Stevie Ray Vaughan Album

Well - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother come on in

Kick off your shoes start losin' the blues
This old house ain't got nothin' to lose
Seen it all for years start spreadin' the news
We got room on the floor come on baby shake sumpin' loose

Well - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother come on in

Well - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother come on in

Walkin' up the street you can hear the sound
Of some bad honky tonkers really layin' it down
They've seen it all for years and got nothin' to lose
So get down on the floor shimmy 'til you shake sumpin' loose

Well - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother knockin'
Yeah - The house is a rockin' don't bother come on in
I said the house is a rockin' don't bother come on in

Day by day, night after night,
Blinded by the neon lights.
Hurry here, hustlin' there,
No one's got the time to spare.
Money's tight, nothin' free,
Won't somebody come and rescue me?
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire.

Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye.
Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy.
Beggin' a dollar, stealin' a dime,
Come on can't you see that I
I am stranded ,caught in the crossfire
I am stranded, caught in the crossfire.

I need some kind of kindness, some kind of sympathy oh, no
We're stranded, caught in the crossfire

Save the strong lose the weak,
Never turning the other cheek.
Trust nobody don't be no fool,
Whatever happened to the golden rule?
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
We got stranded, caught in the crossfire
Stranded, caught in the crossfire
Help me.

Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath.
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat.
Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race.
Feels like I'm losing time, at a breakneck pace.

Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace.
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face.
There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge.
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end.

Walkin' the tight rope, steppin on my friends
Walkin' the tight rope, was a shame and a sin.
Walkin' the tight rope, between wrong and right.
Walkin' the tight rope, both day and night.

Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin.
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend
We've had all our problems, that's the way life is.
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends.

We have been walkin' the tightrope Trying to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around.
Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found.
Walkin' the tightrope streched around the world.
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls.
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right.
Walkin' the tightrope do it, do it tonight.
Walkin the tightrope

Oowee baby, I declare you sure look fine
Oowee baby, I declare you sure look fine
A girl like you has made many a man change his mind

Baby, when you walk, you know you shake like a willow tree
Baby, when you walk, you know you shake like a willow tree
A girl like you would just love to make fool of me

Let me love you baby, let me love you baby
Let me love you little darlin', let me love you baby
Let me love you darlin' till your good love drives me crazy

Let me love you baby, let me love you baby
Let me love you little darlin', let me love you baby
Let me love you darlin' till your good love drives me crazy

You better leave, you better leave my little girl alone
You better leave, you better leave my little girl alone
Lord, before I get evil, man, and go and do something wrong

You called my house just yesterday
I picked up the extension, and I heard every word you said
Why don't you just go on, man, and leave my little girl alone
Lord, before I get evil, man, and go and do something wrong

You call my house all hours of the night
Let me tell you mister, that's a sure way to start a fight
Why don't you just go on, man, and leave my little girl alone
Lord, before I get evil, man, and go and do something wrong

[No lyrics]

A wall of denial is falling down
Whoa it's fallin' so hard, down to the ground
Never knew something so strong could be washed away by tears
But this wall of denial was just built on fear

We've all had our demons from the garden of white lies
Dressed them, amused them, pulling' wool over our eyes
Go so far as to love them to keep from letting them go
All the while they we're killin' us, but we couldn't let it show

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
We're never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumbling down
Down to the ground

Simple things in life bring the greatest pleasure
A smile, a kiss, a little baby's laughter
It makes no difference if we run away in fear
The little things in life hold us so near

No matter what the trouble we carry round inside
Never safe from the truth but in the truth we can survive
When this wall of denial comes tumblin' down
Yeah this wall of denial must tumble down
Down to the ground

They were two lonely folks doin' the do's and don'ts
And got the notion together they'd be happy
Thought they'd lose the crowd and do the mess around
Decided to make it snappy
Just a twist of fate they didn't hesitate
Now they had another party to lean on
She made him jump and sang, he made her share that thing
Looks like they gonna have a ball
Ain't nothin' wrong at all
Whoa, they gonna have a ball

They got to asking what if they had to scratch-n-sniff
To find out what it is they are after
Got the ants out their pants and took the chance on romance
Made some plans to make it forever
Now several years have gone, they're still gettin' along
They know what true love is made of
Now they know that life's a trip, with all it's bumps and dips
They're gonna help one another along
Nothin' wrong at all
Still havin' a ball
Lord they're really gettin' it on

Time is on their side, they've got nothing to hide
Never had no secrets between them
He don't need to accuse her, use her or abuse her
And she feels the same for him
And those vows they made said nothing about slaves
And didn't mention rentining to own
They can take the stand that walking hand in hand
What they got is gooder than gold
Ain't nothin' wrong at all
Whoa they gonna have a ball
Yeah, they really got it all

Love is true heart's desire without it's just a funeral pyre
Got to let your true love grow, it's all you got that's gooder than gold
Let's get it on ya'll

Well now tell me darlin', may I have a talk with you
Whoa, tell me darlin', may I have a talk with you
Because it won't be long before our true love will be through

Whoa, tell me darlin', am I right or am I wrong
I said tell me darlin', am I right or am I wrong
I'm determined to know little girl, you comin' home
Come on home baby

Now now listen to me baby, while I hold your hand
Don't want anything from you but be your lovin' man
Now tell me darlin', may I have a talk with you
Because the words I have to tell you they will linger through the years
I love you honey

Well it's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
Well it's floodin' down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down
And I've been tryin' to call my baby
Lord and I can't get a single sound

Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Well dark clouds are rollin' in
Man I'm standin' out in the rain
Yeah flood water keep a rollin'
Man it's about to drive poor me insane

Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well I'm leavin' you baby
Lord and I'm goin' back home to stay
Well back home I know floods and tornados
Baby the sun shines every day

Ooh, ooh now baby, tell me how have you been
We all have missed you, and the way you grin
The day is necessary, every now and then
For souls to move on, givin' life back again and again
Fly on, fly on, fly on my friend
Go on, live again, love again

Day after day, night after night
Sittin' here, singin' every minute, as the years go passing by, by, by, by
Long look in the mirror, we've come face to face
Wishing all the love we took for granted, love we have today

Life without you, all the love you passed my way
The angels have waited for you so long, now they have their way
Take your place
