It's all behind me
There's good luck up ahead
Can't break what's left of my heart
Once bitten twice shy
I hate to see it all fall apart
First love I had I was seventeen and I was younger
Love to us was some kind of game
And all my letters said I would never forget her
Now I can't recall her name
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Oh Yeah
I was in love one time
I thought it was the real thing
But I kept the feelings to myself
Afraid to show them
Expecting her to know
It's the reason she found someone else
It's all behind me
There's good luck up ahead
Can't break what's left of my heart
Once bitten twice shy
I hate to see it all fall apart
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Oh Yeah
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Oh Yeah
The first time I was a fool
never knew that love could be so cruel
It happened again
Third time lucky
Peverett / Price
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, you say, you're feeling nervous
The least thing makes you cry
Sounds like a real bad case of a girl who needs a guy
I think, I know the perfect cure
The one you ought to try
Take a heart that's full of love on which you can rely
If you need some satisfaction
And if you need a quick reaction
If you're tired of bein' lonely
'Cause I can help you
If you only take this heart of mine
I may not be a doctor who can cure your ill
Prescribe you all those different colored
Hard-to-swallow pills
My remedy is older than the tale of Jack and Jill
My prescription is the kind
You'll love to have me fill
If you need some satisfaction
And if you need a quick reaction
If you're tired of bein' lonely
'Cause I can help you
If you only take this heart of mine
Got a love inside that's pure as gold
Take it's yours to have and to hold
And if you do that baby, as we grow old
Tell the greatest story that's ever been told
If you need some satisfaction
And if you need a quick reaction
If you're tired of bein' lonely
'Cause I can help you
If you only take this heart of mine
Take this heart of mine
Take this heart of mine
Take this heart of mine
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
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
Look out the window, what do you see?
People are living like you ought to be
Forget the past girl, it's hard but it's right
Loosen up baby, 'cause time's getting tight
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride

The way you walk ain't walkin', it's something mama don't allow.
Let your hips do the talkin', and pretend you don't know how.
Ruby red, oh baby blue,
Heaven knows what I can for you,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk.
Stiletto heels in stockin's, trace the seam up to the top.
And you're daring me to touch you, but I won't know where to stop.
A little rude, that's what you say,
It must be hard to keep the wolves at bay,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk.
Zig-zag, well it's my kinda move,
Big drag if I can't cut the groove,
No stone gonna be unturned,
When you're walkin', walkin' and a-talkin',
Baby, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk.
Uh, doin' that walk.
The way we love ain't lovin', don't do nothin' for my heart.
Just a physical attraction, you're the bulls-eye - I'm the dart.
At least I know the way you feel,
Don't care nothing for a love that's real,
When you're out there, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk.
Zig-zag, walk like Marilyn Monroe,
Zig-zag, talk like Brigitte Bardot,
No stone gonna be unturned,
When you're out there, walkin' and a talkin',
Baby, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk.
I said baby, doin' the Zig-Zag Walk,
Doin' that walk...
Mmmm, fontastique!
Ooh la la la!
She's doing that walk
I'm leavin' again, long way to go
It's a sad feeling, we already know
Ticket's bought and the contract's signed
And it's too late to change my mind
I'm leavin' again, help me pack my case
I'll be a long time, in another place
I'm working for something, and it ain't no lie
It should've taken me, a lifetime to buy
{Instrumental}
I'm leavin' again, when the night has gone
So let's make love, while the time rolls on
And time rolls on, to another day
And this time tomorrow, I'll be so far away
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry
Talkin' 'bout Cherry
Wild, wild Cherry
She make love like a wildcat
Roll like a wire-chrome wheel
She tastes so good, wild Cherry
Ooh, she makes me feel
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry
Dressed like raggedy Annie
Red-headed baby doll
Spends her time drinkin' wine
Diggin' that rock and roll
Cherry, wild wild Cherry
She make love like a wildcat
Roll like a wire-chrome wheel
She tastes so good, wild Cherry
Ooh, she makes me feel
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry, whoa
Rock on
You've heard about 8-ball Sally
You've heard of knee trembler Jane
Well, I got a girl, crazy little momma
'Bout to drive me insane
Wild Cherry, wild, wild Cherry
She make love like a wildcat
Roll like a wire-chrome wheel
She tastes so good, wild Cherry
Yes, she makes me feel
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry, yeah
Whoa, that's me
She loves with a natural feelin'
Moves like a lovin' machine
When she gets down
Starts messin' around
Fast lovin' speedy and lean
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry
I told you, she makes love like a wildcat
Roll like a wire-chrome wheel
She tastes so good, ah, wild Cherry
How she makes me feel
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry, yeah, whoa
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry
Cherry, wild, wild Cherry
You know she tastes so good
You know she tastes so good
You know she tastes so good
You know she tastes so good
When I'm talkin' about Cherry
I'm talkin' about Cherry
I'm talkin' about Cherry
I'm talkin' about Cherry
I said wild, wild, wild, wild, wild Cherry
I said wild, wild, wild, wild, wild Cherry
Ah, the way she moves, I love the way she gets down
Cherry
Cherry

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.
{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,
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
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity
The bluebird's gone from the windy city
What a shame, what a shame

Waitin' for the weekend, soon be comin' around.
Hangin' out with my best friend, I'm so glad I found.
My weekday emotions, gonna leave 'em behind,
When we get together, it's crazy time.
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, can't live without,
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, yeah.
Waitin' for the weekend, watch the clock on the wall,
Throw me in at the deep end, hear me when I call.
Workin' week survivor, she's so cool and refined,
But we get together, she's another kind.
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, can't live without,
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, yeah.
Don't matter how far we go, it's back to work on Monday,
The weekend's just another memory, yeah.
{Didgeridoo and Erik - Slide Solo}
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, can't live without,
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, yeah.
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver,
Can't live without, yeah.
I'm talkin' 'bout my weekend driver, yeah.
Yea-ee-yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
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, yeah
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
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
Oh, I know, yes I know trouble in my way
Oh, I know, yes, I know trouble in my way

I got a message from a girl in distress,
She was a prisoner in an apartment address.
But like a hero to the scene of the crime,
I lost my way and there was so little time.
Stood at a bus stop on a cold rainy day,
Tire through a puddle, threw some mud in my face.
No bus arrived so I just crawled into town,
I took my chances on the underground.
Subway station, wall to wall people, I couldn't squeeze onto a train.
In desperation, I looked for a taxi, but, oh, the searching was in vain.
Too late the hero, from ten down to zero.
Too late the hero, why did she say, "Boy, boy you're way too late!"?
She said "Boy, boy you're way too late!"
I caught a train but there was nowhere to sit,
Reached for a strap, I thought I heard something rip,
There on the Central Line, my pants fell apart.
Train broke down and we were stuck in the dark.
Subway tunnel claustrophobia, best suit, wrinkled and damp,
Finally when I crawled up to her door, she said, "Goodbye chump!"
Too late the hero, from ten down to zero.
Too late the hero, why did she say, "Boy, boy you're way too late!"?
She said "Boy, boy you're way too late!"
Did I see someone in the shadow? Did I hear footsteps on the floor?
Did I hear laughter in the background just before she slammed that door?
{Instrumental}
I turned around and I headed home, I was tired, rejected and cold.
Missed the last train, left around midnight, so I walked that lonesome road.
Too late the hero, from ten down to zero.
Too late the hero, why did she say, "Boy, boy you're way too late!"?
She said "Boy, boy you're way too late!"
(Too late, too late the hero) Way too late.
(Too late, too late the hero) Way too late.
(Too late, too late the hero) Way too late,

(Ladies and gentlemen - Howlin' Jim Wolf on the vocals!)
Well rave on baby, don't stop,
I love the way you do the crazy bop.
Three wheel Cadillac - three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Drivin' sideways, ninety-five,
Tell me baby, how you stay alive?
Three wheel Cadillac - she drives a three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Get on the right track baby, don't you treat me so bad.
You know they call you crazy, it must be drivin' you mad.
Three wheel Cadillac - a three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Ooh!
{Erik - Solo}
Drivin' backwards, fast lane,
Gonna wind up in jail again.
Three wheel Cadillac - three wheel Cadillac,
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
{Erik - Slide Solo}
Get on the right track baby, well don't you treat me so bad,
You know they call you crazy, it must be drivin' you mad.

Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.
Lost on the highway, rockin' from side to side.

