My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle

But I learned how to roll along

My papa said "son, gotta git some fun,

Cos when your old it ain't too good on your own"

Been so long since you heard my song

Gonna pick up my guitar and 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. onstage with 'Lucille'

The thrill is gone but it won't be for long

Cos you know I like to play how you feel

Now that we're back together

Gonna shiver 'n' shake all night

I just gotta say the music I play

Will sure enough 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 baragained for

Comin' home

No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake

Comin' home

Gonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soul

Comin' home

I got over the pain I'm comin' home again

Comin' home

Shiver 'n' shakin' anticpatin'

Comin' home

The thrill is gone but it won't be for long

She was a juke-box dancer

A blue eyed gypsy queen

She always had an answer

For what she'd done

And where she'd been

A feathercane Lady Midnight

For all around to see

She spoke with words of wisdom

And 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

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

C'mon shake me

When night time comes

And I'm ten thousand 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

Get up--keep in line

It's gettin' tighter all the time

Gettin' tighter

Gettin' tighter

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 see nobody

Fooling with you

If you're snowblind

Madonna can hold you

But if you don't understand

There is 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 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

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' around

Is all I can see that I'm doin'

An' it is bringin' me down

Drivin' on a highway going 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

You can walk through 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 through 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

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

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

To lose you I'd rather see

The endless time of space go passing by

Fly

By

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
