Lyrics:
They laid beneath the pine trees with their caps over their eyes
They were drunk with home and mama as they brushed away the flies
In an instant before the sunrise they had gunned the rebels down
As their flags were torn at half mast in the ruins of the town
There were white sails on the water for the crippled on the beach
There was a lack of ammunition so the cause was incomplete
When the bugle blew at breakfast and they knew their ships were in
Signs of grand assurance were carried on the wind
Take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Came the message from the front
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
They just chalked it down in history but they kept their uniforms
They put their medals on the sideboards and they went back to their farms
For it was just a mere reminder that they stood beside the best
That God had saved the chosen few and the devil took the rest
So take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Came the message from the front
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
On the planes above the rock face where the sculptured eagles swoop
There's a haunted yell for action among the specters of his troops
It was silent on the coastline as the crazy angels danced
With the sound of retreating footfall from his military camp
So take it home, take it low, take responsibilities
Came the message from the front
For the captains, captains quarters must retreat
Pack the compass, pack the tents, take the bunks
Take it home
Take it low
Take responsibilities
Take it home
There's all day thinkin' time
And all night drinkin' time
And time to sing and time to find if
Rhyme has a reason
Time to pack it in and stay down
Pack it up and walk away now
Give it one more day or call it a season
I can tell by the tears not in your eyes
It's quittin' time
There's somethin' to be said for sayin' what needs sayin'
A suitcase says it all to me
Before the credits roll, just know I always loved you
So we wrote that famous final scene
And where you turn and walk out on me
There's all day thinkin' time
And all night drinkin' time
And time to sing and time to find if
Rhyme has a reason
Time to pack it in and stay down
Pack it up and walk away now
Give it one more day or call it a season
I can tell by the tears not in your eyes
It's quittin' time
It's quittin' time
Every start has an end
Every first has a last
Every now has a then
Every future has a past
And sometimes you want it back
There's all day thinkin' time
And all night drinkin' time
And time to sing and time to find if
Rhyme has a reason
Time to pack it in and stay down
Pack it up and walk away now
Give it one more day or call it a season
I can tell by the tears not in your eyes
It's quittin' time
It's quittin' time
Pack a pack horse and rest up here on
Black country rock
You never know, you might find it here on

If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, let's get rid of our itch together, Hmm
Joy they say is in the giving
Come on give, make life worth living
Your welfare is my concern
Do a favour for me, I'll do one in return
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, let's get rid of our itch together, Hmm
Scratch me now a little lower
What a feeling do it slower
That's it, Hmm you're getting hot
Well I gotta admit, you just hit the spot
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Like two peas in a pack, let's get rid of our itch together, Hmm
If you'll scratch my back then I'll scratch your back
Can't get the one you love, have to use somebody else.
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
I've got the blues, gonna pack my things and go.
Guess you don't love me, babe, loving mister so-and-so.
Hot August night
And the leaves hanging down
And the grass on the ground smelling sweet
Move up the road
To the outside of town
And the sound of that good gospel beat
Sits a ragged tent
Where there ain't no trees
And that gospel group
Telling you and me
It's love, Brother Love say
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show
Room gets suddenly still
And when you'd almost bet
You could hear yourself sweat, he walks in
Eyes black as coal
And when he lifts his face
Every ear in the place is on him
Starting soft and slow
Like a small earthquake
And when he lets go
Half the valley shakes
It's love, Brother Love say
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
'Cause everyone knows
'Bout Brother Love's show
Hallelujah, brothers
Halle-hallelujah
I said brothers
(Hallelujah) Now you got yourself two good hands
(Halle-hallelujah) And when your brother is troubled,
You gotta reach out your one hand for him
(Hallelujah) 'Cause that's what it's there for
(Halle-hallelujah) And when your heart is troubled,
You gotta reach out your other hand
(Hallelujah) Reach it out to the man up there
(Halle-hallelujah) 'Cause that's what he's there for
Take my hand in yours
Walk with me this day
In my heart I know
I will never stray
Halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle, halle
Love, Brother Love say
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
I say love, Brother Love say
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
(Halle, halle)
Pack up the babies
And grab the old ladies
And everyone goes
