1. MOVE IT

Sweet little sister
This scene's gettin' old
Don't you think it's time we got to go

I got so twisted
Tryin' to make it right
Don't you know we've wasted half the night

I was told to use my head
Be herd and never scene
It's Daddy's double talk
Don't mean nothing to me

Let's move it
Time to say so long
Let's move it
Let's get this mother on

Hey little sister
In your high heeled shoes
Don't you know it's time to learn the blues

Sweet little sister
Time to get it on
Don't you know the meanin' to this song

I recall what Daddy said
Stay where you belong
That's just an alibi

Let's get this baby on

Let's move it
Time to say so long
Let's move it
Let's get this mother on

It's just that double talk
Don't mean nothing to me
It's time to shake it loose
Shake it from the family tree
Let's move it


2. HEART THE HUNTER

I had a woman, gave her all of my lovin'
Gave her all that I had
Kinda' woman she could make you believe her
Nothing's gonna go bad

Took awhile, and all the hurtin'
Since she left and went away
Behind her smile though I can't be certain
But I thought I heard her say

My heart's a hunter
And love is a loser's game
My heart's a hunter
And love is a loser's game

Little baby I won't give ya no heartaches
I won't give ya no pain
Sweet little darlin' can't ya see what is comin'
Cause ya know me by name

Used to be when I was a child
I thought lovin' should be free
And it's so hard to be reconciled
That ain't the way it oughta be

It's only lovin' when she's gone and she's left ya
It goes to show it's always something
That I felt when I met ya
It comes and it goes

I ride alone tonight
So bittersweet
I took a chance
I tried to love her
Someone whispered her name
Heartbreaker


3. HIWAY NIGHTS

I know the spell you're under
I know it so well
How far? Well you may wonder
No way to tell

I've travelled miles from nowhere
Where sons never rise
Lookin' to find a meaning
Now open your eyes

Yeah
Been this way so long
Tomorrow's gone

See if the rhyme has reason
Chasing the wind
Look for a change of season
Somewhere to begin

Yeah
The freeway is my song

Now hiway nights
Red tail lights
Lead my love light love
Hiway nights
Freeway sights
To this eagle I belong
It rolls me on

How can I bring you lovin'
Out of the night
Is it a dream
To fade in the light

Yeah
The freeway is my song

Hiway nights
Red tail light
Lead my love light on
Hiway lights
Freeway sights
To this eagle I belong

Baby won't you start your motor
Baby won't you turn it over
Baby won't you drive me
Drive me through the night


4. THE ANGEL SONG

Fallen angel ripped and bruised
Think on better days
Life is rude, treats you bad
Tears your wings away
Raise your eyes to star and sky
Believe in fly aways
Take your dreams, your broken schemes
And sweep the past away

Fly lonely angel
High above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
Far away from mad desire

Hollywood ain't paved with gold
It's just a trick of light
Sunset falls on stars of old
And blinds you with its light
A spiders web of tangled lives
Lays stretched across the hills
From distances it's glistening
Like El Dorado's halls

Fly lonely angel
High above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
Leave behind the mad desire

The dream was light
And fragrant nights
But how were you to know
The streets are hard
They're mean and scarred
Where only fools find gold

Fly lonely angel
High above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
Leave behind the mad desire

Fly lonely angel
Spread your wings another way
Fly lonely angel
Find a better way
A better day


5. MISTA BONE

That girl is just a cool good looker
That baby's sweeter than raw brown sugar
Never mind cause the fancy took her
She says she wants to let the small head rock her

What a smile
Don't it drive you insane
Ooh ma baby
Drive a mile
Just to ride back again

Baby won't ya rock it tonight

And when she's in the mood
When she needs that lovin' groove
When she wants it rude
She grooves with Mista Bone
If she's in the mood
If she hits that lovin' groove
When she's gettin' rude
She grooves with Mista Bone

Just take it like a sweet injection
Just a token of my affection
Another night we'll take another direction
I'm gonna play you like a rhythm section

What style
Let me see that again
Ooh my baby
Drive a mile
Just to ride you again

Baby won't ya rock it tonight


6. BABY'S ON FIRE

Learn me to rock an' I learnt me t'roll
Ya gotta use it baby t'keep your soul
Go down to town, get some reaction
Gotta go down cos I need a distraction

I've been tryin' it on with everyone in sight
She's been waitin' so long for me t'come tonight

Baby's on fire and I'm burnin' up
Sparks bin flyin' an' she can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes

There ain't no cure and there ain't no time
You gotta have it and have it fine
Don't say a word about her affections
I'm gonna come from another direction

She's been tryin' it on with everyone in sight
I've been waitin' so long for her t' come tonight

Baby's on fire and I'm burnin' up
Sparks bin flyin' an' I can't get enough
Can't get enough but she's got what it takes
Baby's on fire and I got the shakes


7. HOUSE OF BROKEN LOVE

Come the mornin' don't ya wake me
I'll be dreamin' that I'm free
Come the daybreak don't ya shake me
Send me back to misery

Cause I'm dealin' with the devil
With no help from above
I'm stealin' with the devil
Through this house of broken love

Takin' chances with you baby
I saw something in your eyes
And though no one else could blame me
There were signs I shoulda recognized

Now I'm dealin' with the devil
With no help from above
I'm sleepin' with the devil
In this house of broken love....broken love

If you don't wanna lose my lovin'
Use it constantly
If it's gonna be lies, suspicious eyes
Baby oh baby set me free

When the night falls and she's leavin'
Ooo the moon shines cold and grey
Hear my heartbeat yeah yeah hear m' weepin'
Pain and sorrow's here to stay

I begged you baby help me
But you turned your back on me
You didn't even listen
You should have set me free

Now I'm leavin' with the devil
Gonna leave this search for love
I'm Leavin' with the devil
Leave this house of broken love


8. SHE ONLY

So many years to go by
So many tears can fill your eyes
So many fears to lock behind the door

So you drift away
And yet another day
Day goes by
Empty as before

I'll be there
Come the mornin' light
Waitin' there
I'll wait for you

She only needs someone
She only needs some time
She only needs someone
To stay this time
She's waiting for love to come
She waits there on her own
She's waitin' for someone
To get it right this time

So many days drift by
Oh, there's too many ways slowly die
How may shadows fade across the wall

Baby, soon the day will come
You may find someone
Only now
Lonely evermore

She's still there
Come the morning light
She's waiting here
She waits for you

She only needs someone
She only needs some time
She only needs someone
To stay, stay this time
She's waiting for love to come
She waits there on her own
She's waitin' for someone
To get it right this time


9. ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY

Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels

You didn't know what rock-n-roll was
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line

Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh so cold
You're lookin' tired you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Halfway home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye she was giving what she got

I said my my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy babe
My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy baby
My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy babe

Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home you're messin' around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

You didn't know that rock-n-roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet

I said my my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy baby
My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy babe
My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy baby

I didn't know you had a rock-n-roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now it's dark as it's dawn

My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy babe
My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy baby
My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy baby
My my my, I'm once bitten, twice shy
So shy
