Whoa, Yeah
When your heart's on fire,
Runnin' on the edge.
Do you know what I mean?
When your heart's on fire, yeah.
That's the only time your soul runs free.
Gotta get away, get a little freedom.
Somethin' of my own.
People wanna say, what I should be.
Why can't they leave me alone?
Don't know if the way I feel,
Hunger is the word.
I can't keep it inside.
I can feel the heat,
And the pressure's on.
Gotta break away, just to stay alive.
And my heart's on fire.
And I'm runnin' on the edge,
Do you know what I mean, Ooh.
When your heart's on fire, yeah.
That's the only time your soul runs free.
Tearin' up the road,
Listen to the engine scream.
Give it all that she has.
Push it to the line,
But never lookin' back,
As I live each day like the last.
You can try, for what you want,
And get what you deserve.
Don't let go of your dream.
When you bet your life,
You can have it all.
When it's do or die,
There's no inbetween.
If your heart's on fire.
Livin' on the edge.
Ooh, and you're burnin' up, Whoa.
Oh yeah.
You can live the way you want,
There's nothing to regret.
Every move you make,
And every chance you get.
When your heart's on fire.
And runnin' on the edge.
Do you know what I mean, Ooh.
When your heart's on fire, yeah.
That's the only time your soul runs free.
When your heart's on fire, runnin' on the edge.
Do you know what I mean?
Whoa, Oh.
Heart's on fire.
Against The Night lyrics - 38 Special
A light on your shoulder,
Cool as ice and bright as lightnin'
Thunder in your eyes,
Talk to me and tell me
I'm in deeper every move.
'Till I'm almost lost in you.
Can you feel the way
That I can't hold back,
There's no limit to
What love can do.
Girl, it's only
You and me against the night.
In the shadows,
Finding love could save your life.
In a world of strangers,
The lovers will survive.
It's all that we have,
You and me against the night.
We should be movin',
Like a thief time steals your chances.
Now we got the fire,
But you wonder how long can we
Keep the spark alive.
If it takes us through the night.
Then it's all that I need
And I won't take less,
For the moment I know you're mine.
Girl, it's only
You and me against the night.
In the shadows,
Finding love can save your life.
In a world of strangers,
The lovers will survive.
It's all that we have,
You and me against the night.
[Lead Break]
Can we keep the spark alive?
'Cause it takes us
Through the night.
Then it's all that I need, And I won't take less,
For the moment I know you're mine,
You're mine, yeah.
Girl, it's only
You and me against the night.
In the shadows,
Finding love can save your life.
In a world of strangers,
The lovers will survive.
It's all that we have,
You and me against the night.
You and me against the night.
Against the night
Cool as ice and bright as lightnin'
Thunder in your eyes,
Talk to me and tell me
I'm in deeper every move.
'Till I'm almost lost in you.
Can you feel the way
That I can't hold back,
There's no limit to
What love can do.
Girl, it's only
You and me against the night.
In the shadows,
Finding love could save your life.
In a world of strangers,
The lovers will survive.
It's all that we have,

You and me against the night.

Never Give An Inch lyrics - 38 Special
In extreme town, it can break down
Anyone who gives it half a chance.
It's a no man's land.
Where the heart beats,
Cold as concrete.
Come to sell their souls
Anyway they can.
Try to understand.
For everyone who makes it,
There's a million
Who get left behind.
The only way to make it out alive. . .
Is to never give an inch,
When you're livin' your life under fire,
Hold on.
Never give an inch,
Never lose sight of your one desire,
You're gone.
Never give an inch,
Take it straight to the end,
Even if it hurts, even if you bleed,
Even if you're down on your knees.
Never give an inch.
Fast walkers, slick talkers,
These are people, people talk about.
The spotlight goes out.
Between the users, and the losers,
There's never any room for any doubt.
You're in or you're out.
For every one that makes it,
There's a million who get left behind.
The only way to make it out alive
Is to never give an inch,
When you're livin' your life under fire,
Hold on.
Never give an inch,
Never lose sight of your one desire,
You're gone.
Never give an inch,
Take it straight to the end,
Even if it hurts, even if you bleed,
Even if you're down on your knees.
Never give an inch.
Some go for desperate measures,
They're under the gun.
I go for grace under pressure,
Standin' my ground, whenever it comes.

If I'd Been The One lyrics - 38 Special
I've been lost inside
Empty space in my heart
And some things never change, oh
How it hurts me and
How it's tearin' me apart
And it just goes on and on
Can you read my mind
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, look inside
Can you read my mind, oh, whoa
When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it's hard to explain, oh
What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain
But it just goes on forever
Can you read my mind?
Have you closed the door on love
Can you be so blind?
Did you think I'd just give up?
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
It hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Fade away
Time can't erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbye
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
To hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Never fades away
No, it don't fade away
Empty space in my heart
And some things never change, oh
How it hurts me and
How it's tearin' me apart
And it just goes on and on
Can you read my mind
Take a good look at my face
Could you take the time
Just to stand here in my place
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, look inside
Can you read my mind, oh, whoa
When I hear your name
Feel so cold deep inside
Still it's hard to explain, oh
What your love meant to me
They say time will heal the pain
But it just goes on forever
Can you read my mind?
Have you closed the door on love
Can you be so blind?
Did you think I'd just give up?
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
It hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Fade away
Time can't erase the reasons why
Count my mistakes and the heartaches
Since you said goodbye
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when inside
You just wanna cry, wanna cry
What if I'd been the one
To say goodbye, goodbye
Could you smile when
To hurts so deep inside
And it never fades away
Never fades away
No, it don't fade away
Back Where You Belong lyrics - 38 Special
I heard you're asking how I'm feeling
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now, my heart is healing
But something's never gonna change
'Cause now I know love ain't easy to find
I let you go, now I'm changing my mind
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
So love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I played around now, I've done some dealing
I found that love should be with you
And so you're gone now, my head is reeling
Don't wanna be with someone new
And so I go, with a feeling inside me
'Cause I know what I'm leaving behind
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
So love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away
I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Want you back where you belong
Back where you belong
I guess in time I stop and think it over
Everything that we've been through
This heart of mine may never find another
Who loves me just the way you do
Hey girl
I heard you're asking how I'm feeling
I guess I'll play it day by day
I'm still around now, my heart is healing
But something's never gonna change

I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
So love, you must believe me

I know I was wrong
I want you back where you belong
Back where you belong, hey, hey
I know that love, it don't come easy
It took so long, it's been hard to find
And so love, you must believe me
Ain't gonna let it slip away, baby

One Time For Old Times lyrics - 38 Special
You're lookin' fine, it's been a long time
I still remember everything that used to be
Like the love, it's always so easy loving you for me
It's been a while now time has got a smile
I see you now love feels new to me
Tell me have you still got a place in your heart
Is there any chance you'll be showing me
One time for old times
One kiss for the love we missed
One time for old times
And for all the love that we lost along the way
It's still the same, nothing's really changed
Still got the look that always got through to me
I see you now, love feels new to me again, once again
Tell me now, has anyone taken my place

