Going out, got some time to use
Baby, baby, baby, I just can't lose
Trucking round from town to town
Got to get my rocks off the ground
Going up, I've been down so long
All I need is just one good song
Take me out of this dead end gig
Get my shot at some of the big
If you wanna rock
If you wanna rock
You got to find somebody to roll
I just signed my life away
The record company's got to pay
Got to chase that billboard bullet
Nothing left but to go on and do it
If you wanna rock
You gotta find
If you want to rock
You got to find somebody to roll
Somebody to roll
Going out, got some time to use
Baby, baby, baby, I just can't lose
Trucking round from town to town
Got to get my rocks off the ground
If you want to rock
You got to find somebody
If you wanna rock
You got to find somebody to roll
Somebody to roll
Down Home Girl
Lord I swear, the perfume you wear
Is made out of turnip greens
And every time that I kiss you girl
It tastes like pork and beans
Even though you're wearing them
Citified high heels
I can tell by your giant steps
That you've been walking through cotton fields
Oh, you're some down home girl
Your shoes are green, your dress is red
And your wiggy head is powder blue
But underneath all of that mess,
Well you're still the same old messy you
You're sitting there in that fancy chair
Just drinking champagne like a movie star
When ya oughta be sitting on a sidewalk
Drinking white lightning
Out of a jelly jar
Oh, you're sure down home girl
Dimples in your pretty cheeks
And dimples in your knees
You walk by and baby I
Can smell magnolia trees
You tell me you're from New York baby
But I know you're from way down South
I can hear a Mississippi mama
Every time you open up your mouth
Oh, you're some down home girl
Flying
Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am dreaming
Plane I'm on flies gently as a bird
Captain said something
But I never heard a single word
Here I am flying
Look above you
I'll be watching you
Maybe you won't see me
But soon I'll be flying
Soon I'll be flying home to you
Gazing at the sunrise
Homeland sure looks green far down below
Now we're almost landed
I can see the hostess by the door
Here I am flying
Look above you
I'll be watching you
Maybe you won't see me
But soon I'll be flying
Soon I'll be flying home to you
Won't be long 'till I see
Bridges on our river
Looking at the old familiar lights
Won't be long 'till we'll be
Making up for countless sleepless nights
Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am flying
Look above you
I'll be watching you
Maybe you won't see me
But soon I'll be flying
Soon I'll be flying home to you
Waiting For The Man
Cruising on down to my street corner
Where me and my friends hang out
I'm picking up Billy along the way
Man he knows what it's all about
Jed knows some chicks that can be had
He's got his old man's car
You know that can't be bad
Phil just got numbered in a fight
But we all jumped in now old Phil's alright
Hanging out together on the street
Looking so hot we can't be beat
Keeping so cool when we get hassled
Taking our time to move along
And if you're looking to start some trouble
Man you don't know what you're taking on
Me and Billy all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, oh my my my
Street corner people waiting for the man
Just me and Billy and all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, oh my my my
Street corner people, we're waiting for the man
Shooting our job to the local ladies
Showing them such a good time
Drinking our wine and getting crazy
And moving on down the line
Just me and Billy, all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, oh my my my
We're just street corner people waiting for the man
Me and Billy, all the guys
Fat Marie with the friendly eyes
She ain't so pretty but, oh my my my
Street corner people waiting for the man
We're just street corner people
We're waiting for the man
Born To Love
Reach out and touch my fire
I'll make you know you're alive
Sweet love move in slow
Stretching out like a wire
I'll take you right to the top
Girl as low as you can drop
You'll thank the Lord up above
Woman you'll know you've been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as there's stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Slow down now don't you run
For you there's just no way out
Made up my mind, not wasting time
You're what I'm thinking about
I got myself on your case
You just can't keep up the pace
But you'll thank the Lord up above
Woman you'll know you've been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as there's stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Hey girl don't be a fool
Your bridges all have been crossed
You've got it wrong, my love is strong
So don't go counting the cost
I'm only thinking of you
Give me just an hour or two
Then you'll thank the Lord up above
Woman you'll know you've been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure, sure as the stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
I was born to love you

I Don't Want To Go On Without You
I don't want to go on without you
It's so bad to be alone
Oh baby come home
I need you
My room is so blue
I keep seeing your face
Oh, every place
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories
And smell her sweet perfume
I can't stand to
Live on without you
Oh my darling hear my plea
Come on back to me
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories
And smell her sweet perfume
I can't stand to
Live on without you
Oh my darling hear my plea
Come on back to me
I can't stand to
Go on without you
Oh my darling hear my plea
Go on without you
Can't stand to
No, no, no, no
Go on without you
Oh my darling hear my plea
Go on without you
I can't stand to
Go on without you
Wild Honey
Mama I'm telling you as sure as I'm standing here
She's my girl and that's the way I'm keeping it my mama dear
No good will it do you to stand there and frown at me
The girl's got my heart and my love's coming down on me
Last time I met her since I got a taste of wild honey
sweet, sweet, my honey bee
You know she's got the sweetness of the honey bee
sweet, sweet, my honey
Honey, she got me all and stung me good, oh yesiree
sweet, sweet, my honey
Before he even stung bee's buzzing around her hive
She singled me out, single handed took me alive
I'm gonna take her home and spend my life
Eating up the wild honey
sweet, sweet, my honey bee
Oh mama she's sweeter and sweeter and sweeter, sweeter
Yeah honey
Let me tell you how she really got to my soul
It ain't funny, the way she made me want to sing a little rock 'n' roll
sweet, sweet, my honey
There's nothing quite as good as the taste of wild honey
Break my back working just to save me some money
I can spend my life with her eating up her wild honey
sweet, sweet, my honey bee
Oh honey she's sweeter and sweeter and sweeter
Now
Sweet, sweet, my honey bee
Gimme some
Sweet, sweet, my honey
Gimme some gimme some
She's the one
Sweet, sweet, my honey
Gimme some wild honey
Gimme some gimme some...
L.A. Girls
Two bucks an hour
You can hire a car
You can go most anywhere
That depends on who you are
You can be your own boss
Taking your own time
The sun shines all the time
California girls look fine
You can truck on down the strip any time of night
Pull an L.A. lady to treat you right
Stay home call her on the phone
Saying come on over baby I hate to be alone
L.A. girls in the sunshine
L.A. girls in the rain
I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again
I'm gonna go back again
Everyone's in movies
And everyone's a star
But most of them are filling in time
Working in some bar
They sure don't live in Bellaire
Like they planned to be
Their names ain't in the sidewalk
For everyone to see
But you can truck on down the strip any night
Pull an L.A. Lady to treat you right
Stay home call her on the phone
Saying come on over baby I hate to be alone
L.A. girls in the sunshine
L.A. girls in the rain
I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again
I'm gonna go back again
Word gets 'round the band's in town
They're bustling 'round the hall
Reading last month's Rolling Stone
Talking Rock 'n' Roll
They got all the answers
For everything you say
And even if you pass them by
They gonna tell you anyway
But you can truck on down the strip any time of night
Pull an L.A. lady's gonna treat you right
Stay home call one on the phone
Saying come on over baby I hate to be alone
L.A. girls in the sunshine
L.A. girls in the rain
I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again
I'm gonna go back there again
