Track Lyrics
Back in the Saddle Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
[Verse 1]
Riding into town alone
By the light of the moon
I'm looking for old Sukie Jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep give me a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That'd make a grown man cry
[Chorus]
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
[Verse 2]
Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peeling off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fool's gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
No tongue's drier than mine
I'll come when I get back
[Chorus]
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
[Bridge]
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]
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
[Outro]
Riding high
Riding high
Riding high already
Last Child Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm dreaming tonight, I'm living back home
Right
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
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
Got to get back to the real nitty-gritty
[Verse 2]
Yes, sir, no, sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poontang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a silk purse
From a J. Paul Getty and his ear
With her face in her beer
[Chorus]
Home sweet home
[Verse 3]
Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's a-cooking
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
[Verse 4]
Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
It ain't no good when bossman's
Stuffing it down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rocking the street
[Chorus]
Home sweet home
Mama, take me home sweet home
[Outro]
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
Rats in the Cellar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm going under, rats are in the cellar
Going under, skin's turning yellow
Nose is runny, losing my connection
Losing money, getting no affection
[Chorus]
New York City blues
East side, west side news
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you
Can believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart
[Verse 2]
I'm safe complaining, because everything's rotten
Goin' insanin', and everything's forgotten
Feeling cozy, rats are in the cellar
Cheeks are rosy, skin's turning yellow
Loose and soggy, looking rather lazy
See my body, pushing up a-daisies
[Chorus]
New York City's dues
East side, west side news
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you
Can believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
New York City blues
East side, west side news
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you
Can believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart
[Outro]
Combination Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The street is cold, the dawn is gray
My heart says no but my head says stay
My work is finished, or so I've been told
You can't part the three of us, once we got a hold
I forgot my 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 choices, just one shade of gray
My legs keep moving, don't seem to stray
But I know each step we take, they're one step away
[Chorus]
I found the secret, the key to the vault
We walked in darkness, kept hitting the walls
I took the time, to feel for the door
I found the secret, the key to it all
[Verse 2]
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, wearing Yves Saint Laurent
Barely stay on, cause I'm so God damn gaunt
[Chorus]
I found the secret, the key to the vault
We walked in darkness, kept hitting the walls
I took the time, to feel for the door
I found the secret, the key to it all
Sick as a Dog Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Please, I just got to talk to you
Please, a get you your head out of the loo
Please, we're a long, long way from home
Please, you'd turn a young man's face to stone
[Chorus]
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, a cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, you really ain't that young
[Verse 2]
Please, you were much to my surprise
Please, you're the lady in disguise
Please, you're the only a friend I got
Please, you'll be the last to see me rot
[Chorus]
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, because you really ain't that young
[Verse 3]
Please, it's a shame you're so refined
Please, you was the last thing on my mind
Please, don't be late to take it light
Please, you're gonna fade into the night
[Chorus]
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, cat got your tongue
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, cause you really ain't so young
[Outro]
Take it light
Take it light
Take it light
Say goodnight
Take it light
Nobody’s Fault Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now they say it's nobody's fault
[Verse 2]
Old St. Andres
Seven years ago
Shove it up their richters
Red lines stop and go
Noblemen 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 the stilt
Three million years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt
[Bridge]
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame
[Chorus 2]
Sorry, we're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 2]
Sorry, we're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late
[Guitar Solo]
Get the Lead Out Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you like good boogie?
Like a real boogie woogie
Hear the juke box singing
A-get the dance hall swinging
A-won't you grab my shaker
I got to meet your maker
Oh, get out the lead, get out of bed, get the lead out
[Chorus 1]
(Get ready), I'll show you my fist
(Get ready), take hold of my wrist
(Get ready), we really can't miss
(Get ready)
[Verse 2]
Um, hey good looking
A-what you got there cooking?
You a young spring chicken
A-make your feet start kicking
[Bridge]
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
[Chorus 1]
(Get ready), I'll show you my fist
(Get ready), take hold of my wrist
(Get ready), we really can't miss
(Get ready)
[Verse 2]
Um, hey good looking
A-what you got there cooking?
You a young spring chicken
A-make your feet start kicking
Boot it out, dance without me
[Outro]
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
No-no, no-no
Lick and a Promise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Johnny come lately on a Saturday night
Singing how to go
Backstreet boogie in the house of delight
Where they steal the show
The money come sour but the ladies are sweet
It's a love affair
Whole place rocking, people stomping their feet
A when the gang's all there
[Chorus 1]
He gets his woman every night for free
He's out there rocking like you wouldn't believe
I sing na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 2]
Johnny like to gamble with his lady Louise
She was a blackjack deuces are wild
He got to thinking 'bout his nose in the breeze
Put it there, Johnny looked and he smiled
He started thinking about the fortune and fame
With the young girls down at his knees
He dug the money but forgot all the names
So he knew just how to appease
[Chorus 2]
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
He gave the ladies a
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
He gave the ladies a
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
He gave the ladies a
Lick and a promise
[Verse 3]
Loose change grubber in his early, early years
Had his poor mama pacing the floors
He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers
Now the crowd keeps screaming for more
[Chorus 1]
He gets his woman every night for free
He's out there rocking like you wouldn't believe
I sing na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Home Tonight Lyrics
[Verse]
Now, it's time to say goodnight to you
Now, it's time to bid you sweet adieu
[Bridge]
And maybe, drink a cheers to yesterday
And maybe, you'll drink those tears away
[Chorus]
So baby, don't let go
Hold on real tight
'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tonight
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
So baby, don't let go
Hold on real tight
'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tonight
Tonight
