"Blue Eyed Lady"

"Blue Eyed Lady"


Little blue eyed lady, how come you're all alone?
I've been asking, no-one seems to know
To whom do you belong little blue eyed lady?

The band are really moving, everyone is grooving around
Little lady, you're still sitting down
Excuse me if you will, little blue eyed lady

The party's nearly over, your eyes still read the same
Are you looking for one who never came?
Are you a passing cloud or a new found baby?

Little new found baby, how come you're all alone?
I've been asking, no-one seems to know
Are you a passing cloud little blue eyed lady?

"Blue For You"

"Blue For You"


When I get old and find the time
I'll paint a picture about my life
I'll paint it blue for you, I'll paint it blue for you.
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I'm blue for you.

When I was younger I tried so hard
To find a good woman and give her my love
I found a woman sweet as can be, I found a woman for me
I didn't know I had the world
I was still looking for ways to your love
Now that I know, I feel so low, I'm blue for you

Cheatin' and lyin', I played around
Livin' and dyin', you stood your ground.
Cheatin' and lyin', you knew so well
There's no good denying, you know me too well

When I'm alone I realise
Your eyes were smilin' but deep inside
I saw the blue in you, everything blue for you.
You gave me love, a love so strong
I treated you so bad, I treated you wrong
Now I want to show, I feel so low, I'm blue for you.
Feel so low, I'm blue for you.
I feel so low I'm blue for you.

"Blues And Rhythm"

"Blues And Rhythm"


I saw this picture in a magazine
With it's gold plated grovers, such a clean machine
So I, I did my homework and I worked like hell
As the brown-eyed handsmone man said, you never can tell

I got that blues and rhythm, good enough to eat
Sound and vision, hit me with the backbeat

Blues and rhythm, good enough to eat,
Sound and vision, hit me with the backbeat
Blues and rhythm, something for my soul
My decision, give me rock and give me roll

I started gigging in my early teens
Sewed the red leather patches on my filthy jeans
Got my first Fender tele, got my Marshall stack
Big head, knock 'em dead, I know where it's at

I got that blues and rhythm, good enough to eat
Sound and vision, hit me with the backbeat
Blues and rhythm, something for my soul
My decision, give me rock and give me roll

Don't anybody listen anymore?
I can still hear them banging on my bedroom door
Is it too late to tell them? Will they understand?
Calm down, come on round and listen to the band

We got the blues and rhythm, good enough to eat
Sound and vision, hit me with the backbeat
Blues and rhythm, something for my soul
My decision, give me rock and give me roll

Jailhouse rocker, make you tap your feet
Classic shocker, listen to the backbeat

I got that blues and rhythm
I got that blues and rhythm
I got that blues and rhythm
We got that blues and rhythm

"Born To Be Wild"
(originally by Bonfire)



Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darlin', go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darlin', gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

"Break The Rules"

"Break The Rules"


Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
I asked no questions, I got no lies
A one off winner, I didn't want any ties
And I knew it wasn't right
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour
And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel
Tower
She stopped the motor by her own front door
I knew she'd done it so many times before
But I was off of the floor
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down
'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town
Then I saw the face from the night before
My purse was empty lying there on the floor
But like I told you before
That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk stool
And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

"Breaking Away"

"Breaking Away"


Me and my friends gonna make a pile of money
Gonna check it out every day
Me and my wife gonna need every penny
'cos we're throwing it all away

But I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away

Me and my friends we're rugged little rockers
And we're lazing away the day
Hot wax jacked-up on the television
And forgetting about the pay

But I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Breaking away

Four rockers rollin'
With a poet in the wings
Waiting to blow his heart away
Beanos with the road-crew
Postcards to the wife
Stating the menu of the day
Flying through 'til breakfast
Sleeping on the plane
Looking a good deal
Better than we'll ever feel again

Is it really worth it?
Could it all be real?
Am I just living out a dream?
Sitting in a hotel
Falling of the stage
Tuning in to Wonga Queen
Old men in boys' clothes
Has gone beyond a joke
Skin me another
And pass along the Wiskey and the Coke

Me and my friends are hating everybody
Who was telling us what to say
Heads down rockin' on up and down the country only
Living from day to day

And I'm changing my tune
And I'm breaking away
Breaking away

"Bring It On Home"

"Bring It On Home"


If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah

You know I laughed when you left
But now I know I only hurt myself
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'll give you jewellery, money too
And that's not all, all I'll do for you
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know I'll always be your slave
'Til I'm dead and buried in my grave
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you ever change your mind
About leaving, leaving me behind
Oh-oh bring it to me, bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yeah
Bring your sweet loving, bring it on home to me, yeah...

"Broken Man"

"Broken Man"


Sitting by a broken window
Up in a back room swallowing wine
Gazing down a backstreet garden
With my bed chair table and wine
Looks like I'm going no where but no where's where I am
Guess I?ll always be a backstreet broken man

Calling out my name and number
As I was walking out of my cell
Louie gave me back my wallet
He nearly dropped my picture of Nell
Drinking gets you nowhere but nowhere's where I am
Guess I?ll always be a backstreet broken man
Oh broken man, oh yeah, broken man

Early on a Sunday morning
As I was walking on down the lane
Someone said, I beg your pardon
And I was sure I knew her name
She was going somewhere but nowhere's where I ran
Guess I?ll always be a backstreet broken man
Oh that's where I am, guess I'll always be a backstreet broken man

"Burning Bridges"

"Burning Bridges"


Building dreams has always been my way
Making time and living for the day
Burning bridges never made me cry
I could walk away with no goodbye
Easy take or easy leave them all
'Til you scratch the writing on the wall

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me, leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Faking it, making me cry

One day some day I may slide away
Turn around and call it all a day
Even though I've fooled myself for years
I can't escape this ringing in my ears

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me, leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Faking it, making me cry

"Bye Bye Johnny"

"Bye Bye Johnny"


Well she drew out all her money from the Southern trust
And put her little boy aboard a greyhound bus
Leaving Louisiana for the golden west
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son, named Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

She remembered taking money out from gathering crops
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble she'd be satisfied
Never thought there'd ever come a day like this
When she had to give her son a goodbye kiss

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

Well she finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for them by the railroad track
Every time she heard a locomotive roar
She'd be standing and a-waiting by the kitchen door

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode

I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
I said bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye bye-bye,
I said bye-bye Johnny, bye-bye Johnny B. Goode
