,
Been here a long time and nobody knew.
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.
What a shame, what a shame,
What a shame, what a shame.
Good music on the radio,
A whole lotta people don't wanna know.
They say that black is black and white is white,
You can't cross over 'cause it don't seem right.
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.
What a shame, what a shame,
What a shame, what a shame.
{Rod - Solo}
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.

My brain is cloudy and my eyes are sore,
I told myself I wouldn't drink no more,
A bad hangover's something I can't stand,
But here I am with a jug in my hand.
Whoo - whoo, trouble, trouble,
Worries on my mind,
Goin' down to the cellar,
Get some of that mellow wine.
I seem to ruin everything I touch,
People say it's cause I drink too much,
I tried to kick it but it ain't no use,
Guess I'm a slave to that mellow juice.
Whoo - whoo, trouble, trouble,
Worries on my mind,
Goin' down to the cellar,
Get some of that mellow wine, yea.

Trouble in my way, trouble in my way,
Only the darkness can ease the pain,
Only the shadows hide my shame.
Standin' in the rain, standin' in the rain,
Look at the people drivin' home,
I'm so tired of bein' alone.
Oh I know, yes I know trouble in my way.
Give me one more chance, give me one more chance,
I'll tell you something you're bound to hate,
Maybe tomorrow will be too late.
Trouble in my way, trouble in my way,
Only the darkness can ease my pain,
Only the shadows hide my shame.
Oh I know, yes I know trouble in my way.
Trouble in my way, trouble in my way,
Trouble, trouble in my way.

Change a cool, cool man into a nervous wreck, baby,
That's what love can do.
With a heart of gold chained around your neck,
Doesn't mean love's not for you.
Though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance.
The night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance.
Make an old man young, make a young man old,
Baby that's how love can be.
Change a hard rock heart into a jelly roll,
While your warm blood starts to freeze.
When you start to love, you feel a change of personality.
You used to be so mad, but now how crazy can you be?
And now you're stumbling like a jailbird on the run,
Love arrests you and you don't know what you've done.
I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river, honey, that's what love can do.
Well, you wake feeling good, but you sleep so bad,
And you keep cryin' all the time.
To your friends' concern, you tell 'em I'm not mad,
But you think that you've lost your mind.
Though it don't come easy, take it honey, this may be your chance.
The night goes on forever, when you're lookin' for romance.
I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, baby, cry you a river, honey, that's what love can do.
{Instrumental}
And now you're mumblin'and you don't know what you're saying,
You feel so worried 'til she looks your way again.
I ba-ba-babble like a tongue-tied man, honey, that's what love can do.
I talk sweet talk no one can understand, now baby, that's what love can do.
I shake and shiver, honey, cry you a river, baby, that's what love can do.
I ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-babble, honey, that's what love can do
U-oh, U-oh, that's what love can do...
That's alright mama, that's alright for you,
That's alright mama, anyway you do.
Well that's alright, that's alright,
That's alright now mama, anyway you do.
Well I'm leavin' town now baby, I'm leavin' town for sure,
Then you won't be bothered with me hanging 'round your door.
Well that's alright, (that's alright) That's alright, (that's alright)
That's alright now mama, anyway you do.Uh huh huh. Play it now.

I just talked to my baby on the telephone,
She said stop what you're doin' and come on home.
Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone.
She said, " Baby don't you worry, you're my heart's desire,
You know I love you baby, can't stand to see you cry."
Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long,

She said, "Daddy don't you hurry, if you walk or fly,
You know I'll love you baby now, until the day I die".

