1. FOOL FOR THE CITY

(Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, from England, Foghat)

Goin' to the city, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time, 'cause I'm a -

Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.

Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun,
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run,
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come! 'Cause I'm a-

Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city

I'm like a fish out of water, I'm just a man in a hole,
The city lights turn my blues into gold.
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man,
I've gotta hit the grit just as fast as I can.

I'm tired of layin' back and hangin' around,
I'm gonna catch that train, Whoo! And I'll be city bound, Yeah!

[Solo]

I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man,
I gotta hit the grit just as fast as I can.

I'll get off on Main street, step into the crowd, whoo!
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud, whoa,
When I see my Inner City child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud, whoo! 'Cause I'm a-

Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
I'm a fool, (fool for the city),
A fool for the city yeah, (fool for the city).
I'm a fool, (fool for the city),
Fool for the city, yeah, (fool for the city).
Whoo!


2. MY BABE

I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my babe, she's so fine, yeah!
I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my babe, she's so fine,
I love to love my baby, love to love her all the time.

Well I love her, don't you love her, say I love her, do you hear?
I love her, don't you love her, say I love her, do you hear?
Upsets my soul, she whispers sweet words in my ear.

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, like a young man should,
She never make me cry, that's why, she's my babe, she's my babe.

Nothin' could be better than to see you in a sweater
and a real tight skirt, that don't fit,
Nothin' could be better than to see you in a sweater
and a tight skirt, don't fit,
She wants to have fun, people let me tell you that's it!

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, just like a young man should,
She never make me cry - that's why, she's my babe - she's my babe.
[On] Mr. Price

[Slide Solo]

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, just like a young man should,
She never make me cry, that's why, oh baby, that's why .....

I'm talkin' 'bout my baby, not your baby, say my baby, not your baby,
Say my babe, she's so f-i-n-e.

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, like a young man should,
She never makes me cry, that's why, let's get it now,

I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks,
She makes me feel so good, so good, like a young man should,
She never makes me cry, that's why, that's good, she's my baby.


3. DRIVIN' WHEEL

Feelin' good, can't be real, must be dreamin' 'bout my drivin' wheel.
Rollin' on, drivin' on, come to me and rock me all night long.
We've got a roll goin', too good to stop.
Flyin' high, we've got too far to drop.
Everybody needs somebody to love,
I've got you, and that's love enough.

You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah

Powerful love, steady roll, move my body and it rock my soul.
Let me ride, let me slide, got that lovin' feelin', way down inside.
You got me walkin', goin' round and around,
You got me talkin', but I can't hear a sound.
Love comes easy when the going is tough,
May be crazy - I may be in love.

You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah.

Every night feelin' high, flyin' right, can't believe all the love that I feel.
Easy rider, you're a love exciter, you're my love, you're my drivin' wheel.

5. NIGHT SHIFT

Working on a night shift, high on a 'fore day drive
I'm energized from sundown to sunrise, and I'll sleep from nine to five
Shadows fallin' all down the line
Get ready 'cause it's night shift time

Living, loving, searching high and low,
Feel the fire, I'm hooked to a live wire, and I can't let go
I got a feeling that I can't mistake
Sun rises and I'm still awake

I'll play my music - I don't mind working over time
And if I lose it, I'll come to you and you'll give me peace of mind

[Solo]

I get home early in the morning, I love to get next you
You touch me and you thrill me, you know what to do

[Solo]

Working on a night shift, you tell me something's got to give
I don't mind 'cause I'm feelin' fine, and I love the life I live
Shadows fallin' on down the line
Get ready, 'cause it's night shift time

7. HOME IN MY HAND

(Alright, would you all please welcome to New Haven, from England, Foghat)

(I've got my Home In My Hand)

Thumbin' a ride to Geneva, standin' in the falling rain,
Gettin' dirty looks, wish I coulda' took a train.

Your friends said, "Why did you leave her?" - had to make it on my own,
Now I'm standing on the highway, tryin' to find my way alone.

Well I got my home in my hand, travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.

It's gettin' so hard to remember, even harder to forget,

Oh sugar lady, be my saviour,
