Angel Schaeffe

Once a year - you don't get your kicks
riding down Route 66
Way down south - the Dixie way
is a HOG wild place to stay

Get on your mean machine - free and easy
Ride the American Dream

CHORUS
Daytona nights - good time vibration
Daytona nights - Main Street sensation

Welcome bikers - whereever you're from
(you'll) have a blast - and feel like home
Hi Cindy - little Harley Queen
(it's) good to see ya - how have you been

It's gotta blow your mind - Easy Rider
We're all born to be wild

CHORUS

Well, I might not be a hero
and I'm sure no Superman
I'm trying - to give you - all you ever wanted
'cause I've always thought that love don't ask for much

I don't write letters
I don't work for charity
does it really matter
I'm just the way - I wanna be

CHORUS
Don't go changing me
'cause then I'm not your man
Don't go changing me
just take me as I am

I sure can never build you a castle
but I'll defend our little home
it takes a whole lot - of courage - to be a little bit old fashioned
but if you look for someone perfect - I won't do

No-one ever owns me
I lay it on the line
Don't try to control me
'cause my love can stop on a dime

CHORUS

I was raised in a smalltown - just a little German boy
I didn't care about history - I just cared about my toys

I never felt responsible - for what happened in a war
but they made me feeling guilty - even though I wasn't born (that time)

I remember I was 18 - when I heard the Army call
and I learned a lot about killing man - and drinkin' alcohol

It was like a game of cowboys - the good against the bad
the others were the good guys - I was German - I was bad

Ain't nothing wrong (tell me what's wrong)- to love your home
like anyboy - in the world
Yesterday's gone - and we belong
to a new generation - singin' this song (I'm singin' my song)

CHORUS
I said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
proud of it's people (proud of it's banner)
proud to be free
I said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
proud I was born here
proud of Germany

Well, I made this trip to Vegas - with a friend of mine
some people heard we're German - and they called us "Nazi swines"

Do you think it's fair to blame me - for the things I haven't done
so tell me how long - will this be going on

I wanna know - if you don't know
that you're hurting me and my country
Yesterday's gone and we belong
to a new german nation - who has found it's home

CHORUS
I said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
proud of it's people
proud to be free
I said hey
I wanna be proud of my country
proud I was born here
proud to live in Germany

Freedom of mind - Freedom of speech
Freedom to everyone in the world
Freedom to live - Freedom to teach
Freedom of religion - and Freedom to each

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the southland
I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again
and I think it's a sin

Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
a southern man don't need him around anyhow

CHORUS
Sweet home Alabama
where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the Gov'nor - Boo Boo Boo
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
does your conscience bother you - tell the truth

CHORUS

Now Muscle Shoals has got the swampers
and they've been known to pick a tune or two - yes they do
Lord they get me off so much
they pick me up when I'm feeling blue - now how about you

CHORUS

I've got a rebel soul - no one ever will own
There's a rebel flag - waving over my home
I got a rebel mind - 'cause I wanna be free
so you don't better mess with me

I got a rebel pride - I'm a southern man
I ride a rebel bike - sure ain't made in Japan
I love this rebel song - "Sweet Home Alabama"
and I'm sure ya'll understand

I would fight for my rights
'nd stand up for my dream
I would die for you baby - my little rebel queen

CHORUS
I'm a rebel - a rebel for your love
a rebel for our freedom
in a world that's getting rough
I'm a rebel - with a rebel dixi soul
a rebel for my (our) children
who say "Long Live Rock'n'Roll"

I got a rebel heart - with a beat of Rock'n'Roll
and the rebel yell - is the echo of my soul
and a rebels truth - is the courage to say
Beat it - I don't like it that way

Well I've seen a lot of places
where I would never build my house
I just love to hear the girls talk
with a mouth full of south

CHORUS

Good-bye came - without a warning
I never thought - it could hurt me that way
You've been like - a new day dawning
a snowflake melting - on a sunny day
How can I live without you
God - I miss your smile

