1. GOOD TO BE BACK

When I first left home
My guitar on my back
I had a ticket to ride to the top of the hill
There was no lookin' back
But a five man band rollin' round the world
Couldn't take the place of a small town girl
I had it all, then I threw it away
I shoulda known better then that

Now it's good to be back
It's good to be back in the battle again
It's good to be back
It's good to be right back where I belong
Alright now

We were half way there
We got into a fight
It was the last time I ever saw Ronnie alive
What a lonely night
I got a six string over my shoulder
I still feel like a kid I just look a bit older
People say it's a matter of time
But baby it's a matter of fact

That it's good to be back
It's good to be back in the saddle again
It's good to be back
It's good to be right back where I belong
Yeah yeah

A thousand miles in the driving rain
Doing one night stands
It's a giant leap for rock and roll
Come on let's do it again

It's good to be back
It's good to be back in the battle again
It's good to be back
It's good to be right back where I belong
Yeah yeah
Yeah
Right back where I belong
Cause I'm back
Yeah yeah
Oh


2. DON'T LET HIM KNOW

Here we are waking up by the fire light
Now you worry 'cause it's four a.m.

Think you might stayed just a little too long
Oh yeah, oh don't let him know
Don't show him what's in your (eyes)(heart)
Don't let him know (don't let him know)

Does he know that you're breaking the rules
Does he listen to your lies
What's gonna happen when you run out of alibis

Is it easy when you're walking out
Do you smile as you're leaving
If I were you I'd be wondering
When he's gonna get even

Think you might stayed just a little too long

Is it easy when you're walking out
Do you smile as you're leaving
If I were you I'd be wondering
When he's gonna get even

Think you might stayed just a little too long


3. AMERICAN MUSIC

American music you can hear it all over the world
Right now somewhere this minute there's a radio playin on
And it's playing that rhythm and blues
It's hot dresses and high-heeled shoes
With the Ike ettes playin and the Four Tops singin the same old songs

Gonna take you on a four four ride
Gonna let the drummer be my guide
Hangin' around, Hitchin' a ride, Comin' on strong, getting excited

[Chorus]
American Music you can hear it all over the world
American Music you can shout it all over the world

Whenever I'm feelin' down there's only one thing pullin' me through
Twelve bar shuffle and a mega watt stereo
You can hear that Texas sound and a blue eyed soul review
A make it over night mid western power trio

Gonna take you on a four four ride
Gonna let the drummer be my guide
Hangin' around Hitchin' a ride Comin' on strong getting excited

[Chorus]


4. PARTY LINE

Operator got a party line
Havin' trouble gettin' to that girl of mine
Gotta stay in touch, I don't want to lose her
She's really too much, I gotta talk to her

It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can't get through at all

[Chorus]
I try to get in touch with you
Party Line
No luck no matter what I do
Party Line

Remember Chuck Berry on the radio
say "Help me operator, get the one I know"
I'm holdin' that line, reachin' my extension
I'm runnin' out of dimes so won't you pay attention

In between the buzzin' and the ringing tones
I tell her that I love her but we're not alone
Who's that voice diggin' all the gossip
I can't get through at all

[Chorus]

Hang up and try it again...

It's a mighty long way to Louisiana...
G.T.E. is messin' up my plans
Lines get crossed everytime I call her
I can't get through at all

[Chorus]

(Outro)


5. COVER GIRL

Cover girl you've come a long way
New Mercedes in the driveway
Oh oh, she's just a small town girl at heart
I'm concerned with what they say
Reputation on display
Oh how people like to talk.