What kind of woman, makes me feel so good inside?
I try to run, but she won't let me hide.
Got me doin' things, I said I'd never do.
Using my car and my credit cards too.
And yesterday she said to me,
She's tired of ringin' my doorbell, made me give up a key.
'Nother thing about her that's really blowin' my mind,
She ain't no beauty, the love she's got is fine.
Like a cool glass of water when you're thirsty, tired and hot,
The love she gives me, it always hit the spot.
Had to leave other girls alone,
I need everything I got to take care of my home.
There ain't a horse that can't be rode,
There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought,
There ain't no man that can't be caught.
Let me tell you something else.
She changed a tiger into a lamb,
Tell you, her love sure puts this man in jam.
One night stands, my theme was sock it to 'em and run,
Never thought a girl could wrap me all around her thumb.
That's one thing men have in common,
That something is the 'mazing power of a woman.
There ain't a horse that can't be rode, There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought, There ain't no man that can't be caught.
Whoa oh oh oh!
{Solo}
There ain't a horse that can't be rode, There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought, There ain't no man that can't be caught.
I said,
There ain't a horse that can't be rode, There ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed,
There ain't a thing, can't be bought, There ain't no man that can't be caught.
No oh whoa - no oh whoa
There ain't no man, there ain't no man.
You've got me baby, oh you got me baby...

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
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.
{Rod - Dobro Solo}

Well that's alright now momma anyway you do, woo-hoo-hoo,

Anyway baby, (that's alright)
Anyway you do, (that's alright)

Whoa yea, that's alright.

Now momma, (that's alright momma)
Momma, (that's alright)
Woo-hoo-woo, (that's alright mama - that's alright)(that's alright mama - that's alright)
I'm leavin' now baby, (that's alright mama)
I'm leavin' for sure, (that's alright)
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yeah, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby, but still you tell me maybe
That some day, well I'll be through
Yeah, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yeah, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
When cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you'll hold me and you, you tell me boldly
That some day well I'll be through
Yeah, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yeah, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, that'll be the day, yeah, that'll be the day
That'll be the day, that'll be the day, yeah, that'll be the day
Well that'll be the day
Well I feel so lonesome
You'll hear me when I moan
And I feel so lonesome
You'll hear me when I moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane
For you since I been gone?
I'd said, I'll flash your lights, mama
And the horn won't even blow
I even flash my lights, mama
And this horn won't even blow
I got a short in this connection
Way way down below
The coils ain't even buzzin'
The generator won't get that far
All in a bad condition
I gotta have the batteries charged
I'm cryin', please, please don't do me wrong
Who been drivin' my Terraplane?
Mr. Highway man
Please don't block the road
Mr. Highway man
Please, don't block the road
She ran a cold one hundred
Booked and I got to go
I'll get deep down in this connection
Keep on tanglin' with your wires
And when I mash down on your starter
Your spark plug will give me fire
I'm cryin' please, please don't do me wrong
Who been drivin' my Terraplane, I said who, yeah?
Keep on tanglin' with your wires
Cold nights in the city can turn a heart to stone,
I'm still cryin' and you know why I'm out here on my own.
Being here without you, it takes up all my time,
I'm tryin' to forget you, but you're still on my mind.
And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.
I'm in a crowd of people, on this uneasy street,
I'm walking blind 'til I can't see what your love done to me.
And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.
I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.
{Instrumental}
Just a temporary pleasure, caused a never-ending pain,
But if love could last forever, then we're sure to love again, love again.
And I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.
{Instrumental}
I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.
You know I'm here on shaky ground, but I don't wanna tear you down.
I don't wanna tear you down, but I'm the only fool around.

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,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone.
I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone. Oh yeah!
{Rod - Slide Solo - 2 verses}
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".
Can't hold out, I can't hold out too long,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone.
I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
I get a real good feelin', c'mon baby,
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk -
I said talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
Talk to me baby, talk to me baby,
I get a real good feelin' talkin' to you on the phone.

I want you to love me baby, love your baby slow,
I want you to love me baby, love your baby slow,
I want you to love me baby 'til I drop dead in front of your door.
I want you to love me baby, 'til my lips turn cherry red,
I want you to love me baby, 'til my lips turn cherry red,
I want you to love me baby 'til I fall dead across your bed. Oh yeah
{Rod - Solo - Dave scat solo}
I want you to love me baby, love your baby slow,
I want you, I want you to love me baby, please love me slow,
I want you to love me baby, oh yea,

I want you to love me baby, 'til I can't take no more.
Love me baby, love me baby.
{Rod - Solo}
Oh yeah
Love me baby, love me baby,
Love me baby, love me baby,
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, yeah, yeah
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 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
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 runnin' 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 yeah, tell me right now, yeah, yeah
Lonely days, lonely nights

Back to the same old place, to my sweet home Chicago
Two and two is four, four and four is eight
Love me baby now, don't be late

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 tearing through the back street
I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat
Rain blowing to my face
I'm tired of being in the wrong place
Blues knocking 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 and roll therapy
Put on a 45 and let the needle ride
Juke box 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 pouring rain
Rock and roll in my soul got me losing 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
Rock and roll in my soul got me losing control
Let it roll; let it roll; let it roll; let it roll
Stone Blue
Rock and roll sure helped me through
Stone Blue
Rock and roll sure helped me through
Stone Blue
Walking on a back street
Stone Blue
I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat
Stone Blue
Pick up my feet - start to run
Stone Blue
I'll be home before the morning sun
Stone Blue
Rain blowing to my face
Stone Blue
I'm tired of being in the wrong place
When I was blue - Stone Blue - rock and roll helped me through
When I was blue - Stone Blue - rock and roll helped me through
Turn up the radio - turn it up (yeah) - higher and higher
Turn it up, turn it up (yeah) higher and higher
Gotta help me through; gotta help me through; gotta help me through; you gotta help me through
Gotta help me through; gotta help me through; gotta help me through; gotta help me through

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.
{Rod - Solo - verse}
Stay, won't you stay with me?
Take my time and love will set me free.

Take my time and love will set me free.
Stay, won't you stay with me?
Fe fi fo fum, I can feel the presence of someone
Somebody been sleepin' in my bed
Somebody been sittin' in my chair
Cigarettes in the ash tray and I don't even smoke
Someone's been drinking my best booze
I can tell 'cause the seal is broke
I left my bedroom slippers last night at the foot of my bed
And now they're in my living room and my bed was left unmade
Somebody been sleepin' in my bed
Somebody been sittin' in my chair
They ate up all my food and I don't stand for such
Don't tell me it was a woman, 'cause a woman don't eat that much
My brand new silk pajamas, they were balled up in a chair
My mind ain't playin' tricks on me help me, is he still here?
Somebody been sleepin' in my bed
Somebody been sittin' in my chair
Somebody
Fe fi fo fum, I can feel the presence of someone
Somebody been sleepin' in my bed
Somebody been sittin' in my chair, yeah
Somebody been sleepin' in my bed, oh
Somebody been sittin' in my chair

Where was Nero when Rome burned? He wasn't worried 'bout the flames.
The cat didn't play no fiddle, he had his mind on better games.
He was down in the cellar with a girl he called B-Betty Lou,
Drinking juice from the grape vine, Chianti BC '52.
The Roman city was burnin', but Nero didn't face it alone,
He was soakin the bone,
Just soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' it.
Napoleon he said to Josie, "I'm gonna rule the world for a start."
Josephine said, "Hey Nappy, you're crazy!
Would you rather shake it down Bonaparte?"
The world was there to be conquered, Napoleon, he couldn't leave home,
'Cause he was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' it.

About the Spanish Armada, it didn't faze Sir Francis Drake.
20,000 gun-totin' galleons, but Frankie didn't quiver or quake.
He was down on the beach head, rollin' in the pebbles and stones,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' it.
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' the bone,
He was soakin' it,

I woke up last night about half past four, two police cars at my door.
Said you'd been drunk and out of control, you ran my car into a telephone pole,
Tell me baby, is it true what I heard? You never said a word.
Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.
Well, I said, "Hey baby, what you tryin' to do?
The things I heard about you can't be true.
Every night you're out on the town, you run my money into the ground,
"Hey baby, were you out with the boys?" You never made a noise.
Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.
Well you broke my heart, it was an accident, just like my money, all my love is spent.
I don't know why but I can't get through to you.
Don't give me that silent treatment, don't give me that silent treatment,
When you do something bad, it only drives me mad - you do it every time.

