"Rolling Home"

"Rolling Home"


Me and my lady love the way you're moving
Me and my lady love
All night long you've got us up and groovin'
Reelin' and rollin' along
Saturday night you made it alright
And everyone liked your reelin' and rollin' along
Me and my lady love the way you're rollin' home

Late last night my motor broke a rotor
Broken down by the road
Even though I need it, I just had to leave it
Head down to the show
There in the crowd my lady I found
Movin' around reelin' and rollin' along
Me and my lady like the way you're rollin' home

Don't you ever lose it don't you ever blues it
Don't you ever change your way
People try to ban you they don't understand you
Don't you think that's a shame
I was alone nowhere to go
Now I've a love and a lady to take me along
Me and my lady love the way youre rolling home

"Rotten To The Bone"

"Rotten To The Bone"


I left my home one day for the sake of better pay
In a foreign land twelve centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps pouring down on the holes down in the ground
And I dream of the girl I left behind

Well I signed on the dotted line and I thought in a few years time
I'd be home and we could start a brand new life
But everything went wrong and I just don't know how long
They will make me stay to pay for my crime
And I wish I was

Rollin' home, rollin' home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home
There's someone waiting there for me

There's a law that rules this land that I just didn't understand
I didn't know that I was doing wrong
But they don't seem to care and they'll do it when they're over there
But here you face the justice of their God
And I wish I was

Rollin' home, rollin' home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home
There's someone waiting there for me

All the money that I saved to pay for better days
Just can't make up for how I miss you so
There's no consolation prize but when I close my eyes
I'm dreaming of you in our new home
And I wish I was

Rollin' home, rollin' home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home
There's someone waiting there for me

Rollin' home, rollin' home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh-oh rollin' home, rollin' home
There's someone waiting there for me

"Round And Round"

"Round And Round"


Monday morning, beautiful sunshine
Don't wanna go to work now
Guess I won't be missed this one time
Nobody's getting hurt now
Telephone call on the red card hotline
I'm never gonna learn how

We go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
What goes round and round and round will come together again

I dream all day, she tells me I'm lazy
I think she'd better go now
She don't understand, she's an airhead baby
I'm a legend in my own town
On the cards it's a definite maybe
There's gonna be a showdown

And we go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
What goes round and round and round will come together again

We go round and round and round and round and over again

Sometimes cool, sometimes crazy
I never have a bad day
I stay clear when everything's hazy
I never have a mad day
Do my best, nothing can change me
I gotta do it my way

'Cos we go round and round and round and round and over again
We turn inside out and upside down but in the end
What goes round and round and round will come together again

"Rude Awakening Time"

"Rude Awakening Time"


It's time to make it better, it's rude awakening time
So write it in a letter and you can clear your mind
You make me very happy, you make me very sad
It's time to make it better, the best I ever had
It's time to make it better, but nothing lasts for ever
It's rude awakening time

So get moving and get yourself off my bed
Well get moving and get yourself gone instead.
You been away so long you can't find your way home
You've been using and wrapped yourself round your head
You're confusing everything that you said
You been so far gone so gone so far so long
You been gone so long so gone so far so long

It's time to make it better, it's rude awakening time
Well write it in a letter and you can clear your mind
You make me very happy, you make me very sad
It's time to make it better, the best I ever had
It's time to make it better, but nothing lasts for ever
It's rude awakening time

And just maybe you oughta think twice ahead.
It's been a long, long time since you've been close to home

It's time to make it better, it's rude awakening time
Well write it in a letter and you can clear your mind
You make me very happy, you make me very sad
It's time to make it better, the best I ever had
It's time to make it better, and nothing lasts for ever
It's rude awakening time

You've been rollin' and rockin' it another way
You've been slowly giving up day by day
You been so far gone so gone so far so long
You been gone so long so gone so far so long

"Run To Mummy"

"Run To Mummy"


She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
And she really isn't bothered at all
She never hurt me really, maybe she's worth it
But it's rapidly becoming a bore
She says I mess around, take her for a ride
She thinks I gotta little bitty hidden on the side
But doesn't everybody have a little bitty hidden on the side?

I know it's silly but there, there isn't really
Any truth in what she's saying at all
I get suspicious of all her loving kisses
Just before she goes a-missing for hours
She's messing me around, giving me a ride
I think she's got a little bitty hidden on the side
Why does ev'rybody keep a little bitty hidden on the side?

Maybe I'm crazy but I, I love my baby
Maybe baby's just a pain in the heart
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
Screaming, Mummy, it's a-falling apart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah run to mummy run run
He's a-breaking my heart
Run to mummy run run, yeah yeah run to mummy
He's gonna take us apart

She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
And she really isn't bothered at all
She never hurt me really, maybe she's worth it
But it's rapidly becoming a bore
She says I mess around, take her for a ride
She thinks I gotta little bitty hidden on the side
But doesn't everybody have a little bitty hidden on the side?

