Spend my time and all my money on a knob for my brass bed
Climb to the top of the highest mountain just to see how far I get
Dancin' with my shadow and I let my shandow lead
If I die with a penny in my pocket then I guess thats all I need

Oooh baby where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would come along with you
I could walk on down the road till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day, cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh, ohh
Yeah
Ooh, ooh, baby, yeah

32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
I love her and she loves me to the pennies its all the same

Oooh, baby, where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would come along with you
I could walk on down the road till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day, cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh, ohh

my-my-my-my-my-my baby yeah

32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
But I love her and she loves me to the pennies it's all the same
Ooh, ooh
Yeah
Ooh ooh

Give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love
Ooh, ooh,
Whoa yeah!

. . .


Certain things ya do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light sihlouettes your thighs inside your dress
Wild child in the streets I think I've seen you but I really don't know
One million miles an hour headed out to where the down boys go

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

You comb your hair put on your shades you look real cool.
You're givin' me the runaround making me feel like a fool.
Got a lot of nerve to call me cheap even though it's true.
I don't care where go tonight take me along with you.

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

Certain things ya do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light sihlouettes your thighs inside your dress

Whoa, can we rewind to where we've been
Ooo i wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
I wanna go where the down boys go baby.

Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where the down boys go?
Where they go?

Street fighting is looking for trouble
If you open your mouth
You're bound to rumble
Johnny looks tough
He's froze in the eyes
He keeps his mouth shut
He don't tell no lies

Johnny went out last night
Got in a bar room fight
Embarrassed a jealous man
In front if his cheating wife
The man said "Tonight you won
But I'll tell you son,
This one's far from over"
Johnny said

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up
(We're backin' it up)

Now I don't know why
Some men lay down and die
Don't they believe in what they're saying
You should get on your feet
Believe you can't be beat
Remember talk is only playing

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up
(We're backin' it up)

I remember what my old man used to say
(We're backin' it up)
Never give up and run
(We're backin' it up)
Don't let the talkin' breeze blow you away
Always remember, stick to your guns

Big talk is looking for trouble
If you open your mouth
You better be ready to rumble

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up, I say

Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Big talk is cheap talk is
Only words unless you're backing it up
(We're backin' it up)

We all say
Big talk is just talk
Unless, unless you're backing it up
Oh we're backin' it up
We're backing it up, yeah

Mercy don't think she's pretty no more,
Starin' at the stars through her back screen door,
She tries and tries to make it all work out,
No matter what she does,
She's left standin' in the middle of doubt,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
You can count on me,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin' cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, I wonder why,

Mercy don't have a lover no more,
She plays with her pillow,
Stares at the bedroom floor,
Used to have a million,
They've come and gone,
No matter what she does,
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
You can count on me,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin' cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, yeah

Livin', lovin', give it everything you've got,
After all the heartache,
Maybe give love just one more shot yeah,

In a lonely night,
And in the pourin' rain,
The only thing I really wanna know is why,

Sometimes she cries,
When she's alone at night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries
Oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got my act down got it down tight
Got a feeling tonight'll be a good night
Gonna see a million girls
Gonna grab one pretty
Take her around the world

Come on and spread your wings
Come on and let me in
You know it really ain't dirty
And not a sin
To have to hold
Love to squeeze
Come on and be my baby
Get down on your knees
Oh yeah, pretty, Pretty please

Oh, I need your love
I need it bad
Oh, you're about the best thing
I've ever had
Woah oh oh oh
lets get down to the raw
So damn pretty, should be against the law

Well I was looking at you
From across the room
Hoping that you would see me to
After half an hour of nothing to do
My feet were getting cold inside my shoes
It came to me from outta the blue
Come on you gotta grab her
Take her in the bathroom
By the light of the moon
Comin' through the window
Woah, I need your love
I need it bad
Woah, You're about the best thing I ever had
Woah oh oh oh, yeah

I said hookers
And whores
And a teenage slut
On the bathroom floor
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Oh yeah

. . .


(Dirty rotten filthy stinking rich)
Italian cars as long as my street
I'm gonna wear exotic animals
On my feet
Pretty rocks on my fingers
Pretty bells on my toes
Lots of caviar for my mouth
Maybe I'll even pierce my nose

Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
(Hu Huu Ha Huu Ho Huu)

Sign it all in the palm of my hand
Nothing gonna get in the way
Do you understand
I got a house
I got a jet
I got a Rolls Royce painted blue
The only thing that's left is for me to own you too

Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich

I'm gonna have more money than you have ever seen
Baby I just want all the frills
I'm gonna insluate my body in green (me too)
I'm going to light my cigarettes with 100 dollar bills

Give me, give me just half a chance
To lead you in this corporate dance
Give me give me just half a chance
To take you on a hopeless romance
And I'll be dirty rotten fithy stinking rich

I told you what I want
I want bank accounts
And I want cd's
I want early term roll overs
I want everything!