Well, I was sittin' in a smokey room, band playin' rock n' roll
Everybody burnin', yearnin' for some alcohol
I got up to buy the wine, when I saw Shirley Jean
Powdering her nose, posin' like a movie queen
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine
I tried to give her a sign but she was too high to see
Sittin' and starin', carin' not a thing for me
Sweet little Shirley Jean, sure lookin' good to me
Jet black stockings, rockin' to the bebop beat
Tell by the way she was actin', musta' had a whole lot to hide
She's got a whole lotta lovin', all bottled up inside
I ain't goin to say a word, can't find a word to say
You ain't gonna get me, let me tell you right away
I gave up and wandered out, when I saw the reason why
Hugging little Shirley, a curly headed honey pie
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
Shirley Jean, sweet little lovin' machine, well
Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine
Well, Shirley Jean, sweet little seventeen
Shirley Jean, she's a lovin' machine
Yeah, well, Shirley Jean
Let me grease your machine
Let me check your oil

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,

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.

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,
Listen to me, baby
I'll tell you what I need
Oh, come on and spend some time with me
Oh, come on, one night is all I need, hey hey
Give me satisfaction when you're steady to roll
Give me what you got and you can give me more
Come on, that's how it's gotta be
I need somebody, save your loving for me
I need somebody, save your loving for me
Oh, come on, show me the games you play
Rock on until the break of day, hey hey
Let me come on over, spend some time with you
I know a lot of things that we can do
Come on, don't give it all away
I need somebody, save your loving for me
I need somebody, save your loving for me

You need love, I need love, rock me baby, 'til I scream

I need somebody, save your loving for me
I need somebody, save your sweet love for me
I need somebody, save your loving for me
I need, I need your sweet loving
Come on, oh, come on, come on, baby, yeah
Sarah Lee, can't you see
Why I'm cryin' like a child?
You had your fun but what you've done
Has made me mad and drove me wild
You used to be good to me
And now you're always raising sand
And it's so strange how you've changed
And now I don't know where I stand
Well, I went down to the roadside
When your wheels began to turn
I called your name but you just drove away, yeah
Time's I wonder, will I ever learn?
Sarah Lee, look at me
See those lines upon my face
I'm so confused and I been abused
I can hardly stand the pace
The things you did and the truth you hid
They caused me pain and misery
And there's no doubt 'cause I checked it out
You've been double-crossing me
Well, I went down to the station
I saw you step onto that train
But someone else was close beside you
Now I wonder will I see you again?
Sarah Lee, can't you see
Why I'm cryin' like a child?
You had your fun but what you've done
Made me mad and drove me wild
Sarah Lee, can't you see
See those lines upon my face?
I'm so confused and I've been abused

There's one thing baby I need to know, why you changed the lock on your front door,
I keep tryin' but I never win, honey won't you let this bad boy in?
It ain't safe to walk these streets alone, so I guess I'll take the last train home,
Go back to my one room shack, but it's cold and it's damp, I don't wanna go back.
Baby, let me rock your house, I just wanna rock your house,
Baby, let me rock your house, I just wanna rock your house.
Whoa oh ho-whoa-oh.

Undercover of the silver moon, run for cover,
There's a lover with a magic gun,
Gonna work you over, roll you in the clover.
'Cause he's a rock and roll outlaw with a six string gun, stealin' love for fun,
Sayin' c'mon baby, let's ride tonight, until the risin' sun
We gotta ride, ride, ride, ride, ride.
When I spot you, put your love in my hands, 'cause I got you,
When I catch you, won't know how to behave,
My heart is drummin', and trouble is comin'.
'Cause I'm a rock and roll outlaw with a six string gun, stealin' love for fun.
When I go down baby, goin' down for love, so let the beat go on,
Shoot 'em up now baby!

After midnight, when the beat is strong by the moonlight,
After midnight, though I know it's wrong,
I have me a lover, and then I start on another.
'Cause I'm a rock and roll outlaw with a six string gun, stealin' love for fun,
Sit back baby, 'cause I need all night, until the job is done.

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.
{Riffs, Dave - Solo, Riffs}
Speeding along like a bullet from a gun,
It's a three day ride, we're gonna make it in one.
I'm back on the road and I ain't gonna stop,
Goin' to roll 'til I'm old, gonna rock 'til I drop.
Road fever, wheels turnin' in the rain,
Road fever, fire burnin' in my brain,
Go driver go! Move like a hurricane.
{Riffs, Dave and Rod trading licks}
Woo!
Go driver go!
We're gone
Woo!
Yea, we're goin' to New Orleans
We're goin' to New Orleans
Look out here I come
I believed, this time it wouldn't be too long
Guaranteed, but now I see that I was wrong
Seems like our love is fading, I know the reason why
We can't talk about it, I'm too far away to try
And I see the train arrive
And I see the train arrive
Every night, I laughed at all the bad advice
They were right, and I'm the one who paid the price
We gotta get together and conquer all the hate
Time is runnin' out, it might even be too late
And I see the train arrive
And I see the train arrive
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
So many roads to travel, so many trains to ride
So many trains to ride, ain't no need for you to worry
Ain't no need for you to worry, love is on my side
Don't break down, love is on our side
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
And I see the train arrive
Here I am, a bunch of tickets in my hand
Uncle Sam, afraid I gotta leave your land
I'm lookin' to the future, the past is dead and gone
No peace for the wicked and time keeps me movin' on
And I see the train arrive
And I see the train arrive
Ride, ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride, ride
And I see the train arrive
And I see the train arrive and I see the train arrive
And I see the train arrive, see the train arrive
And I see the train arrive, see the train arrive
I see the train arrive, see the train arrive
I see the train arrive, see the train arrive
I see the train, see the train arrive
Peverett / Bassett
I got a six string heater - jump in to the fire.
I got a rim shot beater, that's my desire.
Hundred-watt destroyer, gonna put you away,
Turn it up to eleven, we came to play.
If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it.
If it ain't rude it don't rock.
Play dirty, play rough.
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.
I got a mind half crazy, now ain't that sad!
I can't stop rockin', but that's too bad.
Overpowered distortion, blowin' out my brain,
Shockwaves in my body, drivin' me insane.
If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it.
If it ain't rude it don't rock.
Play dirty, play rough,
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Yeah!
Ah huh huh huh huh..
If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it,
If it ain't rude it don't rock.
Play d-i-r-t-y, play rough.
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.
Play dirty, play rough,
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.

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.
Paradise Alley, a thousand miles away from home.
Paradise Alley, what a place to call your home,
Paradise Alley, what a way to be alone, yeah.
I don't care what you need, girl
A lover or a real good friend
If you're lonely, you need somebody
I'll be with you 'til the end
Nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
I'll do it all for you
I know you ain't no angel
You're sure gonna do some harm
I love you, baby, you must be crazy
To stick a needle in your arm
Nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
I'll give it all to you, hey hey
Walkin' on a tight rope
One slip and you're bound to fall
Slow down, baby, watch your step
Don't run before you learn to crawl
Nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
I'll give it all to you
I saw you buy your ticket
And the fireman rang the bell
You feel so good, it's just like heaven
Sure gonna give you hell
Nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
Ain't nothin' I won't do
I'll give it all to you
Yeah baby, nothin' I won't do
I'll give you my time and my money too
You want my love, I'll give it all to you
Peverett / Price
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.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble.
Trouble!
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Nothin' but trouble - 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, yeah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, love ain't nothin' but trouble
Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Come back, baby, talk it over again, maybe we can still be friends.
Cross your heart, don't you tell me no lies, dry my crying eyes.
Is your heart as cold as it seems? Why do you laugh at all of my broken dreams?
There goes another goodbye scene - by now I should be wise.
Love, you hit me when I was down, you had me chained and bound,
Now you want to smile and walk away.
Girl, I tried to make it right, now I'm too weak to fight,
Baby this is all I hear you say -
No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.
Maybe easy for you to explain, falling out of love once again.
Life's too short and you've gotta be free - there ain't no time for me.
So I lay back here on my bed, no more tears to be shed.
No confusion, I know what you said - our love could never be.
Love, you hit me when I was down, you had me chained and bound,
Now you want to smile and walk away.
Girl I tried to make it right, now I'm to weak to fight,
And baby this is all I hear you say -
No hard feelings, don't need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.
{Dave - Solo}
Another song in my book - nice words, but there ain't no hook.
Turn the page 'cause I can't bear to see what love has done to me.
So I lay back here on my bed, no more tears to be shed,
No confusion, I know what you said, our love could never be.
No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.
No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had. No, no, no, no.
No hard feelings, no need to take it so bad.
No hard feelings, no love to be had.
Working on a night shift
High on a 'fore day drive
I'm energized from sundown to sunrise
And I'll sleep from nine to five
Shadows fallin' all down the line
Get ready 'cause it's night shift time
Living, loving
Searching high and low
Feel the fire
I'm hooked to a live wire
And I can't let go
I got a feeling that I can't mistake
Sun rises and I'm still awake
I'll play my music
I don't mind working overtime
And if I lose it I'll come to you
And you'll give me peace of mind
~ Rod - Solo ~
I get home early in the morning
I love to get next to you
You touch me and you thrill me
You know what to do
~ Dave - Scat Solo ~
Working on a night shift
You tell me something's got to give

