HIGHWAY OF LOVE
It was late, I was runnin' good, didn’t have a place to stay
I didn’t stop, I was feelin' so good, thought I'd try to make it to L.A.
There was a girl, she said "I’ll put you up,
any time you're passing through"
Got my book - and I looked her up,
she said "I'll be waiting here for you."

I was runnin' with the devil, he was by my side.
Runnin' with the devil, what a hell of a ride.
Keep your motor runnin', I'm a headin' for you.
Better move on over comin' through

I was hot, I was burnin' up the rubber,
I was hot ! I was thinking of my lover.
I was hot ! I was burnin' up the highway of love.

It was late, dawn was comin' up, California comin' into view.
Won't be long, and I'll wake you up,
I can't wait, I'll soon be there with you.

I was hot, I was burnin' up the rubber,
I was hot ! I was thinking of my lover.
I was hot ! I was burnin' up the highway of love.

I was hot, I was burnin' up the rubber,
I was hot ! I was thinking of my lover.
I was hot ! I was burnin' up the highway of love.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

LET'S SHAKE IT UP
Glad to see you made it to the show tonight,

move it to your very soul.
You're workin' hard, it's time to play, let your soul run free.
Music gonna get 'cha like the jungle drums,
won't you rock 'n roll with me?

It's a burnin' fever, that's burnin' up my soul,
Shake it up! Let's shake it up!

When I feel like workin' on some rock 'n roll,
sweat drippin' off of my face.
Get the fire burnin', shovel on some coal,
try to win the human race.
I see your body movin', I can feel the heat.
Say Lord, how I love that rock and roll,
feel it from my head to my feet.

It's a burnin' fever, that's burnin' up my soul,

I GET ALL SHOOK UP
I get all shook up when you call my name,

Get all shook up when you call my name,
You're the kind of woman drive a man insane.

I don't know what loving you will do,
'Cause I know what a jealous heart will do.
I don't know what to do, but I'll try to be true.
I don't know about you, but I know I love you.

Well, take this heart and soul of mine.

So let's see what real good love can do.

Wo, oh...wo, oh...don't break my heart.
Wo, oh...wo, oh...don't break my heart.
I get all shook up when you call my name.

VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE
This world is driving me crazy.
Things goin' on make me mad.
Waiting in the dole queue for money to come down.
No wonder this boy turned bad.
I'm gonna write my M. P.
Say what the fuck's goin on,
All my life I'm runnin' on empty,
Watchin' everybody else have fun.

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance.
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance,
whoa - yea!

See the big fat rich man in his Rolls - Royce;
Squeaky clean kids by his side.
I get the shit, they get the chances.
I get to walk, they get to ride.
You know I'm your problem boy,
I never even stood a chance.
Pent up frustrations runnin' inside me now,
I'm a victim of circumstance.

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance.
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance, ow!

What you doin' for the workers?
What you doin' for the unemployed?
Keep dishin' out money for all those jerkers,
Can’t say I'm over-joyed.
So don't mess with my life,
I've had to scrape and fight.
Just give me some hope it's gonna get better,
Maybe I can sleep at night.

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance.
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance,
Ow ! Victim of circumstance, victim of circumstance,
This boy never ever stood a chance. Ah!

GOIN’ TO CHICAGO
Goin' to Chicago gonna play the blues,
Leavin' in the morning with my rock and roll shoes.
Ain't goin' to no airport ain't gonna get no plane,
Lookin' for my roots that's why I take the train.

Goin' down to Memphis, nothin' left to lose,
Take along my Gibson gonna play some blues.
String around my suitcase, pocket full of rye,
There's something 'bout the blues that aways makes me cry

Tired of getting nowhere workin' nine to five,
Got to get away so I can feel alive.
You've only got one life, that's what they say to me,
Time it is a wastin' when I should be free.

I've done a lot of talking, now it's time to make a stand.
Instead of playing safe, I should be playing with the band.
You've got to keep on moving, you've heard it all before.
This time I'm gonna make it, won't be back no more

WILD IS THE RIVER
I don't need a hurricane blowin', to tell me there's a storm around.
I don't need no chain around my neck, to tell me that I'm all tied down.
All I needed was a little satisfaction, tryin' to put me back on the track.
What I get is a typical reaction, for me there'll be no turnin' back.

Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.

I don't need a telegram to tell me, I got the message long ago.
I have seen the writing on the wall, telling me it's time to go.
I don't need it spelled out to the letter,
To tell me that I'm on the wrong track.
All I know is that a chance is for the better,
There'll never be no turnin' back.

Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.

I don't need a preacher here to show me,
Or tell me where I'm going wrong.
I don't need no money in my jeans,
"Cause I know that I'll get along.
All I know, a change is surely comin',
Gonna turn your world around.
Watching as the river is a -flowin',
Listen and you'll hear the sound.

Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.
Wild is the river, Wild and runnin' free
Wild is the river, the river of no return.

SATURDAY NIGHT
I wanna rock tonight, and tell 'ya baby that I feel alright.
If you think that I'm down, take another look 'cause I've found
Another girl, She's cool! Nobody's claim, nobody's fool.
I'm gone, I'm sold, I wanna rock, I wanna roll!

Yeah, it feels so good,
Gonna love you baby like a loving man should.
Yeah, I'm feelin' alright,
That's the name of the game on a Saturday night!

Midnight late show, are you ready babe?
Let's go ! I wanna rock tonight
Live it up and do it right!

Yeah, it feels so good,
Gonna love you baby like a loving man should.
Yeah, I'm feelin' alright,
That's the name of the game on a Saturday night!

Yeah, it feels so good,
Gonna love you baby like a loving man should.
Yeah, I'm feelin' alright,
That's the name of the game on a Saturday night!
Name of the game on a Saturday night!


BAD BLOOD
I've been running, I've been wild so long
Don't know the difference between right and wrong
Last production of a long hard line
Being born was just the first of my crimes

Roll on river roll on
Nothing stops the flood
Some souls ain't for saving
Can't help being born with Bad Blood

Born in the jungle you've got to fight to survive
You'll never take me dead or alive
Life ain't about living, it's trying not to drown
Gonna rise up gonna tear you down

Roll on river roll on
Nothing stops the flood
Some souls ain't for saving
Can't help being born with Bad Blood

I can see round every corner open any door
I gave the touch to Midas I'll give you anything
To satisfy your greed there's just one thing I need
Everything
Take it

Listening to your conscience gets you nowhere fast
Want to see into the future better look to the past
'Cus I'll be rising when the sun goes down
You don't know me I've always been around

Roll on river roll on
Just can't stop the flood
Some souls ain't for saving
Can't help being born with Bad Blood

WORKING IN A PARKING LOT
Well I took this job when I moved to the city last year
There ain’t one thing I need, I’ve got it all right here
Porsches, Ferraris, Mercedes Benz
A lot of pretty women that I call friends
Wrote back home and said I’m doing real good
I’m working in a parking lot in Hollywood

Found a two room shack I guess you’d call it open plan
Got a yard out back that I share with a post-clean man
Sign read welcome to view, I got no view at all
Looking out the window, staring at the wall
If I could see ‘round corners things would look real good
I’m working in a parking lot in Hollywood

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze – don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills

She was one in a million the kind that looks real nice
I thought I’d ask her for some good advice
I saw you getting out that limousine
Looking like you do on the movie screen
You know I’m an actor, people say that I’m good
But I’m working in a parking lot in Hollywood

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze – don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze – don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze – don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
Outside my window, rain fallin' down,
Call for my woman, no-where around.
I hear laughter, outside in the hall,
Outside my window, I see nothing at all.

There's a star in the night and it's shining so bright,
I could swear it was callin' to me.
There's a hope in my heart that is broken apart,
and the pain for a moment is free.

Outside my window, there's a light burning bright,
and it keeps on callin' me into the night.
Outside my window, something callin' me.
Outside my window, someone waits for me.

How long I wonder, can this go on?
I had it all, now it is gone.
So lonely, here with the blues,
I never knew I had so much to lose.

There's a star in the night and it's shining so bright,
I could swear it was callin' to me.
There's a hope in my heart that is broken apart,
and the pain for a moment is free.

Outside my window, there's a light burning bright,
and it keeps on callin' me into the night.
Outside my window, something callin' me.
Outside my window, someone waits for me.

I feel so lonely, life got me down,
I call all my friends, but they're all out of town.
I keep on searching, trying to find
Someone to love me, let me ease my worried mind.

WAITING FOR THE JUDGEMENT DAY
Can you hear the sound of thunder?
Well, there's a storm outside the door.
You can pretend this cloud you're under, is just a shadow on the floor.
Won't you tell me what you're doin', do you know what lies ahead ?
I can see there's trouble brewin', cause there's a storm inside your head.

Waiting for the judgement day to come !
Take a look around, it's just begun.
Nowhere you can hide, nowhere to run
Waiting for the judgement day to come.

It's the same old situation, slipping deeper down the hole.
Just a little aggravation, burning way out of control.
There's no room for speculation, no exception to the rule,
Don't exceed your expectation, 'cause there's no one left to fool.

Waiting for the judgement day to come !
Take a look around, it's just begun.
Nowhere you can hide, nowhere to run
Waiting for the judgement day to come.

Got to find a new solution, the problem stays the same.
Better fight to stop this world polution, ever flowing to your brain.
It's the same old situation, must've seen it all before.
We expect your resignation, but they're coming back for more.

Waiting for the judgement day, waiting for the judgement day,
Waiting for the judgement day to come.
