Just the smile that is spreading all over her face
Could warm up the room and set fire to the place Yes, it could, you know it could Now, the fog is clinging all over the town Put one foot in front then you just might fall down On the ground, she's in town Like the rain that is falling all over the land She cools down my mind when she touches my hand Feels so good, yeah, so good Well, just the smile that is spreading all over her face Could warm up the room and set fire to the place Yes, she could, you know it could |

Well I don't know anymore
I don't know why I feel so sore I only know I love you more I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye The people say you fade away >From my mind you wouldn't stay But you get stronger there everyday You know I feel so alone I think I'll wave myself goodbye This time next time it's all the same I'll just go on playin a losin game Until one day baby I'll even forget your name Someday someday It takes a fool too long to see Can't make out the wood for the trees I must have been blind as I could be But now I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye Well I don't know anymore I've lost you for sure I only know I want you more I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye |

Hands up reach for the sky
And I will tell you why This is just a game I'm playin You won't feel the same I'm betting now Get up you know this time That you made up your mind Think of all the dreams you're chasin Think of all the time you're wastin now My world is upside down My inside is inside out I'm hangin to a leaf that's shakin That's hangin to a branch that's breakin off now Go out into the night Left to the sky You'll walk out the shoes you're wearin Might even lose your blues, no tellin now |

City streets and rolling cars,
The only sound you can hear. But you know you might be wrong, Just look right over here. Back up against the wall, Hands on the bottle. You're gonna walk on by, Then he cries you gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta. Take that sinner boy home, Wrap him up, keep him warm, He won't do no harm. Take him home right away, He's got no place to stay, Let him walk right inside your home. Go on and ask him his name, Let him try and explain, What in the world done him wrong. Tell the man, lift him up, Take away the paper cup. One more inside him won't do him no good. Sinner boy, Take that sinner boy home, Wrap him up, keep him warm, He won't do no harm. Take him home right away, He's got no place to stay, Let him walk right inside your home. Take that sinner boy home, Wrap him up, keep him warm, He won't do you, he won't do you no harm. |

You've done me wrong,
For the last time, You've sung your song, Now I'm going to sing mine, Out loud, so loud, Like the roaring sea. You've played around, For the last time, You've shown your claws, Now I'm going to show mine, Watch out, I'll be about, In the night. You ran around, Since the very first day, You've had your moment, Now I'm gonna have my play, So long, I'll be gone, In the night. You put me down, For the very last time, I hit the floor, But I got up on the count of nine, Goodbye, don't cry, When I'm gone. |

But I haven't been late yet, I'm gonna to be on time. For today's the day that you are coming back. And I can't wait to see you materialize. How much can I take now before I break inside? How long will it take now before I realize, That I can't live without you by my side, And nothing else will keep me satisfied? I've looked at my heart now and I trusted my eyes. I made that mistake now ain't gonna make it twice. But time can put the man on the other side. And I can't wait to see what's left behind. I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a thorn in your side.
Tell me what you gave me baby, and I will give you back. The troubles you gave me, gonna wrap em' up in a box, Tie em' up with string, send em' back to you, They no longer mean a thing to me. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Baby I no longer wanna be, just a cushion for your pride. Here's my fastback baby, this man's got a ride away. Before you make me change my mind, I'll be gone before you notice, that I'm not around. You'll look everywhere baby, but I just won't be found. Better get used to bein' my used to be. I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would change your mind. Owww... I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would suddenly change your mind. Owww... Baby I remember a time when you, really used to try. But now-a-days baby, you can't even look me in the eye. Your love is drifting with the tide. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. |

I don't know where I'm going,
Don't know where I've been. 'Cause I haven't seen my baby, Since I don't know when. I'm walking down that long road, With a smile up on my face. I'm broken hearted, But you won't see a trace. Feeling disconnected, These blues are out to kill. Sweep them in the corner, Put 'em in the bin. All right so you don't sympathise, Don't expect that you should. Walk right for one day you might, Run into this patch of grey clouds too. All right so you don't sympathise, I don't expect that you should. Stay bright for one day you might, Run into this patch of grey clouds too. Gravel in my pockets, From the places I have been, The soles of my shoes are paper thin. I got sand here in my pockets. From the place that I come from. That's where I'm going, So I'll say so long...yeah. |

