| Dream On (Tyler, 4:27) Every time that I look in the mirror All these lines on my face gettin' clearer The past is gone It went by like dusk to dawn Isn't that the way Everybody's got their dues in life to pay I know nobody knows Where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody's sin You got to lose to know how to win Half my life's in books written pages Lived and learned from fools and from sages You know it's true All these things come back to you (all these things you do, pretty mama, come back to you) Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter 'n' sing for the tears Sing with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away Dream on, dream on, dream on Dream yourself a dream come true Dream on, dream on, dream on Dream until your dream comes true Dream on, dream on, dream on Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on Sing with me, sing for the years Sing for the laughter 'n' sing for the tears Sing with me, if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away Same Old Song and Dance (Perry/Tyler, 3:53) 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 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 Sweet Emotion (Hamilton/Tyler, 4:34) Sweet emotion Sweet emotion You talk about things and nobody cares You're wearing other things that nobody wears You're calling my name but you gotta make clear I can't say baby where I'll be in a year Some sweet talkin' mama with a face like a gent Said my get up and go musta got up and went Well I got good news, she's a real good liar Cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire Sweet emotion Sweet emotion I pulled into town in a police car You're daddy said I took it just a little too far You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died Yes it is You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass I talk about something you can sure understand Cause a month on the road an' I'll be eating from your hand Walk This Way (Perry/Tyler, 3:40) Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers Gonna talk to you my daddy say He 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 cheerleader, was a real young bleeder All the times I could reminisce 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 doin' 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 sweet 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 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 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 Uh, just gimme a kiss Like this! Last Child (Tyler/Whitford, 3:27) I'm dreaming tonight, I'm living 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 silk purse From a J. Paul Getty and hi sear 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 the 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] Back in the Saddle (Perry/Tyler, 4:39) (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 lookin' for ol' Sukie Jones She crazy horse saloon Barkeep gime 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 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, the snake is gonna rattle Chorus Ridin' high Ridin' high Ridin' high already Draw the Line (Perry/Tyler, 3:21) Checkmate honey, beat you at your own damn game No dice honey, I'm livin' on an astral plane Feet's on the ground, and your head's going down the drain Oh, heads I win, tails you lose, to the never mind When 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 outta 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 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 of the toss The dice, the price Grab yourself a slice Know where to draw the line Kings and Queens (Douglas/H/K/T/W, 3:47) Long ago in days I'm told Were ruled by Lords of greed Maidens fared with gold They dared to bare their wombs that bleed Kings and queens and guillotines Taking lives denied Starch and parchment laid the laws When bishops took the ride Only to deceive Oh I know I lived this life afore Somehow know now truths I must be sure Tossin' turnin' nightmares burnin' dreams of swords in hand Sailin' ships the Viking spits the blood of father's land Only to deceive Living times of knights and mares Raising swords for maidens fair Sneer at death fear only loss of pride Lving other centuries Deja vu 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 and then then they died Lordy no then they died Live and do or die Long ago were days I told...

Oh, no Oh, no Oh, 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, then she touched my cheek Remember, with her fingertips Remember, softly Softly we met with a kiss Whatever happened to That girl that I once knew That girl that said, she'd be true Whatever happened to That night I gave it to you What would you do with it now Return to Top |