I've been wearin' my fingers down to the bone,
Just pushin' your number on the telephone.
I chewed up the rug, knocked a hole in the wall,
But your line was busy everytime I call.
Remember the shots that we took last night?
Polaroid Woman sure treat me right.
But right now I'm down on my knees,
I need your nervous release,
Your nervous release.
I had a long hard day and now my nerves are on edge,
Like I just stepped back from a window ledge.
I smoked too many straights, too much caffeine,
Feel like I'm burnin' bad gasoline.
IBM Woman, now I've got a hunch,
You're too wound up from operating that punch
I'll hang up the phone, grab the keys,
I need your nervous release, ah yeah.
{Instrumental}
I woke up at noon, I should've stayed in bed.
I checked my level, it was in the red.
I swear I heard voices, there was no one around,
An ice-cold shower couldn't cool me down.
I used to brag about my nerves of steel,
Heavy Metal Woman just can't be real!
Cool me down by degrees,
I need your nervous release.
N-n..n- n- ...
I'm as nervous as a man could be,
Full of guilt and insecurity.
Too much work, man it's killing me!,
Like a mad dog howling through the trees,
I need your nervous release, your nervous release.
N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release.
N-n..n-n..n-n..n-nervous release.
Oh baby, oh baby...
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
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, 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 fine
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 makes me cry
That's why, oh
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 makes me cry
Peverett / Price / Jameson
Shanghaied at midnight, to some sleazy motel,
The blonde leading the blind, ah, she does it so well!
A view of the highway, four walls and a bed,
She's taking me down now and I'm so easily lead.
She's got me right there where she wants,
Where she can work me all night long.
Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, three in the morning and she wants it all.
She puts on her red dress and that's a dangerous sign,
With her first-rate body and her one-track mind.
Heart shakin' like an earthquake, just a little more fun,
When you think it's all over, well she's hardly begun.
She don't care what they can hear next door,
She just wants to get what she came for.
Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, the neighbors are knockin', but she ain't stopping.
Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, three in the morning and she wants it all.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Woo! Yeah! Shake it baby!
She loves to shake me all night long,
But in the morning she'll be gone, she'll be gone.
Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, the neighbors are knockin', she ain't stoppin',
Motel shaker, tangled in sheets, the more she gets, the more she needs.
Motel shaker, shaking the walls, they keep on knockin', but she ain't stoppin'.
Motel shaker, motel shaker
Peverett / Price - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
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.
{Rod - Solo - Riff}
Midnight madness gonna tear me down,
Midnight madness gonna turn me around.
Midnight madness gonna tear me down,
Midnight madness gonna turn me around.
Dee-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...{Dave scat}
{Rod - Solo}
Come back baby, give me give me one more chance, 'cause I love.
You got me walkin', put me in a trance, 'cause I love you.
Midnight madness gonna tear me down,
Midnight madness gonna turn me around,
Midnight madness gonna tear me down,
Midnight madness gonna turn me around ....'round!

Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do,
As I was motivatin' over the hill, I saw Maybelline in a Coup de Ville,
Cadillac rollin' on the open road, nothin' outrun my V8 Ford,
Cadillac doin' 'bout 95, bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side,
Maybelline, why can't you be true? Whoa Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doing the things you used to do,
Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford, Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more,
Done got cloudy and it started to rain, I tooted my horn til I passed the lane,
Rain water blowin' all under my hood, I knew that I was doin' my motor good,
Maybelline, why can't you be true? Whoa Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done started back doin' the things you used to do,
{Dave - Solo - 3 verses}
The motor cooled down, the heat went down,
And that's when I heard the highway sound,
Cadillac sittin' like a ton of lead, 110 a half a mile ahead,
Cadillac lookin like it's sittin' in steel, and I called Maybelline at the top of the hill,
Maybelline, why can't you be true? Whoa Maybelline, why can't you be true?
You done start back doing the things you used to do.
Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true? Oh, Maybelline, why can't you be true?

Into the love zone, baby here I come.
Night time is the right time, let me be the one.
So tired of cryin', ain't gonna cry no more.
With you, baby, by my side, love's an open door.
Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream!

Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream!
Ooh ooh ooh, the love zone I'm in.
Ooh ooh ooh, it must be a dream!
Ooh ooh ooh, the love zone I'm in. Yeah!
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 cow tied 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, ooh!
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
She makes me feel like
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!
She got me in the mood

Makin' love, and the world stops turning.
Your body's so warm and your lips are like honey.
Into the night, well I'm driftin' and driftin',
I'm caught in a dream, I'm lost but not lonely.
The world stops turnin' and time stands still,
Feels like the night will last forever,
When love is in motion (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)
Deep inside, I can feel it comin',
A river of love, rollin' over my body.
Driftin' with the tide,
I don't care where it takes me,
Carry me on, roll me over and over.
The world stops turnin' and time stands still,
Feels like the night will last forever,
When love is in motion (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)
No time to worry, no time to lose,
I can't see clearly but I can't be confused.
No love can be as strong as this,
I can't take it but I just can't resist.
Oh no, oh no.
{Dave - Solo}
Slow and easy, night is young,
Need someone to love you? Let me be the one.
Lay back baby, let the good feeling flow,
Love is coming and I'm losing control.
The world stops turnin' and time stands still,
Feels like the night will last forever,
When love is in motion (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)
I can feel it now (love in motion)
I can feel it comin', yeah (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)
When love is in motion (love in motion)
Oh oh yeah (love in motion)
Whoa ah (love in motion)
(love in motion)
I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Baby, behind the sun
I'm goin' down in Louisiana
Baby, behind the sun
Well you know I just found out
My trouble just begun
I'm going down in New Orleans
Get me a mojo hand
I'm going down in New Orleans
Get me a mojo hand
Oh, take me wit' you, man, when you go
I'm gonna show all you good looking women
Just how to treat your man
Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
I got a girl, she likes to swing from a tree,
Love that woman, but she don't love me.
I've got a check book, but got no money,
I told her that, she didn't think it was funny.
I've got a car, but the damn thing won't start,
I could fix it, but I cant find the spare parts.
I've got a stereo with kick-ass speakers,
But the sound is getting weaker and weaker.
Everything I got is less than perfect, I should be angry, but it just ain't worth it.
One of these days, I'm gonna make it right, tie it up good and tight.
Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends,
One of these nights I'm gonna tie it up tight.
I've got a suit, but the sleeves are too long,
Perfect fit, if I had arms like King Kong.
I've got a cellar full of old suit cases,
Outdated tickets to romantic places.
I've got a jigsaw with one piece missing,
I've got a radio with no time to listen.
I've got a house with a leak in the ceiling,
I've got a heart but I've got no feeling.
Everything I got is less than perfect, I should be angry, but it just ain't worth it.
One of these days I'm gonna make it right, tie it up good and tight.
Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends,
One of these nights I'm gonna tie it up tight.
{Dave - Solo}
I'm gonna make that woman love me - get a good job earn some money -
Buy a car with an eight track stereo.
Buy a new suit, take a sea cruise, fix my house the way that I choose.
Some day I'm gonna get up and go, go, go! Go, go, mmmm, mmmm.
Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends, loose ends.
Tying up a loose end, tying up a loose end,
Tying up a loose end, tying up a loose end, ahhhh.
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
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
How many miles, nobody knows
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

I've got a '57 Cadillac with Batmobile wings,
Pink and black striped interior that's fit for a king,
No money down, fifty years to pay, be glad when it's mine,
"Saw you coming!", said the dealer as I signed on the line.
Live now - pay later, Live now - pay later.
I got a fifty room country mansion up in the hills,
My landlord says I can have it, long as I pay the bills.
I bought the furniture on credit at a fabulous store,
The man said, "Next time you come in, why don't you spend a little more?
Live now-pay later, Live now-pay later
How many possesions do I possess?
I started with nothin', now I've got less.
How long will my credit last this time?
Live now-pay later, that's how it's gotta be,
If money talks, well it sure ain't talkin' to me!
{Instrumental}
My doctor told me that I'm crazy to abuse myself this way,
Too much alcohol and jelly roll, someday I'm gonna pay.
No time for tomorrow, I'm too busy havin' fun,
But when the bills come in, I know it's time for me to run.
Live now-pay later, Live now-pay later.
There's a hole in my pocket where my cash used to be,
Rubber checks and credit cards have been so good to me.
How long can I spend my life on loan? oh yeah,
Live now-pay later, that's how it's gotta be,
If money talks, well it sure ain't talkin' to me!
Oooh oooh oooh wooo, oooh oooh oooh wooo....
Live now-pay later, Live now-pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Pay later,
(Live now), Live now, (Pay later), Live now,
(Live now), Whoa yeah, (Pay later)
{Erik - Solo}
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-ee-ahh, ooooh whoa
I'm gonna bounce my checks all over the place now. Well, well, well.
I'm out of here!
I gotta run, they got me beat, whoa yeah
Time for me to run now! I gotta move on down the road.
Change my name, my address, my I.D.
I gotta run, I gotta run
Live now-pay later.
I have had my fun, yeah.
I've have had my fun.
Now it's time for me to pay.
Time for me to pay.