See Me In Your Eyes lyrics - 38 Special
I've been walkin' all night, thinkin' of you
The other lovers and all we've been through
We're just too much alike
But we're two worlds apart
I've try to hide it but you've still got my heart
And I can't dream without you
Baby can't we give it just one more try
[Chorus:]
I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
I wanna talk it over and hear you tell me it's alright
Share reflections through the early morning light
Girl, I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
Well I saw you today with some other man
It's tough pretending, it's all I can stand
Pictures of you with somebody else
It keeps me wonderin' when I'm by myself
And I can't dream without you
Baby can't we give it just one more try, oh
[Chorus]
It's not like it's the first time
It might not be the last
You told me once that it's all over
Still I keep on running back
It's not like it's the first time
It might not be the last
You told me once that it's all over
Still I keep on running back
I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
I wanna talk it over and hear you tell me it's alright
Share reflections through the early morning light, oh
I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
I wanna hold you closer and tell you everything's alright
Share reflections through the early morning light
Girl, I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
In your eyes tonight, whoa
The other lovers and all we've been through
We're just too much alike
But we're two worlds apart
I've try to hide it but you've still got my heart
And I can't dream without you
Baby can't we give it just one more try
[Chorus:]
I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
I wanna talk it over and hear you tell me it's alright
Share reflections through the early morning light
Girl, I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
Well I saw you today with some other man
It's tough pretending, it's all I can stand
Pictures of you with somebody else
It keeps me wonderin' when I'm by myself
And I can't dream without you
Baby can't we give it just one more try, oh
[Chorus]
It's not like it's the first time
It might not be the last
You told me once that it's all over
Still I keep on running back
It's not like it's the first time
It might not be the last
You told me once that it's all over
Still I keep on running back
I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
I wanna talk it over and hear you tell me it's alright
Share reflections through the early morning light, oh
I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
I wanna hold you closer and tell you everything's alright
Share reflections through the early morning light
Girl, I wanna see me in your eyes tonight
In your eyes tonight, whoa
Twentieth Century Fox lyrics - 38 Special
She claims we travel in a rollin' jet
But in fact she arrived on a blue Corvette
She almost dares to plush your tail
Loves her daddy's cash 'cause it spends so well
Just watch the way she walks, she's got a double wild figure
Watch her body talk
She's a twentieth century fox, oh watch her walk
She's a twentieth century fox, talk that talk
She got designer jeans, so tight 'n blue
Regardin' the sweat when she looks at you
She loves lights, cameras and action
To the boys on the set, she's the star attraction
Just watch the way she walks, she's got it all up front
Just watch her body talk
She's a twentieth century fox, oh watch her walk
She's a twentieth century fox, talk that talk (ooh)
She got designer jeans, so tight 'n blue
Regardin' the sweat when she looks at you
She loves lights, cameras and action
To the boys on the set, she's the star attraction
Just watch the way she walks, she's got a double wild figure
Just watch her body talk
She's a twentieth century fox, oh watch her walk,
She's a twentieth century fox, talk that talk
She's a twentieth century fox, oh watch her walk, watch her walk
She's a twentieth century fox, talk that talk
Walk that walk, talk that talk
Twentieth century fox, twentieth century fox...
Long Distance Affair lyrics - 38 Special
Long distance affair
Can't you hear my heart keeps calling for you
It's hard to show that I care
It's hard to tell if you want me there
I call your name there's no reply
Don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Sometimes love don't seem fair
Guess I was wrong, thinkin' you would always be there
I must be dreamin'
I thought I had you feelin' the same
I'm callin' your name
Long distance affair
With just a spark you stole my heart from me
No one ever compared
We'll never touch the memories
I call your name there's no reply
Don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Whatever your friends may say
What's it worth to you anyway
You can listen to them and throw it away, yeah
If you're thinkin' how it might have been
Don't think of me like I'm one of them
'Cause friends like that you got no one at all
There's love on the line, baby answer the call
'Cause you know that I love you, can't let go
Baby can't you hear my heart
I keep on calling your name, there's no reply
Don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I ain't got you
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through to you
Tell me it's true
Can't you hear my heart keeps calling for you
It's hard to show that I care
It's hard to tell if you want me there
I call your name there's no reply
Don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Sometimes love don't seem fair
Guess I was wrong, thinkin' you would always be there
I must be dreamin'
I thought I had you feelin' the same
I'm callin' your name
Long distance affair
With just a spark you stole my heart from me
No one ever compared
We'll never touch the memories
I call your name there's no reply
Don't you feel the same?
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through
Whatever your friends may say

I got love on the line but I ain't got you
Can't you hear my heart calling you?
I got love on the line but I can't get through to you
Tell me it's true
I Outta Let You Go lyrics - 38 Special
[Chorus:]
I oughta be shot
For thinkin' that you could love me
I oughta be hung
For keepin' up my hopes
I got to be crazy
For thinkin' that it could work out
I oughta know better
I oughta let go
It's only Monday, and my heart's already broken
I had a feeling it was gonna be different this time
But you were just talkin', going through the motions
You had no intentions of backin' up your lines
[Chorus]
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more

Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more

I got to be crazy
For thinkin' that it could work out

Man I've got to be crazy, some kind of fever
One Of The Lonely Ones lyrics - 38 Special
She once hoped to love again
Hard to cope she remembers way back when
A time in her life a man left her lonely
She stops to wonder what it's all about
She needs a lover but still has her doubts
She's on the inside lookin' out
[Chorus:]
She's one of the lonely ones
Broken heart but she don't let on
She's still lookin' down, don't want to fall
One of the lonely ones,
Wastin' tears as the years roll on
The time passes slow when you're lonely
She stares where she saw him last
Sees his face in a photograph
It's all in her past, can't let it go
It starts her thinkin' how it might've been
They never thought it could ever end
She's on the inside lookin' out
[Chorus]
And when she tries to sleep at night
She reminisces when he held her tight
He's no longer there, he's nowhere in sight
There's certain words she should've said
Now she's dreamin' alone in bed
She's on the inside lookin' out
She stops to wonder what it's all about
She needs a lover but still has her doubts
She's on the inside, inside lookin' out
[Chorus]
Hard to cope she remembers way back when
A time in her life a man left her lonely
She stops to wonder what it's all about
She needs a lover but still has her doubts
She's on the inside lookin' out
[Chorus:]
She's one of the lonely ones
Broken heart but she don't let on
She's still lookin' down, don't want to fall
One of the lonely ones,
Wastin' tears as the years roll on
The time passes slow when you're lonely
She stares where she saw him last
Sees his face in a photograph
It's all in her past, can't let it go
It starts her thinkin' how it might've been
They never thought it could ever end
She's on the inside lookin' out
[Chorus]
And when she tries to sleep at night
She reminisces when he held her tight
He's no longer there, he's nowhere in sight
There's certain words she should've said
Now she's dreamin' alone in bed
She's on the inside lookin' out
She stops to wonder what it's all about
She needs a lover but still has her doubts
She's on the inside, inside lookin' out
[Chorus]