I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl

Five years in eighteen months
She got everything all at once
She moved out that's when he moved in
Cover Girl it's such a damn waste
You were more than just a pretty face
I never thought I'd never see you again

I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl

(Solo)

Cover Girl you've come a long way
New Mercedes in the driveway
Oh oh she's just a small town girl at heart
Cover Girl it's such a damn waste
You were more than just a pretty face
I never thought I'd never see you again

I saw her picture in a magazine row
Blue eyes shinin by the cellophane glow
Tonight she's giving it all away, she's all right
My Cover Girl
I saw her picture on the 6-o clock news
Just read about the cover girl blues


6. ARMAGEDDON

There was a full moon over Memphis
National Guard outside
Thousands wait for Elvis
Waitin' ever since he died
For a miracle to gonna happen
His eminence to restore
The sound of thunder crackin'
Signals the beginning of the war to end all wars

Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home

Jerry and Linda in the Whitehouse
President sleepin' in his shoes
Red phones ring in the blackout
Ain't got time to lose
U-boats off New England
Enemy submarines
From Boston to Miami
On a red alert, you better scramble all the F-15's

Armageddon carry me home
Armageddon carry me home


7. SEE FOREVER EYES

Looking right through you she knows who you are she's got see forever eyes
A spirit obsessed, a vision possessed with universal inner sight
No stranger to love she's had many men but none of them survived
Her crystal excites so follow the light of her see forever eyes

[Chorus]
See Forever Eyes
See Forever Eyes

Beholding the mirror her eyes give a feeling of lonely vacant skies
Soaring above always searching for love the soul within her flies
Caught by a glance, in a gossamer trance, woven by her lies
Compelling them nearer, dispelling their fear with her see forever eyes

(Solo)

[Chorus]


8. SPACESHIP SUPERSTAR

Every night is a different flight to a different galaxy
Do a sold-out show, then I hit the road in my starship limousine

Get so damned tired and uninspired doin' all these one night stands
It's a giant leap for Rock'n'Roll...but it's too much for just one man

I'm a Spaceship Superstar... gotta solar-powered laser beam guitar
I'm at the top of all the charts on Mars...I'm a Spaceship Superstar!

On Mercury, they're crazy about my stellar rock'n'roll
And I always sell out in advance at the Martian Astrobowl

The fans, they swarm like meteorites to our concerts on the moon
You should have seen us knock'em dead on Venus doin' all our favorite tunes

I'm a Spaceship Superstar...gotta solar-powered laser beam guitar
I'm at the top of all the charts on Mars...I'm a Spaceship Superstar!


9. YOU WALKED AWAY AGAIN

You had me on your side but even now we're far away
I've got to settle down you know I've waited for so long
But you walked away again, just as it was time to start
And don't lead me on again, you know it breaks my heart

You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again
You walked away again

You want to talk again but all I get's a busy line
I can't control myself goin' through this all the time
But you walked away again, just as it was time to start
Don't lead me on again, it's tearin' me apart

You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again
You walked away again
You walked away again

You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again before love even had a chance
You walked away again before we even said romance
You walked away again
You walked away again
You walked away again


10. VIRGINIA

Summer leaves are gone and the time has come
For the plans you made long ago
Hear the engines roar as we walked throught the doors
I just can't believe this dream is over
Virginia look up in the sky, don't it bring you sorrow
We know when ever you gonna fly, I will be there tomorrow
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
It's easy to release me when you're three thousand miles away
You no longer care, when I'm no longer there
And all the love we have will fade away, fade away

Virginia please hold on to me, don't leave it all behind
Is there something I can say, that will change your mind
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go

So look around you now at this faceless crowd
You can walk right out and forget it
Virginia we got too much love to bring it to an end
And I know if I let you go, I'll never see you again
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go
Virginia, Virginia don't go


11. MIRROR MAN

Mirror man, lives his life alone
Close at hand, got his telephone
Saturday night out on the street
Hustlin' ice, an eye on the heat

Mirror man, you in a danger zone
Everynite, things he can't avoid
Drive him wild', make him paranoid
Another day, another episode
You make a mistake and it's all over
Mirror man he hasn't got a choice

Mirror, mirror man
Mirror, mirror man
Mirror, mirror man

He is blinded by the rising sun
In his mind don't know back from front
Haunted by his flipped out dreams
He wonders what life really means
Mirror man they got you on the run

Mirror, mirror man
Mirror, mirror man
Mirror, mirror man


12. SATELLITE

Watch out for bad reception
'cause the night has a thousand eyes
Connected to your television
lookin' at you!