Maybe I'm crazy but I, I love my baby
Maybe baby's just a pain in the heart
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
Screaming, Mummy, it's a-falling apart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah run to mummy run run
He's a-breaking my heart
Run to mummy run run, yeah yeah run to mummy
He's gonna take us apart
Fooling with my feelings, messing with my mind
I know she's got a little bitty hidden on the side
Why does ev'rybody have little bitty on the side?

She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
Screaming, Mummy, it's a-falling apart
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
Maybe baby's just a pain in my heart
She runs to mummy when she comes over funny
Screaming, Mummy, it's a-falling apart

"Runaround Sue"

"Runaround Sue"


I'm gonna tell a story and it's sad but true
About a girl that I once knew
She took my love and ran it around
With any other single guy in town

I should have known it from the very start
This girl would leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't wanna cry like I do
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you and she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
She goes out with other guys

Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

I should have known it from the very start
This girl would leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue

"Runaway"

"Runaway"


Riding on a high
Riding so high now I'm leaving
Am I running far from my own fears
I'm never facing up
I never face up to the reasons
And never showing any of my tears
Cos I
Leave out the back way
Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time

And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs

Take me far away
Take me away to an island
And leave me hear to cry in my own tears
Try me once again
Try me again when you're passing
Maybe I'll remember you in years

I can't go out the back way
Just the way that I came in
I hope it seems like the logical way, at the time

Beacuse I'll run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs

Looking for so long
But I am listening longer
I haven't seen or heard a thing from you
I can't stay here
I couldn't stay here if you paid me
I can't give you any guarantees
I won't
Go out the back way
Not the way that I came in
Beacuse it seems like the logical way, at the time

And then I run, run, run
And seek a hideaway
I'm on the run, run, run, I'm falling
Run, run I'm a runaway
Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs

Can I go back
Can I go back where I started
I always will remember my needs
I always will remember my needs
I said,I always will remember my needs

"Saddling Up"

"Saddling Up"


Always there, you think I don't matter
Treat me bad, it's gonna get badder
Sad times'll be a whole lot sadder
Changed my mind, now I feel fine

Kissed goodbye to all your flirtin'
Calling time on all your hurtin'
I admit, it just ain't workin'
I booked some space in a different place

And I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
Saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
Yeah saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)

And I'm saddlin' up, I'm-a thinkin' straight
Saddlin' up, I just can't wait
Saddlin' up, it's-a never too late
Whoa, saddlin' up
Whoa, I'm saddlin' up

I'll put you back in your place girl
Trailer trash, a waste of space girl
Shouldn'a called me cactus face, well
I ain't fussed, now eat my dust

Cos I'm saddlin' up, I've got no fear
Saddlin' up, I'm outta here
Saddlin' up, I'm-a disappear
Whoa, saddlin' up
Whoa, I'm saddlin' up

I thread my reins
Adjust my girth
I wax my boots
I shine my spurs
Whoa, saddlin' up

I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
I'm saddlin' up (saddle up, saddle up)
Whoa, saddlin' up

I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Yeah saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Whoa, saddlin' up

I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Yeah saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
I'm saddlin' up (he's saddlin' up)
Whoa, saddlin' up

"Sail Away"

"Sail Away"


Sail away to the place across the sea
Leave today so you cannot bother me
And you cannot fail to see
That it doesn't really matter much to me
No it doesn't really matter that much to me

Blown away any time I wanted you
Played away so I thought I'd try it too
Just to see what I could do
But it didn't really matter much to me
No it didn't really matter that much to me

Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
Making up for lost time, lost time

Sail away, don't believe I give a damn
Go today, go and leave me as I am
I'll remember when I can
And it doesn't really matter much to me
No it doesn't really matter that much to me

Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
Making up for lost time, lost time

Sail away, could it be I've found away
For today is the day I'm gonna write
'Bout the story of my life
Will it ever really matter much to me?
Will it ever really matter that much to me?

Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side
Stepping over that line, checking out the birth-sign
Making up for lost time, lost time
Living on the east side, looking to the west side
Looking on the bright side, bright side....

"Save Me"

"Save Me"


Baby. baby, I've been watching you
Maybe, lately, you've been watching me too
Save me, save me from myself
Maybe looking at someone else

Something tells me something's missing for you
Someone told me you done told on me too
Save me, save me from myself
Baby, keep it to yourself

Oh, I don't know where I'm going
Oh no, I don't much care and I don't know where I'm going

Lonely, lonely, I'll be thinking 'bout you
Only, lonely I'll be msiing you too
Save me, save me from these tears
Baby, you don't even hear anymore