Caught Up In You lyrics - 38 Special
I never knew there'd come a day
When I'd be saying to you
Don't let this good love slip away
Now that we know that it's true
Don't, don't you know the kind of man I am
No, said I'd never fall in love again
But it's real and the feeling comes shining through
I'm so caught up in you
Little girl
That I never did suspect a thing
So caught up in you
Little girl
That I never wanna get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, baby you taught me
How good it could be
It took so long to change my mind
I thought that love was a game
I played around enough to find
No two are ever the same
You made me realize the love I'd missed
So hot, love I couldn't quite resist
When it's right, the light just comes shining through
I'm so caught up in you
Little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you
Little girl
That I never wanna get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, baby you taught me
How good it could be
Fill your days and your nights
No need to ever ask me twice, oh no
Whenever you want me
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away, oh no
I can't live without you
I'm so caught up in you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away, oh no
I can't live without you
I'm so caught up in you
Little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you
Little girl
That I never wanna get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me, baby you taught me
How good it could be
Little girl
You're the one that's got me down on my knees
So caught up in you

Back Door Stranger lyrics - 38 Special
Take my chances, rather go to jail
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well
He don't care, he couldn't give a damn
Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man
He waits in the shadows 'til the man is gone
He moves to the door, now she's all alone
Far as you could see, that's her only way
She fears for her life and what her family would say
[Chorus]
Back door stranger
A fair warning he's out tonight
A back door stranger
We gotta stop him if the chance is right
You read in the paper, most any day
'Bout back door stranger and his evil ways
The law can't judge because he pleads insane
It's a sign of the times that we got to change
You ask my opinion, he ain't half a man
He's as cold as a snake about to strike again
It's a slap in the face that we tolerate
The pain that he causes worries us grey
[Chorus]
Take my chances, rather go to jail
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well
He don't care, he couldn't give a damn
Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man
You ask my opinion, got to make a stand
He's cold as a snake, gonna strike again
It's a slap in the face that we tolerate
The pain that he causes, it worries us grey
[Chorus Twice]
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well
He don't care, he couldn't give a damn
Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man
He waits in the shadows 'til the man is gone
He moves to the door, now she's all alone
Far as you could see, that's her only way
She fears for her life and what her family would say
[Chorus]
Back door stranger
A fair warning he's out tonight
A back door stranger
We gotta stop him if the chance is right
You read in the paper, most any day
'Bout back door stranger and his evil ways
The law can't judge because he pleads insane
It's a sign of the times that we got to change
You ask my opinion, he ain't half a man
He's as cold as a snake about to strike again
It's a slap in the face that we tolerate
The pain that he causes worries us grey
[Chorus]
Take my chances, rather go to jail
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin' loose and well
He don't care, he couldn't give a damn
Deprived of his victim, he's a ruthless man
You ask my opinion, got to make a stand
He's cold as a snake, gonna strike again
It's a slap in the face that we tolerate
The pain that he causes, it worries us grey
[Chorus Twice]
Back On The Track lyrics - 38 Special
Bad reputation, seems to be my style
I've been categorized as a little wild
The police took my photograph
A hunted boy runnin' from his past
Some even called me the devil's child
At seventeen, I was on my own
Had the clothes on my back, from a broken home
Slapped in the face 'til my daddy got straight
I knew it was time to run
[Chorus]
Now I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, I'm holdin' my own, I'm leadin' the pack
I'm back, from a shattered home and a living hell
I'm back, back on the track
First indication, of trouble's up ahead
I saw the flashing blues, I saw the color red
A big commotion at the friendly store
Found a poor man robbed and a kid at the door
"Guilty as charged", or so the judge said
I was sent to school to try to learn a trade
But when the schoolboys laughed I became enraged
I prayed to god that's the last mistake I'd made
[Chorus]
Bad reputation freedom's my desire
I tried to clear my name, I came under fire
A bad situation was a way of life
With a cutthoat laywer given bad advice
The only hope I had was a proven liar
It was win or lose, out to clean the slate
It was some big news when I made the break
And I ran for years to avoid the state
Another chance I was forced to take
Now I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, I'm holdin' my own, I'm leadin' the pack
I'm back, from a shattered home and a living hell
I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, I'm back on the track again
I've been categorized as a little wild
The police took my photograph
A hunted boy runnin' from his past
Some even called me the devil's child
At seventeen, I was on my own
Had the clothes on my back, from a broken home
Slapped in the face 'til my daddy got straight
I knew it was time to run
[Chorus]
Now I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, I'm holdin' my own, I'm leadin' the pack
I'm back, from a shattered home and a living hell
I'm back, back on the track
First indication, of trouble's up ahead
I saw the flashing blues, I saw the color red
A big commotion at the friendly store
Found a poor man robbed and a kid at the door
"Guilty as charged", or so the judge said
I was sent to school to try to learn a trade
But when the schoolboys laughed I became enraged
I prayed to god that's the last mistake I'd made

