Why be lonely Why be blue You got me babe, I got you And I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you How I dig rockin' around with you I was waiting You came through You knew no one else will do And I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you How I dig rockin' around with you You know I dig rockin' around You know I dig rockin' around You know I dig rockin' around
It's alright if you love me It's alright if you don't I'm not afraid of you running away Honey, I get the feeling, you won't There is no sense in pretending Your eyes give you away Something inside you is feeling like I do We've said all there is to say Baby Breakdown, go ahead, give it to me Breakdown, honey take me through the night Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can you see? Breakdown, it's alright It's alright It's alright Breakdown, go ahead, give it to me Breakdown, honey take me through the night Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can you see? Breakdown, it's alright It's alright It's alright
Baby can't wait, baby gotta go Gotta do a number on a late night show Do a little song, do a little dance Gonna make the best of her big chance It don't really matter if she don't or if she do Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues Blues I gotta friend, gotta little girl Say she's the best in the whole wide world Said it's so good, said it so unreal Might not last, but it's no big deal It don't really matter if she don't or if she do Just trying to make the best of the hometown blues Blues Baby, save me, save me Save me with your sweet smile Honey, I really need your To help me kill a little bit of time All of the girls run with the crowd They go wild when the lights go down They gotta little money, little in a dream Wanna be the queen of their little scene Don't really matter if they don't or if they do They're trying to make the best of the hometown blues Blues Blues, blues, blues, blues
Well the moon sank as the wind blew The street lights slowly died They call you the wild one, said stay 'way from her Said she could love no one if she tried But then something I saw In your eyes told me right away That you were gonna have to be mine When the strangest feeling came over me Down inside no matter what it takes I'll never get over how good it felt When you finally held me I'll never regret Baby those few hours Will grow in my head Forever Well it's too bad, but I want you To know I understand Yeah, it's been a long time but I don't mind Yeah, it's all right I understand Because something I saw In your eyes told me right away That you were gonna have to be mine When the strangest feeling came over me Down inside I knew right away I'll never get over how good it felt When you finally kissed me I'll never regret Baby those few hours Will grow in my head Forever
Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night Rockin' pretty steady till the sky went light And didn't go to bed Didn't go to work I picked up the telephone Told the boss he was a jerk Your mama don't like it when you run around With me But we got to hip your mama That you got to live free Don't need her. Don't need school You don't like your daddy and you don't like rules So, c'mon baby let's go Don't you hear the rock 'n' roll playin' on the radio Sound so right? Girl your better grab hold Everybody's got to know Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine Oh oo oh my little baby I'm a little bit shakin' I'm a little bit crazy But I know what I want I wanna it right now While the 'lectric guitars are playin' way up loud C'mon baby let's go Don't you hear the rock 'n' roll playin' on the radio Sound so right? Girl your better grab hold Everybody's got to know Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine
Well it was dark at midnight There was hardly any moon And no one really saw much No one was really sure But something didn't seem right Something was kinda queer A roar turned into whispers Everyone stood there As the sound split the ngiht They ran hiding from the light Like strangers in the night Like strangers in the night Well I didn't see no shotgun I didn't see no knife But I saw this crazy black guy With the demon in his eye And I heard him say "white man" I've seen that silver cue You don't remember me well But I remember you As the sound split the night They ran hiding from the light Like strangers in the night Like strangers in the night Well the knife just left his fingers As the black guy took his aim White guy's head exploded The black gut howled in pain Then everybody scattered I heard some woman scream God damn you old black bastard You've blown away my dreams As the sound split the night They ran hiding from the light Like strangers in the night Like strangers in the night
Strange voice on the telephone Telling me I better leave you 'lone Why don't somebody say what's going on Uh oh, I think I been through this before Looks like I'm the fool again Looks like I'm the fool again I don't like it I don't like it You never said you had no number two I need to know about it if you do If two is one I might as well be three It's good to see you think so much of me Looks like I'm the fool again Looks like I'm the fool again I don't like it I don't like it, no Look out! You never said you had no number two I need to know about it if you do If two is one I might as well be three It's good to see you think so much of me Looks like I'm the fool again Looks like I'm the fool again I don't like it I don't like it I don't like it I don't like it, oooow Look out! I don't like it I don't like it I don't like it
Don't hide from me baby Shame on you Incognito honey you're so crude I don't mind Take me hand Baby I wanna be your mystery man Yeah you got ruby lipstick Rose petal rouge And dime store jewelry Cheap perfume I don't mind, take my hand Honey I wanna be your mystery man You know I do, you know I do Oh you know I do, you i do Yeah you know I do, you know I do Baby you know I do, you know I do Don't hide from me baby Shame on you Incognito honey you're so crude I don't mind Take me hand Baby I wanna be your mystery man You know I do, you know I do Oh you know I do, you i do Yeah you know I do, you know I do Baby you know I do, you know I do
White light cut a scar in the sky Thin line of silver The night was all clouded with dreams Wind made me shiver Black and yellow pools of light Outside my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon The clouds are all silver and black Floating around me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon The clouds are all silver and black Floating around me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
Well, she was an American girl Raised on promises She couldn't help thinking that there Was a little more to life somewhere else After all it was a great big world With lots of places to run to Yeah, and if she had to die trying She had one little promise she was gonna keep Oh yeah, alright Take it easy, baby Make it last all night (make it last all night) She was an American girl Well, it was kinda cold that night She stood alone on her balcony (ooh) Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by out on 441 Like waves crashing on the beach And for one desperate moment there He crept back in her memory God, it's so painful, something that's so close Is still so far out of reach Oh yeah, alright Take it easy, baby Make it last all night (make it last all night) She was an American girl
This might sound strange, might seem dumb Depends on the side that you take it in from Depends on the time, depends on the day Depends on a lot of things, who can say I just want to let you know that I will stand by you Through whatever might come, wherever you run Will you stand by me when the time comes Baby do you understand, am I making this clear Are you tuning me out cause I'm coming off weird Well I don't care that's all right That's okay, I don't mind I just want to let you know that I will stand by you Through whatever might come, wherever you run Will you stand by me when the time comes This ain't the right time to say what's on my mind I know, but I look in your eyes And there is no real life at all Baby hold on And someday soon you'll come around You know where I can be found When you heart feels right, seek me out We can talk more then babe, but right now I just want to let you know that I will stand by you Through whatever might come, wherever you run Will you stand by me when the time comes

I walked to the window
Turned out the light
Looked at the city
Went back through the night
Yeah, I stood in the darkness
Stood all alone
Thank God for California
Thank God I'm going home
{Chorus}:
That's right, you hurt me baby
Hurt me good
Hurt me like no one else ever could
Cut me down the middle
Face down in the dirt
And we both know
It's too late to save it
Betcha feel proud about it baby
You taught me how to hurt
That's right
DC-10, 10: 45
Halfway to LA, red in the eyes
You might be the devil
Might just be his friend
It don't make no difference
You ain't gettin' me again
{Chorus}From a table across the room She was signaling me with her eyes I walked over to be introduced I said, "Hello", she just smiled And said, "I know a place Not too far from here We could get away for a while" Yeah, that's when she kissed me And told me her name I never did tell her mine Magnolia I remember the smell Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia And I know that she's out there Somewhere in the world She's forgotten me but I remember her Magnolia Well her lips were as warm As that wet southern night Her eyes were as black as the sky And I wondered aloud Just what I had done right As I lay there, with her by my side Then she took hold of my hand As she looked up at me And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye" And there in the moonlight As I watched her leave I felt a chill down inside Oh, Magnolia I remember the smell Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia And I know that she's out there Somewhere in the world She's forgotten me but I remember her Magnolia I remember the smell Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia

I'm the nightwatchman
I make the rounds
I'm the nightwatchman
I gotta keep my nose to the ground
Honey this ain't no job
For a man like me

I could be just what you need
You got to think
About the pros and cons
You could be right
You could be wrong
{Chorus}:
I'm the nightwatchman
I am security
I'm the nightwatchman
How safe do you wanna be
I sit around at night
And listen to the radio
If I get real bored
I might have a little smoke
Yeah I got a permit
To wear this .38
But listen, my life's worth more
Than the minimum wage

If you reach back in your memory A little bell might ring 'Bout a time that once existed When money wasn't king If you stretch your imagination I'll tell you all a tale About a time when everything Wasn't up for sale There was this cat named Johnny Who loved to play and sing When money wasn't king We'd all get so excited when John would give a show We'd raise the cash between us And down the road we'd go To hear him play that music It spoke right to my soul Every a diamond Every gold The sound was my salvation It was only everything Before money became king Well I ain't sure how it happened And I don't know exactly when But everything got bigger And the rules began to bend And the TV taught the people How to get their hair to shine And how sweet life can be If you keep a tight behind And they raised the cost of living And how could we have known They'd double the price of tickets To go see Johnny's show So we hocked all our possessions And we sold a little dope And went off to rock and roll We arrived there early In time to see rehearsal And John came out and lip-synched His new lite beer commercial And as the crowd arrived As far as I could see The faces were all different There was no one there like me They sat in golden circles And waiters served them wine And talked through all the music And to John paid little mind And way up in the nosebleeds We watched him on the screen They'd hung between the billboards So cheaper seats could see Johnny rock that golden circle An all those VIP's And that music that had freed us Became a tired routine And I saw his face in close-up Trying to give it all he had And sometimes his eyes betrayed him You could see that he was sad And I tried to rock on with him But I slowly became bored Could that man on stage With everything Somehow need some more? There was no use in pretending No magic left to hear All the music gave me Was a craving for lite beer As I walked out of the arena My ears began to ring And money became king

Well, I won't back down No, I won't back down You can stand me up at the gates of hell But I won't back down No, I'll stand my ground Won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground And I won't back down I won't back down Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out I won't back down Hey I will stand my ground And I won't back down Well I know what's right I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin' me around But I stand my ground And I won't back down I won't back down Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out I won't back down Hey, I will stand my ground And I won't back down I won't back down Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out I won't back down Hey, I won't back down I won't back down Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out I won't back down Hey, I will stand my ground And I won't back down No, I won't back down
