All I want is a little patch of sky
For the moon to shine on my way
All I want is a glass of whiskey
To drink in silence at the end of the day
The world is tumbling down Darkness all around
Can't get no release
And all I want – is just a little bit of peace
All I want is one quite minute
While the sun sets into the sea
All I want is to see her smile
Just before dawn as she dreams
The world is tumbling down Darkness all around
Can't get no release
And all I want – is just a little bit of peace
A white cloud on a mountain top
Wishing that song would never stop
Sunset on a lonely beach
A pretty woman just out of reach
Eagles soaring high on the breeze
Drops of rain falling from the trees
The sound of Blues, a shuffle beat
My baby's voice calling for me
Feel like a stranger, travelling in my land
Feeling in danger, fighting god and man
Times are hard, people fear to speak their minds
Grab what they can, leave the rest behind
I know where I'm coming from
I know where I want to be
I know all this will change before the Jubilee
Drunken fool singing songs to the midnight breeze
Running through red lights, feeling lost at sea
Broke up the band, future's in a haze
Missing old friends, take a leap of faith
I know this is the time
I know I will be free
I know all this will change before the jubilee
You left me burning, slashed to the core
My soul is yearning, crying for more
She's the best thing ever happened to me
Soothes my soul, sets my spirit free
Rock'n'roll, ain't for the weak of heart
Cut the lifeline, make a brand new start
I know what I want to do
I know who I want to be
I know all this will change before the jubilee
Running down this road turning left and right
Chasing a dream, just beyond my sight
They told my I can't, I said I just might
But I’ve finally seen the light
But I’ve finally seen the light
I thought I had it covered, almost had it right
But I lost my connection at the edge of night
Couldn't see no colors, only Black and white
But I’ve finally seen the light
But I’ve finally seen the light
There were dark clouds
All around my soul
But you blew them all away
I get evil thoughts
In the dead of night
But you bring the light of day
Taking one more breath, ready for the fight
I can see the darkness becoming bright
Those birds of prey, they have taken flight
But I’ve finally seen the light
But I’ve finally seen the light
I was born on the eve of the seventh day
The first song they taught me to sing was a prayer
Tried to keep me in line but I wouldn’t stay
Well, you know how the road to hell is paved
Running with the devil by my side
Breakin’ up the party, pouring fuel on the fire
I’m too mean to live and too wicked to die
Running with the devil by my side
I’ve been scratching the walls, pacing the cage
Shake off my Blues, gonna break these chains
Gonna kick in the windows, Blow out the doors
Getting smacked in the face, But I come back for more
Running with the devil by my side…
I’ve been walking the walk, talking the talk
Shucking and jiving, and punching the clock
I want to feel the bone, and taste the blood
I want to feel the bruises, as I wrestle the gods
Running with the devil by my side…
Everybody's talking about the way things used to be
They say today it's all about money, corruption and greed
But you and me, baby, we've heard this all before
The past is always golden, nostalgia evermore
We're gonna turn back the clock tonight
We're gonna kick back and rock, that's right
People always saying the music's gonna die
Nobody knows just when, but they know just why
But you and me, baby, don’t pay that no mind
We just walk the walk, we leave the talk behind
We're gonna turn back the clock tonight
We're gonna kick back and rock, that's right
We're gonna boogie like it's 1955
So pump up the sound and hit the overdrive
We're getting funky like it's 1975
We ain't too old to Rock'n'roll as long as we're alive
Mad dogs roaming through the streets
Ground is burning beneath our feet
People lashing out in fear
Screaming louder so they won't have to hear
What if we're all wrong
Hard times coming, Must stay strong
What if we're all wrong?
Freedom comes at such a cost
No easy answers, you feel lost
I try to smile when someone speaks your name
But I still think about you night and day
What if we're all wrong
Hard times coming, must stay strong
What if we're all wrong?
The streets are empty, can't hear a sound
Feels like I'm dreaming in this ghost town
People playing games of piety
Look in the mirror tell me what do you see
What if we're all wrong
Heaven help us, hear my song
Where did we go wrong?
I met her the night I came off the road
I felt like I'd been kicked from door to door
She said "Honey I'm as good as they come"
Since that night she's been my good luck charm
I need her every night and every day
I give her all that I can give
She heals my soul and keeps my demons at bay
She is my reason to live
This whole world is going up in flames
Sometimes it's hard, feels so insane
She make my nights so sweet, brightens up my days
That woman has cured me of my evil ways
I need her every night and every day…
I love to see her eyes shine like diamonds in the sun
I get chills all down my spine when she says that I'm the one
Hounds of hell barking at my door
Turn out the lights; don't want to see any more
She takes me in her arms, tells me it's OK
Somehow we'll make it through another day
I need her every night and every day….