Ooh well now they call my baby Patty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
Well they call my baby Betty,
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lou.
She's so fine, fair and pretty, you don't know what my baby's gonna do, my Linda Lou.
When she goes strollin' down the street,
All the cats, all the cats, all the cats turn and look around.
Well now she give everybody the eye,
You never know, you never know, you never know what my baby's gonna put down.
Everybody always tells me I got the cutest little girl in town.
I'm gonna marry that girl next Saturday night,
Make her mine for the rest of my life,
From now on my rovin' days are through,
And it's all because of that chick, Linda Lou.
Linda Lou, Linda Lou,
Tell me what are you gonna do?
I had a real bad dream last night,
Honey you said, you said, you said, you said that we were through.
Well now if you ever leave, you're gonna break my poor heart in two, my Linda Lou.
Yeah.

Nick Jameson - Sea of Keys Music - BMI
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.

I gotta run, 'cause I hear it comin', I gotta jump that train.
I gotta run, 'cause I hear it comin', I gotta jump that train.
I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train.
John Lee Hooker had it all figured out,
When he said, "It's in you and it's got to come out",
I believe it's true, 'cause it worked for me before,
If ain't right the first time, try it once more.
No need to tell you 'cause it's understood,
And it feels so good, yes it feels so good.
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain,
I got to jump, jump that train, I got to jump, jump that train,
I got to jump, jump that train, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train.

Jenny's got a face twice as long as a kite,
'Cause she didn't get everything she wanted last night.
Her daddy's got money and she should be satisfied,
With her brand new Roller and a pony to ride.
Wants to find a lover, needs to be understood,
And I know she could, yet I know she could.
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got tears in my eyes like fallin' rain, that's why I'm ridin' the blues train.
{Rod - Solo}
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...
I gotta jump, jump that train, I gotta jump, jump that train,
I got to jump, jump that train.
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train,
I got to run, 'cause I hear it comin', I got to jump that train.
Whoo!

In a movie, on a silver screen, lookin' like a angel.
Not the same now as it might've been, runnin' outta reach of your heart.
You once knew a little girl, only thing she wanted was love, your love.
It was true, every night and every day you were the only thing that she would think of.
But the light, of the stage not the light in your eye, it began to call her name.
And now you fight all the people everywhere,
'Cos they try just to share a little moment of her fame.
But Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say "I love you", she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.
On the video in the afternoon, playin' up the mystery.
You catch a glimpse now, but it ends too soon.
Now it fades, as the lights go down, all her love is left on the stage.
Far away, pictures on the reel ain't true.
Smilin' face that you once knew, is not so gay.
But Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say love ya', she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.
Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
Jenny don't like to say love ya', she's learned how to fly and she can't slow down.

Jenny don't mind if you love her, she won't have the time to call you and thank you.
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
I'd have the strength to stand alone
If I was strong enough to break your heart of stone
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, yeah
I'd have the strength to stand alone
If I was strong enough to break your heart of stone
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
We can't turn back the hands of time
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late, it's too late
We can't turn back, we can't turn back
We can't turn back, we can't turn back
'Cause it's too late
It's too late, it's too late
We can't turn back, we can't turn back
It's too late, it's too late, yeah
If you hear somebody knockin' on your door
If you see something crawlin' all across the floor
Baby, it'll be me
And I'll been lookin' for you
If you see a head peepin' from a crawdad hole
If you see somebody climbin' up a telephone pole
Baby, it'll be me
And I'll been lookin' for you
Gonna look on the mountain
And in the deep blue sea
Gonna search all the forests
Gonna look in every tree
If you feel somethin' heavy on your fishin' hook
If you see a funny face in your comic book
Baby, it'll be me
And I'll been lookin' for you
Oh, look a here now
Gonna look in the city
Where the lights are blue
Gonna search the countryside
And all the haystacks too
Well, if you hear a voice callin' out in the night
If you see somebody hangin' from a lampost bright
Baby, it'll be me
And I'll been lookin' for you
Oh yeah
Gonna look on the mountain
And in the deep blue sea
Gonna search all the forests
Gonna, gonna look in every tree
Well if you see a new face on a totem pole
If you find you a lump in your sugar bowl
Baby, it'll be me
And I'll been lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
And I'll be lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
And I'll be lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
I'll just keep looking for you
I'll be lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
I'll be lookin' for you
You said you were hurtin'
You almost lost your mind
The man you love
He hurts you all the time
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too
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
Play your heart out
Now, he'd better leave you
Or you should put him down
I just can't stand
To see you pushed around
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too
So goodbye, baby
I've got to leave you now
I'm gonna pack my bags
And move on down the line
When things go wrong with you
When things go wrong
So wrong with you
When things go wrong
Wrong with you
It hurts me too
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
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
There'll be no need to cry
I'll be standing by
Come to me, come to me
'Cause I'll be standing

Got my home in my hand
Thumbin' a ride to Geneva
Standing in the fallin' rain
Getting dirty looks
Wish I could've took a train
Your friends said, "Why did you leave her?"
I had to make it on my own
Now I'm standin' on the highway
Tryin' to find my way alone
Well, I've got my home in my hand
Travelin' across the land
Tryin' to earn a livin'
Givin' everything I can
It's gettin' so hard to remember
Even harder to forget
Well, if I don't find a way
How am I gonna pay my debt?
Well, I've got my home in my hand
Travelin' across the land
Tryin' to earn a livin'
Givin' everything I can
Well, I've got my home in my hand
Travelin' across the land
Tryin' to earn a livin'
Givin' everything I can
Yeah, I've got my home in my hand
Travelin' across the land
Tryin' to earn a livin'
Givin' everything I can
Tryin' to earn a livin'
Givin' everything I can
Home in my hand, home in my hand
Home in my hand, home in my hand
Yeah, I've got my home in my hand
Well, I've got my home in my hand
Yeah, I've got my home in my hand
Well, I've got my home in my hand

Yeah, I've got my home in my hand
Well, I've got my home in my hand
Yes, I've got my home in my hand
Home in my hand in my hand
Home in my hand
Woke up this mornin' and I crawled out of bed
I made a cup of coffee just to clear my head
I felt all right 'til I looked on the floor
There was a pile of bills stacked against the door
I went in the kitchen and drank another cup
I sat down at the table and added it up
When I discovered how much I owe
I said, ooh, ooh, it's time to go
Mailman stay away from my door
Got too many bills I don't need no more
I don't know what I'm gonna do but while I'm deciding
To save my soul, I'm gonna find me a hole to hide in
Everyday it's the same old thing
I know in advance what the man's gonna bring
Registered letters from all over town
Those final reminders are gettin' me down
I once had money but it's all been spent
And now the landlord said he needs the rent
Telephone company cuttin' off my phone
Why don't they all just leave me alone?
Mailman keep away from my door
Got too many bills I don't need no more
I don't know what I'm gonna do but while I'm deciding
To save my soul, I'm gonna find me a hole to hide in
Mailman stay away from my door
Mailman stay away from my door
Mailman stay away from my door
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
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

High on your love, just can't get enough,
It's movin' too fast, makin' it last.
You come to me at the right time,
Mornin', noon and night time,
Nothing can stop me, when my baby rock me.
Oooh baby, feel like makin' love to you,
Oooh baby,
Well I never knew,
What your love can do, oh.
I'm high on love, I'm high on love, I'm high on your love.
I'm high on love, I'm high on love, I'm high on your love.
Playin' with fire, heat rising higher,
Love's got me burning, good things I'm learning.
I ain't seen the sun in a long time,
Love keeps runnin' through my mind,
Nothing can save me but the love that you gave me.
Oooh baby, hold me tight, move it slow,
Oooh baby,
I can feel the flow.
Baby don't let go, no.
I'm high on love, I'm high on love, I'm high on your love.
I'm high on love, I'm high on love, I'm high on your love, yeah.

