My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle,
But I learned how to roll along.
My papa said, 'son, gotta get some fun,
Cos when you're old it ain't too good on your own'
Been so long, since you heard my song,
Gonna pick up my guitar 'n' play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But, I knew that I'd be back some day
So I'm comin' home
To give you more than you bargained for...
Comin' home
No mistake, I'm gonna shiver 'n' shake...
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll an' give you my soul...
Comin' home
I got over the pain, I'm comin' home again...
Groovin' to American Bandstand,
B.B. on stage with 'Lucille'
The thrill is gone, but, it won't be for long
Cos you know I like to play how I feel.
Now that we're back together,
Gonna shiver 'n' shake all night
I just gotta say, the music I play
Will sure 'nuff make you feel alright.
Tho' I learned how to rock in the cradle
An' rollin' came so easy to me,
All the years I travelled the world
Made it so clear to see,
It's been so long since you heard my song,
Gonna pick up my guitar 'n' play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you,
But, I knew that I'd be back some day.
Comin' home
To give you more than you bargained for...
Comin' home
No mistake, I'm gonna shiver 'n' shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soul...
Comin' home
I got over the pain, I'm coming home again...
Comin' home
Shiver 'n' shakin', anticipatin'...
Comin' home
The thrill is gone, but it won't be for long...
Lady Luck
She was a juke-box dancer,
A blue eyed gypsy queen.
She always had an answer,
For what she'd done,
An' where she'd been.
A feathercane Lady Midnight,
For all around to see
She spoke with words of wisdom
An' this is what she said to me.
Lady luck
C'mon give me what I want,
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend...
I have always been a sinner
But, then the lady came along
She stole my heart and turned me 'round
'Till I didn't know right from wrong.
She whispered words of kindness
I'd never, ever heard before
Golden words and silver tongue
Till I really couldn't take no more...
Gettin' Tighter
When night time comes,
And I'm 10,000 miles away.
Just lose yourself,
And watch the band kick back and play.
Get up- keep in line,
It's gettin' tighter all the time.
You say you're feelin' fine,
It's gettin' tighter all the time.
Get a load off your mind,
This place is right,
It's hard to find.
The mood is set alright,
It's gonna be a long, long night.
You keep spinnin' 'round,
You find it hard to touch the ground,
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make.
Dealer
If you fool around
With the dealer,
Remember soon
You'll have to pay.
He'll creep behind you,
Like a hunter,
Just to steal your soul away...
I don't want no one,
Messing with my woman.
But, just the same,
I don't want to see nobody
Fooling with you
If you're snowblind
Madonna can hold you.
But, if you don't understand
There's nothing she can do for you...
Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul.
I can feel the fire,
Coming from inside you.
I know what it's like,
Cos I've been burned before.
Ain't no mercy,
In the hunger, but,
You're a fool to yourself
Cos your dealer keeps you begging for more...
Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul.
In the beginning all you wanted,
Was the calm before the storm.
If the bluebird plays the eagle
He finds his song will turn to stone...
Dealer...
I Need Love
I keep singing the same old song,
Like I did before,
When you left me,
You left me in darkness,
I'd never known before.
I was restless,
A fool for your time.
Waiting 'round for you to call.
But, now I've found me,
An angel of mercy I don't feel bad at all...
Your body was honey;
I tasted a lot,
But, let me tell you, babe,
I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me,
An' keep me satisfied,
I need love...
I've got nothing to do,
Ain't got nothing to say,
Just live your life
The way you know,
When you moved on,
You took all the sweetness,
Was I a fool to let you go,
With the woman, I forget for the moment
All the times we knew before,
Tho' I'm still singing
The same old love song,
I don't want you knocking on my door.
Drifter
I was born a rambling man,
An' I never got the chance
To settle down an' get a hold on love.
Takin' air, an' movin' 'round
Is all I can see that I'm doin'
An' it is bringin' me down
Drivin' on a highway, goin' nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess I'll find it somewhere
I know if there's trouble
I ain't takin' the blame
That's why I keep movin'
So nobody knows my name.
Born a loser,
I'm beyond the law
Women behind me,
Never can find me
They can never get together
What I've been here for.
Cos I'm a drifter...
Rollin' on...
Ain't wastin' my time no more.
Love Child
You can walk tho' fire,
Make the north wind blow
Squeeze 'n' tease me, honey,
When you shake your body,
You move my soul...
Let me be your lover,
Won't you let me be your child,
Take me thro' your universe
Y'know that when you smile,
You drive me wild...
Love child
Driving me wild
Love child
Always teasin' me.
You can ride your pony,
Day dream in Fairy Tales
All I know, is I need more,
When I see you dance the seven veils...
This Time Around
The world around us hangs in doubt,
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost, would never be the same.
Eternal lovers; we're not to blame,
There's no mistake, there's no refrain.
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again - this time...
As I look around you can't be found,
To lose you, I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by,
This time around...
This time around...
So look around, we all will be found
In love...
The world around us hangs in doubt,
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost, would never be the same
Eternal lover, you're not to blame,
There's no mistake, there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood,
Are here again - this time...
To lose you, I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
Fly...
By...
Owed To 'G' (instrumental)
You Keep On Moving
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry ... still returning.
Dawn will soon be breaking,
The day has just begun.
You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun.
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread
