Good Thing Goin'

Are you ready for a piece of the action
It’s time to get your satisfaction
’Cause when you feel the urge is growing
You got yourself a good thing goin’
Come on baby, let’s get on board now
The bus is leaving, better buckle up now
And when it’s all cookin’ and sweat starts flowing
You got yourself a good thing goin’
SOLO
Are you ready to feed your soul yeah
The name of the game is rock and roll yeah
Bodies burning, amps are blowing
And you got yourself a good thing goin’
SOLO

Face Another Day
04:47
|
|||
|
There's been so many words unspoken
And thing left unsaid
There's been so many young hearts broken
And souls left for dead
They say that time can heal the deepest wounds
But when time ain't on your side
Who's gonna lighten up your gloom
Chorus
If I could turn away
From where I'm bound to stay
I'll get down on my knees and pray
And face another day
I've seen so many grand illusions
Created in my mind
Stuck in a world of mass confusion
Walking a thin line
Nobody told me life could be this cruel
But when I try to get by
I find that I'm the greater fool
Chorus rep.

A Little Bit O' Lovin'
03:40
|
|||
|
I’ve been sad, I’ve been so lonely
Don’t know why nobody told me
Since you left me, child
I need someone to hold me
I’ve been cold, I feel like I’m dyin’
Please believe me, you know I ain’t lyin’
You know I need your touch
To keep my soul from cryin’
Chorus
A little bit o’ lovin’ would do me good
A little bit o’ holdin’ tight like only you could
Give it to me baby, in your own special way
An’ I’ll give it back to you each and every day
SOLO
Chorus rep.
I’ve been sad, I’ve been so lonely
Don’t know why nobody told me
Since you left me, child
I need someone to hold me
I need someone to hold me
I need someone to hold me

Rollin' Home
06:14
|
|||
|
The songs that I’m singing ain’t nothing at all
Like the words coming out of my mouth
And the freedom they give you behind locked doors
Is a freedom you can do without
Now, it’s so easy to cry over you
But it’s harder to see you go
When it feels like forever is a lifetime away
It’s just around the corner you know
Chorus
Well, I may be a little bit wiser
And I may be a little bit stoned
But wherever I go and whatever I do
I’ll always be rollin’ home
The dreams you’ve been dreaming can scare you sometimes
And leave you afraid and alone
But there’s no need to worry, there’s always someone
To comfort you when you’re on your own
Like a child in a sandpit with tear stained eyes
You feel like there’s nowhere to hide
But if you only follow me I’m sure that we’ll find
A way out of this neverending night
Chorus rep.
SOLO
Now, it’s so easy to cry over you
But it’s harder to see you go
When it feels like forever is a lifetime away
It’s just around the corner you know

Never Gonna Run
04:09
|
|||

Your mama says I’m not your kind of man
Your papa says I’ll never understand
They say my life is slippin’ down the drain
And I’m as useful as bikini in the rain
But I think you know me better
I’m sure we belong together
And just so you know
Chorus 1
I’m never gonna leave you dying
I’ll make you happy when you’re crying
I’m never gonna run, never gonna hide
Your friends laugh at me behind my back
They wanna see me tied to a railroad track
Your brothers and your sisters will have their fun
They got a hitman ready with a loaded gun
Well, I know my clothes are dirty
And I might not be worthy
But just so you know
Chorus 2
I’m never gonna leave you dying
I’ll make you happy when you’re crying
I’m never gonna run, never gonna hide
I’m always gonna be beside you
I’ll always come along to guide you
I’m never gonna run, never gonna hide

You Get Me Down
03:53
|
|||
|
I’m gonna scream
Cause I can’t help it anymore
It’s all a dream
I can’t get you at all
Chorus
You spin me ’round
Like a wheel on a bus
You get me down
I wanna run
But I can’t catch you anyway
You think it’s fun
So maybe I’ll just go away
Chorus rep.
SOLO
I’m in a trap
Falling down to the ground
I think it’s crap
I’m in the lost & found
Chorus rep.

Why Did You Love Me?
04:03
|
|||
|
Some days were bad - most days were good
Some days I think I misunderstood
All of those days - were they in vain?
Or will they ever come back again?
I don't wanna say goodbye now
I'll just hang my head and cry now
Chorus
Why did you love me, why did you care?
Why did you tell me you'd always be there?
I can't find no reason, what was your game?
Why did you love me when you hurt me just the same?
You tried to explain why this had to be
But nothing really makes sense to me
That promise we made, it just seemed so true
So tell me what has happened to you
I don't wanna live without you
I just want my arms around you
Chorus rep.
It would be easier I know
To let the whole thing go
If you hadn't made me believe
That we were meant to be
SOLO
I didn't know love 'till I found you
I didn't know pain 'till I lost you
And if I could turn back time now
We'd be in Paradise now
Chorus rep.

The Sinner
06:26
|
|||
|
I’ve been trying to lead the life of a righteous man
Stear clear of temptation the best I could
But everywhere I go nobody seems to understand
They look me up and down and say I’m no good
There’s been days in my life where I’m almost gone
Lost without guidance or so it seems
I’ve been looking for salvation where there is none
These visions of hell haunting my dreams
Chorus 1
People talking - no one knows me
And they all call me the sinner
Preacherman tells me I’m goin’ nowhere
The devil has a seat picked out for me
My daddy doesn’t know me, my mama don’t care
But the sinful life I lead has set me free
Chorus 2
People talking - no one knows me
And they all call me the sinner
Whiskey bottles - shady ladies
Come to the hand of the sinner
SOLO
Now someday soon I know I’m gonna go away
The end is now in sight for this poor man
But will I see the heavens on that final day
Or spend eternity as the devil’s right hand
Chorus 2 rep. x2
SOLO

Catwalk Katie

Catwalk Katie from Misery Lane
Sweet as sugar, but she'll drive you insane
She’ll turn your head in the wink of an eye
But everybody loves her
They call her danger with the face of a queen
She aims to please, if you know what I mean
Red hot mama with an innocent glow
And everybody loves her
Chorus
All the boys know her wicked ways
They throw it off with a smile
You see them waiting outside her place
Hoping just to stay a while
SOLO
Chorus rep.
Catwalk Kaite, mistress of sin
If you’re nice she might let you in
But she always leaves you screaming for more
And everybody loves her
SOLO

Hard Rain
08:25
|
|||
|
Sunlight hits the city, another day is born
Birds are gently singing, the world is moving on
No more crying voices, the sky’s no longer grey
But those left here remember what happened yesterday
They came without a warning, screaming metal birds
Pointless devastation and left without a word
The soldier’s pride and glory was no longer in the game
Let the strong ones survive now and the dead ones take the blame
Chorus
Don’t you cry child, a new day has begun
Another chance is waiting for you now
Open your eyes, see the madness is gone
And we just gotta carry on somehow
Yes, we just gotta carry on somehow
The noise is dead and gone now, silence is all you hear
But still you feel a tension of agony and fear
The streets are all deserted, the air is filled with doubt
And questions in their sad eyes are longing to get out
The martyrs are forgotten, they didn’t stand a chance
And no hard rain can ever wash the blood from their hands
The children in the ruins, now they know about the lies
But nothing will ever compensate for the hate that’s in their eyes
Chorus rep.
SOLO
Chorus rep.
All in your mind, pulling you under
It’s all in your mind
The guns and the thunder will never stop
Eye for an eye, fight until you drop
All in your mind, sweet smell of danger
It’s all in your mind
The cries of a stranger, they’re calling you
Drop to your knees, whatcha gonna do
SOLO
