On the road for forty days,
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze. Sweet, sweet Connie -- doin' her act, She had the whole show and that's a natural fact. Up all night with Freddy King, I got to tell you poker's his thing. A-booze 'n ladies keep me right, As long as we can make it to the show tonight. *We're an American band. We're an American band. We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down. We're an American band. Four young chaquitas in Omaha, Was waitin' for the band to return from the show. Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night, The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight. Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan, They was out to meet the boys in the band. They said, "Come on, dudes, let's get it on," And we proceeded to tear that hotel down. *Repeat (4x) We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo. We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo. We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo. |

Mean mistreater, you make me cry,
You lay around, and watch me die. Mean mistreater, can't you see I'm real? Are you satisfied, with the way you feel? I've tried hard to live without you, in so many ways. I just can't help myself from thinking of you, for the rest of my days. Heartache is at my door step, won't leave me alone. I just can't get used to it, now that I'm on my own. I know all about you, your childhood days, Your mom and dad, your pretty face. Mean mistreater, if you need me, I'm needin' you to set me free. Mmmm ... |

And return me, my ship. I'm your captain, I'm your captain, Although I'm feeling mighty sick. I've been lost now, days uncounted, And it's months since I've seen home. Can you hear me, can you hear me, Or am I all alone. If you return me, to my home port, I will kiss you mother earth. Take me back now, take me back now, To the port of my birth. Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming, To take my ship away from me? You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it. So, please don't take my ship from me. Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I can feel the hand, of a stranger, And it's tightening, around my throat. Heaven help me, Heaven help me, Take this stranger from my boat.
