Sweat
it Out
(Joe Grushecky)
Birds of prey - snakes in the grass
If you
drive your car you gotta buy my gas
Honest men are hard to find
You get
yours - I'll take mine
Down in the jungle there's a party going on
I feel
like Mighty Joe Young I feel like Old King Kong
I just keep rocking on (rocking
on)
I don't care what those other (damn) fools do
I just want to make love
to you
Sweat it out, sweat it out
A million voices crying to be heard
Great
balls of fire baby shaking up this world
Times are changing that's for certain
We
got them rocking behind your iron curtain
The VIP's still get it all wrong
Tired
of hearing that same old song
I just keep rocking on (rocking on)
I don't
care what those other (damn) fools do
I just want to make love to you sweat
it out
Come on baby sweat it out (sweat it out)
I'm gonna show you what
it's all about (sweat it out)
I'm gonna make you scream and shout (sweat it
out)
Come on baby let's sweat it out
I'm tired of PCS, CDS, telephones and
replays, TV talk shows, little minds and low blows
Forget all about it baby
in between the sheets
My temperature is rising honey can you feel the heat
You're
the fuel in my fire
You're the one who makes me squeal my tire
I'm the king
of the alley I'm the beast of the east
Set the table honey let's feast
Down
in the jungle there's a party going on
I feel like Mighty Joe Young I feel
like Old King Kong
I just keep rocking on (rocking on)
Shut the door leave
the world outside
I got a thing in my pocket make it come alive
I don't
care what those damn fools do
I just want to make love to you
Sweat it out
- come on baby and sweat it out
I'm gonna show you what it's all about (sweat
it out)
I'm going to make you scream and shout (sweat it out)
Come on baby
and sweat it out (sweat it out)
Come on now honey
Swimming
with the Sharks
(Grushecky, Nardini, Pelesky, Simmons, Toms)
Well I
spent some time in the big city just got back today
Got home all dirty and
filthy
Felt like I really earned my pay
Cause baby when you're in a big
city
You better cover your back
The sharks smell an easy kill they'll circle
to attack
You're not the same (you're not the same)
When you been out there
- swimming with the sharks
You're not the same (you're not the same)
When
you been out there - swimming with the sharks
Now baby when you're pounding
the pavement
You feel the concrete and the heat
The shark will try to blow
you away
You're just another piece of meat
Hey man can I get you a woman
Hey
man you want to cop some blow (need a place to go)
When I get home - walk through
that door
There's one thing you've got to know
(repeat chorus)
- with
the sharks
Well the shark is a vicious killer
It don't matter where you
come from
Gonna chew you up - spit you out before the night is done
You
can see him on every street corner
Waiting to make his mark hair slicked back
Gold around his neck eyes glowing in the dark
Now baby when you're in a
big city
You better cover your back
Hang tough - walk tall - you gotta fight
off shark attacks
You're not the same (you're not the same)
When you been
out there - swimming with the sharks
You're not the same (you're not the same)
When
you been out there - swimming with the sharks
better watch they don't bite
you girl
When
the Crows Go Crazy
(Grushecky, M. Sweeney)
I was walking thru the fields
with my daddy
He was talking about his land
You could feel the size of his
heart
Every time you shook his hand
He'd roll the dirt in his fingers
And
he said "son, just taste the air"
You know when those crows go crazy
It's
raining somewhere
When the crows go crazy you can feel it in the air
When
the crows go crazy it's raining somewhere
Like an acorn that has fallen too
far from the tree
I left home the day my daddy died back in '83
Oh why must
I wander so very far from home
I feel like those crazy birds when I hear my
black heart moan
When the crows go crazy you can feel it in the air
When
the crows go crazy it's raining somewhere
Living on the outskirts
Not far
from the old man I admired
Another day is dawning and my body is oh so tired
The
harvest moon is still shining
As I drag myself from bed
With a cup of country
comfort
I remember what my daddy said
When the crows go crazy
You know
there's something in the air
When the crows go crazy it's raining somewhere
When
the crows go crazy there's something in the air
When the crows go crazy it's
raining somewhere
it's raining somewhere it's raining somewhere
Let it
rain on me let it rain on me let it rain on me
Let it rain, let it rain, let
it rain, let it rain
On me
I
Can't Control Myself
(Grushecky)
You got the moves
Just like a rattlesnake
Down in the groove
It's too much for me to take
You got my number
You
know just where I live
I hear the thunder
I've got no more to give
Tell
me what you expect me to do
Because I can't control myself
When it comes
to you
(I can't control myself)
Do you remember?
When we used to dance
You
wore your leather
And your skin tight pants - no competition
You blew them
all away in my condition
I want to take you all the way
Tell me what you
expect me to do
Because I can't control myself
When it comes to you
Just
can't control myself
Just can't control myself
Do you remember?
