1. RIGHT ON TRACK

Well it’s been a long, a long, long time
Since I’ve made up my mind
Something for nothing
I’m taking my chance
As you’re crossing my line

Well I’m a-moving
I’ve made my move
There ain’t nothing I can’t do

‘Cause I’m right on
(Right on!)
Right on track
Well, I’m right on
(Right on!)
I said I’m never looking back
No, no

Well it’s been such a long, a long, long time
But now I’ve made up my mind
Nothing’s free, can’t you see?
We’re living in a world of make-believe

Well I’m a-moving,
I’ve made my move
There ain’t nothing I can’t do

‘Cause I’m right on
(Right on!)
Right on track
Well, I’m right on
(Right on!)
I’m never looking back
No, no

Check it out!

Well, I’m right on, right on track
I said I’m never ever looking back
Well, I’m right on, right on track
I’m never, never, never, ever looking back


2. 18 AND LIFE

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived nine to five and worked his fingers to the bone

Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down

He had no money, no, no good at home
Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it’s...

[Chorus]
Eighteen and life you got it
Eighteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and life you got it
Eighteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s eighteen and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean

They say he loved adventure, “Ricky’s the wild one”
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun

Bang! Bang! shoot ‘em up, the party never ends
You can’t think of dying when the bottle’s your best friend
And now it’s...

[Chorus]

“Accidents will happen” they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away

[Chorus]


3. BABY’S SO COOL

The sun beats down on the valley of my baby
Deep down in her soul there’s a city of desire
A Cadillac shake and a lust burnin’ Hemi

I’m gonna’ chase her down on a highway of the night
Like a shark in the water I’m gonna take a bite

[Chorus]
Baby’s so cool when baby’s on fire
Lookin’ like an angel but the devil’s inside
Baby’s so cool, baby’s so mean
Me and pretty baby and the devil make three
Me and pretty baby and the devil make three

Front heavy balance on a set of long legs
The things that she do ain’t the things that she says
A pitcher full of her could be spillin’ out my bed

I’m gonna fit you tight like the stocking on your thigh
Takin’ what I need then I’m gonna say goodbye

[Chorus]

Take me all the way
Take me through the night
Come on take a ride
I’m your rollercoaster
Take me all the way
Gotta get inside
We’re movin’ faster
Time to paralyze

The sun beats down on the valley of my baby!

[Chorus] (x2)


4. SEVENTEEN

Yeah, I saw sparks fly from the corner of my eye
When I turned, it was love at first sight
I said please excuse me, I didn’t catch your name
Oh, it’d be a shame not to see you again

And just when I thought she was comin’ to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor
She said:

I’m only seventeen (seventeen)
But I’ll show you love like you’ve never seen
She’s only seventeen (seventeen)
Daddy says she’s too young, but she’s old enough for me

Come to my place, we can talk it over
Oh, everything going down in your head
She said take it easy, I need some time
Time to work it out, to make you mine

And just when I thought she was comin’ to my door
She whispered sweet and brought me to the floor
She said:

I’m only seventeen (seventeen)
You ain’t seen love, ain’t seen nothing like me
She’s only seventeen, seventeen, yeah, yeah

Yes!
Such a bad girl, loves to work me overtime
Feels good (ha!), dancin’ close to the borderline
She’s a magic mountain, she’s a leather glove
Oh, she’s my soul, it must be love

She’s only seventeen (seventeen)
I used to give her love like I’ve never seen
She’s only seventeen (seventeen)
Daddy says she’s too young
But she’s old enough for me (seventeen)
She’s everything I need (seventeen)
Daddy says she’s too young
But she’s old enough, old enough for me


5. WIND ME UP

There ought to be a law against it
To lead a man on and then let him go
What’s the world comin’ to
When you can’t slide into home?
Tell it like it is woman
Tell the boy maybe or never mind
We could go all the way
The big boys don’t like to waste time

[Chorus]
Wind me up
I need enough to keep me satisfied
Wind me up
I want to hold you, but my hands are tied
Wind me up
You kiss me quick and then you turn me off
Wind me up

The only way she winds you up
Is when you ask for too much trouble
Ain’t no room for a second chance
When the first one ain’t even over
Packed with a powerful love
That I just can’t get enough of
Lay your cards on the table
Baby, make no mistake about it

[Chorus]

Wind me up!

It’s time to let the cat out of the bag!

[Chorus]


6. WILD, YOUNG AND CRAZY

Well, I was born broke without a dollar
Livin’ out on the street, yeah
If I could steal more than I could swallow
Bet your ass I’d be free, oh

I broke the law, but the law can’t touch me
‘Cause I could never slow down, baby
So come along for a ride in the fast lane

[Chorus]
Oh yeah ‘cause I’m wild
Young and crazy
You got to know that I’m wild, yeah
Young and crazy

A lot of people pray to get to heaven
Come along with me, yeah
If you could live the life that I been livin’
Now, baby, why can’t you see, oh?

You’ve only got one life, you got to live it
Never, never slow down, baby
So come along for a ride in the fast lane

[Chorus]

No more taking a number
No more waste my time
Don’t get any longer
So don’t you fall behind

Oh, baby
Yes, I’m wild and I’m young
Yes, I’m wild and I’m young
Come along with me, babe
Slip yourself on
I’m in the driver’s seat

I’m wild
Young and crazy
You got to know that I’m wild, yeah
Young and crazy
Baby, baby, baby, baby, babe!
Young and crazy
You got to know that
I’m wild, wild, wild, wild, wild, wild
Young and crazy
Yes, I’m wild
I’m crazy!!!


