Box Of Fire

Long ago in days untoled
Were ruled by lords of greed
Maidens fair, with gold they dared
To bare their wombs that bleed
Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchments laid the laws
When bishops took the ride

Only to decieve

Oh i know i
Lived this life before
Somehow i know now
Truths i must be sure
Tossin' turnin', nightmares brunin'
Dreams of swords in hand
Sailing ships, the viking spits
The blood of father's land

Only to decieve

Living times of knights and mares
Raising swords for maidens fair
Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
Living other centuries
Deja v?or what you please
Follows true to all who do or die
Screams of no reply
They died
Screams of no reply
And died
Lordy, lordy, they died

I need a lady, not somebody shady
Need someone to be close to
Somebody cozy, not somebody nosey
Help me see my whole day through

Someone to share the load
Somebody to walk the road i live on, live

Good lord send me, good lord mend me
Send me down someone for me
Said i won't be choosy
You could send me a floosy
Send me anybody you please
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody, some, somebody for me
Now won't you send me somebody
Yeah, somebody

Won't you send me somebody
Now won't you send me somebody
Well, call for somebody
Scream loud and bloody
Call woman, woman, come on to me
Save for tomorrow
Share all your sorrow
Misery enjoys company
Yes it does, yes it does

Take me on your rockin' horse
Hit the lights and shut your doors
Grab your ankles, everyone
Ain't my way of havin' fun

(chorus)
Can't give it up
Gotta give it up, give it up
C'mon nancy
Can't give it up
Gotta get it up, get it up
For your fancy

Don't speculate
I'm just a slave your masters bait
I love fuck into the night
Just waitin' for the bright light fright

Can't get it up,
Gotta get it up, get it up
C'mon nancy
Can't get it up
Gotta get it up, get it up
Really have a good time
Really have a good time

Suckin' up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
Really have a good time
Love me 'til the sun

(chorus)

Get it up and down and all around
Take a ride and paint the town
Slow me down and make it fast
Scream almost and make it last
You know you gotta
Really have a good time
You know you're really gonna
Really have a good time
Suckin' up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
You know you really gonna
Really have a good time
You know you really wanna love me
'til the sun can't get it up

Spaced in time, child of mine
Doin' twenty years on the way
Fire and steel, earth unreal
Find another planet to stay
Papa died, ma survived
Tellin' me about her ordeal

And the soul she could not feel
'cause they made her so unreal

Lightnin' years disappearsne
Twenty million years on my brain
Synthesize, overrides
Tryin' to keep from goin' insane

And my soul i can not feel
'cause they made me so unreal

Spaced enough to know i feel there's nothing out there
Spaced enough to know i feel i really don't care
Spaced enough to feel i'm really losin' my mind

And i'm never ever goin' back
I lost the track
No one even knows i'm alive
Spaced without a trace
Waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive

When will the clouds all blow it away
When will the good people have their say
Now i hope you're still around to see the day

Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it

Who's gonna tell what is up or down
Who can be the king or be the clown
Then climb your tree, take a look around

Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it

Take it nobody out, if it in the tame
That which is now, will be again
Who can decide who is insane

Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover
Still i talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen noting
'till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times i can remaniesse
'cause the best thing lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
And i know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss - like this!

School girl sadie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When i noticed they was lookin' at me

I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something i missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So i gave her just a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Just give me a kiss - like this!

I met a babe in a backseat drive-in
Back in the saddle she'd sit
Pulled on the reins just to keep me risin'
She loved to chomp at the bit

Daddy do it, oh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, drivin' me crazy

She walks away with her eyes
Down on her bootlace
She lives to give it away
She don't believe in the right or the wrong case
She's always liable to say

Daddy do it, oh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, drivin' me crazy

(cheese cake), looser than her sister
(cheese cake), her sugar gets me high
She knows i can't resist her (cheese cake)
Got my fingers in her pie (cheese cake)
(cheese cake), sneakin' out the back door
(cheese cake), rollin' down the lawn
Everybody kissed her (cheese cake)
At the crack of dawn (cheese cake)

Daddy do it, oh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Daddy do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, do it, drivin' me crazy

(cheese cake), looser than her sister
(cheese cake), her sugar gets me high
She knows i can't resist her (cheese cake)
Got my fingers in her pie (cheese cake)

Repeat (cheese cake)

Honey now..na, na, na, na, na....