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the things that you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen why I should forget
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, yea yea
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
I don't know why she treat me so bad
After all the things that we could've had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
I want to know, won't you tell me
I'd love to stay, I'd love to stay
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground
Hold me, love me, please me, squeeze me
Oh, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take no more
Take me to the river, wash me down
Please my soul, put my feet on the ground

Take it or leave it, now the choice is up to you.
Can't wait until tomorrow, tomorrow may be too late,
Take away the sorrow, I can't wait.
Take it or leave it, can't I make you understand?
If you can believe it, you hold the future in your hand.
If the choice was up to me girl, you would stay by my side,
Our world would be a free world, ain't no lie.
If our love was in vain, who's gonna help me hide the pain,
Lonely days, lonely nights, without you girl, it's just not right.
Oh it's just not right, whoa.
{Rod - Solo}
Take it or leave it, I can't wait another day,
I got love if you need it, won't you tell me right away.
Losin' track of all the hours, Hours run into days,
My mind is running out of power, you got me in a haze.
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it,
Got love if you need it, whoa, take it or leave it.
Baby I want to know, I've got to know,
Now if you need my love, tell me right now.
Oh yea, tell me right now, yeah, yea,
Lonely days, lonely nights,
You know baby, it's a- it's just not right.

Who's that stranger walking out in the cold?
Standing on the corner with his Kodachrome roll?
He may be a psychopath, he's acting so strange,
Lying to himself, saying nothing has changed.
He stares across at a house on the block,
Trying to find the courage to go over and knock.
What will he say when they open the door?
"This was my home, but it ain't no more."
He can't get Brixton, out of his system.
It seems so pathetic, yeah, but it's hard to forget it.
Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.
Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.
Who's that Peeping Tom climbing the wall?
Staring at the back yard, he's gonna fall.
He looks so suspicious, I should called the law,
I wish I could remember where I've seen him before.
Sunrise to sundown, stumbling through London town.
He acts like he's stranded, but that's how he planned it.
Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
Jump into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.

Wind tearin' through the backstreet, I hear the rhythm of my heart beat,
Rain blowin' to my face, I'm tired of being in the wrong place.
Blues knockin' on my back door, I can't jump from the second floor,
Turn up the radio higher and higher, rock and roll music set my ears on fire.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
Laid off work and I can't be free, I need some rock 'n' roll therapy.
Put on a 45 and let the needle ride, jukebox jumps and I'll be satisfied.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
Oh, let me ride on your mystery train, ride through the night in the pourin' rain.
Rock and roll in my soul, got me losin' control, let it roll!
Stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through,
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.

(Stone blue) I'm tired of bein' in the wrong place.

When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.

Got nowhere to go, you got nothin' to do,
Just killin' time, but it's killin' me too,
Too much sorrow and too many tears,
You've been lonely for too many years.
Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride, whoa.
Lost all your money, now where are your friends?
You burned all your candles at too many ends.
Wasted your days, now they ain't worth a dime,
It's easy to see why you're blue all the time.
Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride, yea.

If I could be with you tonight,
I would never let you down.
I would come for you, roll away the blue, speaking words without a sound,
I would never let you down.
Like a shadow in the night,
Time is slowly moving on,
Hours go driftin' by, there's no need to cry, now at last I found someone,
Finally our time has come.
Stay, won't you stay with me?
Take my time and love will set me free.
Stay, won't you stay with me?
Take my time and love will set me free.
All my worry's fade away,
Dreams become reality,
Finding love on time, gave me piece of mind, knowing how real love can be,
More than just a fantasy.
Stay, won't you stay with me?
Take my time and love will set me free.
Stay, won't you stay with me?
Take my time and love will set me free.

I knew from the beginning, what you had in mind,
But I said to myself baby, don't be wastin' your time.
But somehow into the night, things got out of hand,
Before I knew it baby, I was giving my love away again.
Well, I slipped, tripped, fell on your love, you slipped your love on me.
I slipped, tripped, fell on your love, you slipped your love on me, yeah.
Getting hooked on you baby, was the last thing on my mind,
Now you got me wanting you baby, I want you all the time.