Love, Brother Love say
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show
Uh
Yeah, uh, that's right, uh, yeah
Yeah, uh
I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)
I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)
I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full (I was raised by)
Run through the night, playing with ya life
Go against the pack, that's risking ya life (I was raised by)
Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right
I got loyalty and blood, I do anything for love
And everything for us, doing everything like everything ain't been too much
You know my favorite time to come through for ya is the clutch, last second, what a rush
Look, I'm the type to talk to the stars (I look up)
Straight up, these ain't tattoos these are scars
My young dogs will tear you and the witnesses apart (straight up)
They care about starving more than they do about a charge (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Me, I can't break a commitment (no)
I done seen people fuck up the whole team 'cause they couldn't play they position
Talking about they didn't mean it, bitch
You know the road to hell was paved with good intentions
I see myself in my nemesis, I contemplated forgiveness, I think I lost all my innocence
Ho, my life depend on this, this ain't no simple sucka shit
Try and steal and you get bit, that's what you mothafucking get
I feel safer taking risks and I can't eat this on my own life
Put my back against the wall just to see how much I've grown, dawg
I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full (I was raised by)
Run through the night, playing with ya life
Go against the pack, that's risking ya life (I was raised by)
Better play it right, better play it right
I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full
Run through the night, playing with ya life
Go against the pack, that's risking ya life
Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right
I was raised by the wolves, paid all my dues
Always in the game and never played by the rules
Try to make me leave, fell down to my knees
Picked myself up and turned my back to the breeze
Oh, oh-oh
Spent a milli on a milli, mama look at me
With all these diamond chokers, man, it's getting hard to breathe
Now that you are family, cut some branches off my tree
But if you in my circle, know I'll always be around
Don't let me down, you said you'd die for me, well, there's the ground
Ice on my wrist, ice in my veins
But it's a cold, cold world, and you can be predator, you can be prey
I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full
Run through the night, playing with ya life
Go against the pack, that's risking ya life
Better play it right, better play it right
'Cause I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full ('til they full)
Run through the night, playing with ya life (with ya life)
Go against the pack, that's risking ya life (risking ya life)
Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right
I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)
I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)
I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full (I was raised by)
Run through the night, playing with ya life
Go against the pack that's risking ya life
Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right (woo)
Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lotta sweat, a set of wheels
On the Speedway
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty of engines ripping around .. on the Speedway
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doin' a dance
Speedway's comin' and now's your chance
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
Stoke that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway
Take a spin, hit the brakes
A young little girl .. shivers and shakes
On the Speedway
Clear the way, comin' through
Kiss from your baby just pushin' you
On the Speedway
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doin' a dance
Speedway's comin' and now's your chance
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
Stoke that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the Speedway
On the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway, on the Speedway
On the Speedway, on the Speedway
Roll the clip and run it back
I'm really like that
I'm really not friendly, I need my credit
Niggas hate that
I need the numbers, I need the data
Got you talkin' crazy
Abracadabra, you niggas Sideshow
I'm bobbin' like Psycho
You gassin' like Texaco
Infection like microbe
You test it, I might go
You push it, I might pop
I'm fuckin' on heartthrobs
I got your favorite rapper blocked
I heard the dick was whack
Your favorite athlete screamin', "Text me back"
I make no exception
The lesser part of me loves all the cap
He screamin', "Get back together"
I'm screamin', "Back of the bus, trick"
Hawaii for weather
Booty softer than leather
These hoes is featherweight
I wipe my phone and gave some dome, I beat the case
Them "ho" accusations weak
Them "bitch" accusations true
You hatin' from nosebleeds, I wish you well
Smokin' on my ex pack tonight
Smokin' on my ex pack tonight
Smokin' on my ex pack tonight
Smokin' on-
You can trust in me
I can
You said, "I can trust in you"