When
we used to dance
You wore your leather
And your skin tight pants - no competition
You
blew them all away in my condition
I want to take you all the way
Tell me
what you expect me to do
Because I can't control myself
When it comes to
you
I can't control myself when it comes to you
I can't control myself when
it comes to you
I can't control myself when it comes to you,
Baby (I can't
control myself)
Killer
on the Loose
(Grushecky)
We have met the enemy and they are us
When
we all think alike we don't think much
The kids out on the corner searching
for a rush
A whole generation went down in just a flush
There's a killer
on the loose
There's a killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose
A
mother hits the streets deserts her only child
She needs a connection as she
goes on the prowl
The demons of destruction they're out running wild
The
ground began to shake hounds begin to howl
There's a killer on the loose
There's
a killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose
There's a killer on
the loose in the deep heart of the night
Do we turn the other cheek or do we
stand and fight
How can we save the children how can we set them free
I
don't want to hear them cry for all eternity
In a foreign land where the palm
trees grow so tall
A dirty little dictator just took a mighty fall
Said
"hey there yankee, can you come out and play
I want to make a deal with
the CIA"
We give them money and guns he sells us cocaine and crack
We
gave them the power and then we took it back
There's a killer on the loose
there's a killer on the loose
There's a killer on the loose in South Africa
There's
a killer on the loose in Columbia
There's a killer on the loose in Cambodia
There's
a killer on the loose in Beirut
There's a killer on the loose in Tehran
There's
a killer on the loose in El Salvador
There's a killer on the loose in the U.S.S.R.
There's
a killer on the loose in Washington, DC
There's a killer on the loose in Washington,
DC
Howling
at the Moon
(Grushecky)
Look out yonder see a bad moon rising
Just
a case of false advertising
I don't believe a word they say
Jump in my car
I'm going to drive away
Going out tonight I'm gonna have some fun
Live my
life until it's done
Howling at the moon
When or where did we go wrong?
Howling
at the moon
How much longer can this go on?
People getting hurt - people
getting mad
Sometimes I feel like we've all been had
Follow the leader down
a dead end street
I play my guitar so I don't have to think
I see the end
is coming soon
Wind down your window - howl at the moon
Howling at the
moon
How much longer can this go on?
Howling at the moon
When or where
did we go wrong?
People getting hurt - people getting mad
Sometimes I feel
like we've all been had
Follow the leader down a dead end street
I play
my guitar so I don't have to think
I see the end is coming soon
Wind down
your window - howl at the moon
Howling at the moon
How much longer can this
go on?
Howling at the moon
When or where did we go wrong?
Howling (howling)
Howling
(howling)
Howling (howling)
Howling...
Born
to Love You
(Grushecky, B. Corbin)
Come sit beside me baby let's kick
off our shoes
Turn up the stereo and play some rhythm and blues
And I'm
so very glad to see you
Baby it's been one of those days
The lights are
low and we're all alone
Ain't gonna let you slip away
I'm gonna wrap my
arms around you
Take you way down low
You can be my little Juliet and I
will be your Romeo
I was born to love you baby hold on tight
I was born
to love you, tonight
Baby you know it's a hard world
They're gonna get you
wrong or right
I get so tired of the hustle
I get so tired of the fight
And
you're my sanctuary
You're my shelter from this storm
Let's hold on to
each other
And make love all night long
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you
Take you way down low
You can be my little Juliet and I will be your Romeo
I
was born to love you baby hold on tight
I was born to love you, tonight
Pretty
little angel who whispers in my ear
Let's love away our worries
Love away
our fears
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you
Take you way down low
You
can be my little Juliet and I will be your Romeo
I was born to love you baby
hold on tight
I was born to love you, tonight
Oh
Estelle
(Grushecky, B. Corbin)
We were living down on Federal Street
On
the poor side of town
I was working down at the service station
Well Estelle
she just lounged around
She said Mr. Smith who owned a jewelry store
Had
been giving her the eye
She was getting so tired of waiting
Watching the
world go by
She climbed into bed that night
Well then she'd give me a kiss
She
said "honey, I can't go on living like this, well like this
Well let me
tell you Estelle oh Estelle
It's so lonely down here in this cell
You're
the one who put the gun in my hand
You're the one who said be a man
You
pushed me right down the wishing well
Oh Estelle
Well Estelle was the kind
of girl who wanted everything
Champagne, chauffeurs (cocaine), caviar
She
wanted diamond rings
Mr. Smith said he'd make it worth her while
If she'd
stop by late
He'd leave the back door open - the lock off the gate
She climbed
into bed that night and she'd give me a kiss
She said "now honey, I got
a plan for us and it just can't miss - it can't miss
Well let me tell you Estelle
- oh Estelle
It's so lonely down here in this cell
You're the one who put
the gun in my hand
You're the one who said be a man
You pushed me right
down the wishing well
Oh Estelle
Well I did what she wanted
She was
supposed to be waiting with a getaway car
She never showed up but the cops
did
I didn't get too far
As they handcuffed me I saw her in the crowd
She
blew me a kiss
She was on Mr. Smith's arm
It never thought that we'd end
up like this
Well like this
Well let me tell you Estelle - oh Estelle
It's
so lonely down here in this cell
You're the one who put the gun in my hand
You're
the one who said be a man
You pushed me right down the wishing well
You
pushed me right down the wishing well
You pushed me right down the wishing
well
Oh Estelle
Oh Estelle...