. . .


I said, "Hey now baby
Ain't you the girl next door"
Reet petite you must not eat
Bet you know the score
Friday night don't sit at home
Lets track up the bend
Maybe if I'm lucky I'll steal a kiss
Maybe even hold your hand, yeah

Something about you sweetheart
Well I just can't explain
You're not like all those city girls
I don't think so anyway, hey
And I can't sleep a wink at night
Hoping dreams come true
You're gonna be a brand new kind of girl
When I get through with you

In the sticks is where I lay
Hey girl, I got love
In the sticks is what I play
Love enough for you

In the sticks
Well it's you and me baby
And I ain't no country hick
But me and the city, we just don't mix

Dancin' on a moonbeam
When I finally caught your name
Said, "You had to be goin' soon"
And I said that, "That's a shame"
Took you down to the willow pond
Where the cat tails grow real high
And in a few brief moments
We waved our childhood goodbye

Hey girl, I got love
Love enough for you, ohh
In the sticks, its you and me baby
You know ain't no country hick
Me and the city, we just don't mix
We just don't mix
Lets go

In the sticks
Ooh, well it's you and me baby
And I ain't no country hick
Me and the city, we just don't mix

Oh yeah
In the sticks
With just you and me baby
Yaa I ain't no country hick
But me and the city, we just don't mix
We just don't mix
We just don't mix

Oh oh oh

. . .


I've got a picture of your house
And you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded,
And it's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back.
The memories are gray but man they're really coming back.

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as i'm the hero of this little girl

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say

How I love the way you move
And the sparkle in your eyes
There's a color deep inside them
Like blue suburban skys
When i come home late at night
And you're in bed asleep
I wrap my arms around you
So I can feel you breathe

I dont need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday (Ah, ah)
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way, yeah

Now the lights are going out,
Along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you.

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it every day
ohhhh ohhh
No matter what your friends say
I know we're gonna find a way

(Heaven)

Whoah, oohh, ohhh
Whoah, oohh, ohhh

(Heaven)

It's not too far away

Whoah, oohh, ohhh

Yeah yeah yeah

. . .


I'm living just to live it up, whoa yeah

Since the day that I was born, I've been rockin' round my block
Just a leather coated lover with a tattoo on my heart, yeah

Now I'm going downtown feel I should strut my stuff, babe
Workin' on one track mind and baby that's not all
Now keep the motor running 'cuz I ain't got time to waste
I'm dressing for success, I guess I'm blessed with good taste

Ain't no dream you're seeing things you've never seen before, oh yeah
Well I'm breathing down your neck, knocking down your door, yeah

Living just to live it up, ridin' high, ridin' free
Gonna live it up before they bury me, grade yourselves 103
Gonna live it up, before they bury me, hope the bury me, yeah

Living just to live it up, ridin' high, ridin' free
Gonna live it up before they bury me, grade yourselves 103
Gonna live it up, before they bury me, yeah
Oh yeah

Gonna live up, gonna live it up
Gonna live up, living just to live it up

. . .


I've got alligator shoes
And I've beeb makin' news
I've got plenty of women
I've got plenty of booze
(Give me a shot)

Walked into the spot light
At the local bar and grill
Find a down and dirty woman
Well I'm gonna take my fill
Look right into her bloodshot eyes and
Scream my honey, I'm gonna make you mine

I paid the tab
I called a cab
Went back to my place
Had a hell of a time

I get excited
I feel loose
I move to quick and I get
Caught in your noose

(And I sweat)
Every time that we touch
(And I sweat)
I get the chills up and down my spine
(Cold sweat)
You bet, you bet
Its a midnight stage freight
Ice cold sweat

Ooh we went home
All alone
Then we turned down the lights
And unplugged the phone
Well I'm a snake
But I'm no liar
Makin' love to me is like
Pouring gasoline on a fire
I feel loose
I move to quick and I get caught in your noose

(And I sweat)
Every time that we touch
(And I sweat)
I get the chills up and down my spine
(Cold sweat)
You bet, you bet
Its a midnight stage freight
Ice cold

All I want is a little action
Ooh a little bit of satisfaction
You beat me down
Then kick me out
So scream and shout
And shout shout
Oh yeah

Then I sweat
(Sweat)
Then I sweat
(Sweat)
Then I sweat
(Sweat)
Then I sweat
Sweat
(Cold sweat)
(Cold sweat)
I get the feeling every time
We fu fu fu fu fu
(Cold sweat)
You bet you bet
(Cold sweat)

Ice cold