I can, I can
You can trust in me
You can, you can
Oh-whoa, oh
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
No use crying, talking to a stranger
Naming the sorrows you've seen
Cause there's too many bad times, too many sad times
And nobody knows what you mean
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
No use rambling, walking in the shadows
Trailing a wandering star
No one beside you, no one to guide you
And nobody knows where you are
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
No use roaming, walking by that roadside
Seeking a satisfied mind
There's too many highways, too many byways
And nobody's walking behind
But if somehow you could pack up your sorrows
And give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
You would lose them, I know how to use them
Give them all to me
To the moon we'll lift our voices
In a fearful harmony
No one but us rejoices at
The song of the Seeonee
All for one and one for all
We'll sing out our deeds tonight
Oh hear the tune of the wild hunting call
As we sing by the moon's silver light, silver light
The pack can always defend its own
Whatever its own may lack
And the tiger may be king when he fights alone
But the tiger fears the pack
To the moon we'll lift our voices
In a fearful harmony
No one but us rejoices at
The song of the Seeonee
I've thought about it for a while
And I've thought about the many miles
But I think it's time that I've gone away
The feelings that you have for me
Have gone away it's plain to see
And it looks to me that your pulling away
I'm gonna pick it up
I'm gonna pick it up today
I'm bound pack it up
I'm bound pack it up and go away
I've found it hard to say to you
That this is what I have to do
But there is no way that I'm gonna stay
There are so many things you need to know
And I want to tell you before I go
But it's hard to think of just what to say
I'm gonna pick it up
I'm gonna pick it up today
I'm bound pack it up
I'm bound pack it up and go away
I'm sorry to leave you all alone
You're sitting silent by the phone
But we'd always known there would come a day
The bus is warm and softly lit
And a hundred people ride in it
I guess I'm just another runaway
I'm gonna pick it up
I'm gonna pick it up today
I'm bound pack it up
I'm bound pack it up and go away
In school they all stop and stare
I can't hide the tears, but I don't care
I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack
Ooh, the leader of the pack now he's gone
the leader of the pack now he's gone
the leader of the pack now he's gone
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free
I'm gonna pack my bags because this great big world is calling me
Every pretty girl's gonna know I'm around
They're gonna know I'm in town on a harem holiday
Twenty women, twenty women by my side
I'm gonna kiss them all, because I've gotta keep 'em satisfied
Gonna have the best time money can buy
I'm gonna be flying high on a harem holiday
If Romeo had a harem holiday
You can bet that Juliet would have never been his girl forever
Gonna go back, gonna catch that midnight plane
Twenty dancing girls are waiting just to call my name
Gonna have a ball, I ain't gonna waste no time
I'm gonna make 'em all mine on a harem holiday
If Romeo had a harem holiday
You can bet that Juliet would have never been his girl forever
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free
I'm gonna pack my bags because this great big world is calling me
Every pretty girl's gonna know I'm around
They're gonna know I'm in town on a harem holiday
If you leave her
I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags
Don't say a word
And let's go far away
To another place
Let's hideaway
Oh, just you and me
I peep game long time ago
When he told me, he's never seen a chick before
He wouldn't give me no explanation
'Cause he knows when I pack my bags it ain't for no vacation, oh
I'm gonna do my thing
I'm leaving his alone (I'm gone, I'm gone)
Oh I'm moving on my way
He's history, history (he is history)
If he believe it's over, your'll see
A girl's gotta do what she gotta do oh
If you leave her
I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags
Don't say a word
Let's go far away
To another place
Let's hideaway (we're gonna hideaway)
Oh, just you and me
If you leave her

We'll pack our bags
Don't say a word
Let's go far away
To another place
Let's hideaway
Oh, just you and me
I call six one two, five five, five
Twenty-four, twenty two, to find you
I packed my bag's
Gassed up the Jag
And told my dad
Your the finest girl I never had
And so my lady
Left a message said "page me"
I know it might sound crazy
But say you'll be my baby
She crushed my new Benz
Slept with my best friend
Spent all my ends it's got to end
Ooh how do I know
You won't hurt me like he has
(I know you're afraid he'll want me back)
You've gotta have faith in me (you know I do)
I'd never play you baby
'Cause my love is all right
(That's all you'll ever need)
'Cause I need someone for me
This love was meant to be
It's our destiny
Just run away with me, oh ho
If you leave him
I'll leave her
Let's pack our bags
Don't say a word (our destiny is to be together baby oh)
Let's go far away
To another place
Let's hide away (I wanna know)
Oh just you and me
If you leave her