Oooh baby, hold me tight, move it slow,

I'm high on love, I'm high on love, I'm high on your love.
I'm high on love, I'm high on love, I'm high on your love.
Nothing can stop me!
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
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
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
Need a helping hand, need a helping hand
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
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
Whoa, I need somebody, I need somebody
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
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
I've made up my mind and here's my decision
I'd like to share with you
All of my secrets of my religion
I want you to see, oh, how sweet I could be
Oh, I just got to get to know you
I just got to get to know you
You've got what it takes, whoa there's no denyin'
I see in you a dream come true
Lord, you're life to the dying
I want you to see, oh, how sweet I could be
Oh, I just got to get to know you
I just got to get to know you
In my life there's an empty slot
Oh, now I believe you can fill that spot
I just got to get to know you
I just got to get to know you
Blessed are the days I spent with you
Realizin' precious moments we never knew
Right now I'm just imagining this thing
But would you believe the joy it brings
I just got to get to know you
I just got to get to know you
I'm gonna get you and hold you tight
I want to hold you baby, in the middle of the night
Because I need, I need you baby, I need, I need you by my side
I need, I need, I need you to keep me satisfied
Gonna hold you, I'm gonna to squeeze
I'm going to love you
I've made, I've made up my mind
I said I've made, I've made up my mind
You got it, you got what it takes
You got, you got what it takes
I see, I see in you a dream
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?
Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Will I ever ride that train?
Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Will I ever ride that train?

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,
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
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
Goin' to the city, got you on my mind
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind
This is my decision
I'm comin' home to stay this time
'Cause I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
Fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run
I'm ready for the city
Air pollution, here I come
'Cause I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I ain't no country boy
I'm just a homesick man
I'm gonna hit the grit
Just as fast as I can
I'll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd
Sidewalk under my feet, traffic's good and loud
When I see my inner city, child
I'll be walkin' on a cloud
'Cause I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool for the city

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!

I got a letter, it come to me by mail,
My baby's comin' home, I hope that she don't fail.
You know I feel so good, I feel so good,
I feel so good, I feel like ballin' the jack.
I'm goin' down to the station, just to meet a train
My baby's comin' home, you know I've got dead aim
You know it feels so good, it feels so good
It feels so good, I feel like ballin' the jack
Oh yea
{Instrumental}
I feel so good, I hope I always will
I feel like Jack on Jill now, way o'er behind the hill
You know it feels so good, I feel so good
I feel so good, I feel like ballin' the jack.
I feel so good, I feel like ballin' the jack.
Feel so bad, feel like a ballgame on a rainy day
I feel so bad, feel like a ballgame on a rainy day
Since I lost my baby, I shake my head and walk away
Sometimes I want to stay here then again I want to leave
Sometimes I want to leave then again I want to stay
Since I've got my clothes packed, I'll catch a train and ride away, yeah
I'm tryin' to tell you people, I try to tell you how I feel
I'm tryin' to tell you people, I try to tell you how I feel
I feel so bad, yes, I do, my baby, she gave me a dirty deal
Oh yeah, I feel so bad
Sometimes I want to leave then again I want to stay
Since I've got my clothes packed, I'll catch a train and ride away
Gonna ride away, gonna ride away
Gonna ride away, gonna ride away
I feel so bad, I feel so bad
I feel so bad, I feel so bad, whoa
Whoa yeah, I feel, I feel so bad, I feel, I feel so bad
I'm gonna ride away, I'm gonna ride away
Sugar lady, be my savior
'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, oh yeah
Oh sugar lady, be my savior
'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)
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
Lookin' for a way
To earn some easy cash
So I can lay back and watch it roll in
I wanna flash my roll
I want to see
That good old eagle grin
Lonely man needs
A high-rollin' woman
That's what I had for sure
But she took a ride
Left me dissatisfied
Ain't gonna say no more
Easy money
Can't get it out of my mind
Easy money
Ain't it hard to find
Cruisin' along on a downtown avenue
I'm lonely but the night is young
I got money to burn
I had to work to earn
It'll soon be gone
I found the nightclub, struttin' in
Paid the man a dollar
Eased myself into a place at the bar
I drank a double-shot
Put me in the slot
I'm feeling good so far
Easy money
Can't get it out of my mind
Easy money
Ain't it hard to find

Easy money
Can't get it out of my mind
Easy money
Ain't it hard to find
Feelin' good, can't be real
Must be dreamin' 'bout my drivin' wheel
Rollin' on, drivin' on
Come to me and rock me all night long
We've got a roll goin', too good to stop
Flyin' high, we've got too far to drop
Everybody needs somebody to love
I've got you and that's love enough
You're my drivin' wheel
You're my drivin' wheel
You're my drivin' wheel
Powerful love, steady roll
Move my body and it rock my soul
Let me ride, let me slide
Got that lovin' feelin', way down inside
You got me walkin', goin' round and around
You got me talkin' but I can't hear a sound
Love comes easy when the goin' is tough
May be crazy, I may be in love
You're my drivin' wheel, yeah
You're my drivin' wheel, yeah
You're my drivin' wheel, yeah
Every night feelin' high, flyin' right
Can't believe all the love that I feel
Easy rider, you're a love exciter
You're my love, you're my drivin' wheel
You're my drivin' wheel
You're my drivin' wheel, yeah
You're my drivin' wheel
You're my drivin' wheel
Keep on drivin' me baby
'Cause you're my drivin' wheel
I love the way I feel
'Cause you're my, 'cause you're my drivin' wheel
Let me ride, let me slide, whoo
C'mon baby, give it to me baby
Yeah, we gotta ride, we gotta ride
We gotta ride, we gotta ride
Yeah, drive me 'ome, come on!
Well it's midnight, I feel alright, I'm as high as a Georgia pine,
Tell all the world, 'bout that little girl of mine.
But I cheated, I mistreated, lied with a heart of stone,
Now I need somebody, to drive this bad boy home.
Drive me home, drive me home,
I can't make it on my own, drive me home,
Baby won't you drive me home. Whoo!
I feel hazy and it's crazy, forgot everything, I know,
Before I leave, give me one more for the road.
All the sad songs and the bad songs the jukebox played tonight,
A little rock and roll will make everything alright.
Drive me home, drive me home,
I can't make it on my own, drive me home,
Baby won't you drive me, honey won't you drive me home.
{Dave - Solo}
Drive me home, drive me home,
Can't make it on my own, I'm stoned to the bone,
Baby won't you drive me home.
Yea, c'mon!
Yea, c'mon drive me home woman, I'm stoned to the bone.
Oh let me get into your car. Stir the stick, whoo!
Put your foot down baby!
Ah, ya haven't been drinkin' have ya?
Ya have? Up ahead, slow down
You're goin' too fast, look out, oh! (Crash!)
Fuckin' hell! What are you doin'? Oh, ... Oh, look out for that tree!
C'mon and drive me home, c'mon and drive me home
C'mon and drive me home, c'mon and drive me home
C'mon and drive me home, c'mon and drive me home
C'mon and drive me home, c'mon and drive me...

I used to be a dreamer, I can't be that way no more,
I used to be a dreamer, I can't be that way no more,
Only time has proved me wrong,
You can't live on love alone when reality is far too strong.
Nightmare walkin', creepin' through the lonely nights,
Nightmare walkin', creepin' through the lonely nights,
I wake up with the rising sun,
Try to work away the days, keep my troubles on the run.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.
I wake up from my sleep, I got nightmares on my mind,
Walk around in circles to pass away the time,
I hear the bell tonin' and I see the mornin' light,
Pour myself a drink, but I lost my appetite,
I can't sleep at all, 'cause my dreams are all so bad,
When I get to thinkin' it's about to drive me mad.
See our love dyin' and my eyes begin to burn,
My mind is so confused, I don't know which way to turn.
Wake up with the rising sun,
Try to work away the days, keep my troubles on the run.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.
{Rod - Solo}
Time at last has proved you right,
Now my dreams are turnin' bad, it's the same thing every night.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.
{Instrumental}
Nightmare, ruin my life, yeah,
Nightmare, ruin my life,
Every hour, whoa, every night,
Hear the bell tonin', hear the bell tonin',
Nightmare, yeah, whoa, nightmare, drive me crazy,
Now if you wanna hear some boogie like I'm gonna' play
It's just an old piano and a knocked out bass
The drummer man's a cat they call, Kickin' McCoy
I know you remember that old rubber-leg boy
Mama cookin' chicken, fried in bacon grease
Come on along boys, it's just down the road apiece
Well, there's a place you really get your kicks
It's open every night, from 'bout twelve to six
If you wanna hear some boogie, you can get your fill
They shoot the eight beat to you like an old steam drill
Come on along, you can to lose your lease
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece
Well, there's a place you really get your kicks
Its open every night, from 'bout twelve to six
If you wanna hear some boogie, you can get your fill
They shoot the eight beat to you like an old steam drill
Come on along, you can lose your lease
Down the road, down the road, down the road apiece
Down the road, down the road
Down the road, down the road
Down the road, down the road
Well, momma cookin' chicken, fried in bacon grease
Come on along boys, it's just down the road apiece
Down the road, down the road
Down the road, down the road
Down the road, down the road
Well, it's better than chicken fried in bacon grease
I had a woman, all she did was run me down
She changed our love to jealousy and my smile into a frown
Now I've been hurt so many times but I guess I'll never learn
Now I'm standin' in confusion, I don't know which way to turn
'Cause I still love that woman, please don't ask me why
We can make it if we try
She passed by in a limousine and slowly waved her hand
A mink around her shoulders and her arms around a man
Now I was so amazed, I couldn't find a thing to say
Just stood awhile and tried to smile, but she looked the other way
Cruisin' through the city, she almost knocked me down
I jump back when I hear that sound
Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down
My nerves are shakin' and my heart is breakin', don't run me down
Here stands a troubled man who's tired of bein' abused
I'm tired of walkin' by myself, bewildered and confused
I've got to leave you baby, but I just can't let you go
Now I'm inclined to change my mind when tears begin to flow
Run me down, turn me around, I say, no, but you do it anyway
You tell me lies, but I've got wise, what can I say? What can I say?
Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down
Don't run me down, don't run me down, don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down
My body's shakin and my heart is achin', don't run me down
Don't run me down
Don't run me down
Don't run me down