Running through a pool of rain
I think i'll do it one more time again I hope i always feel this way maybe i will Searching for a piece of ground where i can lay my body down with the earth for a pillow under my head Wake up in the morning it's a brand new day And though it seems the same it's different from yesterday Then i read the leaves and put my cup away Running down a country lane Looking on a a field of grain Just to see you smile makes me feel alive again Opening another door I'll see what i have not seen before Maybe i'll find what i'm looking for Running through a pool of rain I think i'll do it one more time again I hope i always feel this way maybe i will maybe i will |

Trying to make sense. Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence, Whole lotta people too proud to call, 'Cause it won't get no help at all. Everybody's waiting for the good news day, But it seems so far away. Wonder if it's ever gonna come, 'Cause the way it's been, The restless one. Lot of things have gotta change, If it's not already too late. But it is worth the wait, So, let's not hang our heads, The light will shine one day. Lot of things have gotta change, If it's not already too late. But it is worth the wait, So, let's not hang our heads, The light will show through yet. Yeahh... Now listen baby, and listen well, I've got only one thing to tell. Don't you worry about people telling lies, They're only catching flies. Yeahhh.. A whole lotta people talking, Trying to make sense. Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence, Whole lotta people too proud to call, 'Cause it won't get no, 'Cause it won't get no, 'Cause it won't get no, Help at all, Help at all. |

But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg Or a poor man much to proud to beg Or a page from a book that can't be read at all Well you can see by the way that they are talking That it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking 'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and don't turn around and wave goodbye at all They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah You can say it's a lie, a joke that you are living But you know one thing they don't, You won't give in 'Cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail makes a million circles But you're gonna fail Sometimes you just don't understand |

Go on down to new Orleans, The greatest place you ever been, Head on down to the river bend, Dig the music of the Cajun bands, Honky-tonk piano, Make you feel good, Open your ears, To rhythm 'n' blues. Well, did you ever wake up, With them bullfrogs on your mind? Well, did you ever wake up, With them bullfrogs on your mind? You had to sit there laughin', Laughin' just to keep from crying. Well, did you ever wake up, With that one woman on your mind, Well, did you ever wake up, With that one woman on your mind, You had to sit there laughing, Laughing just to keep from crying. |

Tattoo'd lady,
Bearded baby, They're my family. When I was lonely, Something told me, where, I could always be. Where I could, Wish for pennies, If we had any. You'd meet me down, At the shooting gallery. Yes I'm a, Fair ground baby. Wonder what made me, Fall for the pearly queen. I spent my youth, Under canvas roof, As I roamed from town to town. I'm not fooling, When I say I got no schoolin', Never like the class bell sound. From the caravan, I hear the fairground band, Sounding good as they can be. You know I can't be found, But if you look around, Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn. Alright Now hear it on the loud speaker say, The fire eater is a real fine sight to see, Yeah he's a death cheater, Some kind of central heater, Be sure to save a seat for me. Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie, She's no baby, The law came, And tried to close her sideshow down. But soon she had the D.A. cheering, The police chief wearing, Her garter for a crown. I spent my youth, Under canvas roof, As I roamed from town to town. I'm not fooling, When I say I got no schoolin', Never like the school bell sound. From the caravan, I hear the fairground band, Sounding good as they can be. You know I can't be found, But if you look around, Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn. Yeah Tattoo'd lady, Bearded baby, They're my family. When I was lonely, Something told me, where, I could always be. Where I could, Wish for pennies, If we had any. You'd meet me down, At the shooting gallery. Tattoo'd lady |

If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock
If I was a pony then you'd let me trot If I was the atom then you'd split me into three But when I want to see you, baby How come you lock your door on me? If I was a baby you wouldn't let me fall If I was an outlaw you wouldn't have me caught If I was a tiger you wouldn't have me caged If I was somebody else you would act your age You'll miss out if you leave me out of your day and night I will try to make you see and hear what I got to say It's all about me and you, alright If I was a blind man then you'd make me see If I was a deaf man you'd give me hears to hear If I was a lame man you'd give me legs to walk But if you were true to me, baby You would listen when I talk If I was a cradle then you'd let me rock If I was a pony then you'd let me trot If I was the atom then you'd split me into three But when I want to see you, baby How come you lock your door on me? |

