1. Heat In The Street
Late one night I was layin' in bed
When I heard the fron door slam
Felt the steel of a '38
Said "Freeze, boy, I'm the man"
I said please don't pull it, I don't want no bullet
Sir what you got on me?
"Got powder in your hooter, no title for your scooter
And I think you better come with be"
Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there
Heat in the street
Night get cold in the county jail
And the floor gets kinda hard
"To keep the tourists from gettin' in
I'm gonna keep those windows barred"
It won't be deep, but I know I'll sleep
In the arms of security
"It ain't no trouble 'cause they pay me double
For workin' on Saturday"
Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there
Heat in the street
Two months later when I got out
Felt just like a dream
I hit the road doin' 56
When I heard the siren scream
I knew if I could gun it I could sure outrun it
But I saw him lookin' my way
"I said, don't even try it or, boy, you're gonna buy it
Ha ha, this ain't your day"
Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there
Heat in the street
2. Young Hearts
Young hearts beating
In the middle of the night
Sounding like the thunder
Of some sacrificial rite
And the young hearts bleeding
For the freedom of their youth
Struggle in the back seat
Find out the truth
Young hands reaching
For the goal they can't attain
His blood begins to boil
When he thinks that it's in vain
And a young heart burdened
With the weight of vanity
Summons all her strength
To save her purity
They keep asking questions
They keep hearing lies
Don't tell the children
Cover their eyes
Remember the warning
And all it implies
We're seing the dawn of
Yesterday's skies
3. All Through The Night
I ain't tryin' to hide nothin'
We both know what we came here for
Let's don't waste no more money or time
Let's just stand up and walk right out that door
And fin us a place where there's magic
You can tell what's gonna happen
You can tell it's right
And I'm gonna show you
All through the night
I can tell by your eyes you been lonely
You probably heard all that and more
I can show you I'm special, baby
I got tricks you ain't seen before
Not even in magazines
You can tell what's gonna happen
You can tell it's right
And I'm gonna show you
All through the night
Forget about all of the others
Tell'em you're comin' with me
Let them make all the promises, baby
I'll just give you a one night guarantee
You'll never find any better
You can tell what's gonna happen
You can tell it's right
And I'm gonna show you
All through the night
4. I Think You'll Remember Tonight
I look kinda tired, baby
I'm kinda worn
But there's something burning deep in my veins
I ain't no star, baby
I ain't no prize
But I see another lonely night in your eyes
You may not remember my name
But I think you'll remember tonight
If you want to
You may not remember my name
I think you'll remember tonight
I ain't special, baby
I'm just a man
Who don't look quite as good as I used to
I been around, baby
I understand
You can see by my face all the wars that I been through
You may not remember my name
But I think you'll remember tonight
If you want to
You may not remember my name
I think you'll remember tonight
Don't have much, baby
Here's all I got
And even that ain't gonna last forever
I ain't tryin to be something I'm not
I just wanna spend the night together
You may not remember my name
But I think you'll remember tonight
If you want to
You may not remember my name
I think you'll remember tonight
5. She Had The Power
I knew what I was doin'
I knew it wasn't right
But there she was astandin'
In the middle of the night
I've seen a lot of faces
But never one like this
I'da sold my soul for nothin'
For the memory of her kiss
She had the power to take me to paradise
No one can ever take that away
She had the power, oh lord, I paid the price
'Cause she wouldn't let me stand in her way
She knew what I was thinkin'
She knew that I was wrong
I thought she'd stay forever
But I turned and she was gone
Then she read me like a gypsy
Lookin' in her crystal ball
Then she left me like a prisoner
Standin' up against the wall
She had the power to take me to paradise
No one can ever take that away
She had the power, oh lord, I paid the price
'Cause she wouldn't let me stand in her way
6. Girls, Girls, Girls
One in the morning
Need one at night
And one that comes by at noon
Need one that's nasty
And one that's tight
And one that don't quit too soon
I need girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Need one that scratches
And one that bites
And one who don't need a ring
Need one in leather
And one in white
And one who'll try anything
I need girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
One at rehearsal
Two at the show
And three that live in my car