Hush a bye my baby soft and new
Oh, loveliness, gypsy dance in the rain
Hush a bye my baby what you do
Oh, the baby cry
The wind is a-callin your name
Oh, oh...

Where you came from you ain't alone
Live and loved from the old jaw bone
Ah, don't you cry you're home sweet home

Rock a bye sweet lady gypsy blue
Oh, the nightingale's singin' her song in the rain
Hush a bye sweet lady, soft and new
Oh, don't you cry, the wind she's a-screamin' your name
Oh, oh...

Come too soon that sunny day
You give your heart away
No divorce, io repouise

Oh, oh...

Mary mac, dressed in black
Silver buttons up and down her crack
I know, 'cause i love her so
She-a broke a needle
Now she can't sew

Walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog

Ask yo' mama for a-fifteen cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high, touched the sky
Didn't come back till the fourth of july

Walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog

Mary mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow
Well, well, silver bells
And little bitty bitty white shells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walkin' your dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog

It ain't easy
Livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how i feel
I've been dreamin'
Floatin' down the stream n'
Losin' touch with all that's real

Whole earth lover
Keepin' under cover
Never know where ya been
You've been fadin'
Always out paradin'
Keep in touch with mama kin

Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpertual drag
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on a wagon

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way i see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way i see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dream
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

The street is cold, the dawn is grey
My heart says no but my head says stay
My work is finished, or so i've been told
Can't part the three of us, once we got a hold

I forgot the name
I took a shot on the chin
I'm rearranging my game
Tell by the shape i'm in

In the line of fire, you know what to say
They gave us no choises, just one shade of grey
My legs keep moving, i don't seem to stray
But i know each step we take, they're one step away

I found the secret, the key to the vault
We walked in darkness, kept hittin' the walls
I took the time, to feel for the door
I found the secret, the key to it all

I got the nouveauree
And dragged it home to bed
I traded you for me
I took it all and said

I find my own fun, sometimes for free
I got to pay it to come looking for me
Walking on gucci, wearin' yves saint laurent
Barley stay on, 'cause i'm so damn gaunt

(i'm dreaming tonight, i'm leaving back home)
Right!

Take me back to a south tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poon tang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a skilk purse
From a j paul getty and his ear
With her face in the beer

Home sweet home

Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plow
And my feets in the getto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
Ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
With paper notes
As babies cry
When you're rockin' in the street

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home

I was the last child
Just a punk in the streets

(repeat)

Major
Major barbara sits in the fields
And waits for her crops to grow
She sits in a chair
She made out of wood
So many, many years ago

Major, why don't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

She waits all day
And hopes through the night
For a new day that might show
A bright yellow sun
That'll make the crops come
And let the old days go

Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

Major
Look out in your fields
Tell me what do you see shinin' through

Major
Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you

Yes they do
Yes they do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

Stagecoach lady, hourglass body
Makin' thinks glow in the night
Well, she would if she could
And she'd be good if she would
Only tell her lover she be out tonight

'cause i'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And i'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

Salt lake city, salt-lickin' bitties
Bogies turn, stinkin' of gin
Well my daddy was hard
His face was pretty scarred
From kickin' ass to playin' poker to win

'cause i'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And i'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad

It's too bad
Can't get me none of that

New sold lady
My mama cady
Chivalry was born at her feet
Wel she should have thought twice
When pa showed his dice
Imagine put my daddy to sleep

'cause i'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And i'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
I said it's too bad
Lord, it's too bad

(repeat)

For all night dwight

Got a '56 cadillac
With a spare tire on the back
Got a chargt account in my old bank
Said, i ain't got you

Got a classic and a pool
And a big hair ghoul
No matter who i fool
Said, i ain't got you

(chorus)
Got a baby and a liquor store
I played the number of forty-four
Got a mojo and don't you know
I'm all dressed up with no place to go
Got women to the left of me
Women to the right of me
I got chicks all around me
Said, i ain't got you

(chorus)

Mr. whitford!

