Then I went far away, and you found someone new.
I read your letter, dear, and I wrote back to you:
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
Good luck. May God bless you.
No we don’t fit in with that white collar crowd -
We’re a little too rowdy and a little too loud.
There’s no place that I’d rather be than right here
With my rednecks, white socks, and blue ribbon beer
Are you high tonight? Are you feeling right?
Cos I need you now like I never did before
Is it hard enough? Is it loud enough?
Cos if you don’t approve, you can use the door
Armed and ready
I gotta gun sight trained on you
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.
They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but they ain’t caught 'em yet.
'Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire. As they ride on hear their cry.
Rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin’ my gal was by my side
All the things I’m missin’
Good vittles, love and kissin’
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Move ‘em on
(Head em’ up!)
Rawhide!
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Give to me your leather
Take from me
My lace
Wanting… the saddest kind of pain
Waiting… to be disciplined
Aching… for your nails across my skin
Waiting… for the day when I will crawl away
I’ve been waiting for a girl like you
to come into my life
I’ll say anything you want to hear
I’ll see everything through
I’ll do anything I have to do
Just to win the love of a girl like you, a girl like you
It’s the song of a merry man moping mum
Whose soul was sad and his glance was glum,
Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb
As he sighed for the love of a lady.
Lay lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway
The Love Shack is a little old place where
We can get together
You can understand why I’ve got to get back
To that sugar shack, whoa baby
To that sugar shack, yeah honey
To that sugar shack, whoa yes
To that sugar shack.
Take me back, back to the shack
Back to the strat with the lightning strap
Kick in the door, more hardcore
Rockin out like it’s '94
I know how you want it child, hot quick and tight
The girls can’t stand it when you’re doin’ it right
Let me up on the stand and let me kick out the jam
Yes, kick out the jams
I want to kick 'em out
Take it easy (take it easy)
Better slow down girl
That’s no way to go
Does your mother know?
Take it easy (take it easy)
Try to cool it girl
Take it nice and slow
Does your mother know?
Mother I need her
I’m falling apart
Mother I need her
And it’s only the start
Can’t you see, whoa, can’t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin’ to me
Can’t you see, can’t you see
What that woman, she been doin’ to m
