Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me
She could not leave a number, but I know who placed the
call
My uncle took a message, and he wrote it on the wall
Help me, operator, more than this I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
Last time I saw Marie, she was wavin' me goodbye
With the "hurry-home" drops on her cheek that trickled in
her eye
But we were torn apart because me & her mama did not
agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
Help me, operator, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd call me here from Memphis,
Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes.
Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.
You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.
Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Mama, here's to mama
Who was the first to love me so
And tenderly helped me to grow, mama

I want my jockey to play.
Roll over beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.
You know, my temperatures risin
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
My hearts beatin rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin the blues.
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.
I got the rockin pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think Im rollin arthiritis
Sittin down by the rhythm review.
Roll over beethoven rockin in two by two.
Well, if you feel you like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
Roll it over and move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock it,
Roll it over,
Roll over beethoven rockin in two by two.
Well, early in the mornin Im a-givin you a warnin
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin my fiddle,
Aint got nothin to lose.
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin top.
She got a crazy partner,
Oughta see em reel and rock.
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop.
Roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven,
Well I walked up to her window
I said, gimme a ticket please
She said, where to mister?
I said, that's all right with me honey
[Chorus]
I'm just restless
I need to get on out of town
I need to go right now
Take me where the living's easy
Baby, that's where I'll be found
Huh-huh, right now
I said, honey tell that driver
To put his big foot on that gas
Run this old grey dog
Just as long as it might last
Chorus
I said, honey tell that driver
Take me farther down the road
Just take this grey dog
Any place he wants to go
I'm travelling light
Because I might be going far
Takin' nothing but the clothes on my back
And my big red guitar
Honey, I'm just restless
I need to get on out of town
Take me where the living's easy
Oh, let that jukebox keep on playin'
Let that record roll around
Let my baby keep on sayin'
She's a lonesome gal in town
Let 'er know that I'll be waitin'
When my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin'
Till I'm holdin' you
Oh, let those honky-tonkin' angels
Be the girls I never loved
Let 'em know its you I'm cravin'
It's you I'm dreamin' of
Let 'em know that I'll be waitin'
When my lonely days are through
let the jukebox keep on playin'
Till I'm holdin' you
Oh, let that jukebox keep on playin'
Let that record roll around
Let my baby keep on sayin'
She's a lonesome gal in town
Let 'er know that I'll be waitin'
When my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin'

I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud
Just four people that 's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black-land dirt
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
Though the circle won't be broken
By and by, Lord, by and by
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of us
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on
But I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
'cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
Oh no the circle won't be broken
By and by, Lord, by and by
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Who tells me that love me when the world turns me down

