All right yea
I met this girl around quarter to ten
We made it once she said "make me again"
She wrapped her love around me all night long
In the mornin' we were still goin' strong
Now let me tell ya it sure feels good
First time I saw that girl I knew it would
Now let me tell ya it sure felt right
No pullin' teeth she didn't want to fight she said
Shake me
All night
She said
Shake me
Shake it don't break it baby
Shake me
All night
She said
All night long
All night long baby
Screamed and scratched and rolled out of the bed
I never really got her out of my head
And now and then she makes those social calls
Gives me a squeeze gets me kickin' the walls
Now let me tell ya it still feels tight
And we were shakin' after every bite
I feel her comin' in the middle of the night
screamin' higher
Shake me
All night
She said
Shake me
Shake it don't break it baby
Shake me
All night
She said
Shake me
ooo yea
All night, keep the fire burnin' cause we're doin' all right
All night, come on and shake it right
Shake me
Shake me
Shake me
Shake me
Shake me
All night
She said
Shake me
Shake it don't break it baby
Shake me
All night
She said
Shake me
ooo yea
Shake me
Shake me
Shake me
Shake me

I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It's time you realize
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's foooool
I'm no fooool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again no no
You take your road I'll take mine,
The paths have both been beaten
Searchin' for a change of pace
Life needs to be sweetened
I scream my heart out just to make a dime
And with that dime I bought your love
But now I've changed my mind
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again no no
I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
since we broke the ties
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool

When I was a young boy
they said you're only gettin' older
but how was I to know then
that they'd be cryin' on my shoulder
put your money in a big house
get yourself a pretty wife
She'll collect your life insurance
when she connects you with a knife
Somebody get the doctor,
I'm feelin' pretty poor,
somebody get the stretcher
before I hit the floor
Somebody save me
I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree,
Somebody save me
save me
Everybody's got opinions
but nobody's got the answers
and the shit you ate for breakfast
well it'll only give ya cancer
We're runnin' in a circle
runnin' to the mornin' light
and if ya ain't quite workable
It's been one hell of a night
Somebody get the doctor,
I think I'm gonna crash
Never paid the bill
because I ain't got the cash
Somebody save me
I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree,
Somebody save me
save me, look out
Save me
I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree,
Somebody save me
Save me
Somebody save me
I'm goin' down for the last time, look out
Save me
Save me

I used to be now I'm not what you see, Lord I try
And now it seems all those dreams have come true, but they're passing me by
Some fast talkin' mama for a dollar put a smile on my face
I'm drivin' all night
I end up in the same old place
My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on pushin' cause it feels alright
And who's to care if I grow my hair to the sky
I'll take a wish and a prayer cross my fingers cause I always get by
Some fast talkin' jerk for a dollar wiped the smile off my face
I'm drivin' all night
Just to keep the rat in the race
My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on pushin' cause it feels alright
Sometimes I feel so old
Got my lights burnin' bright
But I'm lookin' pretty sold
Sometimes I feel so cold
So cold
Let's go
Got to get on home
My gypsy road can't take me home
My gypsy road can't take me home, t-t-take me
My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on pushin' cause it feels alright
My gypsy road can't take me home
I drive all night just to see the light
My gypsy road can't take me home
I keep on p-p-pushin'
My gypsy road
My gypsy road
My gypsy road
My gypsy road
My gypsy road

I can't tell you baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heart aches come and go and
All that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time, think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really wanna go
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
I can't feel the things that cause you pain
I can't clear my heart of your love it falls like rain
Ain't the same
I hear you calling far away
Tearing through my soul
I just can't take another day
Who's to blame
If we take some time, think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really wanna go
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
Do you wanna see me beggin' baby
Can't you give me just one more day
Can't you see my heart's been draggin' lately
I've been looking for the words to say
Ooooh
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong, wrong, wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back takes so long
Don't know what you got til it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong, wrong, wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
. . .