You know i ain't got you, baby

Kickin' down the road
Feelin' mighty slowed
With the likes of you

Gettin' mighty spaced
Never had a taste
Of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
Then to ragtime screamin' the blues

(chorus)
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Try to make a fool outta me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta me

Swing low
Sweet cherry-o
When a strange love showed me the way

You see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's comin' on for the play

(chorus)

E. poe
Eatin' crow
Wonder if he knowed that
Raven was mad

Time passed
And words lost the last
Of the thing he ever had

(chorus)

Oh, play rough
Can't get enough
So the try to make a fool out of me

Lordy
Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me
Ain't foolin' me
You ain't foolin' me

When i'm in heat
Someone gets a notion
I jump to my feet
I hoof it to the ocean
We hit a beach
Where no one gives a hoot
Nobody never ever wears a suit
The ladies there
They look so proud
That's 'cause they know
That they've been so well endowed

Now, i ain't much
For fannie's conversation
Or care to much
About her operation
But every time pandora comes my way
I get high
Can't explain the sensation
To get it on
I gotta watch what i say
Or i'll catch hell
From the women's liberation

(chorus)

Sweet pandora
Good-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet pandora
Good-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet pandora
Mama crack a smile for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me

Now i ain't what
You'd call a city slicker
Or claim to fame
To be a slitty licker

But every time pandora comes my way
I get high
Can't explain the sensation
To get it on
I gotta watch what i say
Or i'll catch hell
From the women's liberation

(chorus)

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a-comin'
All we do is just a-grin
Said we gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in

Tell me who you know
And i'll tell you who, too
Go see my friend and he'll set you free
Tell me what you see and
Mabye i can go too
No one knows the way but mabye me

Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me, yeah

Good mornin' glory, hallelujah to you
What is the story, what's been goin' through ya
Livin' like a king of the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

Movin', we're gettin' out
Movin', without a doubt
Movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are

Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me
Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me, ah
Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy...

Level with god
And you're in tune with the universe
Talk with yourself
And you'll hear what you wanna know
Gotta rise above
'cause below it's only gettin' worse
Life in time
Will take you where you wanna go

Where you wanna go, where you wanna go
Where you goin'....

Good mornin' glory, hallelujah to you
What is the story, what's been goin' through ya
Livin' like a king of the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

Movin', we're gettin' out
Movin', yeah, without a doubt
Movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are

Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me
Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can't find me
Round n' round...

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a-comin'
All we do is just a-grin
We gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in

Yes we do....

Down to who knows who just to socialize
I'm waitin' for my girls, when you caught my eyes
You got your ways to make a man
Honey, you got to understand
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

Well, well, lordie my god
What do we got here
She's flashin' 'cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear
You're the bait and you're the hook
Someone bound to take a look
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of the thighs

Uncle salty told me
Stories of the lonely
Baby, we can only come alive to me

Her man he was lusted
Daddy he was busted
They left her to be trusted
To the orphanage

But when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Uncle salty told me
When she was just a baby
That she could buy a mabye
Someday she'd see

Soon she found that money
Is love for all the others
The pushers and the shovers
Was the life to me

But when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh yeah

Now she's doin' many
For money and the penny
Sell her for a penny or two or three

Hers is the cunnin'
For men that come a runnin'
They all come for fun and it seems to me

That when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window

1971, we all heard the starter gun
New york is such a pity
But at max's kansas city we won

