Living in Sin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't need no license
To sign on no line
And I don't need no preacher
To tell me you're mine
I don't need no diamonds
Don't need no new bride
I just need you, baby
To look me in the eye
Well, I know they have a hard time
Your daddy don't approve
But I don't need your daddy
Tellin' us what we should do
[Pre-Chorus]
Now there's a million questions
I could ask about our lives
But I only need one answer
To get me through the night
[Chorus]
And I say, baby, can you tell me just where we fit in?
I call it love, they call it livin' in sin
(Livin' in sin)
Is it you and me or just this world we live in?
We're livin' on love, they say we're livin' in sin
[Post-Chorus]
Oh woah, oh
[Verse 2]
Is it right for both our parents
Who fight it out most nights
Then pray for God's forgiveness
When they both turn out the lights
Or wear that ring of diamonds
When your heart is made of stone
You can talk but still say nothing
You stay together but alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Or is it right to hold you
And kiss your lips goodnight
But I promise it forever
If you sign it on the dotted line
[Chorus]
Oh, baby, can you tell me just where we fit in?
I call it love they call it livin' in sin
(Livin' in sin)
Oh, is it you and me or just this world we live in?
We're livin' on love, they say we're livin' in sin
[Post-Chorus]
Woah oh, woah
Come on
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Hey, baby, can you tell me just where we fit in?
I call it love, they call it livin' in sin
Oh, is it you and me or just this world we live in?
We're livin' on love, or are we livin' in sin?
I don't know just where
Sometimes it scares me
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I don't know where to begin
(Livin' in sin)
I don't know where we fit in
Livin' in sin, oh
(Livin' in sin)
Oh-oh, oh
(Livin' in sin)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I don't know where to begin
(Livin' in sin)
Woah oh oh woah
(Livin' in sin)
Blood on Blood Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey
[Verse 1]
Well, I can still remember
When I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever
And what you said was what you did
Well, it was me and Danny and Bobby
We cut each other's hands
Held tight to a promise
Only brothers understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we were so young (So young) (So young)
One for all and all for one (All for one)
Just as sure that the river's gonna run
[Chorus]
Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standin' when all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be there for you 'til Kingdom come
Blood on blood
[Verse 2]
Well, Bobby was our hero
'Cause he had this fake ID
When I got busted stealin' cigarettes
And Bobby took the rap for me
Well, Danny knew this white trash girl
We each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel
And turned us into men
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, we were so young (So young) (So young)
One for all and all for one (All for one)
Just as sure that the river's gonna run
[Chorus]
Blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standin' when all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be there for you 'til Kingdom come
Like blood on blood
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer
And Danny, he's a medicine man
Well me, I'm just the singer
In a long haired rock and roll band
Through the years and miles between us
It's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got that call in the dead of the night
I'd be right by your side
Blood on blood
Like blood on blood
Yeah
Just like blood (Blood on blood)
Blood on blood (Blood on blood)
Like blood (Just like blood)
New brothers, yeah
[Chorus]
Like blood on blood
One on one
We'd still be standin' when all was said and done
Blood on blood
One on one
And I'll be there for you 'til Kingdom come
Like blood on blood
[Outro]
Yeah
Blood on blood
Like blood on blood
Blood on blood
Blood on blood
Homebound Train Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoo whoo
[Verse 1]
When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home, home, home
Made me a man
You don't talk to me about sympathy now
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you can't dance if you take a chance on your rosary, now
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down
On that homebound train
[Verse 2]
Been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere, now I'm headin' home
Been a lot of girls
But there's a woman I know
[Pre-Chorus]
Said don't take no plane, baby, take a train 'cause I like it real slow
[Chorus]
All the way back home, oh
On that homebound train
I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
[Post-Chorus]
All aboard
[Harmonica and Keyboard Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'm headin' home (Here I come)
To be with my baby ([?])