7. HIGH WIRE

Standin’ here, I got my eye on you
Your story bleeds, but there’s no review
Honey drip and set my soul on fire
Stealin’ hearts got me walkin’ the wire

[Chorus]
You’re gonna lose control
All night long
When I find my love, love, love
High wire

Flash a smile like a shiny blade
Everyone there thinks you got it made
Sorry, child, can you take me higher?
But you keep me hangin’ on your lonely wire

[Chorus]

Oh, feels so good
You give me lovin’ like no one could
You turn me child, inside out
Still you leave me drownin’ in a sea of doubt

You’re gonna lose control
All night long
You’re gonna steal my soul, mama
You can’t go wrong
When I find my love, love, love
High wire

Love, love, love!

Oh, sweet child
I know where you come from now
High wire, baby!


8. HOUNDS

Sun sets on the moon
The cry of the hounds live forevermore
Stalking the night
They roam the countryside till morning’s light

[Chorus]
Do you hear the hounds they call?
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down

They run wild and free
Across the fields and valleys of their native land
Nature’s beasts deranged
Beyond belief, no one understands

[Chorus]

Can you hear them in the night?
They got you in their sight

They hunt you down!
Hunt you down!

[Chorus]

Do you hear the hounds they call?


9. OVER MY HEAD

Over my head
I hear music in the air
Over my head
I hear music
Over my head
It’s loud and clear
It’s going to my head

Music, music, I hear music
Music, I hear music, music, music
Oh! Oh! Oh! Lord
Music over my head

I, I, I hear it so clear
I, I, I hear it so dear
I know, I know, I know I’m not crazy
It’s going to my head

Music, music, I hear music
Music, oh, I hear music, music

Music
Oh! Oh! Oh! Lord
Music over my head
She was saying it
Music, music, I hear music
Music, I hear music, oh

Grandma used to sing
Grandma used to sing
Every night while she was prayin’
Over my head
Over my head
I hear music
Oh, Lord

Music, music, I hear music
Music, I hear music, music

Music
Oh! Oh! Oh! Lord
Music over my head
Music over my head
Music, music, I hear music
Music, I hear music, music
Music
Oh! Oh! Oh! Lord
Music over my head
Music over my head

Can you hear it?
Hear it!
Don’t you hear it?
Listen!
It’s all around me!
It’s everywhere!

Over my head
Lord, you sing it, sing it
Just like yesterday!

I’m talking, talking, talking in my sleep
Oh, I can feel it
Music, music
Music over my head!


10. NEW THING

Information came about her
Suddenly, I live without her
Turn my stereo up louder
I don’t wanna hear about her

Took myself a small vacation
Kind of on investigation
Checking out a new sensation
Finding much invigoration

Hand is on the buzzer
And I’m walkin’ through the door

[Chorus]
Get high on a new thing
Get high on a new thing
Get high, high on a new thing

Everybody wants to find it
Just they’re all so narrow-minded
See a hill, they’ve got to climb it
May be pots of gold behind it

Worry, worry is your answer
If you like your wrinkles faster
Nursing old things make them last
The way we did it in the past

With everybody telling you
“You ain’t got no respect!”

[Chorus]

Suicide don’t make it
‘Cause you’re lonely in the end

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
On a new thing

(On a new thing)
I get high, I get high, so high
(On a new thing)
I’m so high, I’m so high, let’s get high

(On a new thing)
I’m so high, I’m so high, I’m so high
(On a new thing)
I’m so high, I’m so high, I’m so high

(On a new thing)
Let’s get high
(On a new thing)
Get high
(On a new thing)
(On a new thing)


11. EDGE OF THE KNIFE

I’ve been living on the edge of the knife
I’ve been searching for love, trying to survive
You’ve been saying that it’s all just a dream
But I wake in the night and I hear myself scream

And it seemed that the odds were all with me
Then she left and she left me feeling weak

Got the feeling but I’m not too sure
For my empty life, can’t find no cure
Voices calling out inside my head
Life is so strange, my body’s like lead

And it seemed that the odds were all with me
Then she left and she left me feeling weak

She broke my heart
Now we’re far apart each one going his way
But I miss you so and I can’t let go
Of the dreams, that our love was made

Searching high, feeling low
Without you, girl, I’m in the cold
Light my light, my aim is true
Guide me home, home to you

Got the feeling but I’m not too sure
For my empty life, can’t find no cure
Voices calling out inside my head
Life is so strange, my body’s like lead

And it seemed that the odds were all with me
Then she left and she left me feeling weak

Searching high, feeling low
Without you, girl, I’m in the cold
Light my light, my aim is true
Guide me home, home to you


12. DON’T WAIT FOR ME

It’s time we had a talk
Let’s get something straight
No, it won’t take long
But it’s getting very late
Don’t put me off
You know I’ll cut you down
Oh, that’s right

[Chorus]
All night long
Doin’ what we’ve got to do
Well, so long
But you know I’m comin’ after you!

Don’t, don’t wait for me
(Don’t you wait for me!)
Don’t (don’t!) don’t wait for me
‘Cause I’ll be on your tail
(Don’t!) Don’t wait for me
(Don’t you wait for me!)
No, no!

I’ve been down many times before
I’ve been around
Seen it all and maybe more
But now I’m up and gettin’ higher, yeah
Let’s break the chains
That’s right

[Chorus]

Don’t, don’t wait for me
(Don’t you wait for me!)
Don’t (don’t!) don’t wait for me
‘Cause I’ll be fuckin’ on your tail
(Don’t!) Don’t wait for me
(Don’t you wait for me!)
No, no!
Don’t you wait for me
No, no!

[Chorus]
