Standing by the roadside Future in my hands Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold Turn my back to the wind Winter mist along the coast City lights closed down Your empty station there Freight line cuts the ground Freight line cuts the ground
*Crystal light shining bright Shine on down for me Moon is even passing by Trying not to see Like a fool I hit that road Did my time at sea Life was only fooling me
Oh despair, it bums my lungs Find it hard to breathe The hospital shut their gates I can't get me no peace Wicked people stand and scream Stumble the road Close my eyes, turn out the lights Haven't found a dream Haven't found a dream
Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in She walked up to me and really stole my heart And then she started to take my body apart
*Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please Oh I'm goin' fast Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast It's only just a moment She's turning paranoid That's not a situation for a nervous boy
**Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strength, and I can't take any more
Seventeen a nature's queen, know what I mean Twenty one, a long one, and you can see the numbers run Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep With the wings of god above you Before the spirits meet --Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom * Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Shadow work is closin' in above the lamps in your street Lucifer goes walkin' down free to meet Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock Heaven don't open when you knock * Repeat
With all darkness closin' in Will the light reveal your soul one sweet kiss on your clay cold lips Ill know sleep you'll never know Where do we go, where do we go Where do we go from here
Well, I'm struttin' up and down Tryin' to get my face in town Wonderin' the hang where To turn each time around Look in your mirror just to see my face Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed
Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel When ya dance, I move and they look me in the eye Two way time, baby, it's no lie Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed Oh my, how the times have changed
Some folk built like this, some folk built like that But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk built like this, some folk built like that But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs But if you want me, you got to take your time Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
But I got everything all the good girls need I ... I love you baby I ... I love you baby But I got everything all of the good girls need
And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place With the sun up in my eyes Symbols of the morning comin' on With the love that's got too strong to hold If I'd been so much wiser then I would have known which path to choose Heaven help the lucky one Heaven help you
Heard the news come on the radio About the loves and the flame I'd already heard before
Baby, two years ago
Say it's too hard to return Now it seemed just like a dream I saw and already seen it On my tv screen
Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on Don't you think you could show some thanks I just might give you a standin' ovation When I'm here and gone
You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson Hot & Ready, ready to use Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question Hot & Ready, ready to use I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd you... Hot & Ready, ready to use Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into Hot & Ready, ready to use I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe (2x)
---(instrumental)---
I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe (2x) --(instrumental to fade out)---
Gotta give you love oh cherry dance for me there's only you play the barrooms just for pennies Wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now We are golden , We are golden And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone Into the highways of thei night I roll alone
On the tabletops she's dancing, sit and smile into your beer Turn around no cherry for me, let me know you know I'm here We are golden, We are golden And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone Into the highways of the night, making it feel all right Come on cherry let's make it together Out of the neon and into my life We can't play this game forever, now..... * (instrmental)
Gotta give my love oh Cherry, dance for me there' s only you play the barrooms just for pennies, wish I wasn't just passing through Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now We are golden, we are golden And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone into the highways of the night I roll alone
* Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll Let it roll Let it roll, let it go Let it roll
** She'd skid up, and we really let it down Layin' it out, let it roll
When these wheels get rollin' Let 'em roll right over you The time will be sound and I'll always put it through Let it roll, let it roll Let it roll
Oh it's been too many times and i can't go back Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks What it mounts up to i don't want it at all Lost you and i want you today
* misty green and blue Love to love to love you Misty green and blue Love to love to love you
To be something, to be with you Don't say that you'll never know
Love to love to love you
[instrumental]
Half the time it could seem funny The other half is just too sad This west bound moon's they rise and fall Lost you and i want you today
* repeat
To be something, to be near you I don't know where i'm goin' to I've tried and i need you to stay
* Lady loves to hang on Lady liked a real intellectual Sweet sister your still shaking And your tragedy is never ending Silver shoes you're wearing Every window that you've ever stared in Over my head, over my head
Sidewalks of the city And every theater there you've ever played Your comic book impersonations Your wish for cinders embers to keep Over my head, so it' all
** Out in the street for just one more matinee Yes, your vaudeville carries on So put a smile in front your man can see Yes, your vaudeville carries on
Who's taking time out, we'll take a shine out We're the boys we got nothing to lose I've had enough now of school and stuff now If you ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me rock me Come on back now d o it again Only you can rock me, rock me Kicking out just like a hurrican3
We can't wait from day to day Cuz we've got something to say we can't wait from day to day Cuz we've got something to say
Come on the street now on every corner breaking out and we're doing what we want to Just like a jewel shines in the night she burns so hot out under the street light
chorus
We are here and there's no end we keep on coming again we are here and there's no end we just keep coming again
instrumental
Who's taking time out, we take a shine out We're the boys we got nothing to lose I've had enough now of school
and stuff now If you aint with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me, rock me Come on back now, do it again Only you can rock me, rock me Kickin' out just like a hurricane
We can't wait from day to day Cuz we've got something to say We are here and there's no end We'll keep on coming again
We can't wait from day to day Cuz we've got something to say We are here and there's no end We'll keep on coming again
* Try to make some changes really on the line Given your religion, never ever time All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more
Lovin' up some ransom, weapon and a gun Just your education, hard to understand Will the teenage lesion make a mark on you Make a big tome status, then we run them through
** Mother Mary could you ever really feel the same And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy
* Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around So cocksure, thingin' aloud Can't get it in when you can't get it out Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile Stop bein' a star only for a while Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm And that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day So come on girl, we really got to get away It's the only chance you'll ever have to take Stayin' in this city will drive you insane
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose Now til next year it'll always be the same The black back streets an people who don't know your name Go with the wind if it'll only carry you away
Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in She walked up to me and really stole my heart And then she started to take my body apart
*Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please Oh I'm goin' fast Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast It's only just a moment She's turning paranoid That's not a situation for a nervous boy
**Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strength, and I can't take any more
Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home They locked the doors and I'm left out alone
* You can come to my place and sleep on the couch Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out Hard times out on the street Hard times, hard to beat
* The painted lies they all hand you I'm a loser on the road I'm a loser on the road, yeah
Houston station and it's cold as ice All night specials, they move you on But me and Ginger over there We got this thing where we really take care
* Repeat ** Repeat I'm a loser, I'm a loser I'm a loser