Me and Billy boy and old lady Jane
We hitched a ride, took a fast movin' train
Got to the top with our heads spinnin' round
You never know just what you got until you're comin' back
Down on the farmland Mississippi shade
The folks down there they told me take it day by day
And walk the last mile
Before I sleep
It'll be a while
Before I get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears
I got a long way to go before I reach the light of day
Monkey's on my back I gotta find a better way
Same old story never get just what you want
The more you got the more you want
Sometimes you do and then you don't
I guess I've always been a travelin' man
Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand
And walk the last mile
Before I sleep
It'll be a while
Before I get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears
Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
Look around me everybody's trying to win
I guess I've always been a travelin' man
Cause when I'm movin' I can make a stand yea yea
And walk the last mile
Before I sleep
It'll be a while
Before I get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears
The last mile
Before I sleep
It'll be a while
Before I get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears
The last mile
Before I sleep
It'll be a while
Before I get my peace
With the same style
I walked for years
On the last mile
I can rest my fears
. . .

I took a walk down a road
It's the road I was meant to stay
I see the fire in your eyes
But a man's got to make his way
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I took a ride in a world
I'll be spinnin' for the rest of my life
I feel your heart beatin' baby
ooo sometimes it cuts like a knife
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Where your love tonight can shine on me
I'm coming home
Where your lovin' arms can set me free
I took a walk down a road
It's the road I was meant to stay
I see the fire in your eyes
But a mans got to make his way
So are you tough enough for my love
Just close your eyes to the heaven above
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Oh yea
I'm on my way
I'm coming home I'm coming home
Here we go ooo yea, ooo yea
I'm on my way
Come on baby, Come on
Let your love, shine on me
I'm on my way, Sing along
Shine on, Shine on, Shine on me
I'm on my way, Ahh yea
Shine on me
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Everybody needs a little place they can hide
Somewhere to call their own
Don't let nobody inside
Every now and then we all need to let go
For some it's a doctor, for me it's rock and roll
For some it's a bottle
For some it's a pill
Some people read the Bible cause it's givin' them a thrill
I was one to figure if they don't like what they see
If you live in a glass house don't be throwing rocks at me
(Chorus)
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ohhh and it'll be alright
Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
But when the doors are closed there ain't nothing he won't try
Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's treating his best friend's wife
Tipper led the war against the record industry
She said she saw the devil on her MTV
To look into the cabinet it takes more than a key
Just like Jimmy's skeleton's and his ministry
(Chorus)
For some it's a needle for some it's pill
Some people read the Bible cause it's giving them a thrill
You can spend your money before you get your pay
With a toss of the dice you can piss it all away
(Chorus)

Waiting at the station
Tears filling up my eyes
Sometimes the pain you hide
Burns like a fire inside
Look out my window
Sometimes it's hard to see
The things you want in life
Come and go so easily
CHORUS
She took the last train
Out of my heart
She took the last train
And now I think I'll make
A brand new start
She took the last train
Out of my heart
Watching the days go by
Thinking 'bout the plans we made
Days turn into years
Funny how they fade away
Sometimes I think of those days
Sometimes I just hide away
Waiting on that 9:20 train
Waiting on a memory
CHORUS
My lady's on the fly
And she's never coming back
My love is like a steam train
Rolling down the tracks yea, yeaa
CHORUS
. . .

Woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed
I got this feeling like a train's running through my head
Turned on my radio to the same old song
Some big mouth talking trying to tell us where the world went wrong
But all this talk of peace and love
It's only for the news
Cause everytime you trust someone
You end up getting screwed
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain
Came to this morning I was feeling mighty used
Picked up the telephone but all I got's a major attitude
Turned on the TV to the same old news
Everybody thinks they got the answer to the same old blues
Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain
Take me away
Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change
The more things change

Have mercy on a poor boy's heart
Cause I got the key that can make your motor start
Can't you love me
Without messin' me around
You took everything I got then kick me when I'm down
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Have mercy on a poor boy's soul
I've been down so long never thought I could feel so low
First you love me
Then you stab my back
Close the door, turn the key, all I can see is black
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
So what's a poor boy supposed to do
I've done everything I can, I've been so true
You got a mean streak
Like an alley cat
You sucked all the love from me like a vampire bat
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time

