1. 32 PENNIES

Spend my time and all my money
On a knob for my brass bed
Climb to the top of the highest mountain
Just to see how far I get
Dancin' with my shadow
But I let my shandow lead
And if I die with a penny in my pocket
Then I guess thats all I need

Oooh baby where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would
Come along with you
I could walk on down the road
Till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day
Cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh Ohh

Yeah
Ooh Ooh baby yeah
32 pennies in a Ragu jar
That's all I've got to my name
But I love her and she loves me
To the pennies its all the same

Oooh baby where you going to
I was thinking that maybe I would
Come along with you
I could walk on down the road
Till I found me someone new
But I think I'll stay just one more day
Cuz i'm in love with you
Ohh Ohh

My-my-my-my-my-my baby yeah

32 pennies in a ragu jar
That's all i've got to my name
But i love her and she loves me
To the pennies it's all the same
Ooh ooh
Yeah
Ooh ooh

Give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love
Ooh ooh, Whoa yeah!


2. DOWN BOYS

Some things you do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street light silhouettes your thighs inside your dress
Wild child in the streets I think I see you but I really don't know
(who knows)
Goin' a million miles an hour headed out to where the down boys go

Whoa can we rewind to where we've been
ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in

Where the down boys go GO, where the down boys go GO
Where the down boys go, yeah, I wanna go where the down boys go

You comb your hair, put on your shades you look real cool
Your giving me the run-around you make me feel like a fool
Got alot of nerves to call me cheap even though it's true
I don't care where we go tonight Just take me along with you

Whoa can we rewind to where we've been
ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in

Where the down boys go GO, where the down boys go GO
Where the down boys go, yeah, I wanna go where the down boys go

Some things you do really make me mad I must confess
The way the street lights silhouette your thighs inside your dress

Whoa can we rewind to where we've been
ooh I wish you'd take a look and see the shape I'm in

Where the down boys go GO Where the down boys go
Where the down boys go
Where the go


3. BIG TALK

Back street fight is looking for trouble
If you open your mouth You're bound to rumble
Johnny looks tough He's froze in the eyes
He keeps his mouth shut He don't tell no lies

Johhny went out last night Got in a barroom fight
Embarrassed a jealous man in front of his cheatin' wife
The man said "Tonight you won But I tell you son
This one's far from over" Johnny said...

Big talk is just cheap talk unless Unless you're backin' it up
Big talk is cheap talk Only words
Unless you're backin' it up Backin' it up

I don't know why some men lay down and die
Don't they believe in what they are sayin'
You should get on your fee Believe you can't be beat
Remember talk is only playin'

Big talk is just cheap talk unless Unless you're backin' it up
Big talk is cheap talk Only words
Unless you're backin' it up Backin' it up

I remember what my old man used to say WE'RE BACKIN' IT UP
Never give up and run WE'RE BACKIN' IT UP
Don't let the talkin' breeze blow you away
Always remember Stick to your guns


4. SOMETIMES SHE CRIES

Lisa don't think she's pretty no more,
Starin at the stars through a backstreet door,
She tries and tries to make it all work out,
No matter what she does,
She's left standin in the middle of doubt,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin rain,
You can count on me,

Sometimes she cries,
When shes alone at night,
Sometimes she weaps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
It just tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,
Ooh, I wonder why,

Lisa don't have a lover no more,
Plays with her pillow,
Stares at the bedroom floor,
Used to have a million,
They've come and gone,
No matter what she does,
She can't figure out what she's doin' wrong,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin rain,

Sometimes she cries,
In the middle of the night,
Sometimes she weeps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries,

Ooh, yeah,
Liven, loven, given everything you've got,
After all the heartache,
Maybe give it all just one more shot yeah,
In a lonely night,
And in the pourin rain,
The only thing I really wanna know is why,

Sometimes she cries,
In the middle of the night,
Sometimes she weaps,
When she's feelin cold and weak,
Sometimes the pain,
Oh, it tears her up inside,
Sometimes she cries.


5. SO DAMN PRETTY (SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW)

I got my act down got it down tight
Got a feeling tonight'll be a good night
Gonna see a million girls
Gonna grab one pretty
Take her around the world

Come on and spread your wings
Come on and let me in
You know it really ain't dirty
And not a sin
To have to hold
Love to squeeze
Come on and be my baby
Get down on your knees
Oh yeah, pretty, Pretty please

Oh, I need your love
I need it bad
Oh, you're about the best thing
I've ever had
Woah oh oh oh
lets get down to the raw
So damn pretty, should be against the law

Well I was looking at you
From across the room
Hoping that you would see me to
After half an hour of nothing to do
My feet were getting cold inside my shoes
It came to me from outta the blue
Come on you gotta grab her
Take her in the bathroom
By the light of the moon
Comin' through the window
Woah, I need your love
I need it bad
Woah, You're about the best thing I ever had
Woah oh oh oh, yeah

I said hookers
And whores
And a teenage slut
On the bathroom floor
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Oh yeah


6. DIRTY ROTTEN FILTHY STINKING RICH

Dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
Italian cars as long as my street
I'm gonna wear exotic animals
On my feet
Pretty rocks on my fingers
Pretty bells on my toes
Lots of caviar for my mouth
Maybe I'll even pierce my nose