Where I belong (Come one, give me some)
Comin' around the track now (Around the track now) (Whoo whoo)
See, I done my time (Done my time) (Whoo whoo)
I'm goin' back now (Goin' back) (Whoo whoo)
To that heart of mine (Give me mine) (Whoo whoo)
Hey, here I come, baby (Whoo whoo)
Here I come, baby (Comin', baby) (Whoo whoo)
Here I come, b-baby, baby, baby, oh (Whoo whoo)
[Chorus]
All the way back home
On that homebound train
I'm goin' down, down, down, down, down
Yes I am
On that homebound train
[Outro]
Here I come, baby
Whoo whoo
Whoo whoo
Ride Cowboy Ride Lyrics
[Verse]
Ride cowboy ride
Through the back door to heaven
To the other side
I wanna know the danger of a kiss at midnight
Ride, cowboy, ride (Yeah)
Yeah, I learn my lesson
Here's a story to tell
So I make my confession
In this sleazy motel
I could be the romantic
I could try my best line
But ain't got the money
And we ain't got the time
Ride, cowboy, ride
Through the back door to heaven
To the other side
I want to know the danger of a kiss at midnight
Ride, cowboy, ride, woah-oh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
So you want to be a cowboy (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ride, ride, ride) I wanna be a gun
I wanna be a big shot (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
Baby, come on (Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
Ride, ride, ride
Stick to Your Guns Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So you wanna be a cowboy
Well, you know it's more than just a ride
Guess you gotta know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun
In the world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You better make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one, woah-oh
[Chorus]
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can pull the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
[Verse 2]
So you wanna be the big time
Some people gonna drag you down
There's no living in the backseat (Backseat)
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You gotta give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
You fight hard until the battle is won, woah-oh
[Chorus]
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
You fight hard and the battle is yours, woah-oh
[Chorus]
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger
But only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war
But only if you have to
It's only if you have to
[Outro]
But stick to your guns, woah-oh-oh-oh
Stick to your guns, woah-oh-oh-oh
So you wanna be a cowboy
Well, you know it's more than just a ride
I guess you gotta know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
99 in the Shade Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel I'm burning up with fever
But the fire's feeling really good tonight
And it's alright
I'm going to see Sahara Jack and Suntan Sally
Somebody tells me even Tommy's coming down tonight
If Gina says it's alright
I'm going to see those Senoritas
Lying under the sun
They're greasing it up
With the stereos on
You know I want to be their blanket
Going to tell every girl
Hey, baby... You're the one
[Chorus]
Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket because you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
Oh yeah!
[Verse 2]
When the sun goes down that's when the street heats up
Senorita Margarita fills your empty cup tonight
She make you feel alright
A good time here don't cost much money
Just a little sweet talking and a pretty native honey
And you're set for life
Or one hell of a night
I'm going see those sons of beaches
Out there living it up the surf
And the sand
Man that life ain't so tough
So get me in the action so I can tell
Every girl she's the one
[Chorus]
Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
99, 99, 99, 99 in the shade
99, 99, 99, 99 in the shade
[Chorus]
Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
Love for Sale Lyrics
[Intro]
Hit me
(Yeah)
Alright
[Verse 1]
When I got up this mornin', I rolled out of bed (Yeah)
I felt like this dog who's been kicked in the head (Ouch)
Checked out my mail, there was this letter that read
[Refrain]
It said, "Love for sale, love for sale"
[Verse 2]
I picked up the phone, at everyone I could
I let my fingers do the walkin' through the telephone book
You can't catch a fish if you ain't got the hook (Hook, yeah)
[Refrain]
I say no, love for sale, love for sale
[Verse 3]
Well, send up a signal and throw me a line
Somebody explain this funny Valentine
It might not be legal but it sure ain't a crime
Bein' one step from crazy, bein' two steps behind
I called Lieutenant Columbo from my TV set
I tried the Dating Game, I haven't found her yet
I'm hopin' that she lookin' like a Penthouse Pet
[Refrain]
(Say, hey) Love for sale, yeah, love for sale
[Guitar Solo]
(One more time)
[Verse 4]
Well we been living together, yeah, through years
Two hours, twenty minutes, maybe four hundred beers
She says, "You can't shop for love when you're shoppin' at Sears"
[Refrain]
Love for sale, hey, love for sale
[Verse 5]
I guess I learned my lesson, it was easy to see
Well, my old lady, she played this joke on me
I never looked where I forgot it to be
[Refrain]
There for sale, l-l-love for sale
[Bridge]
Love for sale
Hey, love for sale (Got some love for sale, man)
Uh-uh, love for sale
My old lady locked it up (Your old lady really did that to you?)
Love for sale, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
(I'll start playin' the blues for you, man)
I got the blues
You should see her mama, ha
Wanna talk about the blues
[Refrain]
(Love for sale, hey) And her big brothers
(Love for sale, hey) They locked my ass up one night
(Love for sale, hey)
(I got love for sale) He brought a shotgun with him
[Interlude]
Hahahaha, is that what that was?
(That was a shotgun wedding right here) Uh-huh
Somebody get me a drink, ha
[Harmonica Solo]
(Oh, get that, now)
[Outro]
Aw-aw, Rich
(Uh-oh)
I gotta go
(How come, man)
I gotta go home, hahahaha
(You gotta go home to that woman?)
I dunno why, I gotta go home, man
That's, just let, just let's, let's just say that the record's done, okay?
(Ooh-whoo)
(Love for sale)