Well, she goes struttin' down the street In her sophisticated style
The way she's dressed was a knocking 'em wild
The cats started gazing till they called her out
Her pink pedal pushers was a-knocking 'em out
She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Her pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
She goes drivin' down the street in her brand new car
The cats started gazin' from near and far
She don't cause commotion till she steps outside
The cats get hip and holler, ooh-ooh man alive
She's wearin' pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
(Ooh wop a do)
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of the mall
She got the number one phones to high school hop
The older folks said she got to favor the mob
She's got more than I've ever had
She's a rock 'n' roll ditty with a brand new fad
She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
Well, they gave her a part in a high school play
They all chose her to play the old may
Curtain call had the crowd off the floor
Her pink pedal pusher, they stole the show
She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
Solo with the lyrics
(How does she go, pop)
Oh, Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
You've started back doin'
The things you used to do
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville
Cadillac rollin' on an open road
But nothin' outrun my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin' about ninety-five
Bumper to bumper rollin' side to side
Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
You've started back doin'
The things you used to do
Well,
The Cadillac moved to ahead of the Ford
A Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It just that time, it started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passin' lane
The rain water poured up
Under my motor hood
I knew that were doin' my motor good
Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
You've started back doin'
The things you used to do
Motor cooled down, the heat went down
That's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac seemin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half a mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill
Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
Oh, Maybelline
Why can't you be true?
You've started back doin'
Well I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes
Yeah I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes
I ain't got no matches, but I got a long way to go
I'm an ol' poor boy and a long way from home
I'm an ol' poor boy and a long way from home
Guess I'll never be happy, eveything I do is wrong, yeah
Well let me be your little dog, 'till your big dog comes
Let me be your little dog, 'till your big dog comes
When the big dog gets here, tell him what this little puppy done
Yeah I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes
Yeah I'm sitting here wondering, will a matchbox hold my clothes
I got no matches, got a long way to go
I work all day as a soda jerk
On my feet all the time and oh man, how they hurt
Don't make much, but I sure get the news
I don't have much time for gettin' the blues
My friends drop in for sodas and pop
There'll all talking, friends, about a new record hop
All day long I'm a-fillin' orders
Takin' in nickels, dimes and quarters
Cherry sodas and a chocolate shake
Strawberry sundaes and a lemon phosphate
Time to clean the fountain, 'cause it's almost five
You know me dad, after five I jive
I wanna jive, ah-ah-ah, I wanna jive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I wanna jive, yes, after five
Oh-oh-oh, I wanna jive, man alive, after five
Well, I mop the floor and I wipe the counter
I just work here dad, I'm not the founder
I keep a-workin' and a-watchin' the clock
A-peepin' out the window for my baby to stop
We'll head out of town to a little night dive
Because you know me dad, after five I jive
All day long I'm a-fillin' orders
Takin' in nickels, dimes and quarters
Cherry cokes and tall root beer
A coat of vanilla with a chocolate smear
Time to clean the fountain, 'cause it's almost five
You know me dad, after five I jive
I wanna jive, I wanna jive
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, and then we jive
Yeah, I wanna jive, yes, man alive
Come on now cat, let's jive
Everybody rock, I wanna jive
Ah-ah-ah, I wanna jive
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I wanna jive
Yes, I wanna jive
Man alive, I wanna jive
The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Oh, sometimes it ain't easy boy, to roll out bed
And shake the cobwebs a-hangin' from your head
But you were born to be in the human race
And if you don't start movin'
You're gonna finish in last place
You gotta go-go-go, go-cat-go-cat-go
Hey, that sun is up and you can not lay around
Get off your butt, you can't do it sittin' down
Don't say you can't, can't never did a thing
If you believe you can and you can do anything
You gotta go-go-go, go-cat-go-cat-go
You gotta go-cat-go, you gotta hit that floor
You got to go-go-go, you got to go
Go-go-go, go-cat-go-cat-go
(Now get gone!)
It will always be something, no matter who you are
Poor man has his worries, just like the movie star
Throw down your trouble, you get light on your feet
Just listen to the music boy, and move with the beat
You gotta go-go-go, go-cat-go-cat-go
Watch your step and stay off your brother's toes
If your brother needs your help, help him carry his
heavy load
And when this thing is over, someone greater than you
and I
Will award each winner with eternal life
You gotta go-go-go, go-cat-go-cat-go
You gotta go-cat-go, you gotta hit that floor
You got to go-go-go, you got to go
You gotta go-go-go, go-cat-go-cat-go
Ain't no doubt about it, this must be love
One little kiss from you and I feel glad all over
Ooh baby, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over

Ooh mercy, I'm a real cool pappy and I'm happy

Come on honey please one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Well I'm tryin' to tell you I'm cookin' inside
When we're cheek to cheek
Temperature's low but my fever is hot

Come on honey-bunny kiss me one more time
Everytime you do, well I feel glad all over
Ooh mercy, hot-dong-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over
Hot-dang-dilly, it's so silly but I'm glad all over

Here I am Lord, One more time Lord
Cold and hungry at your door
I am empty, I am broken
Take me in Lord, just once more
I’m a sailor, I’m a drifter
I have wandered the whole world through
But no matter where I go Lord,
Every road leads back to you
I’ve been searching on the mountain,
Cross the ocean deep and wide
Oh but now I found my answer
It was you, Lord, all the time
I’m a sailor, I’m a drifter
And I have wandered the whole world through
But no matter where I go Lord,
Every road leads back to you
On the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot.
Dan dropped in about five o'clock.
Pulled off his coat, said "The night is short."
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart.
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried."
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving.
He pulled out a razor, but he wasn't shaving.
And all the cats knew to jump and hop,
Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop.
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried."
The cops heard Dan when he started to shout.
They all ran in to see what it was about.
And I heard him holler as they led him away.
He turned his head, and this is what he had to say.
He hollered, "Rave on children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried."
Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law.
And through The black crossed bar he tossed a note.
And it said "It ain't my fault, hon, that I'm in here."
But He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone,

Just a little thing they call they poor man blues
I've been a working in a cotton field way down south
Choppin and a pickin' lord and followin' the plow
Tryin to make a livin' on the poor hard ground
I asked for a loan but the boss turned me down
But I'll keep on a workin' cause a can't get down
Another load of Cotton' gotta take into town
I'll take my little money and buy a new par' shoes
I got a woman sittin home humming the poor boy blues
She goes ahummmmmmmmmmmmmmm ahummmmmmmmm Poor old soul she goes ahummmmmmmmmmm mmmm mmmm
Just a little thing they call the poor boys blues
I got in debt to the bank and now I can't move on