Oh yeah! Alright!
I had myself a good job in the city,
Pushin' a pen and talkin' on the phone.
The money was good but the work was such a big drag,
I thought that my brain would turn to stone.
But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, I do,
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, mmm hmm.
They told me if I stayed on for a lifetime,
I'd be an office manager some day.
But my heart was never in the right place,
I only went there for the pay.
But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, mmm hmm,
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, Oh yeah.
Well on Friday, the weekend rolls around,
Saturday, I'm gonna rock this town.
On Sunday, won't have to worry no more,
'Cause Monday ain't so bad when there's no work in store.
I guess the money comes in handy,
It helps me pay the bills and rent.
But if I stay too long on this job,
I'll wonder where my time all went.
But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, doo-bah-doo.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you. Oh come on!
{Erik/Paul Butterfield - Solo}
Whoo!
Well Tuesday, I'll hang out the beach,
Wednesday, this boy can not be reached.
Thursday, I'll stand out in the rain,
When Friday comes, I'll start all over again.
But I ain't gonna work no more, I've got better things to do, you know I do!
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, mmm hmm.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you.
I need a seven day weekend, spend some time with you, oh yeah!

Back in the schoolyard life wasn't so hard, but I couldn't wait to leave.
I left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what I need.
I got into the job line, but there's no work for my kind,
No school tie and no degree, no chance for me.
I found some employment, but still no enjoyment, I worked in a factory.
I picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don't seem enough to me.
The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time,
You came along, the time was right - turned on the light.
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.
Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain.
I spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains.
After this deep depression, I shoulda' learned my lesson
I found you in the nick of time, who'll buy the wine?
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.
{Erik - Slide Solo}
It's hard to act my age now, I'm going through that stage now.
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
Now I don't feel so grown up, 'cause everytime you phone up,
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
(conversation)
{Instrumental}
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood,
yea-ee-ya,
I'm in my second childhood, whoa oh.

I'm back on the road and I ain't gonna stop,
Goin' to roll 'til I'm old, gonna rock 'til I drop.
Out of the smog, headin' into the sun,
I'm goin' to New Orleans, Bourbon Street here I come!
Road fever, wheels turnin' in the rain,
Road fever, fire burnin' in my brain,
Give her the gun, drive like a hurricane.
Got the heat up high, and the radio's on,
Diggin' rock and roll music while we're ridin' along.
Maybe Atlanta, may be Birmingham,
I know where I'm going, God knows where I am!
Road fever, wheels turnin' in the rain,
Road fever, fire burnin' in my brain,
Give her the gun, drive like a hurricane.

Speeding along like a bullet from a gun,
It's a three day ride, we're gonna make it in one.

Remember me, you were a friend of mine,
Restless and young, I'm the one you made love to for the first time.
Now look at you, what you been up to, since I saw you last?
Your hair's a mess, you're half-dressed, you're loaded and you're fadin' fast.
All the dreams, you had of wealth and fame,
You took to the city, what a shame, they're all shattered, now your heart's in pain.
Makin love for a livin', you've given up, all you've got's a heart of stone.
Makin' the most of a sad situation, Paradise Alley's your home.
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
Lookin' back, I still recall the time,
I wonder how in the world was it so easy to be so unkind.
Will you be sorry when you realize the story has to end this way?
Lost in the night, never quite getting used to all the games they play.
You wait in vain, and your heart's in pain,
And dreams are all you have to hold on to.
You're losin' touch and it hurts so much,
To think of all the love I had for you.
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone,
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home, yeah.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone.

For the love of a woman, well many a man,
Has wound up cryin', tryin' to understand.
I've had my share of heartache and pain,
I'm not worried now, I'm not ashamed.
My first time lover I was just seventeen,
We made love and I was lost in a dream.
She said that nothin' would ever go wrong,
I woke up one mornin' - guess what? - she was gone.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
So many nights I spent alone,
Just me and that damn telephone.
Holdin' for love, but waiting in vain,
The same old feelin', and it's drivin' me insane.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
For the love of a woman, I searched high and low,
Hopin' that someday I'd be troubled no more.
I guess I was wrong in so many ways,
Now I'll be in trouble for the rest of my days.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.

