You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe

Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd you...
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe (2x)

---(instrumental)---

I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe (2x)

Gotta give you love oh cherry
dance for me there's only you
play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through

Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden , We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of thei night I roll alone

On the tabletops she's dancing, sit and smile into your beer
Turn around no cherry for me, let me know you know I'm here
We are golden, We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of the night, making it feel all right
Come on cherry let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever, now.....
(1) (instrmental)

Gotta give my love oh Cherry, dance for me there' s only you
play the barrooms just for pennies, wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden, we are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
into the highways of the night I roll alone
				

(1) Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll

(2) She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

When these wheels get rollin'
Let 'em roll right over you
The time will be sound and I'll always put it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

(2) Repeat
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
				

Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

(1) Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be near you
Don't say that youll never know
Love to love to love you

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's only rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

(1) Repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay

[INSTRUMENTAL]
				

Since you came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much

(1) Cause it's the natural thing feelin' the star
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, get up a star
Then she'll never let you go

Hey girl, now does it feel all right
Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight
Wait til we start to move

(2) May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it

I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down before the last call
With every star she meets

(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
(1) Repeat

Why'd you do it, why'd you do it
				

(1) Lady loves to hang on
Lady liked a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window that you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
And every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Your wish for cinders embers to keep
Over my head, so it' all

(2) Out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on

(2) Repeat
(1) Repeat
				

Who's taking time out, we'll take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school and stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me rock me
Come on back now d o it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kicking out just like a hurrican3

We can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say
we can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say

Come on the street now on every corner
breaking out and we're doing what we want to
Just like a jewel shines in the night
she burns so hot out under the street light

chorus

We are here and there's no end
we keep on coming again
we are here and there's no end
we just keep coming again

instrumental

Who's taking time out, we take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose

If you aint with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' out just like a hurricane

We'll keep on coming again

We can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say

(1) Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more

Lovin' up some ransom, weapon and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage lesion make a mark on you
Make a big tome status, then we run them through

(2) Mother Mary could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy

(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
				

(1) Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thingin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt

You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop bein' a star only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
And that's left when life's lost it's charm

This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to take
Stayin' in this city will drive you insane

(1)

Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now til next year it'll always be the same
The black back streets an people who don't know your name
Go with the wind if it'll only carry you away
				

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart

(1)Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
She's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

(2)Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more

(1)repeat
(2)repeat
				

Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast
I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone

(1) You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat

(1) The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah

Houston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care


(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
I'm a loser, I'm a loser
I'm a loser
				

Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come

From the back streets there's a rumblin'

Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams

(1) Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London
Hold 'em tight 'til the end
God knows when I'm comin' on [my] run

Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what's been taught
And now it shows

(1) Repeat

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(1) Repeat

You keep comin', there's no runnin'
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growin'
Time we said goodbye

(1) Repeat

Lights out, lights out in London
Lights out, lights out in London
				

Seventeen and natures queen,you all know what I mean
Twenty-one a lone one, you can see the number's run
Now you look so peaceful, lying there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet
(2)Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shallow earth is closin' in above her lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the hands on your clock
Heavens door don't open, when you can knock

(2)Repeat

With all the darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
Just one sweet kiss, on your clay cold lips
long, long sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

(1)Repeat
(2)Repeat
				

Caught in the crossfire, warnin' fight
Legends make or break game
Swept up by the rolling waves of the night
The paper chase for fame

I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle

Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change

(1)And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

(2)Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

[INSTRUMENTAL]

(2)Repeat

I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range

(1) Repeat
(1) Repeat (ad lib)
				

Was a fast tough woman loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down for real
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills

(1) You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

(2) I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

Holing out in my hotel room police they finally come
And there's the prosecution, and my friends have palmed the gun

(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