CHORUS
So Good night Amanda
Good night - I wish you well
I'll remember you
whereever you are now
I wish you good night - I wish you good night
My days were filled - with your sweet laughter
I'll always cherish - the your memory
And all the nights - we've been together
just holding you - so tenderly
Still I dream about you
God - I miss you so

CHORUS

It's so hard not to think about you - girl
I have built my world around you
but somehow it stopped to turn - without you

CHORUS
So Good night Amanda
Good night - I wish you well
I'll remember you
whereever you are now
I wish you good night - I wish you good night

So Good night Amanda
Good night - I wish you well
you'll be in my heart
until we meet again (until the end of time)
I wish you good night - I wish you good night

There's a new kind of challenge
it's colours are gold and blue
It's got a circle of stars
shining for me and you

Let's all give it a shot
ready or not
it's our destiny

Human blood is one colour
so let's make history

It's just a little step
in mankindis dream
one world united - in liberty

CHORUS
Thumbs up for Europe
Thumbs up for Europe
Thumbs up for Europe - you and me
Thumbs up Germany

So just say what you mean
and mean what you say - or shut up
It takes a whole lot of courage
to kill all your "ifs" and "buts"

I don't say that it's easy
we gotta be tough
so c'mon everybody - we're kickin' off

CHORUS

Lightning strikes - right before my eyes
when you swing your hips - and move your sexy thighs
I can read your body - it's takin' it's toll
like a bonfire burning - out of control
your moves are like snakebites - takin' me by surprise

CHORUS
Gimme love - sweet love
no - I can never get enough
Gimme love - sweet love
you're just a little bandit of love

My temerature is rising - way beyond Fahrenheit
I'm kinda banjaxed by love - your dance is gonna blow my mind
Thunder rolls - and it goes bang bang
I feel you're comin' on strong - like a hurricane
and your alligator smile - kinda shot me down in flames

CHORUS

Who owns the starlight
Who owns the trees
Who owns the rivers
and who's the owner of the seas

We own the words, the love and hope
and the feel for respect
We own the tears, the smiles and joy
too many times we forget

CHORUS
Break down the walls
inside our hearts
and let us be united
Break up the ice
in our souls
and love will rise again

Who owns a woman
Who owns a child
Who owns a coloured man
and who's the owner of our lives

We own the wars, the rapes and crimes
and the feel for regret
We own the sorrow, the wounds and cries (lies)
too many times we forget

CHORUS

Another night
you're out alone
you try to find someone
to build a little home
You've lost your trust
in what you feel
that's why you lock your heart with some big seal

Still you're hungry - for affection
for something deep - you can rely on
somebody's out there - but you are scared to try

When your body says yes
but your heart says no
you're missing desire
so that your love can grow
the fire is hot - but there's no heat in the glow
when your heart says no

Sometimes your wish
is your command
and then you're doing things
your heart don't understand
you hesitate
'cause you ain't sure
but the way he kissed was deep and pure

Ain't no way - of medication
when your heart has got no clue
ain't nothing - you can say or do

When your body says yes
but your heart says no
you're missing desire
so that your love can grow
the fire is hot - but there's no heat in the glow
when your heart says no

Don't loose your faith in love
just listen to the voice inside (of your heart)
sometimes the roads are rough
but you will make it home

When your body says yes
but your heart says no
you're missing desire
so that your love can grow
the fire is hot - but there's no heat in the glow
when your heart says no

Once I felt - so strong about us
that we would never go apart
I always thought - that truth is living
in our minds - and deep in our hearts

You slammed the door - and you left me crying
but that don't matter anymore
And deep within - I feel like dying
'cause I know that you won't come back no more

It's too late - to say I'm sorry
much too late - when all the damage is done

CHORUS

Will there be life after love
another morning
Or will my heart break apart
without you - in a life after love

There was a time - when I didnit listen
to what your heart was tryin' to say
Separate ways - can be so lonely
but I sure did never want it that way

It's too late - to talk it over
much too late - 'cause this ain't home anymore

CHORUS

Love is like a road - forever winding
and where it leads you - you don't know
It can lead you - to a place like heaven
through all kinds of hell - you never can tell