I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my babe, she's so fine,
I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my babe, she's so fine,
I love to love my baby, love to love her all the time.
Well I love her, don't you love her, say I love her, do you hear?
I love her, don't you love her, say I love her, do you hear?
Upsets my soul, she whispers sweet words in my ear.
I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, just like a young man should,
She never make me cry, that's why, she's my babe, she's my babe.
Nothin' could be better than to see her in a sweater
and a real tight skirt, that don't fit,
Nothin' could be better than to see her in a sweater
and a tight skirt, that don't fit,
She wants to have fun, people let me tell you that's it!
I love the way she walks, (Strut that stuff)
I love the way she talks, (Vachement bien)
She makes me feel so good, (Feel so good)
Just like a young man should, (Feel so good)
She never make me cry - that's why, she's my babe - she's my babe.
Alright!

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, just like a young man should,
She never make me cry, that's why, oh baby, that's why .....
Talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my baby, not your baby,
Say my babe, she's so f-i-n-e.
I love the way she walks, (Strut your stuff)
I love the way she talks, (Vachement bien)
She makes me feel so good, (Feel so good)
Just like a young man should, (Feel so good)
She never makes me cry, that's why, Oh!
I love the way she walks, (She's so fine)
I love the way she talks, (Feel so good)
She makes me feel so good, (Feel so good)
Just like a young man should, (Feel so good)
She never makes me cry, that's why, she's my baby.

Love you baby and I always will,
Without you, I've just got time to kill,
Day and night, night and day,
I look for trouble, find a sure fire way.
Come back baby, give me give me one more chance, 'cause I love, I love you.
Got me walkin', put me in a trance, 'cause I love you.
Like a prisoner caught in my own own dream,
I used to worry 'bout what might have been.
Love was here, now it's gone,
I found out too late, you're the one.
Come back baby, give me give me one more chance, 'cause I love, I love you.
Got me walkin', put me in a trance, 'cause I love you.
Around midnight my feelin's start to show,
Wind me up 'til I can't take no more.

I was movin' up an old dusty road,
I wasn't botherin' nobody, I wasn't botherin' a soul.
I saw a woman's picture on a wanted sign,
She had the face of an angel and the eyes of a child.
So I moved a little closer, just to dig her face,
I wondered why was it hangin' now, in this lonely place?
There was fine threads hangin' beneath her face, like clothes hangin' on a line.
I said watch out man, 'cause this pretty girl is guilty of an awful crime.
She'll take your love, she'll stand you up, she'll make you feel ten feet tall.
She cuts you down, you hit the ground, you and your heart of gold.
They call her the love, the love rustler, yeah.
They call her the love, love, love, love, love, love, love,
Love rustler, ooh yeah.
So I moved on up, on in to town, just to see if this rustler, if she could be found.
Well lo' and behold, to my surprise, she laid a kiss on me, hotter than a brandin' iron.
She came on tough, and she came on strong,
She cowtied my soul, now I can't leave here alone.
And when she told me to buck, I bucked, she told me to moo, I mooed.
When she told to jump, I jumped, she told me to woo, I wooed.
She ran her spurs into my mind, she rode me in to the ground.
If I had the will or strength, I'd crawl on out of town.
They call her the love, love, the love rustler. Oh yeah!
They call her the love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love,
Love rustler, oh yeah!
They call her the love, love, love, love, love, love,love, love,
Love rustler, oooh!
Oh, the love, the love rustler .... do you feel alright? oh yeah
....Yippy yi yi yi, oh yeah....
C'mon baby, c'mon baby .... Lay that kiss on me now, lay that kiss on me right now,
Whoo! It feels so good! It feels so good!
I'm talkin' 'bout love, love, love - Love, love, love -
I'm talkin' 'bout love, yeah! I'm talkin' 'bout love, yeah!.
I'm talkin' 'bout love, ooh, yeah! I'm talkin' 'bout love, ooh, yeah! Alright.
The love rustler! The love rustler!
She runs her spurs into my mind. I just can't leave her behind.
She makes me feel like - ooh! - she makes me feel like ridin' off into the sunset -
yippie-yi-yi-yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi - yi. Oh yeah!
Ooh! She's so rude! She's so rude! And I'm in the mood for something rude!
I'm goin' to Louisiana, baby, behind the sun,
I'm goin' to Louisiana, baby, behind the sun,
I just found out my trouble's just begun.
I'm goin' to New Orleans, get me a mojo hand,
I'm goin' to New Orleans, get me a mojo hand,
Goin' to show all you women, show how to treat your man.