After all is said and done, it wasn't hard to be the lonely one.
Sad, but not a tear was shed, you agreed with every word I said.
I had my new life started, I couldn't be downhearted,
Days rolled slowly by, finally you stayed out of my mind.
I filed your name under "Forgotten", and then somebody pushed the panic button.
Suddenly my nerves were shakin', I realized I could have been mistaken.
Then like they say like you're supposed ta', I'm ridin' on a roller coaster.
I found love too late, too bad she's not the waiting kind.
I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination.
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation,
Delayed reaction, Reaction, Reaction - Delayed reaction, (Reaction, Reaction).
It's a mystery to me, I don't know why our love is history,
At the time I didn't know it, and it's so easy for a fool to blow it.
You can call me a fool now, I don't feel quite so cool now.
Guess I was out of time, love was waiting somewhere down the line.
I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination.
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation,
Delayed reaction, Reaction, Reaction - Delayed reaction, (Reaction, Reaction).
My heart is growin' fonder - I don't mean Henry and I don't mean Jane.
I got the time to wonder, if it's too late to make her mine again.
{Erik - Solo}
I never felt like this before, I had to use my imagination.
Love came to my door, too late for the invitation,

Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - whoa now no nah ha ha.
Never, No I never, said I never - I never felt like this before, no
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before,
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before...
Oh whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh.
I said delayed reaction, ay, I said delayed reaction, yeah.
I said delayed reaction, I'm talkin' bout delayed reaction.
Yea yea-ee-hey yeah - Yea yea-ee-hey yea
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before,
I never felt like this before, I never felt like this before.
D-E-L-A-Y-E-D, delayed reaction - D-E-L-A-Y-E-D, delayed reaction,

Well, I was raised on a back street,
Time's were tough, but kind of bittersweet.
Left school when I was still a child,
Hit the streets and started running wild.
Hanging out in the neighborhood,
People said, "They're up to no good!"
Never thought I'd ever make it through,
Hey boy, what you gonna do?
Crosstown traffic, sirens wailing, screaming in my ear.
It's got me on the run, gotta move on out of here.
I'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street,
Well it's got me beat, on a dead end street.
I can't go no further, won't somebody rescue me,
From this dead end street, oh yeah.
They still talk about the big fight,
On the backstreet at midnight.
Everybody heard the gunfire,
Saw him dragged into the Black Maria.
Now my best friend is doing time,
He's committed to a life of crime.
Got a feeling I'll be next in line,
I wonder how can I get out in time?
I stepped into a movie, this can't be reality.
If I wasn't so lucky, I wonder where I'd be?
I'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street,
Well it's got me beat, on a dead end street.
I can't go no further, won't somebody rescue me,
From this dead end street, oh yeah.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Crosstown traffic, sirens wailing, screaming in my ear.
It's got me on the run, gotta move on outta here.
I'm on a dead end street, on a dead end street,
Well it's got me beat, on a dead end street.
It's got me walking, it's got me talking,
I'm on a dead end street, I'm on a dead end street.
Sometimes I sit and I wonder
Why things turned out this way
All the times she made me happy
But I couldn't make her stay
Now I need some lovin'
Don't want to spend my life alone
Yeah, yeah, I need somebody
It's so sad to be alone
Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Look at me, I'm back in love again,
No reason to lie, there'll be no need to pretend.
I've got a feeling that's burning me up,
All I need is one sip of your sweet lovin' cup.
Oh babe, I can't go on without you,
Love is something that I never knew.
Oh babe, I'm really losing my mind,
Come to me baby just one more time, yeah.
Every girl that I see go by,
Sure makes me hungry for my sweet honey pie.
I get dizzy and my knees get weak,
My hand starts trembling and I can't hardly speak.
Oh babe, I can't go on without you,
Love is something that I never knew.
Oh babe, I'm really losing my mind,
Come to me baby, just one more time, yeah.
I'm comin' down with love all over again,
I'm comin' down with love all over again, yeah.
Somebody help me, well I'm fallin' apart,
I need something to kill this feeling deep in my heart.
I start to shake and shiver, send in the nurse,
If I don't get some loving soon, I'm gonna get worse.
Oh babe, I can't go on without you,
Love is something that I never knew.
Oh babe, I'm really losing my mind,
Come to me baby, just one more time, yeah.
I'm comin' down with love all over again,
I'm comin' down with love all over again, yeah.
Whoo!
{Dave - Solo}
I'm comin' down with love all over again,
I'm comin' down with love all over again.
Night and day love, you're on my mind,
Every beat of my heart is right on time.
Something I can't hide, this feeling deep inside,
It keeps me satisfied, come with me, come with me.
I'm comin' down with love all over again,
I'm comin' down with love all over again.
I'm comin' down with love all over again, oh,
Headed for the station with a pack on my back
I'm tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I love to hear the rhythm of the clickety clack
And hear the lonesome whistle, see the smoke from the stack
I pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
So take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
We reach the destination but alas and alack
We need some conversation to get back in the black
You take a mornin' paper from the top of the stack
And read the situations from the front to the back
The only job that's open needs a man with a knack
So put it right back in the rack, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
I'm gonna settle down by the railroad track
And live the life of Riley in a beaten down shack
So when I hear the whistle I can peek through the crack
Watch the train rollin' when it's ballin' the jack
For I just learned the rhythm of the clickety clack
So take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Alright Jack, whoo whoo, oi
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch'boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch'boogie

