Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo
The trick is to ride and make it to the bell But there is a place, sweet as you will ever know In music and love and things you never tell You see it in their face, secrets on the telephone A time out of time, for you and no one else Hey, let's go all over the world Rock and roll girls, rock and roll girls Yeah, yeah, yeah If I had my way, I'd shuffle off to Buffalo Sit by the lake and watch the world go by Ladies in the sun, listenin' to the radio Like flowers on the sand, the rainbow in my mind Hey, let's go all over the world Rock and roll girls, rock and roll girls Hey, let's go all over the world Rock and roll girls, rock and roll girls Hey, let's go all over the world Rock and roll girls, rock and roll girls, yeah, yeah, yeah |

When I was young, I spent my summer days playin' on the track.
The sound of the wheels rollin' on the steel took me out, took me back. CHORUS: Big Train from Memphis, Big Train from Memphis, Now it's gone gone gone, gone gone gone. Like no one before, he let out a roar, and I just had to tag along. Each night I went to bed with the sound in my head, and the dream was a song. CHORUS Well I've rode 'em in and back out again - you know what they say about trains; But I'm tellin' you when that Memphis train came through, This ol' world was not the same. CHORUS |

They sent us home to watch the show comming on the little screen
A man named Ike was in the white house big black limosine There were many shows that followed from hooter to dootyville Though I saw them all I can't recall which cartoon were real The coons skin caps Yankee bats the hound dog mans big start The A bomb fears Annette had ears I lusted in my heart A young man from Boston said "sail the new frontier" And we watched the dream dead end in Dallas They buried innocents that year Chorus: I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V. We gathered round to hear the sound comming on the little screen The grief had passed the old men laughed and all the girls screamed Cause four guys from England tooks all by the hands It was time to laugh time to sing time to join the band But all too soo we hit the moon and covered up the sky They built the bombs and aimed their guns and still i don't know why The dominoes tumbled and big buisness roared Every night at six they showed the pictures and counted up the score Chorus: I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V. The Old man rocks among his dreams a prisoner of the porch The light he said at the end of the tunnel Was nothing but a burglars torch And them that was caught in the cover are all rich and free But they chained my mind to an endless tune When they took my only son from me Chorus: I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V. I know it's true oh so true cause I saw it on T.V. |

Mr. Greed, why you got to own everything that you see?
Mr. Greed, why you put a chain on everybody livin' free? You're hungerin' for his house, you're hungerin' for his wife, And your appetite will never be denied. You're a devil of consumption; I hope you choke, Mr. Greed. CHORUS: How do you get away with robbin'? Did your mother teach you how? I hear you got away with murder, did you do your mama proud? Mr. Greed, why you got to take more than you can ever use? Bring 'em to their knees; isn't it enough just to win while they lose? You bring no honor to the game, you feast upon the blood and pain, But the bones you hoard can only bring you shame. There's corruption in your path, be that your epitaph, Mr. Greed. CHORUS |

CHORUS:
Oh the midnight, need a searchlight. Oh the midnight, need a searchlight. I walk along the rocky shore, the place I lost myself; I search the water, look in the sky, I hear the cries for help. I trace my footsteps down to the sea, but then the path disappears; Here in the darkness, I'm runnin' blind, Been stumblin' for all of these years. CHORUS What was the demon that made me run, can I ever hope to understand? I hear my voice, echoes on the wind; I try to reach out with my hand. Without a light, I might be here forever, lost for all eternity; There in the darkness, slippin' through my fingers, The face that smiles back is me. CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS |

My oh my, what's a guy to do?
The time is right, time to make a move; This is hard to take, I can hardly wait! I can't help myself. Pins and needles, nervous alley cat; I can't sit down, I'm burnin' up the track; Like a runaway truck, I just gotta buck; I can't help myself. CHORUS: There's a whirlwind up ahead, so spread the news; I can't be late, I gotta break, I feel like bustin' loose! I can't help myself. My oh my, ride the wild stampede; I can't let go, I can't control the speed; I'm chompin' at the bit, and it's too late to quit! I can't help myself. CHORUS I can't help myself, I can't help myself. This is hard to take, I can hardly wait! I can't help-a-my, I can't help-a-my, I can't help-a-myself. |

CHORUS:
Vanz can't dance, but he'll steal your money, Watch him or he'll rob you blind. (X 4) CHORUS Out in the street a crowd is gatherin', Pushed down by the heat of the building, they're wantin' to dance. Makin' their way up the street, a boy with a pig and a radio; Little Billy can work on the crowd, put 'em into a trance, For the little pig Vanz. CHORUS You're watchin' 'em dance, not a care in the world; So Billy and Vanz get busy, they're makin' their move; The little pig knows what to do, he's silent and quick, just like Oliver Twist; Before it's over, your pocket is clean, A four-legged thief paid a visit on you.

Don't mess with my toot toot, don't mess with my toot toot, Well you can have the other woman, but don't mess with my toot toot. She was born in her birth suit, the doctor slap her behind, (slap!) Say you're gonna to be special, you sweet little toot toot. Well you can look as much, but if you much as touch, You're gonna have yourself a case - I'm gonna break your face! Chorus Oh toot, hey! Whoa, mama was the same way too, all the fellas didn't know what to do, And papa never had a chance, with a sweet little toot toot. She was born in her birth suit, the doctor slap her behind, (slap!) Said you're gonna to be special, you sweet little toot toot. Chorus |

I want the world to know (I want the world to know) Yeah! (yeah!) yeah! (yeah!) yeah! (yeah!) That I (you!), that I (you!), that iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! (aaaaaaaaaaah, you!) I confeh-heh-hess. Mercy, mercy baby! I done you wrong. Had my share of wine, women and song, want you back here in my arms, My days are empty without you baby, wasted time turns into years, My pillow is soakin' wet baby, with all my cryin' tears. Built a home in detroit, cattle in texas, Way up in the san francisco bay, I got apartments in new orleans, skyscrapers in new york, But if you're honest baby, you sound lonely, and I'm alone. Matilda! (I don't believe she hears ya) Matilda! (ya gotta call a little bit louder) Matilda! (a just a little bit louder) Matilda! (lord, a little bit louder) Matilda! (I believe, she might hear ya now) Matilda! (just say it again, now) Matilda! (do it one more time!) Matilda! (I believe she hears you) Hey, hey, matilda! (whoa, a little bit louder!) Matilda! (just a little bit louder now) Matilda! (I believe she hears you now) Matilda! (I believe she hears you now) Matilda! (here she comes! here she comes!) Matilda! (I believe she heard you now) |
