1. CRADLE ROCK

Cradle rock..
If I was a cradle, then you’d let me rock.
If I was a pony, then you’d let me trot.
If I was the atom, you'd split me into three.
But when I want to see you baby,
How come you lock your door on me!
Owww....

If I was a baby, you wouldn’t let me fall.
If I was an outlaw, you wouldn’t have me caught.
If I was a tiger, you wouldn’t have me caged.
If I was somebody else,
Then you would act your age!

You’ll miss out if you, leave me out of your,
Day and night, I been trying to make you see that.
Hear what I got to say,
It’s all about me and you!

If I was a blind-man, then you'd make me see.
If I was a deaf-man, you’d give me ears to hear.
If I was a lame-man, you’d give me legs to walk.
But if you were true to me baby,
Then listen when I talk.
Owww....

If I was a cradle, then you’d let me rock,
If I was a pony, then you’d let me trot.
If I was the atom, split me into three.
If I want to see you baby,

Don’t you lock your door on me!

3. TATTOO'D LADY

Tattoo'd Lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.
When I was lonely,
Something told me, where,
I could always be.

Where I could,
Wish for pennies,
If we had any.
You'd meet me down,
At the shooting gallery.

Yes I'm a,
Fair ground baby.
Wonder what made me,
Fall for the pearly queen.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the class bell sound.

From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.

You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Alright...

Now hear it on the loud speaker say,
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see,
Yeah he's a death cheater,
Some kind of central heater,
Be sure to save a seat for me.

Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie,
She's no baby,
The law came,
And tried to close her sideshow down.
But soon she had the D.A. cheering,
The police chief wearing,
Her garter for a crown.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

Sounding good as they can be.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
As the crow flies baby,

Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day.



6. A MILLION MILES AWAY

This hotel bar is full of people,
The piano man is really laying it down,
The old bartender is as high as a steeple,
So why tonight should I wear a frown?
The joint is jumpin' all around me,
And my mood is really not in style,
Right now the blues flock to surround me,
But I'll break out after a while.

Yes I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
But I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

Why ask how I feel,
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker,
Lost my captain and my crew.

I'm standing on the landing,
There's no one there but me,
That's where you'll find me,
Looking out on the deep blue sea.

There's a song on the lips of everybody,
There's a smile all around the room,
There's conversation overflowing,
But I sit here with the blues.

This hotel bar has lost all its people,
The piano man has caught the last bus home,
The old bartender just collapsed in the corner,
Why I'm still here, I just don't know,
I don't know.

I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Send me away...



7. WALK ON HOT COALS

Well I lost my shirt in a card game,
In which I never had a chance,
Well I lost my shirt in a card game,
Which I never had a chance.
The deck was marked,
The game was rigged,
You could not tell at a glance.
Well I lost my job at the weekend,
And I was back out on the streets,
Well I lost my job at the weekend,
I was back out on the streets,
Found a way to get a dollar,
But I spent it on the roulette wheel.

Walk on hot coals,
Sleep on a bed of nails,
Walk on thin ice,
Skate on razor blades,
Got my little girl beside me,
No matter what else fails...yea.

Well I spent it all down at the racetrack,
All the way my horse led the field,
Spent it all down at the racetrack,
All the way home my horse led the field,
But it was a hoax, the mare was doped,
A length to win she fell down on her knees.

Gonna throw away my lucky penny,
My rabbits foot and gypsy ring,
Throw away my lucky penny,
My rabbits foot and gypsy ring,
Not gonna gamble on my baby,
On this loosing streak I might not win .

Well I walk on hot coals,
Sleep on a bed of nails,
Walk on thin ice,
Skate on razor blades,
Got my little girl beside me,
No matter what else fails.

Well I walk on hot coals,
Sleep on a bed of nails,
Walk on thin ice,
Skate on razor blades,
Got my little girl beside me,
No matter what else fails.



8. WHO'S THAT COMING

Tell me, who's that coming?
Not walking, but running.
Cool as the mountain breeze.
Well, that song she's humming,
Could make my guitar start strumming.
Automatically.
Tell me, who's that speaking?
To make my heart start beating.
Really wanna make it pound.
Well, those words she's saying,
Could make even the devil start praying.
On his knees down upon the ground.
She's always had just what it took,
To read me like I was an open book.
There's something burning deep inside of me,
And she's the only one who can set me free.
Yeah....awhhh..
Tell me, who's that coming?
Not hitching or thumbing.
Walking straight at me.
Well, I sure am grinning,
Yeah, she's the one..and,
I guess she'll always be.
Tell me, who's that coming?
Not walking, but running.
Cool as the mountain breeze.
Well, that song she's humming,
Could make my guitar start strumming.
Automatically.
Yeah...
She's always had just what it took,
To read me like I was an open book.
There's something burning deep inside of me,
And she's the only one who can set me free.
Awhhh..that's right.
Who's that coming?
Who's that coming here?
Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?
Is that you?
Is that you?
Well, tell me, is that you?
Tell me, is that you?

Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?


9. BACK ON MY STOMPIN' GROUND

I've been bitten,
Lord, I've been stung.
Well I was cornered,
And I was almost hung.
Well, I sure made a getaway,
And I'm, almost back on my stompin' ground.

Well, it's been written,
Many, many times it's been sung.
Well, it's well learned by the old folks,
And unheeded by the young.

Well, the grass may be greener but,
Me, I just want my stompin' ground.

Yeah....

Well, I hear the river's swollen,
The bridge is broken down.
Weatherman's heartbroken,
But even he can't stop me now.

Won't you tell the folks I'm leaving,
And I won't be long.
Keep the door wide open,
And you will hear the train I'm on.

I've been bitten,
Lord I've been stung.
Well that's alright I'm going back,
To my old stompin' ground.

Drenched by the rain,
Almost blinded by the sun.
I'm too awake for walkin',
But I'm much too tired to run.

I just want to let my feet sink,
Deep in my stompin' ground.

Well, I been jailed,
Last week I was sprung.
Well, it's in the morning paper,
I've been lookin' all around.

Well, I'm just gonna dig in my heels,
See how it feels.
I'm going back to my stompin' ground.
My old stompin' ground, let's go.