I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags
Don't say a word
Let's go far away
To another place
Let's hide away
Oh just you and me
If you leave him
I'll leave her
Let's pack our bags
Don't say a word
Let's go far away
To another place
Let's hide away
Oh just you and me
If you leave her
I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags
Don't say a word
Let's go far away
To another place
Let's hide away
Oh just you and me
If you leave him

Oh just you and me
Thou shall get your party on
The boat rides we would take
The moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite song
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
The midway and the fun
The kewpie doll we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike
The rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back
The leaves begin to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong
That things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
(The early morning hike
The rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back)
The leaves begin to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go so wrong
That things that we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
I was following the
I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime
I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime
I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime
You never give me my money
You only give me your sympathy
'Cause I keep on running
There's no way to catch up with me
I'm leaving you, don't make no fuss
You won't even see me, oh no, for dust
I'm running with the pack
Running with the pack
I'm running with the pack
Never looking back
You try to keep me in cages
But baby, you got to catch me first
You think your law is contagious
I'll do my best, you can do your worst
I'm leaving you, now who can I trust
You won't even see me, oh no, for dust
I'm running with the pack
Running with the pack
I'm running with the pack
Never looking back
All right
Look out there
I'm running with the pack
Running with the pack
I'm running with the pack
Never looking back
Running with the pack
I'm running with the pack
Running with the pack
Never looking back
Oh, yeah
You can't hold me down
You can't hold me back
On my own way
Running with the pack, ooh
Never, never, never looking back, oh
Keep on running, keep on running
Yeah, yeah
Moving on, moving out
Oh, oh
They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so-called best friend
They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
They don't scam, don't fight
Don't oppress an equal's given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones' bread, no no
They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs
They don't compare, rats
They don't compare, rats
They don't compare
Oh
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
Ben, the two of us need look no more
If there's a plane or a bus leaving Dallas
I hope you're on it
If there's a train moving fast down the tracks
I hope you caught it
'Cause I swear out there ain't where you ought to be
So catch a ride, catch a cab
Don't you know I miss you bad
But don't you walk to me
Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough
Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby, run
If you ain't got a suit case
Get a box or an old brown paper sack
And pack it light or pack it heavy
Take a truck, take a Chevy
Baby, just come back
There's a shortcut to the highway out of town
Why don't you take it
Don't let that speed limit slow you down
Go on and break it
Baby run, cut a path across the blue skies
Straight in a straight line
You can't get here fast enough
Find a truck and fire it up
Lean on the gas and off the clutch
Leave Dallas in the dust
I need you in a rush
So baby, run
Baby, run
Oh baby, run
Baby, run
After you I could never love again
Darlin' your love would be to much to forget
Losing you I know would drive me crazy
Your memory would never let me rest
It'll be after me after you
Oh those big ole boys
In the middle why choose
If you pack your bags just pack mine to
It'll be after me after you
Holding you holds my world together
So take my hand and just
Tell me that your mine
Without you and your love to keep me going
Darlin' I know I'd go out of my mind
It'll be after me after you
Oh those big ole boys
In the middle why choose
If you pack your bags just pack mine to
It'll be after me after you
It'll be after me after you
Yeah, this is a mean old world, to try to live in all by yourself
This is a mean old world, to try to live in all by yourself
When you can't have the one you really love
Have to use somebody else
Last night I lost the best girl I ever had
Last night I lost the best girl I ever had
That is why this evenin', that is why I feel so bad
I got the blues, baby, I gotta' pack my few rags and go
I got the blues, baby, I gotta' pack my few rags and go
I know you don't really love me darlin'
Ya out ballin' Mr.
Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care,
Nobody loves me, nobody seems to care,
Speaking of bad luck and trouble will you know I've had my share.
I'm gonna pack my suit-case, move on down the line,
I'm gonna pack my suit-case, moving down the line,
Well, there ain't nobody worryin' and there ain't nobody cryin'.
