Back in the Saddle

Talk about things and nobody cares
Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Standin' in front just shakin' your ass.

Well, well, Lordie my God,
You've got the look in your eyes.
You must of come here to find it baby,

Sweet Emotion
Wearing other things that nobody wears
Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear
Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year.
Said my get up and go musta got up & went.
You got good news but you're a real good liar
Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire.
Riff 8x, then sweet emotion 2x
Pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far.
Tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied
Can't catch me cause the rabbit done died.
Take you back stage you can drink from my glass.
Talk about something you can sure understand
Cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand.
Lord Of The Thighs
I'm waiting for my girls, when you call my eyes.
You got no way to make a man honey,
You got to understand.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.
What do we got here?
She's flashin' 'cross the floor,
Make it perfectly clear.
You're the bait, and you're the hook,
Someone 'bound to take a look.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.
You must of come here to find it,
Although you really don't mind it -
I am the Lord of your Thighs!
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind it -
I am the Lord of your Thighs!
Toys In The Attic
lights
voices scream
nothin' seen
real's the dream
leaving the things that are real behind
leaving the things that you love from mind
all of the things that you learned from fears
nothin' is left for the years
in the attic
Last Child
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
of my hot tail poon-tang sweatheart
sweathog ready to make a silk purse
from a J Paul Getty and his ear
with a face in a beer
Home Sweet Home
Put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's A cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the City and My love's in the meadow
Hand's on the plow and my feets in the ghetto
Don't do nothin'
Ain't no good when boss man's stuffin'
Down their throats with paper notes
as babies cry
When you're rockin' the street
Home Sweet Home
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street.
Come Together
He come groovin' up slowly
He got Joo Joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say, I know you
You know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Right now
over me
He got walrus gumboat
He got Ono side board
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down
Be-low his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
He got early warning
He got Muddy Water
He one mojo filter
He say one and one
and one is three
Got to be good looking 'cause he so hard to see
Walk This Way
till I talked to your daddy, he say
he said "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
oh, the times I could reminisce
'cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
only started with a little kiss
like this!
and your feet flyin' up in the air
singin' "hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn't care
so I took a big chance at the high school dance
wasn't me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I knowed love was here to stay
when she told me to
just gimme a kiss
like this!
little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' I missed
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss
like this!
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to
just gimme a kiss
like this!
Sick as a Dog
please, well get your head out of the loo
please, we're a long long way from home
please, you turn a young man's face to stone
sick as a dog, what's your story
sick as a dog, a cat got your tongue
sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
sick as a dog, 'cause you really ain't that young
please, you were much to my surprise
please, you're a lady in disguise
please, you're the only friend I got
please, you'd be the last to see me rot
please, it's a shame you're so refined
please, she was the last thing on my mind
please, don't be late to take it light
please, you're gonna bay into the night
take it light (?) (4x)
say goodnight
part of song. Last part of song, Joe joins Tom and Brad and Steven plays bass!
Dream On
all these lines on my face getting clearer
the past is gone
it went by like dusk to dawn
isn't that the way
everybody's got their dues in life to pay
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things come back to you
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
dream yourself a dream come true
dream on, dream on, dream on,
and dream until your dream comes true
dream on (7x)
Chip Away the Stone
playing so hard to get
sittin' so cool and nonchalant
draggin' on a cigarette
'n I'll get through some day
'n I want your love babe, if push comes to shove
gonna chip that wall away
chip away at the stone
I won't stop 'til your love is my very own
chip away
that's what I'm gonna do
sweet little mama I wanna get next to you
trying to look so hard
all decked out in your antique dress
while the boys all promenade
if you strike it night and day
if hammer I must, I'm gonna get through your crust
gonna chip that stone away
Sight for Sore Eyes
'neath the city, eatin' ground round
underground is pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the light
that's when I knew she was a
sight for sore eyes
she was a sight for sore eyes
playin' no fair, sleepin' under stairs
downtown's a pity, takin' fair square
under where it's pretty gritty *
I turned the screw she held the knife
oh holy Jesus, she's a sight for sore eyes
sight for sore eyes (she's a nitty gritty)
turnin' in style, walk a mile for your titty
naked foul while under there
under where it's pretty gritty
hey, don't you know people
she's a love lust hussy
she left, oh, she rust me
dear old girl
she was a sight for sore eyes
but she was sittin' pretty
a sight for sore eyes
she was a nitty gritty
sight for sore eyes
peeled back and parted
even at the start it was delight or demise
I feel like a leopard king
sight for sore eyes
she was a sight for sore eyes
Mama Kin
Tell ya, honey, how I feel.
I've been dreaming,
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real.
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been.
You've been fadin', always out paradin.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.
You act like a perpertual drag.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.
[repeat once]

S.O.S. (Too Bad)
making things glow in the night
well, she would if she could, and she'd be good if she would only
tell her lover she be out tonight
'cause I'm a bat
a lonely school boy
and I'm a rat
and it's too bad, can't get me none of that!
Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' bitties
*** stinkin' of gin
well my daddy was hard, his face was pretty scarred
from kickin' ass and playin' poker to win
it's too bad
and it's too bad
can't get me none of that!
*** lady
my mama Cady *
chivalry was born at her feet
well she shoulda thought twice
when pa showed his dice
*** put my daddy to sleep
It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad!

Train Kept A Rollin
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!", and a "ho!"
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way,

But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