Just a little thing they call the poor boys blues
Ah they say the great society goin' a change a few things
A farmer like me I wonder what it's goin'a bring
I don't pay taxes I say it with a smile
Cause I ain't never made enough in my life to file
But I'll keep on a workin' til the lord calls me home
There was an old woman that lived in a shoe
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do
They were doin' all right, till she took 'em to town
The kids started pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down
Now all your children wanna rock, mama
All your children want to roll
They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock
Well, we're not tryin' to live too fast
And we might as well try to live in class

'Cause we wanna live in a blue suede shoe
All your children want to rock, mama
All your children wanna rock
Wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock

They wanna roll, wanna rock, wanna bop till they pop
All your children want to rock

This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew his wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now he trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window-pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is a-gettin' shaky
This ole house is a-gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
Oh his knees are-a gettin' chilly
But he feel no fear or pain
'Cause he sees an angel peekin'
Through a broken window-pane
This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings its arms
This ole house is a-gettin' feeble
This old house is a-needin' paint
Just like him it's tuckered out
But he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Ain't a-gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window-pane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
Little children do not worry 'cause you still got lots of times
There's no need in walking backwards turn around and rise and shine
If your load always seems heavy and you're always left behind
Pick yourself up from the ground and jump right back and rise and shine Rise and shine in the early morning shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you stand right up and have your say'Cause the good Lord said he loved you and through him you're strict you're fine
Even though the world may use you turn around and rise and shine Look at how they did to Jesus while they nailed him to the cross
But he did up there on Calvary so the world would not be lost
So don't matter how they treat you if they slap you in the face
Just remember Jesus loves you on that cross he took your place Rise and shine in the early morning shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you stand right up and have your say'Cause the good Lord said he loved you and through him you're strict you're fine
Even though the world may use you turn around and rise and shine Rise and shine in the early morning shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you stand right up and have your say'Cause the good Lord said he loved you and through him you're strict you're fine
Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do Mama she done told me, Papa done told me too'Son, that gal you're foolin' with, She ain't no good for you'But, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues'Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your love dear, why'd you do me this way
Well, I never felt more like cryin' all night'Cause everything's wrong, there ain't nothin' right
Without you, you got me singin' the blue.s Now the moon and stars no longer shine

But cry over you (cry over you)Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But how can I go when I couldn't stay
Without you, you got me singin' the blues. Well, the moon and stars no longer shine
And the dream is gone that I thought was mine
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry, cry, cry, cry over you (cry over you)Well, I never felt more like runnin' away
But how can I go when I couldn't stay
Was all the summer, and all the fall, Just trying to find my little all in all But now she's gone, and I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day Just when she left me, she's gone to stay But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
An' you come runnin', holdin' up your hand Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man But now you're gone, and now I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Have been days, I didn't know your name Why should I worry or cry in vain But now she's gone, now I don't worry Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Went to the station, down in the yard Gonna get me a freight train, worked and got to home But now she's gone, and I don't worry Oh I'm sitting on top of the world
How do I know you love me How do I know you care How do I know you're my girl When I'm not even there

I can feel it (feel it) Nobody has to tell me so I can feel it (feel it) I feel it way down in my soul
With a dirty nose pressed hard against the window Of a candy store one day A ragged little girl stood barefoot While the hurried crowd went madly on their way
One lady stopped and smiled; she said, "I think I'll go inside, And would you like to come along with me?" Then behind that dirty face, she saw a smile that made her day They just don't make candy that sweet
Then she bought some shoes for her little feet Then dressed her up fit for a queen And with a smile that came from heaven She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you" With an angel twinkle in her eyes She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you And Boy, I sure look pretty" And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"
Are we walkin' too fast to see A barefoot child on a lonely street Are we rushin' by the ones in need Or will some child play for you and me
With a smile that came from heaven She said, "Ma'am", I sure do love you" With an angel twinkle in her eyes She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you And boy, I sure look pretty" And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

Where's this place called "Lonely Street?
I'm looking for that Lonely street I've got a sad, sad tale to tell I need a place to go and weep Where's this place called Lonely Street?
A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet Where's this place called Lonely Street?