Oh, what a night, sure had a real good time
Oh, what a night, sure had a real good time
You drink whiskey, I'll drink cheap red wine
My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll
My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll
Crazy fool, shoulda listened to what I've been told
But I'm rollin' all night long
Rollin' all night long, rollin' all night long
Just another drink and I'll be gone, gone, gone
And look at old Charlie standin' by a dollar bill
Look at old Charlie, standin' by a dollar bill
It may look good but it sure ain't no cheap thrill
So I'm rollin' all night long
Rollin' all night long, rollin' all night long
Just another drink and I'll be gone, gone, gone
Well, I'm gone
My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll
My head started spinnin', eyes began to roll
Shouldn't do that, shouldn't do that
Crazy fool, I drank too much alcohol, that's alright
Now I'm rollin' all night long
Rollin' all night long, rollin' all night long
One more drink and I'll be gone, oh, gone
Gone, yeah
Whoo, rollin', whoo
Alright, John Lee Hooker
Yeah, I got drunk last night
And the night before
If I get me some wine
Gonna get drunk some more
I been rollin', rollin', rollin' all night long
I said all night, all night, all night, all night
Rollin' all night long, yeah, whoo
Oh, what a night, sure had a real good time
Oh, what a night, sure had a real good time
You drink your whiskey, I'll drink my red wine, yeah
Well, I'm rollin' all night long
Rollin' all night long, rollin' all night long
Just another drink and I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone
I ain't got time for chasin' rainbows
Sitting holding hands in picture shows
I'm a man, a man of action
Won't you let your lips give out some satisfaction?
Got a habit of teasin' me
Sendin' me off instead of pleasin' me
Bustin' up, or bustin' out
C'mon baby, take a choice
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out
Whatever makes your heart rejoice
Can't be afraid to spread some joy
Like the Statue of Liberty, standin' tall as a baby boy
You can dream, you can dream your pleasures away
That ain't the way I spend my night or day
Always accusin' me of someone else
When it comes to my love, you won't even help yourself
Bustin' up, or bustin' out
C'mon baby, take a choice
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out
Whatever makes your heart rejoice
Bustin' up, or bustin' out
C'mon baby, take a choice
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out
Whatever makes your heart rejoice, go
Bustin' up, or bustin' out
C'mon baby, take a choice.
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out
Whatever makes your heart rejoice
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out
C'mon baby, take a choice
We're either bustin' up, or bustin' out
Shoulda listened to someone
Love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I shoulda listened to someone
Love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
She's gone and I know
That the pain is beginnin' to show
I'm hurting inside
My world fell apart
But love's still burning in my heart
But where can I hide?
Love turned to stone
And I'm tired of bein' alone
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil
There's a voice in my head
Runnin' over everything she said
And I can't erase it
Love was a game
Well, I lost and it's a cryin' shame
But I gotta face it.
Nowhere to go
And time is moving slow
Yeah, burnin' the midnight oil
Yeah, burnin', burnin' the midnight oil
Hot water getting ready to boil
Drink coffee 'til my nerves are wired
I'm so high, I think I'll never be tired
Feeling sad and I'm mad, all the bad luck that I've had
Shoulda listened to someone
Love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I shoulda listened to someone
Love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
Shoulda listened to someone
Love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I shoulda listened to someone
Love has gone, I've got nowhere to run
I'll lay back on my bed
Memories runnin' through my head
I tried to forget
The clock's striking twelve
I'm still trying to convince myself
It's not over yet
Love turned to stone
And I'm tired of bein' alone
Yea, burnin' the midnight oil

You've got an ache deep down in your love bone,
Come on check in, in a hurry,
Under cover there's no need to worry.

Well my blue spruce woman came outta' the woods up to my city flat,
Look like she been playin' with the animals, I couldn't tell her that.
She made me an offer, I took my time,
Before I knew it she was blowin' my mind,
She's my blue spruce woman she ain't no friend of mine.
Well my woodsy woman got tight with the city,
Didn't even mind the smoke and confusion.
Tried to get a gig slinging hash in a greasy spoon,
Crashin' for nickles and coke.
She didn't ignore me, I wish she would,
She makin' me feel, anything but good,
She's my blue spruce woman she sure ain't no friend of mine.
I love that woman and she loves me,
I want that woman, I gotta make her be,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
The way she make me feel.
{Dave - Solo}
I love that woman and she loves me,
I want that woman, I gotta make her be,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
It's amazing, the way she make me feel,
The way she make me feel.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Blue spruce woman, she ain't no friend of mine,

Blue spruce woman, she ain't no friend of mine.

Got no time for me, you say I should forget you, but there ain't no way.
Always too busy working hard, all you give me is your calling card.
I had to talk to you so bad. I tried to tell you 'bout the dreams I had.
But when I call you, you're so cold, everytime you put my love on hold.
Did you call for me? I guess not. Another night that could have been so hot.
I had my heart set right on you. Guess you found some other thing to do.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah,
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah.
You got me where you want, baby here I stand - be my woman.
I had to talk to you last night, said you'd be working 'til the broad daylight.
All work and no play, what a drag, you could be riding in my brand new Jag.
When I called you this time, you said you'd come tonight and I felt fine.
But then you rang back, what you say? "Same time, same place, some other day."
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah,
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah.
You got me where you want, baby here I stand - be my woman.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
I've got the love girl, if you've got the time,
Got some wild ideas, with no reason or rhyme.
If you steal my heart, it'll be alright,
Take it, don't break it, I'll be mad if you don't make it tonight, oh.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can,
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can,
If you can't love me when you want, love me when you can.
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah,
Be my woman, be my woman, yeah.
You got me where you want, baby here I stand - be my woman.

Bad bad lovin', sure makes a man feel good,
She's only trying to have a little fun, and she's so misunderstood.
Bad bad lovin', straight from the heart and soul,
My baby needs a whole lotta love and it's too much rock and roll.
Tongue of fire lickin' my skin,
Teeth and nails like needles and pins,
Hot to the body, sweet to the taste,
I feel her lips all over my face.
She give me chills and fever, she gets me weak at the knees,
She doesn't have to work so hard, 'cause I could be so easy to please.
Bad bad lovin', my! how the girl has grown,
She used to be untouchable, now I just can't leave her alone.
Bad bad lovin', sure makes a man feel good,
I'm only tryin' to have a little fun, and I'm so misunderstood.
She's a hands-on lover,
Fingers down to the bone,
Cozy under the cover,
Hold on baby I'm coming home!
{Rod - Solo - 2 verses}
She's a hands-on lover,
Fingers down to the bone,
She's cozy under the cover,
Hold on baby, I'm coming home!
Bad bad lovin', a bad bad lovin' - Bad bad lovin', a bad bad lovin'.
Bad bad lovin', bad bad lovin' - Bad bad lovin', a bad bad love.
I'm talkin 'bout lovin',
Your bad bad lovin',
I'm talkin 'bout your love.
(Here's a song you might know -
Here I come, comin' for a taste of your love
Here I come, 'cause I like what you're doin' to me
Little by little, bit by bit
I'm fallin' in love all over again
Here I come, just like I did before
Here I come, love this time I'm sure
It takes two to make it
And I know I can't take it again
Here I come, comin' for a taste of your love
Here I come, just like I did before
What you did, you just came down on me
You got the lock but, baby, I hold the key
Little by little, bit by bit
I'm fallin' in love all over again
Comin' for a taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
I'm comin' for a taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
Sweet, sweet taste of your love
Comin' for a taste of your love
Sweet, sweet taste of your love
Comin', comin'
Comin' for a taste of your love
Comin', comin'

Tell me that I'm dreaming, girl I hope I am,
All this talk of leaving, it's hard to understand.
I thought I heard you whisper, something 'bout goodbye,
I thought I saw you walk away, but I never heard you cry.
When I wake up this time, baby, will you still be gone?
Or will you be here by my side, saying, "Baby, you're the one."?
I remember talking deep into the night,
Stumbling over simple words that refused to come out right.
When you said your mind was made up, nothing I could say,
Was it such a hard decision, for you to walk away?
Now I'm crying, I have a reason to,
I keep on trying,
Moving down the line,
I'm not too far behind,
Don't treat me so unkind,
Baby can I change your mind?
{Instrumental}
Now I still remember cold November nights,
Willing to surrender, knowing it was right.
Love me while the fire was burning,
It felt so warm inside.
The flame of love was shining brightly,
It never should have died.
Now I'm crying, I have a reason to,
I keep on trying,
Moving down the line.
I'm not too far behind,
Don't treat me so unkind,
Baby can I change your mind?
Peverett / Bassett - Loentz Music - ASCAP
In all this confusion, so sad to be alone,
In darkness and shadows - a place I call home.
You kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.
And now more than ever, in these ever-changing times,
Your love can help me, ease my troubled mind.
You kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.
Bring light to my blindness, and shelter from the rain,
Angel of mercy when you speak my name.
Back on that dark road, I know so well.
I'm so broken hearted, but no one, no one can tell,
Angel of mercy.
{Rod - Solo - verse, chorus}
Back on that dark road, I know so well,
I'm so broken hearted, but no one, no one can tell.
Whoah oh whoah oh.
Kill me with kindness, 'til I feel no pain,
Angel of mercy when you call my name.
Bring light to my blindness, shelter from the rain,
Angel of mercy, when you call my name,
Angel of mercy.

I looked for trouble and I found it son,
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun.
I'd try to run but I don't think I can,
You make one move and you're a dead man, friend.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back,
Then left me freezin' on a steel rail rack.
Can't sleep at all in the jailhouse baby,
Ain't livin' long like this.
Grew up in Houston on the wayside drive,
Son of a car hop in some all nite dive.
Dad drove a stock car to an early death,
All I remember was a drunk man's breathe.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
We know the story how the wheel goes 'round,
Don't let 'em take you to the man downtown,
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby? Ah take it!
{Erik - Solo}
I live for Angel, she's a road house queen,
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
I want to love her but I don't know how,
I'm at the bottom of a jailhouse now.
Ain't livin' long like this,
Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
You know the story 'bout the jailhouse rock,
Go on and do it, but just don't get caught.
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby.
Oh, ain't livin' long like this.
Oh no!
