Lyrics:
me shine
Where the hell were you now
Detroit City back in '99
Stoned out of my mind
On that rock n' roll pain train
I had to slow things down
the emptiness,
When the place you call home is closed for business
I push the pain down, I gotta get by
Always knowin in my heart that it ain't gonna fly
Rock
By the banks of the river where the willows hang down
And the wild birds all warble with a low mourning sound
Down in the hollow where the water
Cruisin' my cars in these streets!
Never have felt so at peace!
Window is down, my song speaks!
Feel so alive and so free!
Blondie is here, down by Henry's
polite
They've got me cornered
Cornered in the light
We could change that overnight
So goodnight to all the world
Sleep tight all you boys and girls
sure as God's hand and the tickin' of the clock
The lord's light'll shine under every slimy rock
Well last night I slept the sleep of fear
And I heard
now y'all see me?
On the TV
Multimillionaire by the time I'm 23
Gettin' no sleep, ragin' for a week
I hit number one and I ain't even hit my peak
I
On this rock pile, with my ball and chain
They call me by a number not a name Lord, Lord
Gotta do my time, I gotta do my time
With an aching
And I'm not sitting on the sidelines watching
It pass me by
I'm leaving you my legacy
I gotta make my mark, I gotta run it hard
I want you to remember
try to hold dough
Give me mine before Po, wrap you up in so-and-so
I ran the Dark Ages, Constantine and great Henry the Eighth
Built with Ghengis
the funk will make me freak
If I should die before I waked
Allow me Lord to rock out naked
Bored by the ordinary time to take a trip
Calling up a little
good afternoon, good night
What have you done with your life?
Everybody time comes to be embraced by the light
You only scared to die when you ain't
Hey, rebel soul
Rebel soul
I feel just like I'm trapped by nighttime
I sleep with one eye open in the day
I've walked the wrong way but I've walked
Stranger I know where you'll find her
Down the road from here about a mile and a quarter.
You'll know the place by a shackey barn
That stands in
the funk will make me freak
If I should die before I waked
Allow me Lord to rock out naked
Bored by the ordinary time to take a trip
Calling up a little
caught him down by the Mississippi
Reuben pulled a long gun, Henry pulled a Colt
Got him the chest, that was all she wrote
Hard times at Hardscramble,
Oh, I was standing by the bedside
Where my fevered mother lay
When she called me close beside her
And I thought I heard her say
I've just
Hey, rebel soul
Rebel soul
I feel just like I'm trapped by nighttime
I sleep with one eye open in the day
I've walked the wrong way but I've walked
radio city)
(The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)
Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
And come morning Rock of Ages why it would wake me gently once again
And then dad he'd reach up and he'd take the Bible down
And he'd read it read it loud
trying to do my bit
I ain't got the patience or the time to waste
Call me a rock star you can spit in my face
Gonna take a horse to drag me outta my bed
look up my number
Call me on the phone and say
Hey, boy, where you been so long
Don't you know me
I'm your ace in the hole
Two hundred dollars,
Catfish fried up, Dirty South fed
Sleep in a cot'-picking Dirty South bed
Dirty South girls gimme Dirty South head
Hand me down flip-flops, hand me down
unsatisfactory trial
They gave me ninety-nine years on the hard rock pile
Ninety and nine on the hard rock ground
And all I ever did was shoot a deputy down