Well, I prayed all week for Saturday night Turn my back on the sun and put the sack out of sight Take the long dusty road into town My feet kept the rhythm as I walked the hot ground But nothing could keep me from my favourite spot Where the chicks were a-waitin' and the music was hot Born to boogie (boogie) Lord, I got the rhythm (boogie woogie rhythm) And it wasn't very long Till I done the boogie woogie rhythm (Like this I did the boogie)
Well, Monday morning was always bad But it was worth it all for the time I had Lord oh Lordy, how I wish it would rain Just the sun have mercy on a country boy's pain But I make believe everything's all right Gonna do it again come Saturday night I do the boogie (boogie) Yeah-yeah, with lots of rhythm (boogie woogie rhythm) Lord, I learned to move by doin' that boogie woogie rhythm
It ain't my brother, ain't my sister But it's me, Oh Lord Standing in the need of love
It ain't the Preacher, ain't the Deacon But it's me, Oh Lord Standing in the need of love
Well, it's me (It's me) It's me, Oh Lord Standing in the need of love
It's me (It's me) It's me, Oh Lord Standing in the need of love
Hmm, well, I got a woman mean as she can be Well, I got a woman mean as she can be Sometimes I think she's almost mean as me
Right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo You tryin' a-do me like you did before No need hangin' baby 'round my door You got the right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo Right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo There's no need to hang-a, hang around my door I used to love you, but I-I don't no more You got the right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo
Well, I was so alone in the city park I met my baby, she was standing in the dark Took my lovin' baby by the hand I let her know that I'm her lovin' man I let her know that I'm her lovin' man That love rubbed off on me That baby wouldn't let me be That baby took me by the hand That love, I made her understand That love, I hollered no-no-no That baby wouldn't let me go Oh-oh!
Well, I'm a hot rod freak for a fancy car Drive-in movies and caviar Mink sport coats and a lot of things Even down to a wedding ring Even down to a wedding ring That love rubbed off on me That baby wouldn't let me be Oh, that love took me by the hand That love, I made her understand That love, I hollered go-go-go That baby wouldn't let me go Oh-oh! Yeah!
A-well-a bless my soul What's wrong with me? I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug I'm in love...ugh I'm all shook up Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
My hands are shaky and my knees are weak I can't seem to stand on my own two feet Who do you thank when you have such luck? I'm in love...ugh I'm all shook up Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
Please don't ask me what's on my mind I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine When I'm near the girl that I love best My heart beats so it scares me to death!
When she touched my hand what a chill I got Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot I'm proud to say she's my buttercup I'm in love...ugh I'm all shook up Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak My insides shake like a leaf on a tree There's only one cure for this body of mine That's to have the girl that I love so fine!
Well you can't make love to somebody When you got somebody else on your mind Oh you can't make love to another When you try you're just wasting your time Took my gal by the hand, started dancing I tried to lose these low down blues I couldn't hide Yeah, fell in love, the thought of her kept on shining Oh when you try you're just wasting your time Oh you can't make love to somebody When you got somebody else on your mind Oh you can't make love to another 'Cause when you try you're just wasting your time Rock!
No-one had to tell me twice When the fire went out I didn't know what true love meant But now I have no doubt
For looking back it had to be I see what I have lost I don't know how I lost you But I want you back again
Lord I miss you touching me And taking all my time And since you don't love me I miss you being mine
Haven't you been losing ???? ???? my craziest ???? I only know I love you And I want you back again
Have I burnt the candle For so long that it's gone It's too ???? But now ????
I never meant to hurt you Understand if you can Lord it hurts to lose you And I want you back again
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry That you have said good-bye I'm sorry, I'm not sorry You're gone and I don't want to cry
I wished I think there're different ways they you used to be I wish I still loved you and you still love me I wish I could say and it would not be true I'm not sorry you and I are through

On the outskirts of town, there's a little night spot.
Dan dropped in about five o'clock.
Pulled off his coat, said "The night is short."
He reached in his pocket and he flashed a quart.
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried."
Well, Dan got happy and he started raving.
He pulled out a razor, but he wasn't shaving.
And all the cats knew to jump and hop,
Cause he was born and raised in a butcher shop.
He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried."
The cops heard Dan when he started to shout.
They all ran in to see what it was about.
And I heard him holler as they led him away.
He turned his head, and this is what he had to say.
He hollered, "Rave on children, I'm with ya!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops are gone.
Let's all get Dixie fried."
Now, Dan was the bravest man that we ever saw.
He let us all know he wasn't scared of the law.
And through The black crossed bar he tossed a note.
And it said "It ain't my fault, hon, that I'm in here."
But He hollered, "Rave on, children, I'm with you!
Rave on, cats," he cried.
"It's almost dawn, the cops ain't gone,