Give me, give me just half a chance
to lead you in this corporate dance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
Hu Huu Ha Huu Ho Huu

Sign it all in the palm of my hand
Nothing gonna get in the way
Do you understand
I got a house
I got a jet
I got a Rolls Royce painted blue
The only thing that's left
Is for me to own you too

Give me, give me just half a chance
to lead you in this corporate dance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
Hu Huu Ha Huu Ho Huu

I'm gonna have more money than you have ever seen
Baby I just want all the frills
I'm gonna insluate my body in green (mee too)
I'm going to light my cigarettes with $100 bills

Give me, give me just half a chance
to lead you in this corporate dance
And I'll be dirty rotten filthy stinking rich
Hu Huu Ha Huu Ho Huu

Give me give me just half a chance
To take you on a hopeless romance
And I'll be
Dirty rotten fithy stinking rich

I told you what I want
I want bank accounts
And I want cd's
I want early term roll overs
I want everything!


7. IN THE STICKS

I said hey now baby
Ain't you the girl next door
Reet petite you must not eat
Bet you know the score
Friday night don't sit at home
Lets trek up the bend
Maybe if I'm lucky I'll even steal a kiss
Maybe even hold your hand, yeah

Something about you sweetheart
Well I just can't explain
You're not like all those city girls
I don't think so anyway
And I can't seel a wink at night
Hoping my dreams come true
You're gonna be a brand new kind of girl
When I get through with you

(In the sticks is where I lay)
Hey girl, I got love
(In the sticks is what I play)
Love enough for you

In the sticks
Well it's you and me baby
And I ain't no coutnry hick
But me and the city we just don't mix

Dancin' on a moonbeam
When I finally caught your name
Said you had to be going soon
And I said that that's a shame
Took you down to the willow pond
Where the cat tails grow real high
And in a few brief moments
We waived our child hood goodbye

In the sticks
Well it's you and me baby
And I ain't no coutnry hick
But me and the city we just don't mix

Just don't mix
Go!

In the sticks
Well it's you and me baby
And I ain't no coutnry hick
But me and the city we just don't mix

In the sticks
Well it's you and me baby
And I ain't no coutnry hick
But me and the city we just don't mix

Woah


8. HEAVEN

I've got a picture of your house
and you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded,
it's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that i worked
silouetted in the back.
Memories are grey, but man they're really coming back.

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as im the hero of this little girl

Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
And no matter what your friends might say

How i love the way you move
and the sparkle in your eyes
Theres a color deep inside the night like a blue suburban sky
When i come home late at night
and you're in bed asleep
Now i wrap my arms around you so i can feel you breathe

I dont need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan
Heaven isnt too far away
Closer to it everyday
And no matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way

Now the lights are going out,
along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But im never giving up on you


9. RIDIN' HIGH

I'm living just to live it up
Whoa yeah
Since the day that I was born
I've been rockin' round my block
Just a leather coated lover
With a tattoo on my heart

Now I'm going downtown
Feel I should strut my stuff, babe
Workin' on one track mind
And baby that's not all
Keep the motor running cuz
I ain't got time to waste
I'm dressing for success
I guess I'm blessed with good taste

Ain't no dream you're seeing things
You've never seen before
Oh Yeah
Well I'm breathing down your neck
Knockign down your door, yeah

I'm living just to live it up
Ridin' high
Ridin' free
Gonna live it up
Before they bury me
Grade yourselves 103
Gonna live it up
Before they bury me

Hope the bury me

I'm living just to live it up
Ridin' high
Ridin' free
Gonna live it up
Before they bury me
Grade yourselves 103
Gonna live it up
Before they bury me

Gonna live it up
Gonna live it up
Riding High
Living just to live it up


10. COLD SWEAT

I've got alligator shoes
And I've beeb makin' news
I've got plenty of women
I've got plenty of booze
(Give me a shot)

Walked into the spot light
At the local bar and grill
Find a down and dirty woman
Well I'm gonna take my fill
Look right into her bloodshot eyes and
Scream my honey, I'm gonna make you mine

I paid the tab
I called a cab
Went back to my place
Had a hell of a time

I get excited
I feel loose
I move to quick and I get
Caught in your noose

(And I sweat)
Every time that we touch
(And I sweat)
I get the chills up and down my spine
(Cold sweat) You bet, You bet
Its a midnight stage freight
Ice cold sweat

Ooh we went home
All alone
Then we turned down the lights
And unpluged the phone
Well I'm a snake
But I'm no liar
Makin' love to me is like
Pouring gasoinline on a fire

I feel loose
I move to quick and I get caught in your noose

(And I sweat)
Every time that we touch
(And I sweat)
I get the chills up and down my spine
(Cold sweat) You bet, You bet
Its a midnight stage freight
Ice cold sweat

All I want is a little action
Ooh a little bit of satisfaction
You beat me down
Then kick me out
So scream and shout
And shout shout

Oh yeah

Then I sweat
Then I sweat
Then I sweat
Then I sweat

Sweat, (Cold sweat)
I get the feeling every time
We fu fu fu fu fu
You bet you bet

Ice Cold