CHORUS

I wouldn't say - that I'm feeling lonely
but since you're gone - there's a hole in my heart
memories - can leave you hungry
for something you have lost in the dark

I wouldn't say - I don't miss your kisses
and makin' love to you - that feels so right
when love is gone - it feels like winter
alone - you just can't keep yourself warm

I don't know - how could I be so blind
now I know - I just can't turn back time

CHORUS
Would I live and die
Would I laugh and cry
if it wasn't for you
Would I feel the same
Would I stand the pain
if it wasn't only for you

I wouldn't say - I'm a good pretender
standing in the spotlight - is a doubtful shine
I lie awake - and the nights are endless
cause you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

I don't know - if I am strong enough
now I know - I'm still lost in your love

If there would be a way - just to make it all undone
I would never stop believin' - that you're the only one

CHORUS

Who'll be a beggar and who'll be a queen
Who'll be a coward and who a Marine

Who'll be a poor man and who a millionaire
Who'll be a man in despair

Under blue skies - we all play the game
But in God's eyes - we are all the same

Under blue skies

Who'll be a Nazi and who'll be a Jew
Who'll be a White man and who'll die like a Sioux

Who'll be the president of the US of A
Who'll be a sinner or saint - I just say

Under blue skies - we all play the game
But in God's eyes - we are all the same

Under blue skies

Under blue skies - we all play the game
But in God's eyes - we are all the same

Under blue skies - we all live in chains
But in God's eyes - we remain the same

Under blue skies - we all play the game
But in God's eyes - we are all the same

Under blue skies

Livin' day by day - your conscience's far beyond of red alert
Bad turns into good - and justice is not more than just a word

Showtime for the Great Pretender
Selling you his lies
He won't be your soul defender The day - you gonna die

Strike back - set your heart on fire
The devil is a liar
Strike back - raise a smile in heaven
Fighting fire with fire - Strike back
Strike back

Hungry children die - and you go on a diet with champagne
Donations cut your tax - but they don't ease the cryin' mother's pain ain't that insane
Welcome Mr. Satisfaction
Welcome Mr. Greed
He won't give you soul protection
Now - you gotta fight - alright

I met you down at Froggy's bar
You were selling drinks to me
But the way you smiled and the way you talked
Was selling more to me

There oughta be a law against the way you look
'cause you're drivin' me insane
There oughta be a law against the way you kiss
And the way you play your games

You're from Atlanta - Georgia
And Cindy was your name
Atlanta - Georgia
The eye of a hurricane

Take me down to Atlanta
Take me down little queen
Take me way down to Georgia
Take me down southern dream
my little Dixie queen

Girl you got me shakin
Like a rollercoaster ride
I'm feeling high explosive
Like a keg of dynamite

There oughta be a law against the South
Raisin' southern girls like you
There oughta be a law against the law
Ain't nothin' I can do

Take me down to Atlanta
Take me down little queen
Take me way down to Georgia
Take me down southern dream

You're from Atlanta - Georgia
And Cindy was your name
Atlanta - Georgia
The eye of a hurricane

Take me down to Atlanta
Take me down little queen
Take me way down to Georgia
Take me down southern dream

Dreamin' by the fire
at the Gulf of Mexico
Somebody's playin' a lovesong
With a six string homesick tone

Memories of summer
the first time we made love
And a promise left unspoken
I saw in a shooting star

The Southern wind was blowin'
as if he wants to say
The words I whispered in my heart
only yesterday

You're my only one - my risin' sun
You're the air I wanna breathe
Girl you're everything I need
My shining star - that's what you are
And as long my heart will beat
You'll be everything - everything I need

The fire is still burning
I was humming to the song
Couldn't think of all the words
so I made them up my own

Like a secret door that opens
these words just set me free
And the promise left unspoken
was the owner of the key

Oh Southern wind keep blowin'
please carry me back home
There's somebody who is waiting
and I've gotta let her know

You're my only one - my risin' sun
You're the air I wanna breathe
Girl you're everything I need
My shining star - that's what you are
And as long my heart will beat
You'll be everything - everything I need

And when Southern Winds are blowin'
they might even bring some rain
But the promise left unspoken
will always be the same