I
Won't Apologize
(Grushecky, Nardini, Toms)
Well I went to see my brother
down in the penitentiary
He said you better listen to your mother
And don't
end up like me
I spent half my lifetime behind these four gray walls
I tried
to climb too high -I took a mighty fall
So listen now the day grows nearer
I won't tell you no lies
They'll soon come to get me to walk that last mile
But
I still won't apologize I won't apologize (apologize) won't apologize (apologize)
won't apologize (apologize)
I won't apologize (apologize)
I always wanted
easy money
I was always trying to make a score
I was always trying to get
over
I always wanted more and more
Then one day on the streets of Chicago
I
shot a man and I watched him die
I didn't do it for love nor money
Mama
always told you a great big lie
So listen now the day grows nearer
I won't
tell you no lies
They'll soon come to get me to walk that last mile
But
I still won't apologize
I won't apologize (apologize)
Won't apologize (apologize)
won't apologize (apologize)
I won't apologize (apologize)
I couldn't stop
myself from crying
As we said our last good-byes
He said, "sonny that
dog had it coming" so I won't apologize
I never worked an honest day and
this is all I have to show
So brother man well you take it easy
Give mama
a kiss - now you better go
So listen now the day grows nearer I won't tell
you no lies
They'll soon come to get me to walk that last mile
I still won't
apologize
Sad
Sad Story
(Grushecky, Nardini, Pelesky, Simmons, Toms)
I met her down
at Frankie's my world was caving in
I took her back to my place for just one
night of sin
As we started talking then we took a rest
Said now honey I
can save you - I said be my guest
It's a sad, sad story with a bad, bad end
I
still write her letters that I never send
We got down and dirty well I swear
it's true
It's a sad, sad story but it's finally through
I didn't work the
next day I told the boss I was sick
I thought I was in heaven she knew a million
tricks
As we lay there tingling - high on adrenaline
I finally popped the
question and she moved right in
It's a sad, sad story with a bad, bad end
I
still write her letters that I never send
We got down and dirty well I swear
it's true
It's a sad, sad story but it's finally through
Sad, sad story
sad, sad story
Sad, sad story sad, sad story
Spent all my money - I bought
her a car
And a shiny diamond ring
When I come home from work the other
day
She was gone - man she took everything
Staring at these bare walls a
lesson to be learned
I played with fire - I got burned
That girl she hit
and run me and left my life a wreck
Next time I fall in love I'll do a credit
check
It's a sad, sad story with a bad, bad end
I still write her letters
that I never send
We got down and dirty well I swear it's true
It's a sad,
sad, story but it's finally through
Sad, sad story sad, sad story — get
it on
It's
the Same Thing
(Willie Dixon)
What makes the men go crazy
When their
women wear their dress so tight?
What makes the men go crazy
When their
women wear their dress so tight?
It's the same thing make the tomcat fight
at night
What makes me feel so good
When my baby wears an evening gown?
What
makes me feel so good
When my baby wears an evening gown?
It's the same
old thing
Made the preacher lay his bible down
Now it's the same thing it's
the same thing
Tell me who is to blame
Whole world's fighting about that
same thing
What makes me feel so good
When my baby wears an evening gown?
What
makes me feel so good
When my baby wears an evening gown?
It's the same
old thing
Made the preacher lay his bible down
Well it's the same thing
it's the - same thing
Tell me who is to blame
Whole world's been fighting
about that same thing
Well it's the same thing
Baby it's the same thing
Tell
me who's to blame
Whole world's fighting about that
Same old thing
Oh
yeah!

Firewater
Chuckie was a down home country boy
Who
thought he had the perfect plan
He's gonna make some easy money
Without
getting dirt on his hands
He's gonna run white lightning
From a still in
the hill
Down to Charleston
Tonight he wants me to come along
Just to
ride shotgun
Running firewater
Running firewater
Drinking firewater
Running
against the law
He said there's no risk
Everybody's paid off
Said I give
you my word
You know their ain't a cop around
Who could outrun my old V8
Ford
I said it sounds like fun
And I wish you luck
I could really stand
the cash
This time you can count me out
No thanks - I'll pass
Running
firewater
Running firewater
Drinking firewater
Running against the law
(oh rock-n-roll)
The cops caught him coming home
Right across the state
line
They chased him down those windy roads
Doing 95
Well Chuckie was
starting to pull away
But the road was slick with rain
He lost control and
went over the hill
His car went up in flames
Because of firewater
Running
firewater
Drinking firewater
Running against the law
Firewater
Firewater
Firewater

against the law (law-10 times) |
