Tonight I’ll sing my songs again I’ll play the game and pretend But all my words come back to me In shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Silently for me Silently for me ---

In violent times You shouldn’t have to sell your soul In black and white They really really ought to know Those one track minds That took you for a working boy Kiss them goodbye You shouldn’t have to jump for joy You shouldn’t have to shout for joy Shout Shout Let it all out These are the things I can do without Come on I’m talking to you Come on And when you’ve taken down your guard If I could change your mind I’d really love to break your heart I’d really love to break your heart ---

Well, it’s a Sammy Hagar weekend It’s a Sammy Hagar state of mind It’s a Sammy Hagar weekend It’s a Sammy Hagar way of life We’re gonna drink some beer, smoke some pot, snort some coke And then drive … drive over 55.

Wind In my hair Shifting and drifting Mechanical music Adrenaline surge… Well-weathered leather Hot metal and oil The scented country air Sunlight on chrome The blur of the landscape Every nerve aware Suddenly ahead of me Across the mountainside A gleaming alloy air car Shoots towards me, two lanes wide I spin around with shrieking tires To run the deadly race Go screaming through the valley As another joins the chase Drive like the wind Straining the limits of machine and man Laughing out loud with fear and hope I’ve got a desperate plan At the one-lane bridge I leave the giants stranded at the riverside Race back to the farm To dream with my uncle at the fireside ---

Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum The mate was fixed by the bosun’s pike The bosun brained with a marlinspike And cookey’s throat was marked belike It had been gripped by fingers ten And there they lay, all good dead men Like break o’day in a boozing ken Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum ---

Shiver my timbers, shiver my soul Yo ho, heave ho There are men whose hearts as as black as coal Yo ho, heave ho And they sailed their ship cross the ocean blue A blood-thirsty captain and a cutthroat crew It’s as dark a tale as was ever told Of the lust for treasure and the love of gold Shiver my timbers, shiver my sides Yo ho heave ho There are hungers as strong as the wind and tides Yo ho heave ho And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum The devil himself would have to call them scum Every man aboard would have killed his mate. For a bag of guineas or a piece of eight! A piece of eight! A piece of eight! ---