Walking through town just the other night
I thought I saw you just beyond my sight
Spun around real fast, looked from left to right,
Couldn't see nothing for the tears in my eyes
It's been that way for quite some time
Ever since the day that we said goodbye
I don't want you back but I can't get you out of my mind
I gave you everything but you wanted much more
I tried to hold on but you wounded my soul
Treated me so bad 'till I let you go
But I still think about you every night when I'm alone
I know I was right to leave you behind
I have no regrets most of the time
I don't want you back but I can't get you out of my mind
I don't want you back but I can't get you out of my mind
When the sun came up my eyes were red
My glass was half empty and so was my head
You said one word as you shut the door
My ears are still ringing with the sound of that "NO"
Last night I dreamed that you came to me
Asked to get back like we used to be
Promised it'd be better just wait and see
Woke up in a sweat, thanking god that I'm free
I tell myself just to give it some time
I'm happier now, I'm doing just fine
I don't want you back but I can't get you out of my mind
I've been in exile since I was born
Always preferred it that way
Like an outlaw I travel at night
Avoiding the light of day
Blending into the crowd, watching,
Spreading disinformation
On the far side of the mirror
On the outside looking in
I thought I won her heart that night
But she was playing to win
I stole her from a friend of mine
But it was she who took me from him
She hadn't seen me in some time
Asked me where I'd been
She did not seem too surprised when I said
"On the outside looking in"
Teachers, preachers, rabbis and cops
All want to have their say
Telling me how it really is
And how I should play the game.
Politicians and beauty queens
Flashing prime-time grins
I ain`t really that far away
I`m just outside looking in.
I still see it when I dream
Hear it in the southern wind
But when day breaks I'm still out here
On the just outside looking in
She's got a secret smile that she saves for me
She's got a secret smile that she saves for me
She's got a secret smile that she saves for me
A movement of her lips that only I can see
She's got a secret song that she sings for me
She's got a secret song that she sings for me
She's got a secret song that she sings for me
There's something in her voice that only I can hear
She's got a secret walk, delicate and fine
She's got a secret walk, delicate and fine
She's got a secret walk, delicate and fine
A movement of her hips that tells me that she's mine
Everyone is getting old
Everybody's growing bald
So am I – but I'm living the dream
Everybody's leaving town,
But the turkeys can't keep me down
Not me – I'm living the dream
Sometimes I feel like I'm still at school
Some people think I'm just a fool
Taking my time, spilling the wine
Step out of line, committing a crime
But look at me – I'm living the dream
I'm not sitting on top of the world
Can't buy you no diamonds or pearls
This is it – living the dream
Got no platinum credit card
No frequent flyer or company car
Not a mega star – but I'm living the dream
Don't have much, got nothing to lose
Spending my lifetime paying my dues
See me grin while singing the Blues
Everyone wants to be in my shoes
Don't cry for me – I'm living the dream
Don't have much, got nothing to lose
Spending my lifetime paying my dues
See me grin while singing the Blues
Everyone wants to be in my shoes
Don't cry for me – I'm living the dream
Rumors flying around the town
People trying to get me down
I don't care if they think I'm a clown
'cause I got a woman who's fine and brown
I don't mind about what they say
I don't care about what they do
All my troubles just seem to fade away
When I spend my time with you
Everyone's pushing, trying to score
Always grabbing for some more
I might end up scratched and sore
But you always smile when you open your door, so
I don't mind about what they say
I don't care about what they do
All my troubles just seem to fade away
When I spend my time with you
I don't mind if I lose my job,
Don't care if I have to steal and rob
And if I ever lose my way
I know your love saves me every day
I don't mind about what they say
I don't care about what they do
All my troubles just seem to fade away
When I spend my time with you
I've been pounding the phones all night and all day
I've been pounding the phones all night and all day
I have done my job – now I'm trying to get paid
Don't tell me your problems, we ain't that kind of friends
Don't tell me your problems, we ain't that kind of friends
When you were riding high you didn't remember my name
Now my car won't start and my rent is due
I'm getting real tired of chasing after you
I've been pounding the phones all night and all day
I have done my job – now I'm trying to get paid