Woke up with a feelin' this morning,
Feelin' I was next to you.
Can't wait another day, got to get on my way,
And make my dream come true.
Stayed up schemin' every evenin',
Workin' on the master plan.
And I ain't gonna rest 'til I get where it's best,
Right in the palm of your hand.
Talkin' 'bout right there in the palm of your hand.
Let me get close to you,
Nothing else I want to do.
'Cause close to you I'm feelin' alright,
Everything's attracted to the light.
C'mon, c'mon, take me for your lover tonight.
Burned up PCH trying to find you,
They said you were down in FLA.
Got to sell my brand new car,
Got to pawn my guitar and get my ticket today.
And I feel your love start to move me,
Shake me like a ship on the sea.
You're rockin' me smooth and slow,
Now don't ever let me go.
'Cause I love what you're doin' to me,
(Say it again, say it again),
I said I love the way you do it to me, do it.
Let me get close to you,
Nothing else I want to do.
'Cause close to you I'm feelin' alright,
Everything's attracted to the light.
C'mon, c'mon, take me for your lover tonight.

The road that I travel is foggy and wide,
I lost my direction, I'm wanderin' from side to side.
Heart beatin' fast, feet movin' slow,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go, long way to go.
Rough is the road, dark is the night,
I ain't gonna rest 'til I see the big city lights.
Temperature's high, spirit is low,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go, long way to go,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go.
{Instrumental}
I feel so tired, I feel so sad,
I need a rest, but that's too bad, I gotta keep movin'.

I feel so tired, I feel so sad,
I need a rest, but that's too bad.
Pain in my heart, dust in my shoes,
Ache in my body, I got the travelin' blues.

No time to lose, but I sure got a long way to go, long way to go,
No time to lose, but I sure got a long, long, long way to go.

Since you've been gone, I've been holdin' on,
Behind my smile sadness grows.
I tried to hide the pain,
The pain I feel inside, but it shows.
And it's too late to change your mind - we can't turn back the hands of time,
It's too late to change your mind.
I tried and tried, but the feelin' died,
The love we had, it turned to hate.
And now you're gone for good,
I keep on sayin' baby, it's too late.
It's too late to change your mind - we can't turn back the hands of time,
It's too late to change your mind.

He loves another woman, but I love you,
But you love him, I don't know what to do,
When things go wrong, wrong with you, it hurts me too.
You love him more, when you should love him less,
Why sneak up behind him and take his mess?
When things go wrong, wrong with you, it hurts me too, it hurts me too.
Oh, play your heart out.

Standing in the shadows
Waiting for your love light to shine on me
When you're lonely and the pain shows
Call me, I'll be right there to set you free
Walking down a dark road to loneliness
The night has no mercy
I feel a need in me I can't express
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
Come to me, when you're lonely
You need someone to love, let it be me
The way you love me and hold me
Made me realize how sweet love can be
Standing on a backstreet in the falling rain,
Cryin' for mercy, until you come to me and ease the pain
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by

I'll be standing by

You keep on yappin', talkin' 'bout this 'n that,
Well you keep on yappin', talkin' 'bout this 'n that,
Got news for you baby, you're nothing but an alley cat.
Well it's hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver away, yeah... whoo!
Honey hush!
{Rod - Solo}
Turn out the water works baby, they don't move me no more,
Turn out the water works baby, they don't move me no more,
When I leave this town, ain't comin' back no more, no.
So it's hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver away, yea.
Well it's hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver away, yea.
I'm gone!
{Rod - Solo}
Yeah!
Turn out the water works baby!
They don't move me no more.
Honey hush,
Whoo!