Sky high flyin' in circles
keepin' an eye on the world
Watching over civilization
lookin' at you!

We got communication..5..4..3..2..1
Satellite

At the main nerve centre in Houston
your name lights up on a screen
Flashin' up a digital read-out
tellin' on you!

It's a no-win situation
they got a fix on you
It's a silicone revolution
turnin' on you!

We got communication..5..4..3..2..1
Satellite


13. TURN ON YOUR RADAR

I'm from another country, an alien nation
It's in another world of my own creation
I'm light years away, and nobody's trying to reach me
Despite what I say, nobody knows what I mean

[Chorus]
Turn your radar, radar, radar, radar on
Turn on your radar, radar, radar
I don't want to be alone...

I'd like to get the feeling that someone knew me
But everywhere I go they seem to see right through me
They don't want to hear...How can I get them to listen?
Is it clear....oh I want someone to love

[Chorus]

(Solo)

Like an object in space...Does anyone know who I am?

[Chorus]


14. NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Hey little girl, I'm a man of the world
Some say I've been around
Hey little girl, can I show you the world
Lay down beside me now
Never forget, this moment we met
Forever recall this night
Doin' it all on a night to remember

Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone

Turn out the light, look in my eyes
Open your heart to me
Love on the run, it's only begun
Darlin' I know you'll see
Sweet talk and wine, spendin' the time
Learnin' what love's all about
Never forget, this moment we met
Don't let it end without doin' it all on a night to remember

Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone

Sweet talk and wine, spendin' the time
Learnin' what love's all about
Never forget, this moment we met
Don't let it end without doin' it all on a night to remember

Night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone
A night to remember, a night to live on
A moment together, it's here then it's gone


15. FLYIN'

You're on the inside
I'm on the outside
Baby, there's no right side to this game

You had me floatin'
How could I be knowin'
That our love was only a one act play

Flyin'
you should be flyin' home
Flyin'
now you'll be flyin'home

Now that you're leavin'
I just can't believe it
I should have seen it a long time ago

The time I was losing
love can be so confusing
Now I'll put you back on that morning plane

Flyin'
now you're flyin' home
Flyin'
you'll be flyin' home

Get on your way...
Get on your way up to the sky
A brand new day...
it's a brand new day and I'm flyin'!

Flyin'
you'll be flyin' home
Flyin'
it's time you're flyin' home
Flyin'
you'll be flyin' home
Flyin'
I'll see you flyin' home

Flyin' home...

(repeat and fade)


16. YOUNG AND RESTLESS

Standing at attention, waiting for the bell to ring
After all the crap I've been through gonna make my break
Whatever it takes to let them know that I ain't foolin'

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...

Going for reaction, good or bad I don't care
Doing something drastic to turn the adrenaline on
Then take a stand and say I didn't know what I was doing

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...

Trying for attention, recognition for the pain
Flyin' solo, its a vision so lost and so alone
Then all at once, it's gonna hit you without warning

Young and Restless Runnin' out of control...
Young and Restless Headin' for an overload...


17. TAKE ME TO THE KAPTIN

The planet dies and no one cries
So hard to believe
If there was somewhere else to go
You know I'd be the first to leave

I don't mean to sound ungrateful
But I'm afraid that I just can't stay

I had a dream the other night
And as the dream unfurled
I took a trip in a rocket ship
And I found another world

They told me about their Kaptin
Then I asked him "Could I stay?"

I said: Take me to the Kaptin and tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world while my world disappears

Won't you take me to the Kaptin and tell him why I'm here
I want to stay in your world while my world disappears

(repeat from verse 2)