They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure
And when they made you They made sure they threw away the mould It comes as no surprise to me That I wanna be in your vicinity If I stand close to you, I'm not sure if I'm really there With my feet on the ground but my head's lost in the air Oh, how I wish you could see That I'd love to be in your vicinity Where would I go, what would I do If you should run from me? How does it show when you're to lose Will you explain to me? There's something growing There's something showing There's something won't let me be Where would I go, what would I do If you should run from me? How does it show when you're to lose Will you explain to me? There's something growing There's something showing There's something won't let me be They don't make them like you anymore, that's for sure And when they made you They made sure they threw away the mould Oh, how I wish you could be I wanna be in your vicinity Well, I've heard that one day Everything comes to him who waits Well, that may be so, but you know it might be too late Oh, how I'd love to see That I wanna be in your vicinity ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RORY GALLAGHER <i>Lyrics © BUGHOUSE MUSIC OBO STRANGE MUSIC LTD</i> |

I could sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie. I can't keep my eyes open, No matter how I try. I gotta sit down, I can't stay on my feet. I been up all night, I been walkin' the street. Oh yeah... Looking for my baby, But everywhere I've gone. Tell me I just missed her, It's gone on too long. Well, I'd go up on a mountain, And I'd fight a wild cat. Walk over Niagara, And all the way back. Get lost in the jungle, And I'd live up a tree. That's what I would want to do, If you would stay with me. Oh yeah... Looking for you baby, Gone from pillar to post. Wverywhere I'd just missed you baby, By a minute at the most. Well I'm looking for you baby, In the cafe's and the bar. All the places is glad to know you, And they say you cannot go too far. But you've gone far enough baby, If I find out I've done nothing wrong. Don't have to ask who's the fool, I won't be the one. Owwwww.......not a loser... Well, I would sleep on the tail-plane, Of a Jumbo Jet. Walk over the Ocean And I'd never once get wet. Go skating on an iceberg, And that's what I would once do. Lay it down a dozen times, Just to hear you say, "I Love You". Looking for you baby, But everwhere I go. Tell me I just missed you baby, By a minute at the most. Well, I could, Sleep on a clothes line, As easy as pie. I can't keep my eyes open, No matter how I try. I gotta sit down, I can't stay on my feet. I been up all night, I been walkin' the street. Yeah... Looking for you baby, Everwhere I go. Tell me I just missed you baby, You know, it's gone on too long. Yeah.. Gone too long baby. Yeah.. |

This hotel bar is full of people
The piano man is really laying it down Even the old bartender is as high as a steeple So why tonight should I wear a frown? The joint is jumping all around me And my mood is really not in style Right now the blues flock to surround me But I'll break out after a while Well, I'm a million miles away I'm a million miles away Sailing like a driftwood On a windy bay Yes, I'm a million miles away I'm a million miles away Sailing like a driftwood On a windy bay Why ask how I feel? Well, how does it look to you? I fell hook, line and sinker Lost my captain and my crew I'm standing on the landing And there's no one there but me That's where you'll see me Looking out on the deep blue sea There's a song on the lips of everybody There's a smile all 'round the room There's conversation overflowing So why must I sit here in the gloom This hotel bar has lost all its people The piano man has caught the last bus home The old bartender sleeps in the corner So why must I still be here?, I don't know, let me tell you I'm a million miles away I'm a million miles away Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay I'm a million miles away I'm a million miles away Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay Yes, I'm a million miles away I'm a million miles away Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay Well, I'm a million miles I'm a million miles, I'm a million miles Sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, oh, oh yeah |

Who cooled your goose, who took the wind out of your sails? You blew it baby, now look what you've done You made me fall down, now you wanna run Supposin' baby, we had just now met Well, I guess I'd fall again, so why should I have some regrets?

I can see the painting on the wall,
Mixtures of different colors. And I go walking in the Arizona sun, Slow walking peace of mind. The cactus blooms, the sand dunes, No city lights, I can see for miles, And my mind goes on forever. The sun goes to bed, Leaving sky of firey red. Each step takes me closer to heaven. All is full, all is nice, and all is well, But when I turn I can see my fellow man, Fighting in the city streets, And dieing where they dwell. Each step takes them closer to heaven. I can see the painting on the wall, Mixtures of different colors. And I go walking in the Arizona sun, Each step takes me closer to heaven. I go walking in the Arizona sun, I go walking in the Arizona sun, I go walking in the Arizona sun. |

Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said? Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Born on the green light, a mission to move Something to prove, an itch in my shoes I heard then wail of a train From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back Well the engineer threw the switch And it got to my brain, I've never been the same You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again Born a spoke of the wheel Not a part of the set and I'm running yet I ran before I could walk The price of the fare was hardly ever there Saw an eight wheeler move And I couldn't choose I just had to cruise You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Well I was born on the side of a road A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again |

Well, the rain ain't fussy about where it lands,
It'll find you hiding no matter where you stand. It's gonna rain brother, and it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. It ain't too funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your love sick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Watch out brother, be alert, But whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt, show that hurt. I've been subjected, I've been so distressed, Come back baby, to clean up this mess, Clean up this mess. It ain't so funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Yeah, the rain ain't fussy about where it falls, It rains on one like it rains on all. But when it falls brother, it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. Watch out brother, be alert, Whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt. |

I'll admit you're gone - when I think I'm able,
Just like in that song, you turned all the tables, Now I know I'm wrong, life is hard to shoulder, I won't last too long, each day is getting colder. Falling constantly, shadows haunting me, Moving silently, day by day, Watching hopefully, waiting anxiously, That you might hear me, someday. That's what I pray, That's all I pray, I'm gonna be ok, it's gonna be okay. Looking ahead, there's nothing but blue days, But somehow I keep hanging on. I should spend time looking for new ways, 'Cos blue days have taken quite a toll. The journey we were on - can't believe it's over, I can feel the storm, but I can't run for cover. Where do I belong I just keep on searchin'? I want to see the dawn of the day when stop hurting. Falling constantly, shadows haunting me, Moving silently, day by day. Watching hopefully, anxiously, That you might hear me, someday. That's what I pray, That's all I pray, It's gonna be ok, I'm gonna be okay. |

I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean,
Surely you see that my world's been broken? Here I am, where are you? Help me please, pull me through. Here I am, where are you? All my days are edged in blue.

You seemed to be like a real good idea,
At the time, at the time. You lifted me up to some higher ground, Then you knocked me down on the ground. But I rue that day like I don't know how. You picked me up right out of the tide, My eyes weren't open wide. I was blind, But I see much better, much better now. Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves, I walked on a tightrope, didn't lose my nerve. Stayed on the canvas, couldn't count me out, Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out and how. All fifty rounds. Well, I roll with the punches, I sway with the curves, I walked on a tightrope, didn't lose my nerve. Stayed on the canvas, couldn't count me out. Never threw in the towel, yeah, I saw the fight out and how. You lifted me up to some higher ground, Then you knocked me down on the ground. You lifted me up right out of the tide, My eyes weren't open wide. I was blind, But I see much better, much better now. You seemed to be like a real good idea, At the time, don't know why. But I rue that day like I don't know how, I rue that day as of now. I rue that day like I don't know how. |

Well, you think you're sitting pretty
But you're sitting on a powder keg. Well, you think you're standing steady But you're weak as a matchstick leg. Well, there's a rumble in the city, There's a call out for your head. Now isn't it a pity Your future's just a lump of lead. But now you're running scared, you've got no place to run; You're caught between the law and the Big Guns. Well, it's a long way from the pool halls, Through the rackets and the petty crime. Well, you thought you were a tough one But you've bitten off too much this time. You've stepped on the wrong toes, Now look who you've upset. You walked on the wrong toes, You've got your picture on the police gazette. Well, now you're running scared, you've got no place to run; Yor're caught between the law and the Big Guns. Your backis against a wall, you don't like it there at all. Now you!re too proud to fall, you got no friends you can call. Well, you never felt so gritty, The sweat's pouring down your back. You're like a tiger in the jungle And you can't find your way back. You hadn't played your cards right, You hadn't seen the signs, Well, you tried to run the whole game, Now you've come to the end of the line. Well, now you're running scared, you've got no place to run; Now you're face to face with the Big Guns. |

Well, he's drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop,
Trying to quell a feeling he knows ain't gonna stop, He's mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe. He had the D.T.'s for breakfast, the shakes till noon, He picked up his bag and left the motel room, His head is held high but his heart is on it's knees. Well, he packed his guitar and his bar-room tan, Gotta get some miles behind him as fast as he can, Another destination, some place else to play. Well, he left a life behind him in some old trailer park. They tried to make it work; it was ruined from the start. He had to shake the rust, it became time to leave. It's a honky-tonk engagement, But there's no better place to play. His face feels like crazy pavement, It's getting more lined every day. Well, he's gonna write a letter and try to explain, She says he's too old to have these growing pains, But something keeps him moving, living on through the night. But as the night approaches, a change is in the air, His heart is pumping fast, he's got no cares. The music befriends him, it can take him anywhere. It's a honky-tonk engagement, But there's no better place to play. His mind feels like crazy pavement, He's getting crazed out every day. Well, he's drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop, Trying to quell a feeling he knows ain't gonna stop, He's mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe. He had the D.T.'s for breakfast, the chills till noon, He picked up his bag and left the motel room, His head is held high but his heart is on it's knees. |