Now I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, I'm holdin' my own, I'm leadin' the pack
I'm back, from a shattered home and a living hell
I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, back on the track again
I'm back, I'm back on the track again
Chain Lightnin' lyrics - 38 Special
On a rainy night, you showed up at my door
Child of the night, down and forlorn
Still I took you in, it's in the stars above
All girls are made the same, they all need a little love
And the magic of the moment
Exploded with desire
When the time is right, the sparks ignite
And set the night on fire
[Chorus]
It's chain lightnin', too hot to fight
Hot on the heels of a Saturday night
Chain lightnin', out of control
Straight to the heart and down to your soul
Chain lightnin', heavens above
Another day older, still searching for love
Chain lightnin, too hot to fight
And it's hotter than hell, in the heavens tonight
I was livin' hard, I was feelin' down and lonely
When toward the boulevard, a limousine moved slowly
And I noticed in the back seat, a lady wrapped in fur
Her eyes burned through me, and mine stared back at her
And I recognized the moment
As I opened up her door
I knew I would regret it
I'd been burned before.
[Chorus]
And lord it's so hot when the chain reaction
Is set off with a kiss
And it's so tough when the satisfaction
Is greater than the risk
When you look in her eyes and you realize
This time you can't resist
It's chain lightnin'
And the magic of the moment
Exploded with desire
When the time is right the sparks ignite
And set the night on fire
[Chorus]
Chain lightnin'
Child of the night, down and forlorn
Still I took you in, it's in the stars above
All girls are made the same, they all need a little love
And the magic of the moment
Exploded with desire
When the time is right, the sparks ignite
And set the night on fire
[Chorus]
It's chain lightnin', too hot to fight
Hot on the heels of a Saturday night
Chain lightnin', out of control
Straight to the heart and down to your soul
Chain lightnin', heavens above
Another day older, still searching for love
Chain lightnin, too hot to fight
And it's hotter than hell, in the heavens tonight
I was livin' hard, I was feelin' down and lonely
When toward the boulevard, a limousine moved slowly
And I noticed in the back seat, a lady wrapped in fur
Her eyes burned through me, and mine stared back at her
And I recognized the moment
As I opened up her door
I knew I would regret it
I'd been burned before.
[Chorus]
And lord it's so hot when the chain reaction
Is set off with a kiss
And it's so tough when the satisfaction
Is greater than the risk
When you look in her eyes and you realize
This time you can't resist
It's chain lightnin'
And the magic of the moment
Exploded with desire
When the time is right the sparks ignite
And set the night on fire
[Chorus]
Chain lightnin'
Rough Housin' lyrics - 38 Special
Gettin' loose at the corner joint
That's all we had to do
I said baby, when you cross that floor
I sense trouble in the room
And we were rough housin'
Seemed the thing to do
We were rough housin'
Different points of view
Fancy free, lookin' hot and lean
Most any man's desire
I said baby, when you looked my way
You know you set my blood on fire
And we were rough housin'
On account of you
We were rough housin'
We were fightin' fools
Satisfaction guaranteed
That's the kind of man I am
I said baby, won't you pardon me
But I hope you'll understand
'Cause we'll be rough housin'
Seemed the thing to do
We'll be rough housin'
Different points of view
Yeah, we'll be rough housin'
On account of you
We'll be rough housin'
We were fightin' fools
Rough housin', rough housin'
We'll be rough housin'
Rough housin', rough housin', rough housin'
We'll be rough housin'
Rough housin', rough housin', rough housin',
We'll be rough housin'
That's all we had to do
I said baby, when you cross that floor
I sense trouble in the room
And we were rough housin'
Seemed the thing to do
We were rough housin'
Different points of view
Fancy free, lookin' hot and lean
Most any man's desire
I said baby, when you looked my way
You know you set my blood on fire
And we were rough housin'
On account of you
We were rough housin'
We were fightin' fools
Satisfaction guaranteed
That's the kind of man I am
I said baby, won't you pardon me
But I hope you'll understand
'Cause we'll be rough housin'
Seemed the thing to do
We'll be rough housin'
Different points of view
Yeah, we'll be rough housin'
On account of you
We'll be rough housin'
We were fightin' fools
Rough housin', rough housin'
We'll be rough housin'
Rough housin', rough housin', rough housin'
We'll be rough housin'
Rough housin', rough housin', rough housin',
We'll be rough housin'
You Keep Runnin' Away lyrics - 38 Special
I hear your high-heels clickin' down the boulevard
You got your suitcase in hand, guess you're takin' it hard
You swear you'll never trust another man
Ah, but I know that you will, it's just a question of when
So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, someone is gonna beg you to stay
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
I hear it whispered in the neighborhood
At one time you were the best, it was just understood
Then someone came and took you for a fool
The word is out on the street that love is looking for you
So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, somewhere, don't look now, I'm comin' up behind you
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
So don't be fooled, you got me comin'
I ain't no fool, you keep me runnin'
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
So open up, don't be afraid, baby
Is there someone standin' in our way
Won't you tell me why
Don't you tell me goodbye, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, someone is gonna beg you to stay, baby
Somehow, somewhere, don't look now, I'm comin' up behind you
But you keep runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
You got your suitcase in hand, guess you're takin' it hard
You swear you'll never trust another man
Ah, but I know that you will, it's just a question of when
So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, someone is gonna beg you to stay
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
I hear it whispered in the neighborhood
At one time you were the best, it was just understood
Then someone came and took you for a fool
The word is out on the street that love is looking for you
So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, somewhere, don't look now, I'm comin' up behind you
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
So don't be fooled, you got me comin'
I ain't no fool, you keep me runnin'
And I don't know why
No, I don't know why
So open up, don't be afraid, baby
Is there someone standin' in our way
Won't you tell me why
Don't you tell me goodbye, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, someone is gonna beg you to stay, baby
Somehow, somewhere, don't look now, I'm comin' up behind you
But you keep runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin' away
Breakin' Loose lyrics - 38 Special
It was the typical blues, it was more bad news
I was walkin' down a dirty street
Saw a man, I knew some years before
On the corner where the losers meet
He had rags on his back, as a matter of fact
Had a cold look on his face
He was standin' in line, groanin' words to the kind
As I passed I could hear him say, he said......
Don't live your life by the dollar sign
Live life to the limit, that's the bottom line
No guarantees what tomorrow will bring
Be the best at what you are, it's all a little insane>
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Professional man, had the world in his hands
He arrived in the finest cars
He posted up his lifetime success
Every night at his favorite bar
He got off the track, he never looked back
He's an upper class renegade
Now he ain't got a dime, just his peace of mind
And he knows that he's got it made
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Breakin' loose, emotional bruise
That's enough, It's time to go through
Breakin' loose, cut the line
It don't matter what your money can buy
Breakin' loose, breakin' the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breakin' loose, breakin' the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playin' it well
Breakin' loose, emotional bruise
The house on the hill, in a financial noose
Breakin' loose, cut the line
It don't matter what your money can buy
I was walkin' down a dirty street
Saw a man, I knew some years before
On the corner where the losers meet
He had rags on his back, as a matter of fact
Had a cold look on his face
He was standin' in line, groanin' words to the kind
As I passed I could hear him say, he said......
Don't live your life by the dollar sign
Live life to the limit, that's the bottom line

Take 'em Out lyrics - 38 Special
Wake up with a call, throw my luggage in the hall
Go down to the desk, pay for alcohol
Jump into a car, hope we make the plane in time
Smile for all the ladies as we're passin' through the line
I'll be down in the back, where those engines roar
Gonna make that attack on this town once more
(Well) they say we're runnin' late to make it to the show
But when the lights go down, you can sure bet I'm ready to go
Take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock 'n roll's what it's all about
Hit the stage runnin', got our motor's runnin' fast
Crankin' up our guitars, gonna kick some ass
Ain't no use in lyin', that's what we came to do
Give 'em all we got to make our message get through
I'll be down in the back, where those engines roar
Gonna make that attack, gonna start once more
People stand in line, waitin' for the show
But when the lights go down, you can sure bet I'm ready to go
Take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock and roll is what it's all about
Love to play New York, where the people's got some heart
(They got) Lennon's dedication down in Central Park
Finest looking women that I've ever seen
You know they'll love the band 'cause we'll be soundin' real mean
I'll be down in the back, where those engines roar
Gonna make that attack, on this town once more
(Well) they said we're runnin' late to make it to the show
But when the lights go down, you can sure bet I'm ready to go
Take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock 'n roll's what it's all about

Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out

Take 'em out, take 'em out

Take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock and roll is what it's all about
Love to play New York, where the people's got some heart
(They got) Lennon's dedication down in Central Park
Finest looking women that I've ever seen
You know they'll love the band 'cause we'll be soundin' real mean
I'll be down in the back, where those engines roar
Gonna make that attack, on this town once more
(Well) they said we're runnin' late to make it to the show
But when the lights go down, you can sure bet I'm ready to go
Take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock 'n roll's what it's all about
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock 'n roll's what it's all about
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock 'n roll's what it's all about
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Kickin' up, kickin' up, jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock 'n roll's what it's all about
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Firestarter lyrics - 38 Special
You know I've seen plenty like you
Trouble ain't enough
Runnin' your mouth, there ain't no doubt
Thought you were pretty tough
I remember all your dirty ways
You know my daddy didn't raise a fool
With friends like these I don't need no enemies
What's a man to do?
With a firestarer, you got trouble in sight
A firestarter, someday you're gonna see the light
You got no heart, you live your life
Never treated nobody right
Firestarter, tell me who you gonna burn tonight
I remember people like you
Even back in school
Stirrin' up trouble, got your mind in the gutter
Thought you were pretty cool
I remember what my daddy said
Said two-faced ain't the way
I can't see for the life of me
How you're standin' here today
With a firestarer, you got trouble in sight
A firestarter, some day you're gonna see the light
You got no heart, you live your life
Never treated nobody right
Firestarter, tell me who you gonna burn tonight
You know I've seen plenty like you
Trouble ain't enough
Runnin' your mouth, there ain't no doubt
Thought you were pretty tough
I remember all your dirty ways
You know daddy didn't raise a fool
With friends like these I don't need no enemies
What's a man to do?
With a firestarer, you got trouble in sight
A firestarter, some day you're gonna see the light
You ain't nothin' but a big time liar
Never treated nobody right
Firestarter, who the hell you gonna burn tonight
Trouble ain't enough
Runnin' your mouth, there ain't no doubt
Thought you were pretty tough
I remember all your dirty ways
You know my daddy didn't raise a fool
With friends like these I don't need no enemies
What's a man to do?
With a firestarer, you got trouble in sight
A firestarter, someday you're gonna see the light
You got no heart, you live your life
Never treated nobody right
Firestarter, tell me who you gonna burn tonight
I remember people like you
Even back in school
Stirrin' up trouble, got your mind in the gutter
Thought you were pretty cool
I remember what my daddy said
Said two-faced ain't the way
I can't see for the life of me
How you're standin' here today
With a firestarer, you got trouble in sight
A firestarter, some day you're gonna see the light
You got no heart, you live your life