It's hard to love somebody, and leave her all the time,
It's hard to be a friend, easy to be unkind,
You treat me like a stranger, and I can understand,
'Cause you're a lonely woman, and I'm a travelin' man, well.
Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye,
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry,
A man needs a woman, to stand by his side,
And I need you, to keep me satisfied.
Well, I hate to see you cry,
Wipe the water from your eye,
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway,
There's one thing you should know,
I hate to see, hate to see you go.
Well if you ever leave me, I'll be the one to blame,
But I never gambled to play a losin' game,
My cards are on the table, I ain't a cheatin' man,
I'm livin' for your lovin', I hope you understand.
Well, I hate to see you cry,
Wipe the water from your eye,
I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway,
There's one thing you should know,
I hate to see, hate to see you go.
All the miles between us, you and I,
All the lonely nights we sat and cried,
Too many to replace, and it's too hard to erase,
I don't know what to do,
Well I don't know what to do, no.
Woo
{Rod - Solo}
Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye,
I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry,
A man needs a woman, I want you to know,
Well I need you, I hate to see you go.

Ridin' on the freeway, where the lights are dim,
My chances of relaxin' are gettin' mighty slim,
I close my eyes and wonder how long it's gonna be,
I know I've got to travel, but the highway's killing me,
Looking out the window, not a thing to see,
Only my reflection staring back at me,
I close my eyes and wonder how long it's gonna be,
I know I've got to travel, but the highway's killing me,
{Rod - Solo - verse}
I get so weary, how can I rest,
The road is rocky and I feel so depressed,
I close my eyes and wonder how long it's gonna be,
I know I've got to travel, but the highway's killing me,
Mmmm...mmmm....mmmm....mmmm

Been ignored and I been abused,
Been mistreated and I've been misused,
Been discouraged and turned aside,
Overloaded when my hand's are tied.
That's the time, when I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand.
{Rod - solo}
Things I do are criticized,
Ripped to pieces and analyzed,
I tell the truth and they call me a liar,
Exaggerator and a magnifier.
That's the time, I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand
Yea!
{Rod - Solo}
There were times when I lived alone,
Lock the doors, disconnect the phone.
I warn everybody, tell 'em not to call,
Complete isolation, I need most of all.
But after awhile I need some company,
I tell my friends, come see about me.
That's the time, when I need a hand - A helping hand, I need a helping hand
{Instrumental}
Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand,
Need a helping hand, I need a helping hand,
I need somebody to stand by me,
I need somebody to stand by me,
Whoa yea
{Rod - Solo}
I need a hand, I need a helping hand,
I need a hand, I need a helping hand,
I need somebody, I need somebody,
I need somebody, hey to stand by my me

It's three weeks now since I've been gone from Texas
I said goodbye to a man who made me well
Everyday I've got to keep on checkin'
May be I'm right, How'm I gonna tell?
I travel by day and I seem all right
But when the dark comes I'm a fly by night
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself
Feelin' down, there ain't no need to worry
Satisifaction always guaranteed
What you want, I've got the right solution
I can give you everything you need
I travel by day and I seem all right
But when the dark comes I'm a fly by night
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself
Woo!
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Just checked in, to number 507,
Here today, tomorrow I'll be gone.
I ain't no saint, I know I ain't no sinner,
But I guess I've done somebody wrong.
I travel by day and I seem all right
But when the dark comes I'm a fly by night
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself,
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself,
yea!