Four at the laundry
Five at the store
And one that smokes a cigar
I need girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls
7. Eagle Flies Alone
Lonely night out on the highway
Dreamin' of a girl I left
A million miles ago
The thunder and the rumblin' of these engines
Write out my story
And they spill it on the road
Some say I'm only causin' trouble
But the truth is I've ridden through that rubble
And I know
The eagle always flies alone
I'm lookin' for somethin' to believe in
Wondrin' just how far I'll have to go
The rain stings and keeps my eyes wide open
And the pain brings the water
That washes off my soul
Some say I'm only causin' trouble
But the truth is I've ridden through that rubble
And I know
The eagle always flies alone
I don't know where it is I'm goin'
And I don't care
Maybe I won't like it when I get there
But the road seems to wander on forever
With the feeling of the wind
Blowin' in my hair
Some say I'm only causin' trouble
But the truth is I've ridden through that rubble
And I know
The eagle always flies alone
8. Keep Playin' That Rock'N'Roll
Don't you know that I was
Sittin' back in Texas
Playin' old rhythm and blues
And then I got a big offer
For more money than I could refuse
I had my chance to make it
Playin' anythin' I wanted to play
Way back in my mind
You know I can hear the people say
Keep playin' that rock'n'roll
Keep doin' what you been told
Save your money up for when you get old
Got to keep playin' that rock'n'roll
So I packed up and
I made it off to New York
Where my brother was a great big star
He was doin' funky music
Singin' and playin' guitar
Johnny was makin' the big time
Everything was goin' his way
Way back in my mind
You know I can hear the people say
Keep playin' that rock'n'roll
Keep doin' what you been told
Save your money up for when you get old
Got to keep playin' that rock'n'roll
Don't you know that I been
Doin' lots of thinkin'
I been tryin' hard to figure it out
Well there's a certain kind of music
Got to make you jump and shout
Now you may call it commercial
If you want to see it that way
But way back in my mind
You know I can hear the people say
Keep playin' that rock'n'roll
Keep doin' what you been told
Save your money up for when you get old
Got to keep playin' that rock'n'roll
9. Foolin' Your Mama Again
Never had so much trouble
With one little girl
Never seen so much fire
Burning down under
Waiting for that rendezvous
That'll take us to the end
Even if it takes all night
I'll get to you
Mama says she don't want you
Hangin' around with me
Says that I git a criminal personality
What your mama don't know won't hurt her
Say you're spendin' the night with a friend
And she don't have no telephone
And we're foolin' your mama again
You know this ain't the first time
It won't be the last
But we don't care
Wherever it's goin'
Got a hunger for this feelin'
Like a cat on the prowl
We'll follow the wind
Wherever it's blowin' us
Mama says she don't want you
Hangin' around with me
Says that I git a criminal personality
What your mama don't know won't hurt her
Say you're spendin' the night with a friend
And she don't have no telephone
And we're foolin' your mama again
10. Let The Music Come Back
I remember when the music stopped
I don't remember why
Heard the thunder of a burning wind
And flames fell from the sky
A thousand people standing in the streets
Screaming at the sun
And when the people started tumblin' down
I was a lucky one
Let the music come back
Let the music come back
I remember how it used to be
But the world is not the same
Hell to pay for their mistakes
When there's no one left to blame
I still hear the loud guitars
Screaming at the crowd
All the people gathered in the park
Standing tall and proud
Let the music come back
Let the music come back
I remember when the music stopped
I don't remember why
It was such a long, long time ago
It's just a memory now
We'll never know who won the war
'Cause everybody bled
There's still a voice inside of me
Screaming in my head
Let the music come back
Let the music come back
11. Masquerade
I'm living in a masquerade
And I grew up in a time
That was quite aimless
No one told me where to turn
But they told me, boy, the fire would burn
But it's painless
They told me what was right and wrong
And they harped upon it much too long
For my taste
They tried to tell me where to go
And don't ever let your feelings show
It's such a waste
Oh, it's a masquerade
Oh, it's a masquerade
I'm living in a masquerade
And I'm noticing that everyone
Feels blameless
Preparing for the fight ahead
Will I come out alive or dead
Or nameless
They told me how it used to be
Expecting everyone to see
Through their eyes
They tried to tell me where to go
And don't ever let your feelings show
It's such a waste
Oh, it's a masquerade
Oh, it's a masquerade