With a firestarer, you got trouble in sight
A firestarter, some day you're gonna see the light
You ain't nothin' but a big time liar
Never treated nobody right
Firestarter, who the hell you gonna burn tonight
Hold On Loosely lyrics - 38 Special
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left
Long years ago who told me
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
It's so damn easy
When your feelings are such
To overprotect her
To love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left
Long years ago who told me
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had
So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly to her
You're gonna lose control, yeah, yeah, yeah
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left
Long years ago who told me
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
It's so damn easy
When your feelings are such
To overprotect her
To love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left
Long years ago who told me
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you had

You're gonna lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control
Hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly to her
You're gonna lose control, yeah, yeah, yeah
First Time Around lyrics - 38 Special
People might say that I'm no good
Livin' like I do
Well, I stake my life on my future
Can you say that you feel like I do?
Now, if there's any room for doubting
You better look some more
'Cause I made my mistakes while I know it
I know you've heard it all before
But it's your first time around
Sometimes the runnin' can sure get you down
It's your first time around
Don't get trapped by the life that you found
If you find your life's at a dead end
Sweatin' and breathin' for room
You never crawl before you walk
You gotta take the bad with the good
But it's your first time around
Sometimes the runnin' can sure get you down
It's your first time around (first time around)
Don't get trapped by the life that you found
The life you found
Oh yeah
People might say that I'm no good
Livin' like I do (livin' like you do)
I stake my life on my future
Can you say that you feel like I do?
So if you find your life at a dead end
Sweatin' and breathin' for room
You better crawl before you walk
You gotta take the bad with the good
You should be lookin' for some answers
You think you have them all
I got news for you, brother
Ain't nobody too big to fall
But it's your first time around
Sometimes the runnin' can sure get you down
It's your first time around (first time around)
Don't get trapped by the life that you found
It's your first time, first time around
Sometimes the runnin' can sure get you down
It's your first time around (first time around)
Don't get trapped by the life that you found
It's your first time around
Livin' like I do
Well, I stake my life on my future
Can you say that you feel like I do?
Now, if there's any room for doubting
You better look some more
'Cause I made my mistakes while I know it

Wild-Eyed Southern Boys lyrics - 38 Special
Its a hot night at the juke joint
And the band's pumpin' rhythm and blues
Gonna spill a little rock and roll blood tonight
Gonna make some front page news
And the ladies hate the violence
Still they never seem to look away
'Cause they love those
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boys
It's a southern point of honor
You got a get right in on the action
You can hear the outlaws holler
To fight for the lady in black
And she's just one in a million
But she's all I need tonight
'Cause she loves those
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boys
Oohhh yeah
Wild-eyed boys
A man of wealth and power
Is out on the dance hall floor
He got a champagne, Eldorado
Parked outside the door
And he's looking for a honky tonk angel
But he don't stand a chance in hell
'Cause he ain't no wild-eyed southern boy
Wild-eyed boy
Wild-eyed southern boy
Wild-eyed boys
Wild-eyed southern boy
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boy
Wild-eyed southern boy
Wild-eyed boy
Wild-eyed southern boys
Wild-eyed boys
And the band's pumpin' rhythm and blues
Gonna spill a little rock and roll blood tonight
Gonna make some front page news
And the ladies hate the violence
Still they never seem to look away
'Cause they love those

It's a southern point of honor
You got a get right in on the action

Fantasy Girl lyrics - 38 Special
Lately I'm learnin'
That so many yearnings are never to be
The childhood illusions
Are merely delusions of a girl that I see
In my mind's eye
I see clearly a vision of how it could be
Me and my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Be my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Now I've had my share
But sometimes I swear that I've had me enough
You end up in sorrow
Broken tomorrows, love can be tough
But my mind's eye
Sees a vision of true love and how it should be
Me and my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Be my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Be my fantasy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I see clearly a vision of how it could be, yeah
Be my fantasy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Be my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
You're my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Be my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
You're my fantasy girl
Don't set me free, yeah
From this fantasy
That so many yearnings are never to be
The childhood illusions
Are merely delusions of a girl that I see
In my mind's eye
I see clearly a vision of how it could be
Me and my fantasy girl

Don't set me free
Now I've had my share
But sometimes I swear that I've had me enough
You end up in sorrow
Broken tomorrows, love can be tough
But my mind's eye

Hittin' And Runnin' lyrics - 38 Special
Your bad reputation follows you around
You're tryin' to shake it, but you just can't live it down
You swear that you're tryin', you're desperate to change
Still you're aimin' for the heart every time love gets away
And you're hittin' and runnin' out on the street
Watch out! she's hittin' and runnin'
She sees you comin' woah
Hittin' and runnin' out on the street again
You say that you're better and your teasin' is through
But seein's believin' and I just can't say it's true
And I get this feelin' every time you're in town
If we're passin' on the street, you might try to run me down
And you're hittin' and runnin' out on the street
Watch out! she's hittin' and runnin'
She sees you comin', woah
Hittin' and runnin' out on the street again
You'll be cryin', so tired of lyin,'
So all alone in the danger zone
You're hurt plenty, you hit so many
That soon you'll wind up alone
Hittin' and runnin' out on the street
Watch out! she's hittin' and runnin'
She sees you comin', woah
Hittin' and runnin', out on the street again
You know that you're hittin' and runnin' out on the street
Watch out! she's hittin' and runnin'
She sees you comin', woah
Hittin' and runnin', out on the street again
And again and again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hittin' and runnin'
She's hittin' and runnin'
She sees you comin', woah
She's hittin' and runnin'
She sees you comin', woah
She's hittin' and runnin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hittin' and runnin'
You're tryin' to shake it, but you just can't live it down
You swear that you're tryin', you're desperate to change
Still you're aimin' for the heart every time love gets away
And you're hittin' and runnin' out on the street
Watch out! she's hittin' and runnin'
She sees you comin' woah
Hittin' and runnin' out on the street again
You say that you're better and your teasin' is through
But seein's believin' and I just can't say it's true
And I get this feelin' every time you're in town
If we're passin' on the street, you might try to run me down