You give me double vision, strange transmission,
When you walk in the room. Tongue-tied feeling, can't see the ceiling, You've turned out the moon. Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do. You give me double vision, strange condition, When you act that way. I'm walking sideways, my nights become days, But I feel okay. Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do. You give me double vision, soul transmission, When you act so cruel. My mind is reeling, can't see the ceiling, 'Cause you've turned out the moon. Tell me, mama, what you're trying to do. You got me jumpin' like a man with the voodoo. Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do. You got me mad like a man with the voodoo. |

Who's that calling way out there?
I've got your signal, loud and clear. In the distance a light is near, Through the night, sharp as a spear. My mind sees all the things my eyes can't see, What are you trying to say to me? I've got your signal, Feel your signal. Everything seems very strange, And now you're not that far away. I feel so calm, I don't feel fear, Behind that light I know you're there. My ears hear sounds I've never heard before, Tell me what you've really come here for. I've got your signal, Ohh.... feel your signal. There's a beacon flashing in the distant night, Don't feel time passing right before my eyes. Is my dreaming beyond control? I feel these movements here below. Is this the end, or is there more? I'll stay suspended for evermore. My eyes hear all the things my heart can't see, What are you trying to do to me? I've got your signal, Feel your signal. There's a beacon flashing in the distant sky, Don't feel time passing right before my eyes. Who's that calling from way out there? Got your signal, loud and clear. In the distance I know you're there, Through the night, sharp as a spear. My mind sees all the things my eyes can't see, What are you trying to say to me? Well, I've got your signal, I've got your signal, Feel your signal. |

My heart's in trouble, my soul's on fire,
My mind is aching for my one desire. This heavy weather, will it never seem to end, I start to wonder will my poor heart ever mend. I don't know what I am supposed to think, This must be some kind of jinx. My line's been tapped, my mail's been screened, I could be wrong but that's the way I feel, Everything I try just crumbles before I start, Feel like a lost child, searching in the dark. Will I swim or will I sink, This must be some kind of jinx. You've got your heart locked up, And you've thrown away the key, Feel like I'm sinking down, Into the endless sea. My heart's uneasy, my soul's on fire, You're the ice--please put out this fire. This crazy weather, will it never seem to end. It's getting harder with all the bad news that you send. I don't know what I am supposed to think, This must be some kind of jinx. I don't care what anybody thinks, 'Cos this must be some kind of jinx. Will I swimor will I sink, This must be some kind of jinx. |

Now you're not so carefree. You found the thorn behind the rose, You took it, oh, so badly. Lost inside yourself, You've gotta break out soon. You've gotta try again, To hear a brand new tune. Oh yeah... Once easy come and easy go, You just hear sad notes lately. You use to fly and chase the wind, I don't know you lately. Don't take it, oh, so bad, Things are gonna change. Don't make it, oh, so sad, The sun will shine again. Oh yeah... Please don't lock me out, What's it all about? I'll change it all completely, Won't you let me in, Don't you need a friend? If I can help, just call me. I'm easy come and easy go, Don't paint it all so sadly. Before you know the light will shine, Don't burn out completely. Locked inside yourself, You've gotta break out soon. Come on and try again, And hear a different tune. Oh yeah... |

Ain't got a dime. Standing under your window, That ain't no crime. Keeping out of the weather, Up for the dawn. Yeah I'm stealing stealing, When I should be gone.

Why you trying to act so tough, Tell me what's my crime. yeah Nine 'o'clock in the morning, Still no sign. Turn on the big sun, Switch down the night. Like a hand in a glove. We were partners in crime, I'm goin to leave here. Shouldn't be here, Walk down that lonely mile. |

Well that cat I will be paying, C'mon and get your share, I've got transportation, And I can get you there.

Well, the fat man plays that upright, Freeze you at the knees, This band's in full control, of 37 and one half keys. In this full scale commotion, The place will never drop, You better leave town gracefully, If you're too pooped to pop. You better leave town gracefully, If you're too stuped to stop.

Well, the rain ain't fussy about where it lands,
It'll find you hiding no matter where you stand. It's gonna rain brother, and it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. It ain't too funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your love sick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Watch out brother, be alert, But whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt, show that hurt. I've been subjected, I've been so distressed, Come back baby, to clean up this mess, Clean up this mess. It ain't so funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Yeah, the rain ain't fussy about where it falls, It rains on one like it rains on all. But when it falls brother, it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. Watch out brother, be alert, Whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt. |

Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said? Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Born on the green light, a mission to move Something to prove, an itch in my shoes I heard then wail of a train From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back Well the engineer threw the switch And it got to my brain, I've never been the same You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again Born a spoke of the wheel Not a part of the set and I'm running yet I ran before I could walk The price of the fare was hardly ever there Saw an eight wheeler move And I couldn't choose I just had to cruise You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Well I was born on the side of a road A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again |

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a thorn in your side.
Tell me what you gave me baby, and I will give you back. The troubles you gave me, gonna wrap em' up in a box, Tie em' up with string, send em' back to you, They no longer mean a thing to me. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Baby I no longer wanna be, just a cushion for your pride. Here's my fastback baby, this man's got a ride away. Before you make me change my mind, I'll be gone before you notice, that I'm not around. You'll look everywhere baby, but I just won't be found. Better get used to bein' my used to be. I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would change your mind. Owww... I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would suddenly change your mind. Owww... Baby I remember a time when you, really used to try. But now-a-days baby, you can't even look me in the eye. Your love is drifting with the tide. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. |

Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there, When that drummer hits the rim shot, It almost busts the snare. You put on your cat clothes, And I will put on mine, Together pretty babe, We're gonna cruise on down the line. Come on and cruise on out with me, Won't you cruise on out with me. Well that cat I will be paying, C'mon and get your share, I've got transportation, And I can get you there. Well I know your daddy's anxious, That you told a lie, I guess he's goin' to blow his stack, If you don't come home on time. Come on and cruise on out with me, Won't you cruise on out with me. Yeah... Well this feelin' I will pick it, Just as long as you will stay, The boys in the band will play all night, If they would have their way. If you want to dress up to the night, And look like something else, I'm goin' to put on my alligator shoes, I'll go out to play.. Come on cruise on out with me, Won't you cruise on out with me. Well, the fat man plays that upright, Freeze you at the knees, This band's in full control, of 37 and one half keys. In this full scale commotion, The place will never drop, You better leave town gracefully, If you're too pooped to pop. You better leave town gracefully, If you're too stuped to stop. Come on cruise on out with me, Well, won't you cruise on out with me. Well that cat you will be payin', You ought to make you there, When that drummer hits the rim shot, It almost busts the snare. You put on your cat clothes, And I will put on mine, Together pretty babe, We're gonna step on down the line. Won't you cruise on out with me, Come on, cruise on out with me. Won't you cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out with me. Won't you cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out, Cruise on out with me.

Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' its stack
Spreading its wings on homeward track Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for Come on baby lets jump aboard It's a mean piece of transport baby You know that's no joke On board the aging gamble smiles as he peels The seal off a new deck, then he quietly deals Hands round the table from the bottom he slips three Watch yourself if you play this game the fastest card game on wheels Come on, won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear them talkin' about it together we could race the breeze It shines out a light, in the darkest night To make us feel alright To make us feel alright I've prayed every night That you will wanna go there too Come on darlin', let's go Night is over as the dawn begins to crack Sounds like a hen hatching in a chicken shack Late last night I think I heard a lonely cry Heard the blind owl howling in a moonless sky Come on Won't you be there when it leaves Can't ya hear me talkin' Together we could race the breeze Old engine driver never stepped on the ground Got no degree in geography but he's been around Knows all the back lines, eyes can hardly see Don't tell this man to slow down 'Cause he don't know what you mean Come on Won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear me talkin baby Together we can race the breeze It shines out a light, in the darkest night To make us feel alright To make us feel alright I've prayed every night That you will wanna go there too Alright Well that sounds like the night train, blowin' its stack Spreading its wheels on homeward track Arrived here this morning, won't be here for long As fast as a shooting star, that's' what them eight wheels are for Won't you be there when it leaves Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze Can't you hear me talkin' baby Together we can race the breeze |
