I had another drink after another drink and then I tried to crawl to the door I had another smoke after another joke and then I couldn't take any more It didn't change a thing, not any single thing, when someone tried to tell me for sure I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream I read a word or two about everything I never knew the way that it oughta have been They never told me a thing about it I never did know a thing about it And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes they won't go away And the times that I tried are the times that I find they don't show today But you make me feel so good
I woke up after four, still lying on the floor, and waiting to be carried away I woke up once again, a little after ten, will things be any better today It doesn't change you see, it only changes me, well someone tried to tell me I'm sure I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between I never knew the way that it oughta have been They never told me a thing about it I never did know a thing about it And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today But you make me feel so good
I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule, and see if I get carried away I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again, don't listen what the people might say It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing, well someone tried to tell me for sure I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between I never knew the way that it oughta have been They never told me a thing about it I never did know a thing about it And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today But you make me feel so good
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between I never knew the way that it oughta have been They never told me a thing about it I never did know a thing about it And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
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

Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around

Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world You can't remember when you got your last meal And you don't know just how a woman feels You didn't know what rock n' roll was Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus I got there in the nick of time Before he got his hands across your state line
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road The heater don't work and it's oh-so cold You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet You didn't know how rock n' roll looked Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group Half-way home in the parking lot By the look in her eyes she was givin' what she got
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
Well, woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep There's blood on my hands and my Fender's beat Can't give you home for messin' around My best friend told me you're the best lick in town You didn't know that rock n' roll burned So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned You got the rhythm, you got the speed Mamma's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
I said, I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe I, I-i, I, I'm once bitten, twice shy
I see that look on your face I see that look on your face I see that look on your face, oh-oh-oh
The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run S.T.'s showing, you really got me going maybe you can give me a price I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it, tell me would you treat me nice Oh my legs are shaking, oh my heart is breaking I'm just feeling like a boy Now I just can't slow down, gotta get in, go down Have my share of what a joy
Now I've got your name and number, I like to look upon your face And now you know that I wanna take you, give me the time you can name the place Call me honey, you can take my money, baby we can make a deal I really mean it, gotta get between it, do you know the way I feel? Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a way to make you understand Oh I know you're lying and your love I'm buying Oh I'm feeling like a man
The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run S.T.'s showing, really got them going, you can even say the price They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it if you really treat them nice But I'd rather take you, show that I can make you Good enough for just one man Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a Way to make you understand
Once upon a time not so very long ago There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n'roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio Then came a man with a rockin' guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear Nobody cared about the colour of his hair Everybody came to see and let the good times roll
Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?
Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock Time didn't matter never living by the clock Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme He couldn't find the rhyme 'cos he couldn't find the time But still the people came to listen to the good times roll
Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again? Again again again again again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again?

I can't afford a ticket on an old Dakota airplane I gotta jump a ride on a cattle-trucking slow train I guess it doesn't matter As long as I can get my head down in the sun
I wrote a rockin' song, gonna sing it at the station I'll finish all the words when I reach my destination I guess it doesn't matter As long as I can get my head down in the sun
Hey mama, please now don't you fret none Don't worry, but please don't you forget Hey mama, please don't get upset none I gotta leave to find me something better
Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now Believe me, no need for you to write Hey mama, things gonna work out fine now I gotta friend who said that she'd invite me
I came here in the morning and I crept out in the middle of night I gave nobody warning I was leaving and I felt it was right Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right
Got a feeling that I'm leaving with a ticket and I won't jump a ride It's no good you believing that my leaving was a wrong, it was right Now I'm off again, it sure is feeling all right

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

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell C'est la vie, say the old folk, it goes to show you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment with two rooms by themselves The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale But when Pierre found work the little money coming worked out well C'est la vie, say the old folk, it goes to show you never can tell
They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast Seven hundred little records, all rockin' rhythm and jazz But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell C'est la vie say the old folk, it goes to show you never can tell
They bought a souped up jittny, was a cherry red fifty three They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely Mademoiselle C'est la vie say the old folk, it goes to show you never can tell
It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the Mademoiselle And now the young Monsieur and Madame have rung the chapel bell C'est la vie say the old folk, it goes to show you never can tell
I was out on the highway I was out on my feet I was tired and hungry I was late for the meet.
I had a red sky behind me I had the bad guys on my tail I had a hundred different reasons To keep me falling awake I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
I had the desert on both sides now I had the lights in my eyes Of the town I remember Up ahead in the cold black sky
I had a red sky behind me I had the bad guys on my tail I had a hundred different reasons To keep me falling awake I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
Well I remember that old saying 'bout how good tomorrow will be But will I be lucky to see with a red sky's lucky for me
In my dreams there is a picture of me in a big gold frame And the poeple that I've never seen are pointing at my name
I had a red sky behind me I had the bad guys on my tail I had a hundred different reasons To keep me falling awake I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
I had a red sky behind me With the stars coming into view And the thought that kept me going Was soon I'm gonna make it with you
You spend my money, you drink my best red wine You think it's funny to see me all the time Sitting with my head hanging down You treat me just like a clown You spend my money but honey you sure needn't waste my time
When you get older you'll see what you have done You hung on my shoulder and loved me just for fun Someday when I'm older too I'm gonna come and make a fool out of you You spend my money, but honey you sure needn't waste my time
You spend my money, you drink my best red wine You think it's funny to see me all the time Sitting with my head hanging down You treat me just like a clown You spend my money but honey you sure needn't waste my time
