Tim Armstrong Album

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.

Just like the Mississippi
Our journey starts in Minnesota
Take I-35 to 90
Soon, through South Dakota

Big "Hi," to that country road.
Are we gonna make it on down?
She said, "Yeah, Tim.
Aw, Good to see ya.
Hope you all stick around."

The futures not the hardest to see.
Do what you do girl,
but please don't leave.

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.

Get down when I wanna, man.
Get through the darkest night.
We were born to ride, now baby,
ride until the morning light

Took a trip down to Kansas,
Missouri, then Arkansas.
Stayed with her sister,
that girl's above the law.

The futures not the hardest to see.
Do what you do girl,
but please don't leave.

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.

It's a mad house, baby.
Fast women, cocaine, and booze.
Toughest of the roughest, (right)
I got nothing to loose.

Before I met ya,
everything was going wrong.
It been a long journey, now
girl I wanna take you home.

The futures not the hardest to see.
Do what you do girl,
but please don't leave.

I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can.
And if you choose to leave me, girl, I'll understand
I'm gonna hold on to you as long as I can

(Are you ready for this?)

Yeah

[Chorus:]
Wake up
You son of a bitch
I wanna know who your with and
Why do you roll in and out
At like six in the morning?

I say
Wake up
My love of mine
Why do u spend your time
With these guys who don't love you
The way that I do

This time things gonna be changin'
Start a new
Rearranging
I got a new
Girl i'm seein'
Just like the last one, jus' like the first one.

Live for today
Not tomorrow
Keep movin' away from sorrow
Ain't one to beg or borrow

So listen to me

[Chorus]

Phone call
No mistakin'
She starts
Her head shakin'
Eyes open
Now i'm awake and
I'm gonna take it day by day now

Gettin' high
Good times rollin'
On the side
Cities showin'
Off somewhere new
To be goin'

So keep movin'

[Chorus x2]

(feat. Skye Sweetnam)

Let's get moving into action
Let's get moving into action
If you last too slow, no satisfaction
There's something out there, that's the attraction
If you hesitate now, that's a subtraction
So, let's get moving girl into action

We took the 43 bus, we got no plans
The girl in the miniskirt, her name's Suzanne
The one with the .... .... boots is Charonne
And Carol is the one with the blown ...
And if you... man
We got the number one
And we don't need any money to have any fun

Let's get moving into action
Let's get moving into action
If you last too slow, no satisfaction
There's something out there, that's the attraction
If you hesitate now, that's a subtraction
So, let's get moving girl into action

We took a transbay on the Richmond line

Go on..

[No lyrics]

Going out with all my boys
Hit the city all night long
Oh Lars and Will (??)
Down at the mill
And little Larry gonna tag along
Rollin' deep, coming up
Not asleep, waking up
Got a light? smoke it up
Zig Zag, Roll it up

You are a memory 'cause
She is the future
Hold on tight
I'll be the teacher

Take this city
Take this city by storm

Here we go again
Here we go tonight
Gotta keep it going, gonna make it alright
Life is so short so ya gotta keep it tight
Gotta keep moving till day and night (??)

So many people, I'll never know
I'll never get to see where they're from
So what's your name?
Say it again
I wanna hear it again and again, again, again, again

Take this city
Take this city blast'em

Na na na na na na naaaaaa
Na na na na na na naaaaaa
Na na na na na na naaaaaa
Na na na na na na naaaaaa

Take this city
Take this city blast'em

Big city life, well here's my day
There's a crack in the picture, when it going break? (??)
It's a catch 22, catcher in the rye
Busted and shot down now you gonna die
Listen to the sounds of the reggae and soul
Buy me a cab and here we go
All over town, gonna rock and roll
It's all I ever done girl, all I ever known

Yeah!
Just give us one moment, watch this...

Shut down, boom town, lowdown downtown
Streets go prepare for war
When the law come over, man they run for cover
Opportunity shut the door
When the guns are blazing in the streets of Mogadishu
Baghdad back to Bahru
And I wear my opinion on a dusted white suit
Every time I hear the firearms shoot

No control, street curfew now in play
Violence sustained
Civil liberty's now destroyed
Cursed intimidation brought on by force
Re-generated crime wave
Setting things off course
These days are insane, atrocity's rised
Oppressing systems through the fields now divide
Masses of mankind spewed in God's speech
Can you see in all of this, all the endless deceit?

Shut down, boom town, lowdown downtown
Streets go prepare for war
When the law come over, man they run for cover
Opportunity shut the door
When the guns are blazing in the streets of Mogadishu
Baghdad back to Bahru
And I wear my opinion on a dusted white suit
Every time I hear the firearms shoot

Street signs in (???) taught me about our past
Hi-tech repro systems, annihilates so fast
Fury and anger tried to seminate
This eradicative warfare escalates
(???)
Defenses started, no co-opability
High calculated, deadlier restrains
Raining down upon helpless human beings

Inner city violence
Inner city [repeated]
