Back in the Saddle    (Perry/Tyler, 4:38)

(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
No tongue's dryer 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



Walk This Way    (Perry/Tyler, 4:22)

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Gonna talk to you my daddy say
Said you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin your ways
I met a cheerlead, was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminise
Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, a-like this

Seesaw swinger with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' Hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a-me she was foolin' cause she knew what she was oin'
Then I know'd 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
Uh, just gimme a kiss
Like this!

School girl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up her knee
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 somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss, a-like this

Seesaw swinger with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' Hey diddle diddle with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a-me she was foolin' cause she knew what she was doin'
When she taught 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
Uh, just gimme a kiss
Like this!



Movin' Out    (Perry/Tyler, 5:44)

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
Maybe I can go too
No one knows the way but maybe me

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

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 knows 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 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...



Draw the Line    (Perry/Tyler, 4:47)

Checkmate honey,
Beat ya at your own damn game
No dice honey,
I'm livin' on the astral plane
Feet's on the ground
And your head's goin' down the drain
Oh, heads I win, tails you lose
To the never mind
Where to draw the line

An Indian Summer
Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet net winner
And rarely ever left the store
She'd sing and dance all night
And wrong all the right out of me
Oh, pass me the vile and cross your fingers,
It don't take time
Nowhere to draw the line

Hi ho silver,
We were singin' all your cowboy songs
Oh, you told Carrie
And promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads I win, tails you lose,
Lord, it's such a crime

No dice honey, you're the salt
You're the Queen of the Brine
Checkmate honey,
You're the only one who's got to choose
Where to draw the line
Checkmate, don't be late
Take another pull
That's right
Impossible
When you got to be yourself
You're the boss, the toss
The price, the dice
Grab yourself a slice
Nowhere to draw the line



Same Old Song and Dance    (Perry/Tyler, 5:45)

Get yourself a cooler
Lay yourself low
Coincidental minor
With nothing to show
Well the judge's constipation
Will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation
He'll soon end up dead

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine
They found with your gun
No smoothy faced lawyer
Will get ya undone
Say love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend

Fate comes a-knockin'
Doors start lockin'
Your old time connection
Change your direction
Ain't gonna change it
Can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain
When it's all the same to you, my friend

When you're low down and dirty
From walkin' the street
With your old hurdy gurdy
No one to meet
Said love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend



Last Child    (Tyler/Whitford, 3:43)

I'm dreaming tonight, I'm living back home
Right!
Yeah... yeah

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 silk purse
From a J. Paul Getty and his ear
With her face in her 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 ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
It ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the street

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home

I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
[Repeat]



Let the Music Do the Talking    (Perry, 5:44)

Rock-a-bye baby
If you wanna dance
Grab yourself a body
And take a chance
Said one time around
Is all you get
I'm still dancin'
So you lost your bet

I got a hardcore mama
With a hot hoochie coo
Make my wheels start spinnin'
Like a formula two

Got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that I...

Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking... cause I can't wait
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking

Cheese cake
Maybe if I take another bite
I'm a real fat city
I'm an aero delight
Threw out my pipe
And my alkaline
Got a squeaky clean body
And a dirty mind
I'm a real fine dancer
I'll be cuttin' the rug
Got a brand new baby
She's my brand new drug

I got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that I...

Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking... cause I can't wait
Let the music do the talking... I gotta get it
Let the music do the talking...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah...
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah... yeah

Yak yak yak
Yak yak yak yak yak yak yaou

Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking



Toys in the Attic    (Perry/Tyler, 4:04)

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

(Repeat chorus)