Throw Out The Line lyrics - 38 Special
Whoa
I'm runnin' around in a circle
Never know where to stop
'Cause I'm lookin' for a special kind of lady
Hopin' that she'll change my luck
I took a chance, asked you to dance
Wanted just to take you home
I'm holdin' steady, I know I'll be ready
Will you be comin' if I call?
Throw out the line
And make a believer
Just give me the time
You know I won't leave ya
Someday you'll be mine
I can't give you up
Throw out the line
Oh, won't you throw out the line
So I, I make my move, I might break all the rules
The strategy's my only game

I'm hopin' that you'll feel the same
Throw out the line
To make a believer
Just give me the time
You know I won't leave ya
Someday you'll be mine

So I, I make my move, I might break all the rules
The strategy's my only game
I can't fake it, my heart won't take it
I'm hopin' that you'll feel the same
Throw out the line
To make a believer
Just give me the time
You know I won't leave ya
Someday you'll be mine
I can't give you up
Throw out the line
Won't you throw out the line
Woah, throw out the line
To make a believer
Just give me the time
You know I won't leave ya
Someday you'll be mine
I can't give you up
Throw out the line
Throw out the line
To make a believer
Just give me the time
You know I won't leave ya
Someday you'll be mine
I can't give you up
Won't you throw out the line
Bring It On lyrics - 38 Special
I been betrayed, 'cause I been away
Why can't you ever see it my way?
C'mon baby, you know what I mean
I been eleven years doin' long hard work
We're finally getting what we deserve
I said, c'mon baby, I'm not to blame
I said a one night stand takes a certain kind of man
But we do it
It's a hell of a way, you learn to live for the day
If you choose it
That's why I say now
Take it from me, it's not like it seems
Someday I'll give ya all that you need
But a tense word, baby, you just gotta believe
I said one night stand takes a certain kind of man
But we do it
You know I'm not much at home, we live that danger zone
But you knew it
That's why I say
Bring it on
Bring it on
I'll deal with trouble when I get home
Bring it on
Bring it on
I'd rather fight it than go it alone
The jealousy's got you too blind to see
It ain't fair what you're doin' to me
I say, c'mon baby, I'm tired of tryin' to please
Lonely nights and cocaine highs
If that don't getcha then you'll pay the price
C'mon baby, that's all a part of me
I say one night stands take a certain kind of man
But we do it, Lord, how we do it
I'm not much at home, we live that danger zone
But you knew it (you knew it)
That's why I say
Bring it on
Bring it on
I'll deal with trouble when I get home
Bring it on
Bring it on
I'd rather fight it than go it alone
Bring it on
Bring it on
I'll deal with trouble when I get home
Bring it on (bring it on)
Bring it on (bring it on)
I'd rather fight it than go it alone
Bring it on
Why can't you ever see it my way?

Rockin' Into The Night lyrics - 38 Special
Cruisin down the motorway
Got my girl by my side
We're both a little anxious
Ooo, we got love on our mind
Waitin, anticipatin
For the fireworks in the night
Well I swear we were doin eighty
When we saw those motel lights
[CHORUS]
And we were rockin into the night
Rockin into the night
Ooo hoo rockin
Rockin into the night
Rockin into the night
Yeah, out on the back street
Taking love where I can
I found a sweet madonna
Ooo, with a bible in her hand
She's waiting, anticipating well
For someone to save her soul
Well I ain't no new messiah
But I'm close enough for rock and roll

And I'm slowin down
And she's pullin in
Waitin, anticipatin
For the fireworks in the night
Well I swear we were doin eighty
When we saw those motel lights
We were rockin, rockin

Stone Cold Believer lyrics - 38 Special
I speak my mind. I don't hold it back,
That's how I am, and I'm hopin' that's where you' at.
Like I lay it on the line and that's how it should be
If you're gonna make it, man you've got to agree
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am,
I believe you can do it if you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man,
believe I got things well at hand
Wanna climb that ladder, y' wanna make it to the top,
Takes only one thing, gotta give it all y' got.
Knew a man who couldn't lose, 'cause he never gave in,
He stuck to his pistol well it made him a better man.
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am,
I believe you can do it if you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man,
believe I got things well at hand
That's how I am, and I'm hopin' that's where you' at.
Like I lay it on the line and that's how it should be
If you're gonna make it, man you've got to agree
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am,
I believe you can do it if you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man,
believe I got things well at hand
Wanna climb that ladder, y' wanna make it to the top,
Takes only one thing, gotta give it all y' got.
Knew a man who couldn't lose, 'cause he never gave in,
He stuck to his pistol well it made him a better man.
I'm a stone cold believer, yes, I am,
I believe you can do it if you say that you can
I'm a stone cold believer, not a smooth talkin' man,
believe I got things well at hand
Take Me Through The Night lyrics - 38 Special
Hope the circle won't be broken,
By the way things have to be.
Cause I don't really think you know
What you do to me.
Well it's kinda like a movie,
That you've seen so many times.
Can't get you outta my mind.
Take me through the night,
The lonely, lonely night.
It's a thing I only live for,
Another chance to make it right.
Take me through the night,
Take me through the lonely, lonely night.
A dream I've always wished for,
Hope it's alright. (Hope it's alright.)
Knowing how your feelings were,
I had to say goodbye.
We had a magic,
That you can't describe.
A dreamer's world we lived in,
Of memories I can't forget.
Let me dream of you tonight.
Take me through the night,
The lonely, lonely night.
It's a thing I only live for,
Another chance to make it right.
Take me through the night,
Take me through the lonely, lonely night.
A dream I've always wished for,
Hope it's alright.
Take me through the night,
The lonely, lonely night.
A dream I've always wished for. . .
Take me through the night.
Hope it's alright.
Gotta take me through the lonely night.
By the way things have to be.
Cause I don't really think you know
What you do to me.
Well it's kinda like a movie,
That you've seen so many times.
Can't get you outta my mind.
Take me through the night,
The lonely, lonely night.
It's a thing I only live for,
Another chance to make it right.
Take me through the night,
Take me through the lonely, lonely night.
A dream I've always wished for,
Hope it's alright. (Hope it's alright.)
Knowing how your feelings were,
I had to say goodbye.
We had a magic,

A dreamer's world we lived in,
Of memories I can't forget.
Let me dream of you tonight.
Take me through the night,

It's a thing I only live for,

Take me through the night,
Take me through the lonely, lonely night.
A dream I've always wished for,
Hope it's alright.
Take me through the night,
The lonely, lonely night.
A dream I've always wished for. . .
Take me through the night.
Hope it's alright.
Gotta take me through the lonely night.
Money Honey lyrics - 38 Special
Well the landlord rang my front door bell
He let it ring for a long, long spell
Went to the window, peeked through the blind
Asked him to tell me what was on his mind
An' he said:
Money honey
Money honey
Money honey
If you want to stay up here with me.
I was screamin' green an so hard pressed
I called the woman that I love the best
Finally found my baby 'bout a quarter to three
She said "I wanna know what you want with me"
An I said:
Money honey (Just a little bit)
Money honey
Money honey
If you wanna git along with me.
Well she screamed and said
"What's wrong with you?
From this day on our romance is through."
I should tell my baby, face to face
How could another man take my place?
An she said:
Money honey (lots and lots of that)
Money honey (you got to give me some)
Money honey
If you wanna git along with me.
I learned my lesson and now I know
Sun may shine and the wind may blow
Women come and women may go
But before I'll tell em that I love em so.
I want
Money honey (Do you have some?)
Money honey
Money honey
If you wanna get along with me
Money honey, (Give me)
Money honey, (I need some)
Money honey, if you wanna get along with me.
He let it ring for a long, long spell
Went to the window, peeked through the blind
Asked him to tell me what was on his mind
An' he said:
Money honey
Money honey
Money honey
If you want to stay up here with me.
I was screamin' green an so hard pressed

