Do you come from a land down under  
Where women glow and men plunder  
Can’t you hear, can’t you hear the thunder  
You better run, you better take cover

Every time I see you lookin’ my way  
Baby, baby, can’t you hear my heartbeat?  
In the car or walking down the highway  
Baby, baby, can’t you hear my heartbeat?

I can feel your heartbeat  
And you didn’t even say a word  
I can feel your heartbeat  
But you didn’t even say a word  
Oh, I know, pretty woman  
That your love can be heard

We get wild, wild, wild  
So cum on feel the noize  
Girls grab the boys  
We get wild, wild, wild  
At your door

Childhood living  
Is easy to do  
The things you wanted  
I bought them for you

Graceless lady  
You know who I am  
You know I can’t let you  
Slide through my hands

Wild horses  
Couldn’t drag me away  
Wild, wild horses  
Couldn’t drag me away

She comes down from Yellow Mountain  
On a dark, flat land she rides  
On a pony she named Wildfire  
With a whirlwind by her side  
On a cold Nebraska night

Got no time for explanations  
Got no time to lose  
Tomorrow night you’ll find me sleepin’  
Underneath the moon  
At Yellow River

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry  
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky  
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River  
Then I’m gonna sit right here until I die

We found him with his face down in the pillow  
With a note that said, “I’ll love her 'til I die”  
And when we buried him beneath the willow  
The Angels sang a whiskey lullaby

He drinks a Whiskey drink, he drinks a Vodka drink  
He drinks a Lager drink, he drinks a Cider drink  
He sings the songs that remind him of the good times

There stands the glass that will ease all my pain  
That will settle my brain, it’s my first one today  
There stands the glass that will hide all my fears  
That will drown all my tears, brother, I’m on my way

I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis  
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride  
She had to heave me right across her shoulder  
'Cause I just can’t seem to drink you off my mind

We keep this love in a photograph  
We made these memories for ourselves  
Where our eyes are never closing  
Hearts are never broken  
And time’s forever frozen, still

So you can keep me  
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Mem’ries,  
Light the corners of my mind  
Misty water-colored memories  
Of the way we were  
Scattered pictures,  
Of the smiles we left behind  
Smiles we gave to one another  
For the way we were

On a morning from a Bogart movie  
In a country where they turn back time  
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre  
Contemplating a crime  
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running  
Like a watercolor in the rain  
Don’t bother asking for explanations  
She’ll just tell you that she came  
In the Year of the Cat

When I grow up I want to be Peter Lorre  
I want to snivel and sneer in a nasal whine  
I want to cringe and curse  
And maybe threaten worse  
And if that doesn’t work, I’ve got a laugh  
That will petrify your spine!

Move your body like your hip

And when the samba played  
The sun would set so high  
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes  
Your Spanish lullaby
