Comin' out of nowhere

Drivin' like rain

Stormbringer dance

On the thunder again

Dark cloud gathering

Breaking the day

No point running

'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow

Crack the sky

Stormbringer coming

Time to die

Got to keep running

Stormbringer coming

He's got nothing you need

He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker

On a stallion twister

Bareback rider

On the eye of the sky

Stormbringer coming down

Meaning to stay

Thunder and lightning

Heading your way

Ride the rainbow

Crack the sky

Stormbringer coming

Time to die

Got to keep running

Stormbringer coming

He's got nothing you need

He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere

Drivin' like a-rain

Stormbringer dance

On the thunder again

Dark cloud gathering

Breaking the day

No point running

'Cause it's coming your way

If I work hard every day

For my money

If I work my finger down to the bone

That ain't funny

Now if I see

Something I can't buy

I put a dollar down

Then I try try try

To get my money

I need my money

A woman who ain't got a dime

I can't use her no

If she ain't got no cash money

I've got to refuse her

I need a woman

With a whole lotta will

So she help me, baby

Help me pay my bill

I need my money

I've got to have money

I need lovin' to give me a livin'

So don't ask me I don't need forgivin'

I will stand up to count the cost

But I know I won't stand the loss

I need a woman

With a whole lotta will

She can help me pay my bill

I need my money

I want my money

Before I say my prayers

I count my money

When I wake up

It has to be there

My money

You see, love--it don't mean a thing

When she loves you

She can't bring, can't bring you no money

I've got to have my money

Lookin' for lovin'

I need a livin'

Called to Madonna

To give me a line

She said boy what have you done

Passing your time with a holy man

Talking about the moon and sun

But I can't tell the difference

Between the fool and wise

Show me a river to follow

Away from all these lies

I've been on my own so long

Won't you lend me your hand

I've been picking up my bones too long

Won't you understand

Called to the captain

To put me ashore

For it looked like no man's land

Is this the way to follow

I cried as I shook his hand

He told me had no answer

He didn't really hold the key

I am a simple man

Was all he said to me

I've been on my own so long

Won't you lend me a hand

I've been out in the cold too long

Won't you understand

I've been on the road so long

Won't you lend me your hand

I've been out in the cold too long

Won't you understand

Heard my mother crying

She was calling out my name

Whisper in the dark night

Saying who's to blame

The hour glass keeps turning

With not enought sand to see

I am a holy man

So don't you bother me

I've been on my own so long

Won't you lend me your hand

I've been pickin' up my bones too long

Won't you understand

I've been on my own so long

Won't you lend me your hand

I've been out in the cold too long

Won't you understand?

You're sweeter than the morning

When the sun is shining down on me

There is nothing you can say

That could make me go away you see

But you keep saying to me baby

Hold on--I feel I'm getting ready

Hold on--I feel I'm rockin' steady

Hold on--I'm gonna make it with you woman

Hold on--You got to gimme some love, gimme some love

I held back before

But your love took me easily

You got the power

I knew was gonna creep up on me

The more I give

Your love keeps comin' on strong

Although it's mine now

I know it won't be for long

There's something in the saying

That a woman needs a little more time

I'm getting tired of waiting for you

Giving me some kind of sign

Hold on--I've got to love you when I want to

Hold on--You've got to love me when I want you to

Hold on--I ain't gonna let you leave me baby

Hold on--No never no more

I know the game you're playing

And I guess you think I'm easily led

You think the words you're saying

Are really going through my head

I'm gonna take you home

And give you all I can

I'll prove to you, baby

That really I'm a man

Hold on--I know I'm feeling ready

Hold on--I know I'm rockin' steady

Hold on--Guess I've made it with you woman

Hold on--I've got you giving me love

Something that you give me

Keeps me hangin' on

No use me stayin'

There's nothing to be done

I'm gonna take you home

And give you all I can

I'll prove to you woman

That really I'm a man

Hold on--I only want to take you higher

Hold on--You are the root of my desire

Hold on--C'mon baby light my fire

Hold on

Get outta my way

I'm gettin' tired of you

There ain't no chance

Doin' what you wanna do

I've been down down down down down

Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer

Get outta my way

Lady double dealer

You got nothing to say

I ain't satisfied

Dealin' with second hand goods

You wanted somethin' for nothin'

Taking everything you could

You been 'round--I got the news

But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose

Lady double dealer

Get outta my way

Lady double dealer

You got nothing to say

I gave love to you

Did what you wanted me to

But all you did was bring me down

So I just had to try

Try to reason why

You took advantage of my love

Two timin' woman

Tryin' to take me for a ride

You're a hard lover honey

But you sure don't keep me satisfied

I wanna be there

To try to make you see

There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta me

Have you ever thought of the feeling

I get when I'm alone with you

It's causing me worry and trouble

I'm going 'round in circles

Don't know what I'm gonna do

You can't do it right

With the one you love

Nothing you can do

Without the one you love

You were always playing my records

When I was after making some love

But I need more than the music

To keep myself together

Although it makes me feel so good

You can't do it right

With the one you love

Nothing you can do

Without the one you love

Sometimes in the morning

I wake up without you

Can't get up, it's getting me down

Tell me what you're trying to do

Later in the evening

You come home feeling low

If you'd stop your cruising

Maybe we could make a show

You can't do it right

With the one you love

Nothing you can do

Without the one you love

Well I'm a rock and roll preacher

Not a Sunday school teacher

You ain't no shady lady

But I love the way you strut your stuff

You're a snow queen looking mean

Tryin' to make it on the scene

I guess you love it

'Cause I always see you hanging' around

You're a high ball shooter

You make it easy to see

High ball shooter

You sure ripped the low ones off me

A magnet brought you to me

Told me your name was Jo

You said you liked my music

And you really did enjoy the show

Now I wanna play piano

But my fingers don't agree

They're busy on you woman

And I feel your fingers workin' on me

You're a high ball shooter

You make it easy to see

High ball shooter

You sure ripped the low ones off me

It's time to leave you honey

I know you're feeling sad

Don't you cry now baby

You know that only makes me mad

I see you everywhere I go

Every town and place

I can't recall your name

But I know I won't forget your sweet face

You're a high ball shooter

You make it easy to see

High ball shooter

You sure ripped the low ones off me

'Cause you're a high ball shooter

You make it easy to see

High ball shooter

You sure ripped the low ones off me

Tell me gypsy can you see me

In your crystal ball

I'm asking you what can I do

My back's against the wall

And I can't hold on much longer

So I've come to you my friend

For now my life seems at an end

I came to see you once before

One hundred years ago

You took my hand and broke the spell

That should have let me go

But my years have gone so slowly

So I'm here again my friend

For now my life is at an end

I have often told you stories

About the way

I lived the life of a drifter

Waiting for the day

When I'd take your hand

And sing you songs

Then maybe you would say

Come lay with me love me

And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller

I looked for something new

In days of old

When nights were cold

I wandered without you

But those days I thougt my eyes

Had seen you standing near

Though blindness is confusing

It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune

Yes, I can hear the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round

I guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune
