Kansas City


(Oh, let's go to Kansas City, now.)

I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come.
I'm going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come.
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.

I'm gonna be standing on the corner, Twelfth Street and Vine.
I'm gonna be standing on the corner, Twelfth Street and Vine;
With my Kansas City baby and my bottle
Of Kansas City wine.

Well, I might take a train, might take a plane,
But if I have to walk,
I'm gonna fly there just the same.
Yeaaaah, Kansas City here I come.
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.

Well, if I don't leave that woman I know I'm gonna die.
Got to find a brand new baby and here's the reason why:
Ya, ya, ya-eeeee eee, Kansas City here I come.
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.
Ah - right.
--------------
Might take a train, might take a plane,
But if I have to walk,
I'm gonna fly there just the same.
Yeaaaah, Kansas City here I come.
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.
(One more time)

If I don't leave that woman, know I'm gonna die.
Got to find a brand new baby and that's the reason why:
Ya, ya ya-eeeee eee, Kansas City here I come.
They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.
Yeah, yeah,
they got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.
(One more time)

They got some crazy little women there
And I'm gonna get me one.

IF I HAD A HAMMER


If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters ah-aaah
All over this land

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between
My brothers and my sisters ah-aaah
All over this land.

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between
My brothers and my sisters ah-aaah
All over this land.

I got a hammer
And I got a bell
I got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
All over this land
All over this land
All over this land
All over this land

For DM...hang in there sweetheart

Des'ree - You Gotta Be

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead, release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

You've got to be
You've got to be bad, you got to be bold
You've got to be wiser
You've got to be hard, you got to be tough
You've got to be stronger
You've got to be cool, you got to be calm
You've gotta stay together
Oh I know, oh I know love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try and solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some they have more cash than you
Others take a different view
Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning, can't stop it if you try to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

Remember, listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead, release your fears

You've got to be
You've got to be bad, you got to be bold
You've got to be wiser
You've got to be hard, you got to be tough
You've got to be stronger
You've got to be cool, you got to be calm
You've gotta stay together
Oh I know, oh I know love will save the day

Got to be bold, got to be bad, got to be wise, going out of sight
Got to be hard, but not too too hard
All I know is, love will save the day

The Great Goodnight--Magellan 34:24

I was only four
I don't remember you
I have seen your pictures my whole life
brother...in this great goodnight

A black frame still protects
those two letters from the President
They start out:
'On this day in May 1966
for wounds received in action'
still hanging here after all of this time
right next to your purple heart
in this great goodnight

I do have this hazy memory
I think you had me up on your shoulders
playing on top of the world for a moment
that couldn't last (it never does)
I have this black & white of you
playing harmonica like a giant at our old house
sitting on that green sofa
you were only 19 but to this kid
you were probably more like 43

I read an old clipping from the paper
it said they prayed for you at the church
now I know everyone in the photograph
long before the memorial rose
looking so much different than today
I haven't touched that stone of names
but I have a tracing of yours

but for some unknown reason
we never discussed it much growing up
I pieced together the whole story
out of that old trunk left in the attic

you'd been gone only 6 weeks
when the Army brass came to the door knocking
breaking the news--breaking our hearts
they broke the news to mom
she took it worse than anyone
she really believed--'he didn't have to go
the draft missed him by a mile'
you could've walked away
but instead you had your final day in Vietnam

when they broke the news to mom
all I can say...she took it worse than anyone
she really believed he would make it back home
'he didn't have to go to Vietnam'

here is what they said--
the claymore went off and you went down
& you would've been ok
& you would've been all right
but they couldn't get to you
the VC were everywhere
so the orders came...

'We can't pull Jack out
for him it's getting late
but a hundred men won't see tomorrow
if we don't quietly wait.
we can't pull Jack out...'

you knew exactly what was happening
why nobody came
you were a good soldier keeping still
holding out as long as you did
on this day in May 1966
within an hour you relaxed
somehow everything seemed ok
'cause in your soul you knew
your time in 'Nam had passed away--my brother

with your shirt red with blood
& your forehead cool
you thanked the Lord for this great goodnight
in this moment of acceptance this great goodnight
brought you a peace you'd never known
in this great goodnight, the war raging on
in this great goodnight--my brother...

but brother let me tell you--it's what I know
so maybe one day we can fill in the blanks
until we meet again--brother
I'll choose this memory
we'll keep remembering what you did
in that great goodnight

you couldn't hear the medic yelling in your ear
while you dreamed of this kid back at home
saying 'pick me up so we can play'
brother let me tell you--I remember
& I think you made it in that great goodnight
in fact, it's the only thing I remember
from that great goodnight

well brother, let me tell you--it's what I know
maybe one day we will stand together
until we meet again, I'll choose this memory
& thank you guys for what you did
& what you tried to do in this great goodnight

on this day in May 1966
for wounds received in action...
& now I see you my brother
this is for you
& someday you will see
that this song was for you, my brother

now that dad has joined you
I'm sure that he would agree
got a son on my shoulder
& lots of work to do, brother
...like was done with me













just got this today, found it very appropriate to today

Bad Habit by Offspring

Hey man ya know I'm really ok .
The gun in my hand will tell you the same .
But when i'm in my car, don't give me no crap,
'Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap .

When I go driving I stay in my lane .
But getting cut off- it makes me insane .

Open up the glove box,
Reach inside,
I'm gonna wreck this fvckers ride,
'Cause I got a bad habit .
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

Well they say the road's a dangerous place .
If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
You drive on my a$$,
Your foot's on the gas,
And your next breath is your last-

'Cause I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

Drivers are rude,
Such attitudes,
But when i show my piece-,
Complaints cease, Something's odd,
I feel like I'm God,
You stupid dumb-shlt god-dam motherfvcker

Open up the glove box,
Reach inside,
I'm gonna wreck this fvckers ride,
'Cause I got a bad habit,
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,

And it 'aint goin' away,

Sketches of Pain by Tears for Fears

Daylight Saved
Daylight Saved
To spite the dark
In spite of the darkness
There I'll crave
There I'll crave
To get to the heart
In spite of the darkness

Great wide stretches of canvas
Signed by a godless name
Strange bright colours of madness
Only a fool would frame
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain

Some cry shame
Some cry shame
We tore them apart
We failed to imagine
God might claim
God might claim
The works of art
We failed to imagine

Great wide stretches of canvas
Signed by a godless name
Strange bright colours of madness
Only a fool would frame
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain
Sketches of Pain

Don't Answer Me by The Alan Parson's Project

If you belive in the power of magic
I can change your mind
And if you need to belive in someone
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't anwer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you belive in the power of magic
it's all a fantasy
So if you need to belive in someone
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on you island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

Don't answer me , don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone...

Don't answer me , don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Can you change the things we've said and done?

Don't answer me , don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in...

I'd Love to Change the World
Ten Years After


Everywhere is
Freaks and hairies
****s and fairies
Tell me where is sanity


Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till there are no
Rich no more


I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you


Population
Keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding
Still more feeding economy


Life is funny
Skies are sunny
Bees make honey
Who needs money, monopoly


I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you


Oh yeah


World pollution
There's no solution
Institution
Electrocution
Just black or white
Rich or poor
Them and us
Stop the war


I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Duran Duran - Hungry like the Wolf

Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a afire
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
High blood drumming on your skin, it's so tight
You feel my heart, I'm just a moment behind

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine, I'm after you
Mouth is alive, al lrunning inside
And i'm hungry like the wolf

Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground, I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt, I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Joan Armatrading - Love and Affection

I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing

With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh

Thank you
You took me dancing
'Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance

Now if I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I
Feel love

I can really love
Really love

Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick to those
That I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure

Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection

Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Love

Outkast: Bombs Over Baghdad

[Dre]
1, 2.. 1, 2, 3; yeah!
In-slum-national, underground
Thunder pounds when I stomp the ground (Woo!)
Like a million elephants with silverback orangutans
You can't stop a train
Who want some? Don't come un-pre-pared
I'll be there, but when I leave there
Better be a household name
Weather man tellin' us it ain't gon' rain
So now we sittin' in a drop-top, soakin wet
In a silk suit, tryin' not to sweat
Hits somersaults without the net
But this'll be the year that we won't forget
One-Nine-Nine-Nine, Ano Domini, anything goes, be whatchu wanna be
Long as you know consequences are given for livin - the fence is
too high to jump in jail
Too low to dig, I might just touch hell - HOT!
Get a life, now they gon' sell
Then I might catch you a spell, look at what came in the mail
A scale and some Arm and Hammer, so grow grid and some baby máma
Black Cadillac and a pack of pampers
Stack of question with no answers
Cure for cancer, cure for AIDS
Make a nigga wanna stay on tour for days
Get back home, things are wrong
Well not really, it was bad all along
before you left adds up to a ball of power
Thoughts at a thousands miles per hour
Hello, ghetto, let your brain breathe
Believe there's always mo', OWWWW!

Chorus: 2X
[Dre] Don't pull the thang out, unless you plan to bang
{Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
[Dre] Yeah! Ha ha yeah!
Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something
{Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
{Dre} Yeah! Uhh-huh

[Big Boi]
Uno, dos, tres, it's on
Did you ever think a pimp rock a microphone?
Like that there boi and will still stay street
Big things happen every time we meet
Like a track team, crack fiend, dyin to geek
Outkast bumpin' up and down the street
Slam back, Cadillac, 'bout five nigga deep
Seventy-five emcee's freestylin' to the beat
Cause we get krunk, stay drunk, at the club
Should have bought an ounce, but you caught the dub
Should have held back, but you throwed the punch
'Spose to meet your girl but you packed a lunch
No D to-the U to-the G for you
Got a son on the way by the name of Bamboo
Got a little baby girl four year, Jordan
Never turn my back on my kids for them
Should have hit it (hit it) quit it (quit it) rag (rag) top (top)
Before you read up, get a laptop
Make a business for yourself, boy, set some goals
Make a fair diamond out of dusty coals
Record number four, but we on a roll
Hold up, slow up, stop, +Control+
like Janet, planets, Stankonia's on ya
Movin like Floyd comin' straight to Florida
Lock all your windows then block the quarters
Pullin' off on bell 'cause a whippins in order
Like a three piece fist, 'fore I cut your daughter
Yo quiero Taco Bell, then I hit the border
Penny pap rappers tryin' to get the five
I'm a microphone fiend tryin' to stay alive
When you come to ATL boi you better not hide
cause the Dungeon Family gon' ride, hah!

Chorus: 2X
[Dre] Don't pull the thang out, unless you plan to bang
{Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
[Dre] Yeah! Ha ha yeah!
Don't even bang unless you plan to hit something
{Choir} Bombs over Baghdad!
{Dre} Yeah! Uhh-huh

Bombs over Baghdad! Yeah
Bombs over Baghdad! Yeah
Bombs over Baghdad! Yeah

This is for my great (i.e. brother in law of my papa who has also passed) Uncle Lee Roy who died yesterday night. I will miss you Uncle SMoothie.

Bad Lee Roy BRown by jim Croce

Well ole south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there you better just beware
of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy's more than trouble, you see he stand about 6 foot 4
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the men just call him sir

(CHORUS)
And its bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he's a gambler, and he likes his fancy clothes
And he liked to wave his diamond rings under everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental, he got an El-Dorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

Well Friday but a week ago, Leroy shootin dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named a Doris
And oh that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her and the trouble soon began
And Leroy Brown learned a lesson bout a messin
with the wife of a jealous man


Well the 2 men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
with a couple of pieces gone

Yeah he was badder than old King Kong and meaner than a junkyard dog

First, sorry for your loss, Munchkin.


Leave My Blues At Home


I been trapped inside four walls,
Feel like I can't call to no one,
Away out on the outside.
Well, livin alone is easy,
But too long just don't seem really,
Quite the thing to do, no.
Think I'll drink up a little more wine,
To ease my worried mind.
And walk down on the street,
And leave my blues at home.
All behind.

The landlord is on my line,
I can't get no peace of mind.
But I know there's something better.
I can't stay and I can't run,
Can't keep waitin for someone to find and go roll.
Well, I'll gather up all my four leaf clovers.
Don't leave, I'm on my way over.
A walk down on the street,
And leave my blues at home.
All behind.

And I feel I have to scream whenever I get the notion.
And though I try so hard, I can't hold back my emotions.
But I love you, but I can't have ya.
Won't you sit by my side?

Ya don't work, the man don't pay ya.
There ain't no saint to come and save ya,
Oh, puttin your toll down.
Well, if you ride you pay the fare,
With Satan on your back and he don't care,
Where you come from or where you're goin.
And before I get myself all down,
I jump up and kick the door down.
And walk down on the street,
And leave my blues at home.
All behind.

Statesboro Blues


Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low,
Wake up mama, turn your lamp down low,

To turn Uncle John from your door.

I woke up this morning, I, a-had them Statesboro blues,
I woke up this morning, I, a-had them Statesboro blues,
Well I looked over in the corner baby,
And grandpa seemed to have them too.

Well, my mama died and left me,
My papa died and left me,
I ain't good lookin baby,
But I'm someone sweet and kind.

I'm goin to the country, baby do ya wanna go?
If you can't make it baby,
Your sister Lucille said she'd wanna go.
And I'd sure wanna take her.

I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen,
Well, I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen,
Lord, she treat me like a king, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Treat her like a dog gone queen.

Lord, wake up mama, turn your lamp down low,
Wake up mama, well turn your lamp down low,
You got no nerve, baby,
To turn Uncle John from your door.

I'm No Angel

No I'm no angel, No I'm no stranger to the street
I've got my label, So I won't crumble at your feet
And I know baby, So I've got scars upon my cheek
And I'm half crazy, Come on and love me baby

So you find me hard to handle, well I'm easier to hold
So you like my spurs that jingle and I never leave you cold
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

No I'm no angel, No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle, Let me start a fire with your spark
Oh come on baby, Come and let me show you my tatoo
Let me drive you crazy, Come on and love me baby

So you don't give a darn about me, I never treat you bad
I won't ever lift a hand to hurt you & I'll always leave you glad
So I might steal your diamonds I'll bring you back some gold
I'm no angel

LEAD

No I'm no angel, No I'm no stranger to the dark
Let me rock your cradle, Let me start a fire in your heart
Oh come on baby, Come and let me show you my tatoo
Let me drive you crazy, Come on and love me baby

Masters of War
Bob Dylan

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

[SlowwHand]

Heads Carolina, Tails California
Jo Dee Messina

Baby what do you say we just get lost
Leave this one horse town
Like two rebels without a cause
I got people in Boston,
Ain’t your daddy still in Des Moines
We can pack up tomorrow
Tonight lets flip a coin

Chorus:
Heads Carolina, Tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don’t matter, long as were going
Somewhere together, I’ve got a quarter
Heads Carolina, Tails California

We can load what we own in the back of a U-Haul van
Couple modern day Moses searchin' for the promise land
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas
We could drive for a day, and then take a look at the map

Chorus

Were gonna get out of here if we gotta ride a greyhound bus
Boy we’re bound to outrun the bad luck that’s tailing us

Chorus

Oh, California
Ooo, yea
Carolina
California

[self biased]

down, where i'm going.

Now don't you worry none -
Leave this part of yourself behind
I'm giving you back to yourself
So should you make the change?
Or could you right them wrong?
For I cannot replace where I'm going -

So are you angry with me?
What could be better my love?
Have most of every thing for yourself
Hateful and deserved
Charlie Manson's eyes
Are looking through you back to myself
So should I act my age?
Or should I just right them wrong
For I cannot replace where I'm going

[August Borms]

Mother Europe (Ancient Rites)

Oh remember the proud Hellenic civilisation
The cradle of Europe where it all began
Or the Portuguese and Spanish Armada
Overwhelming Thy power, a tribute to the south

Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent forever in my hearts
Representing medieval Flemish pride
Brave Teutonic, French and English knights
Thy shining armour now long vanished
Thy glory, however, forever remains
Praised be the Scandinavian hordes
Once the nightmare of the Christian world

I talk not of mercy
I talk not of fear
The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom

Children of Italia
In ancient times “Roma Caput Mundi”
De Verenigde Nederlanden, parel van het noorden
Belgium and The Netherlands stood as one

Mother Europe born from your womb
Mother Europe on Your soil shall be my tomb

I talk not of mercy
I talk not of fear
The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom
Oh what that gallant spirit shall resume
Leap from Europe’s bank and call Thee from the tomb

(Hail to the sons of eastern Europe
the Slavonian soul never fades)
Blessed are Scotland, Ireland and Bretagne
Where the Celtic dream still lives on

Shall be my tomb!

ARIS
Hear me, ancient forefather (Ambiorix)
Honoured be Thy deeds
Leading our tribes against the aggressor
Outnumbered, a campaign that could not be won
(But forever Thy blood in my veins)

Gracious Spartan civilisation
Eternally blessed Thy war spirit
Surrounded by thousands of Persians
“Molon lave” a final proud statement
(None of thee survived
but Thy Hellenic glory is everlasting)

Noble was your cause, brave Vercingetorix
Sad the day of your sacrifice
An example to your Celt tribe
Dying in solitude
(But Thy soul) forever in my heart

Remember the moment Jerusalem fell
The shrieks of the conquered, the conqueror’s yell
The roofs that we fired, and the plunder we shared
The wealty we slaughtered, the lovely we spared

Aris! And Aris hone!
Mars! And Mars rose!

Geuzen der Lage Landen
Van Antwerpen, Amsterdam to Den Briel
Helden der Calvanistische droom
Nachtmerrie der Spaanse/Roomse overheerser
Voor eeuwig Uw Bloed in onze aderen
Noble was your cause, brave Vercingetorix
Sad the day of your sacrifice

Hear me, ancient forefather (Ambiorix)
Honoured be Thy deeds
Leading our tribes against the aggressor
Outnumbered, a campaign that could not be won
Forever Thy Blood in my veins
Noble was your cause
Sad the day of your sacrifice
An example to our tribe

Back In The Saddle

I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again

ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon
barkeep gimme a drink, that's when she caught my eye
she turned to give me a wink, that'd make a grown man cry

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!

come easy, go easy, all right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight, I'm like a loaded gun
peelin' off my boots and chaps, I'm saddle sore
four bits gets you time in the racks, I scream for more
fools' gold out of their mines, the girls are soaking wet
no tongue's drier than mine, I'll come when I get back!

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol
I'm ridin', I really got a fistful
I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle
I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
ridin' high!
ridin' high!
ridin' high! already!