You got me jumpin right out of my skin
You keep it up and I¹ll be comin on in
You start a feelin you¹re the cream of the crop
You gonna break my heart or just make it stop
You told me that you¹d always love me true
But then I heard you told another guy too
Take a cold shower but he water boils hot
The way you twist and shake it girl
you tie me in a knot
and get me hot
Ooh hot & bothered
So hot & bothered
You get me
Hot & bothered
Come on now
Now listen
I pick you up at eight by ten we do the town
Empty my pockets just a tryin to get you down
Throw in the towel I think your games are such a bore
Just when I think I¹ve lost you pull me to the floor
And get me hot
Ooh hot & bothered
So hot & bothered
You get me hot & bothered
So hot & bothered
Ooo you get me hot
Hot & bothered
So hot & bothered
Baby Baby Baby get me hot
Ooh you get me hot
Hot & bothered
So hot & bothered

I know it's hard
In a world gone mad
To find the truth
To Understand
And I know it's hard
To turn the page
To walk the line
To have the faith
But sometimes when it's light
And you can't see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
I know it's hard
In a world so cold
To feel the love
I know it's hard
And I know it's true
That in the end
We all find our way
And that's life my friend
But sometimes when it's light
And you can't see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines
Through the pain
World keeps turning
Nothing changes
Hope this time
We can rearrange the stars
I can't be that hard no
Sometimes when it's light
And you can't see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines
Through the pain
Sometimes when it's light
And you can't see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines
Through the rain
Ooh let it shine
Shine through the rain
Ooo let it shine
Shine through the rain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
Don't you know it's gonna shine yea
Shining down on you
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain

Pull on up
To the soapbox stool
Let me tell ya some stories
About how life can be cruel
I had big dreams
But they turned to dust
I need another shot of oil
Cause it's starting to rust
And I'm tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to find my way
I've been bustin' my ass
To be somebody someday
Tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to get ahead
Shootin' at the moon
But it shot me down instead
War stories
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it throught the battle of life
And it's on and on until you're long gone
But the strong keep stickin' it out
Through those war stories
Everybody's got 'em when you hit the bottom and survive
I said have another drink
This one's on me
Let me tell ya 'bout pain from A to Z
I got scars from my head to my feet
Some like a junkyard car still rolling down the streets
And I'm tryin' to make a dollar
Tryin' to pay my way
I've been bustin' my balls
And then they take it all away
Tryin' to climb the ladder
Reaching for the sky
I ain't going down
Until they hang me out to dry
War stories
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it throught the battle of life
And it's on and on until you're long gone
But the strong keep stickin' it out
Through those war stories
Everybody's got 'em when you hit the bottom and survive
And it's on and on until you're long gone
But the strong keep stickin' it out
They got towing the line 'till the sun don't shine
But all I got left to talk about
Are those war stories
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it throught the battle of life
War stories
Through those war stories
Everybody's got 'em when you hit the bottom and survive

You say that it's over baby
You say that it's over now
And still you hang around
Now come on
Won't you move over
You know that I need a woman
You know that I need a woman
But when I ask you to
You just tell me
That maybe you can
Please don't ya do it to me babe
No
Please don't ya do it to me
Either take the love I offer
Honey let me be
I ain't quite ready for walking
No, no, no
Ain't quite ready for walking
And what will you do with your love
Love just dangle a little more
Oh
Make up your mind
You're playin' the fool
Make up your mind
You're playin' the fool
Now either be my lovin' heart
Or honey let me be
Let me be, let me be
Oww
Let me be
You say that it's over baby
You say that it's over now
And still you hang around
Now come on
Won't you move over
You know that I need a woman
You know that I need a woman
But when I ask you to
You just tell me
That maybe you can
Please don't ya do it to me babe
No
Please don't ya do it to me
Either take the love I offer
Honey, let me be
I said won't you, won't you let me be
Honey, you're teasin' me
Ya think you're playin' with my heart, dear
I believe you're toyin' with my affections, honey
I can't take no more
And furthermore, I don't intend to
You got my heart dangling from a string, babe
You expect me to fight like I'm a goddamn mule