Standing on the bridge, peeking through the crack,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the track,
Must've been the fastest train I've ever seen,
Eyes wide open as I watch that gold machine.
See the train comin' and I heard the whistle blow,
Like a flash of' lightnin', the arrow shinin' gold,
Felt so excited, left my troubles way behind,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the line.
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
Dark clouds rollin', it's another rainy day,
Early in the morning, I have to get away,
Standing on the bridge and I'm feelin' kinda sad,
Line's all deserted and I feel so bad.
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
{Rod - solo}
Yea-ee-yea
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
{Instrumental}
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?
Yea,
Whoo!
Gotta keep rollin'!

Long distance operator try another line,
There's no reply on this one, what a waste of time!
She can't be working, and she can't be in her bed,
She can't be home now, guess I'll drop a line instead.
In my wild days I had a girl on every page,
Now some don't want me and the others are engaged.
My little black book is about to bite the dust,
My telephone bell can't ring through all that rust.
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
Now my one night stands are so hazy,
And my social life is so crazy.
Hey operator, one more call before I'm done,
Forget Yolanda, I know Zelda is the one.
Last time I saw her, she was moving to Hong Kong,
She said she'd love me - 'til the real thing comes along.
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
Now my one night stands are so hazy,
And my social life is so crazy.
If it wasn't for me, my house would be deserted.
If it wasn't for me, I would have someone to hold on to.
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover.
{Instrumental - Dave - Solo}
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover,
I gotta find a full time lover...

When my picture's in a frame, in the Fool's Hall of Fame,
There'll be no one you can blame but me.
She was mean and so unkind, a two-faced woman with a one-track mind,
I was so blind I could not see.
I believed all her lies, and bad alibis,
Yes and everyone was wise, but me.
Now I see that I've been mislead, about everything she said,
Call me a fool and I'll agree.

Sugar lady, be my saviour,
'Cause I'm tired, I've been eight days on the road.
That's right, eight days on the road,
Travelin' through the night,
There ain't no town, ain't no town, ain't no rest tonight.
Broke and busted, standin' on the county line,
I've been traveling eight days on the road.
That's right, well, eight days on the road.
Travelin' through the night,
There ain't no town, ain't no town, ain't no rest tonight, oh.
I'm out here thinkin', thinkin' 'bout what I've done,
That's why, oh that's why, I'm eight days on the road.
That's right, well eight days on the road.
Travelin' through the night,
I'm comin' home, I won't be long, I'll make Birmingham tonight.
{Rod - Solo}
Oh sugar lady, be my saviour,
'Cause I'm broke, busted, I've been eight days on the road.
Hitchhike, I've been eight days on the road.
Travelin' through the night...
There ain't no town, there ain't no town, there ain't no rest tonight.
Comin' home, and I won't be long (Eight days on the road)
Sugar lady don't you do me no wrong (Eight days on the road)
Ridin' on the highway and I'm outta luck (Eight days on the road)
Mmmmm - ooh ooh
I'm makin' it back to you,
Makin' it back to you,
Makin' it back to you,
Makin' it back to you,
Eight days on the road,
Eight days on the road.
Eight days, well, whoo!

Standin' by the window, starin' through the rain,
I built my world around her, now I'm on my way again.
'Cos she's gone, well she's gone,
Well she's gone, well she's gone.
She's taken all my money - she didn't even leave a dime,
Only one thing to do, stay loaded all the time.
Well she's gone, well she's gone,
Well she's gone, she's gone.
I'm gonna get me some wine,
Get high, forget all my troubles,
You know that girl was so fine,
But she's gone, gone, gone.
{Rod - Solo}
Days passin' slowly, nights they never end,
She's right about the future,
I'm left and now I'm lookin' for a woman and a friend.
She's gone, She's gone,
Well she's gone, she's gone,
Well she's gone, yea, yea she's gone,
It's my turn to cry, 'cause she's gone.