We all shot shit in the bar
With johnny o' toole and his scar
And then old clive davis said
He's surely gonna make us a star
I'm gonna make you a star
Just the way you are

But with all his style
I could see in his eyes
That we is goin' on trial
And it was no surprise

The boys kept kickin' ass
As usual time would tell
But some bitch in the choir
Threw water on the fires of hell
She loved to shove and tell
Lord, she loved to tell

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
And it was no surprise
No surprise
No surprise
No surprise

Midnight lady
Situation fetal
Vaccinate yo ass with yo phonograph needle

I say look it here
A friend of mine
Scratch like you need calomine
Flamingo boots, soles a creakin'
Still in love and puerto rican too

Ridin' on the wheels of hell
Smokin' in our axle grease
The backstage is rockin'
And we're copping from the local polica
That's right, the local police
Or the juctice of peace

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
Baby, it's no surprise
No surprise
No surprise
No surprise

Rock n' roll, junkie whore
Got my foot inside the door
Knock knock, knock knock, knock
Nobody's keepin' score

Bad time go away
Come again some other day
Topaz and sazzafraz
Will keep the blues away

Candy store, rock n' roll
Corporation jelly roll
Play the singles, it ain't me
It's programmed with insanity

You ascap, if bmi
Could ever make a mountain fly
If japanese can boil teas
The where the fuck's my royalties

I wanna jump but i'm afraid i'll fall
I wanna holler but the jones' too small
Young man really got the hold to it too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the girl's too tall
Young man really got a hold on it too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna scream, i want you all to know
I would be runnin' but my feets are too slow
Young man really got a hold on it too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Baby callin' me now hurry home
I know she's leavin' 'cause i'm takin' too long
Young man really got a hold on it too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and joe perry too, oh

Want some lovin', baby' that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the girl's too tall
Young man really got a hold on it too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna scream, i wanna scream
Young man really got a hold on it too
I got the rockin' pneumonia, what's the matter with you?

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

(chorus)
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Up on stage now with us.

Honey, you gotta have a mother for me

Goin' downtown, goin' down, goin' down
'neath the city, eatin' ground round
Underground is pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the light
That's when i knew she was a

Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes

Playin' no fair, sleepin' under stairs
Downtown's a pity, takin' fair square
Under where it's pretty gritty
I turned the screw, she held the knife

Oh, holy jesus, she's a sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
She's a nitty grutty

Turnin' in style, walk a mile for your titty
Naked foul while under there
Under where it's pretty gritty
Hey, don't you know people
She's a love lust hussy
She left, oh she rust me
Dear old girl
She was a sight for sore eyes
But she was sittin' pretty
A sight for sore eyes
She was a nitty gritty
Sight for sore eyes

Peeled back and parted
Even at the start it was delight or demise
I feel like a leopard king
Sight for sore eyes
She was a sight for sore eyes

Lord i must be dreaming
What else could this be
Everybody's screaming
Running' for the sea

Holy lands are sinking
Birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinking drunk
I know the reason why

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up to the knees
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now they say it's nobody's fault

Old st. andres
Seven years ago
Shove it up their richters
Red light stop and go
Noble men of courage
Listen with their ears
Spoke but how discouraging
When no one really hears

One of these day's you'll be sorry
Too many houses on stilt
Three milion years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt

(chorus)
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame
Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry

Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up in debris

California showtime
Five o'clock's the news
Everybody's concubine
Was prone to take a snooze

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Goin' under, rats in the cellar
Goin' under, skin's turnin' yellow
Nose is runny, losin' my connection
Losin' money, getting no affection

New york city blues
East side, west side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart

Safe complaining, 'casue everything's rotten
Go insanin', and ain't a thing forgotten
Feelin' cozy, rats in the cellar
Cheeks are rosy, skin's turning yellow
Lose it's party, lookin' rather lazy
See my body, pushin up a-daisies

New york city blues
East side, west side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart

It's the dawn of the day
And i'm crashed and i'm smashed
And it is i'm feelin'
Like my chips are cashed
All of my clothes
Strewn all over the room
The crisis at hand is
I'm all out of zoom

(chorus)
I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on tv
Is the good morning news

The tricks of the night
Keepin' me in a daze
Open a bottle
And i'll pull down the shades
Glance in the mirror
Back into bed
Forget that it's day
Time to party again

(chrous)

Bright light fright
Bright light fright
Bright light fright
Give me the night

(repeat)

(repeat chorus)

(chorus)
Can you be in love
When you live alone
Push comes to shove
When you're bitchin' on

Now look at every
I'm tonne on you without a doubt
Said the music does the talkin'
But all we heard is talk about

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys, yeah

Rose said she was fine for two
With blonde hair, by crack it
Miles of blue
Sooge, she was on my side
'cause she and nancy
Ah they took me for a ride

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And they do, yeah the toys

Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it
Talkabubi
Talk about it
Talk about it...
Dedumdudidudi

(chorus)

She looked, well, about 35 to me
When mine was still comin' on to you
But i was covered back, back then
'cause me and the boys
Knew hot courior

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
And the toys in the attic

Her sister, she was lank a fin
Never tought i'd given in
Her candle of youth was burnin' low
But me and the boys
Knew something had to go

The girls are left behind
When forty women all spend time
With me and the boys
Dededudidudu...

Talk about it
Walk about it
Talk about it
Talkabubi
Talk about it
Talk about it...
Dedumdudidudi

(chorus x2)

Huh!

(repeat chorus)

Seems like the other day
My baby went away
She went away, 'cross the sea

It's been two years or so
Since i saw my baby go
And then this letter came from me

It said that we was through
She found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think
What should i do

(chorus)
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no no no no no
(remember), walking in the sand
(remember), walking hand in hand
(remember), the night was so exciting
(remember), her smile was so inviting
(remember), the she touched me cheek
(remember), with her fingertips
(remember), softly
Softly we met with a kiss

Whatever happened to
The gal that i once knew
The girl that said, she'd been true
Oh, whatever happened to
The night i gave it to you
What did i do with the night
Oh...

(chorus)

Whatever happened to
That girl that i once knew
That girl that said, she was true
Whatever happened to
That night i gave it to you
What would you do with the night

(chorus)
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone
By the light of the moon
I'm looking for ol sukie jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

(chorus)

Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fools' gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
Not tounge's drier than mine
I'll come when i get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm riding, i'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding, i really got a fistful
I'm riding, i'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle

(chorus)

Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high already

If you believe in me
Like i believe in you
You wouldn't be tellin' me things
That weren't exactly true

Now everything changes
Ain't got nothing to say
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'cause the life i've been livin'
And the love i've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' round

When it was one for all
And it was all for one
And everything that we did
Never bothered anyone

Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'cause the life i've been livin'
And the love i've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' round

Can you remember the days
When you were sweet sixteen
And always followed the ways
Of someone elses dream

(look here)
Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

Goin' round n' round n' round n' round....

Well on a train, i met a dame
She rather handsome
We kinda look the same
She was pretty
From new york city
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her so

(chorus)

I said, train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
With a heave, and a ho
But i just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well on a train, i met a dame
She rather handsome
We kinda looked the same

From new york city
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her so

(chorus)

Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her

Well, we made a stop in albequerque
She musta thought
I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good, i couldn't let her go
But i just couldn't tell her so

(chorus)

I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her

Well, she's the woman of the world
And god she know it
She'll turn my head
Every time she shows it
Yeah, nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
No way you can try to change her way
She might be gone tomorrow
Honey, say what you gotta say

Lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy what a woman

Well i tried, i tried so hard to please her
She'd give me a look if i beg to tease her
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
No way you can try to choochie coo
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, lordy what you gonna do

And i tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight

And i tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight

She got big-eyed cats
She got coats of sable
She seats forty-four at her dinner table
And there's nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
No way you can try to change her way
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, throwin' it all away