The Love That I've Lost lyrics - 38 Special
Seems I'm standin' on the edge of time
Walked away when your love was mine
Now I've a feeling nothing gained, something lost.
I've made mistakes and it's no disgrace
The final page just can't erase
I'll ride this storm out
Cause maybe, maybe I was wrong.
Is it just my superstition?
To think I need you to carry on.
Or call it maybe just my intuition,
Cause there's nothing gained,
From the love that I've lost.
Time has changed me, I hope you'll see.
Another way to bring your love to me
I'm like the hero, from a broken dream.
Even now lookin' back on my past
Could have loved you, could of made it last.
I'll ride this storm out cause maybe, maybe I was wrong.
Is it just my superstition?
To think I need you to carry on.
Or call it maybe just my intuition,
Cause there's nothing gained,
From the love that I've lost.

You're The Captain lyrics - 38 Special
I'd crawl a mile,
I'd climb the highest hill.
To bring you back to
A life that's real
You burned your mind out,
With your foolish games
May you lie there helpless,
Will you ever be the same.
You're the captain,
The leader of your ship.
Don't get captured (captured),
Cause you just might never quit.
You're the captain,
I hope you realize,
Don't be a fool,
Better open up your eyes.
I've traveled this world,
I've seen most of it.
I've seen the best ones
Go down with the ship.
Fortune and fame,
They don't mean a thing.
When you're hooked on junk,
That's your only game.
You're the captain,
The leader of your ship.
Don't get captured (captured),
Cause you just might never quit.
You're the captain,
I hope you realize,
Don't be a fool,
Better open up your eyes.
Just a part of life,
That we all must go through.
Gettin' high with friends,
Was all in being cool.
Hope you never see, this misery.
A prisoner by drugs
With no right to be free.
You're the captain,
The leader of your ship.
Don't get captured (captured),
Cause you just might never quit.
You're the captain,
I hope you realize,
Don't be a fool,
Better open up your eyes.

Just listen to me.
'Cause I got a story to tell
That will help you to see.
Well I gave her all the lovin' I had.
She returned it to me.
She walked out with a laugh.
Now I'm turnin' to you.
Now I'm turnin' . . to you
Now I'm turnin' to you
Now I'm turnin' . . to you
Now I'm turnin' to you
Now I'm turnin' . . to you
I can't wait to see love.
Now I'm turnin', turnin', turnin',
Turnin', turnin' to you.
Travelin' Man lyrics - 38 Special
A-don't you know that I'm leaving
I gotta catch the next train out.
I can't believe it.
Cause I'm a-already on my own.
A-Memphis town is the place I'm found.
There ain't no use in a-sticking around.
I got my pack on my back my friends,
And I'm heading on out again.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
I've got to travel across this land.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
A-Lord I'm on the move.
I told you girl I ain't staying tonight.
I got to leave while the getting is right.
I got the places to see, people to meet,
And I'm a-headin' on down the street.
A-when I get to old New York town,
A-pretty ladies there to show me around.
I'll take my money, all I can spend,
And I'm headin' on out again.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
I've got to travel across this land.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend,
Lord keep a-travelin' on.
[Break]
Well tomorrow is coming,
And I'll be on the road again.
A-pushin' and huffin'
While trying to get ahead.
I think I'm getting ready and hot.
I know it's time for a-me to stop.
I need to back another whiskey shot,
Lord, keep a-travelin' on.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
I've got to travel across this land.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.
A-Lord can't you see I got to keep on,
Travelin' on.
Lord keep travelin' on.
I gotta catch the next train out.
I can't believe it.
Cause I'm a-already on my own.
A-Memphis town is the place I'm found.
There ain't no use in a-sticking around.
I got my pack on my back my friends,
And I'm heading on out again.
Cause I'm a, a-travelin' man my friend.

What Can I Do? lyrics - 38 Special
Well I don't know why I feel the way that I do
through all these years, but I still think of you
You're in my dreams,
I have seen the life we should have had
But I'm so glad that the truth is out at last
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
So what can I do, It's tearin' me apart
So what can I do, What can I do
Why can't you see that it's you I've always loved?
I travelled far with mem'ries I'm thinkin' of
Through all of this time thought my love would have passed
But I know now that our love was meant to last
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
What can I do Babe, it's tearin' me apart?
Oh it's been a while since we been alone
And I know it's sad but I'd die for your love
I close my eyes and I see you by my side,
My hopes and dreams of our love is my desire
I want you to know that this love is still alive
So I held on to a lie I had to try
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
So what can I do, It's tearin' me apart
So what can I do, What can I do
through all these years, but I still think of you
You're in my dreams,
I have seen the life we should have had
But I'm so glad that the truth is out at last
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
So what can I do, It's tearin' me apart
So what can I do, What can I do
Why can't you see that it's you I've always loved?
I travelled far with mem'ries I'm thinkin' of
Through all of this time thought my love would have passed
But I know now that our love was meant to last
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
What can I do Babe, it's tearin' me apart?
Oh it's been a while since we been alone
And I know it's sad but I'd die for your love
I close my eyes and I see you by my side,
My hopes and dreams of our love is my desire
I want you to know that this love is still alive
So I held on to a lie I had to try
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
So what can I do, It's tearin' me apart
So what can I do, What can I do

Take Me Back lyrics - 38 Special
Take me back to see you smile again
And the love you had for your friends
Take me back for the times we had
When we joked and laughed take me back
'Cause I know you'll live forever
And I know we're still together
thru' your music and your love
Take me back, oh take me back, Oh take me back
You were proud and strong
You taught me right from wrong, what a friend!
Take me back for the words you spoke
always get me home to the end
'Cause I know you'll live forever
And I know we're still together

Take me back, take me back.
Take me back to see you smile again
And the love you had for your friends
Take me back for the times we had
When we joked and laughed take me back
'cause I'm lonely If you only could take me back
Take me back, won't you take me
Oh take me back, won't you take me, take me back,
Won't you take me, oh take me back,
I love the life that you live and the things that you give
So won't you take me, oh take me back
Won't you take me, (oh) take me back,

So won't you take me, oh take me back,
Won't you take me, oh take me back
There's just one thing to say:
Brother, I love you!
Won't you take me back...

Don't you know that you ain't got
the time to settle down.
You say the road is the only home you know.

Tell Everybody lyrics - 38 Special
Well every night when I come home,
you just make me want to cry.
There's no more feeling in your heart,

Just Hang On lyrics - 38 Special
When I was young
back when life was fun,
I recall the words my papa said.
He said to be a man,
you gotta try and understand,
there's one thing that you must know.
If you want to go far,
well, set yourself a goal,
and just hang on, just hang on.
And if you do this my son,
your gonna make it someday,
Just hang on, my son.
That's the only way.
Well it wasn't long
when I left daddy's home,
all alone with no place to be.
With a great surprise,
it looked me straight in the eyes,
a red guitar and the dreams of a star.
If you want to go far,
set yourself a goal,
and just hang on, just hang on.
And if you do this my son,
you're gonna make it someday,
just hang on, my son.
That's the only way.
That's the only way.
You'll be a star some day.
I say, Lord, let me hear you play.
Play on...
back when life was fun,
I recall the words my papa said.
He said to be a man,
you gotta try and understand,
there's one thing that you must know.
If you want to go far,
well, set yourself a goal,
and just hang on, just hang on.
And if you do this my son,
your gonna make it someday,
Just hang on, my son.
That's the only way.
Well it wasn't long
when I left daddy's home,
all alone with no place to be.
With a great surprise,
it looked me straight in the eyes,
a red guitar and the dreams of a star.
If you want to go far,
set yourself a goal,
and just hang on, just hang on.
And if you do this my son,

just hang on, my son.
That's the only way.
That's the only way.
You'll be a star some day.
I say, Lord, let me hear you play.

Long Time Gone lyrics - 38 Special
Well I been gone a long time
The time has passed us by
And I know it won't be long 'till I get home
I see your smilin' face, well I just can't erase
All those good ol' happy days when we were 'lone.
Well I'm comin' through the mountains
On my way back home
I see that snow fallin' on that good old mountain ground
And I know it won't be long, I'm in your lovin' arms
We'll live together and things 'll be better for you
a' you and me, a' can't cha see?
Woman, I been a long time gone
To be a thousand miles from home
I know I've done you wrong
And I know it won't be long,
I'm in your lovin' arms
Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone.
When I hit that mountain road
I got five miles left to go.
I smell that good old mountain air and old and pine trees
And as she stood alone with a pretty white dress on,
I felt that good old mountain air blowin' up a breeze.
Woman, I been a long time gone
To be a thousand miles from home
I know I've done you wrong
And I know it won't be long,
I'm in your lovin' arms
Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone.
The time has passed us by
And I know it won't be long 'till I get home
I see your smilin' face, well I just can't erase
All those good ol' happy days when we were 'lone.
Well I'm comin' through the mountains
On my way back home
I see that snow fallin' on that good old mountain ground
And I know it won't be long, I'm in your lovin' arms
We'll live together and things 'll be better for you
a' you and me, a' can't cha see?
Woman, I been a long time gone
To be a thousand miles from home
I know I've done you wrong
And I know it won't be long,

Woman, been a long, I been a long time gone.
When I hit that mountain road
I got five miles left to go.
I smell that good old mountain air and old and pine trees
And as she stood alone with a pretty white dress on,
I felt that good old mountain air blowin' up a breeze.
Woman, I been a long time gone

Fly Away lyrics - 38 Special
When I wake up in the mornin'
I look at the sky up ahead,
and I wonder what it'd be like,
To be there, yes to be there.
Now I can tell you lots o' stories.
I can tell you how it should be.
But if you wanna find a good life,
Take it from me, yes take it from me.
'Cause you gotta fly away like the blue bird.
'Cause you gotta fly away to touch the sun.
'Cause you gotta fly away come tomorrow.
Can't cha' see? Lord, can't you see?
Now I can't tell you how to live.
I hope that you can understand.
So when you're down you have to find a way,
to be a man, yes to be a man.
'Cause you gotta fly away like the blue bird.
'Cause you gotta fly away to touch the sun.
'Cause you gotta fly away come tomorrow.
Can't you see? Lord, can't you see?
Fly Away!
I look at the sky up ahead,
and I wonder what it'd be like,
To be there, yes to be there.
Now I can tell you lots o' stories.
I can tell you how it should be.
But if you wanna find a good life,
Take it from me, yes take it from me.
'Cause you gotta fly away like the blue bird.
'Cause you gotta fly away to touch the sun.
'Cause you gotta fly away come tomorrow.
Can't cha' see? Lord, can't you see?
Now I can't tell you how to live.
I hope that you can understand.
So when you're down you have to find a way,
to be a man, yes to be a man.
'Cause you gotta fly away like the blue bird.
'Cause you gotta fly away to touch the sun.
'Cause you gotta fly away come tomorrow.
Can't you see? Lord, can't you see?
Fly Away!
Around And Around lyrics - 38 Special
They say the joint was rockin'
goin' 'round and round
Yeah reelin' and a rockin'
What a crazy sound
But you never stopped rockin'
Till the moon went down
Though it sounds so sweet
I hadda take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
I just had to dance
Started movin' my feet
Yeah clappin' my hands, Alright
But you kept on rockin'
Going 'Round and around
Yeah reelin' and a rockin'
What a crazy sound
But you never stopped rockin'
Till the moon went down
I said Twelve o'clock
I say the place as packed
The front doors was locked
I say the place was packed
When the police knocked
Both doors flew back
[Chorus twice]
goin' 'round and round
Yeah reelin' and a rockin'
What a crazy sound
But you never stopped rockin'
Till the moon went down
Though it sounds so sweet
I hadda take me a chance
I rose out of my seat
I just had to dance
Started movin' my feet
Yeah clappin' my hands, Alright
But you kept on rockin'
Going 'Round and around
Yeah reelin' and a rockin'
What a crazy sound
But you never stopped rockin'
Till the moon went down
I said Twelve o'clock
I say the place as packed
The front doors was locked
I say the place was packed
When the police knocked
Both doors flew back
[Chorus twice]
Play A Simple Song lyrics - 38 Special
Oh my friend won't you tell me what to do?
They don't seem to understand.
I try so hard to make my music tell the truth.
Can't you lend a helpin' hand?
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Well I think that the songs are doin' fine.
Well I can tell what's on their mind.
You lend a hand now I'm doin' all I can
to help the people understand.
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Oh my Lord I'll try, I'll try and try again.
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
They don't seem to understand.
I try so hard to make my music tell the truth.
Can't you lend a helpin' hand?
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Well I think that the songs are doin' fine.
Well I can tell what's on their mind.
You lend a hand now I'm doin' all I can
to help the people understand.
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Oh my Lord I'll try, I'll try and try again.
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Gypsy Belle lyrics - 38 Special
Well I got me a southern lady.
She's my gypsy belle from Tennessee.
She's got long dark hair and skinny legs.
Lord she sets my spirit free.
Well she knows I like that good ol' whiskey,
and she knows what I'm lookin' for.
She's the finest lookin' little lady.
Well a man could never wish for more.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
Yes I know I ain't got much money,
but she makes me feel rich at heart.
Living with this kind o' lady
make any man reach the top.
Yes I know it ain't comin' easy
Lord I ask "Who's to tell"?
If I ever make a lot o' money,
well I'd give it to my Gypsy Belle.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
She's my gypsy belle from Tennessee.
She's got long dark hair and skinny legs.
Lord she sets my spirit free.
Well she knows I like that good ol' whiskey,
and she knows what I'm lookin' for.
She's the finest lookin' little lady.
Well a man could never wish for more.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
Yes I know I ain't got much money,
but she makes me feel rich at heart.
Living with this kind o' lady
make any man reach the top.
Yes I know it ain't comin' easy
Lord I ask "Who's to tell"?
If I ever make a lot o' money,
well I'd give it to my Gypsy Belle.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
Gypsy Belle you know I love her.
She's my lady from Tennessee.
And I know I'm always thinking of her.
Gypsy Belle you're the one for me.
