I'm back! I'm back in the saddle again I'm back! I'm back in the saddle again
ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon barkeep gimme a drink, that's when she caught my eye she turned to give me a wink, that'd make a grown man cry
I'm back in the saddle again I'm back! I'm back in the saddle again I'm back!
come easy, go easy, all right until the rising sun I'm calling all the shots tonight, I'm like a loaded gun peelin' off my boots and chaps, I'm saddle sore four bits gets you time in the racks, I scream for more fools' gold out of their mines, the girls are soaking wet no tongue's drier than mine, I'll come when I get back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back! I'm back in the saddle again I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol I'm ridin', I really got a fistful I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle I'm back in the saddle again I'm back! I'm back in the saddle again I'm back! ridin' high! ridin' high! ridin' high! already!
every time that I look in the mirror all these lines on my face getting clearer the past is gone it went by like dusk to dawn isn't that the way everybody's got their dues in life to pay
yeah, I know nobody knows where it comes and where it goes I know it's everybody's sin you got to lose to know how to win
half my life's in books' written pages live and learn from fools and from sages you know it's true all the things come back to you
sing with me, sing for the years sing for the laughter and sing for the tears sing with me, if it's just for today maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
dream on, dream on, dream on, dream yourself a dream come true dream on, dream on, dream on, and dream until your dream comes true dream on (7x)
Long ago, in days I'm told were ruled by Lords of greed Maidens fared with gold. They dared to bare their wombs that bleed Kings and queens and guillotines, taking lives denied Starch and parchment laid the laws when bishops took the ride only to deceive.
Oh I know I lived this life afore Somehow know now truths I must be sure Tossin, turnin' nightmares burnin' dreams of swords in hand Sailin' ships the Viking spits the bold of father's land only to deceive
Living times of knights and mares raising swords for maidens fair sneer at death fear only loss of pride
Living other centuries deja vu or what you please follows true to all who do or die
Screams of no reply they died Screams of no reply and died Lordy lordy they died Lordy lordy they died
Live and do or die they died Live and no reply they died
Take me back to a south Tallahassee Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy Can't stand up on my feet in the city Got to get back to the real nitty gritty
Yes sir, No sir Don't come close to my Home sweet home Can't catch no dose of my hot tail poon-tang sweatheart sweathog ready to make a silk purse from a J Paul Getty and his ear with a face in a beer Home Sweet Home
Get out in the field, Put the mule in the stable Ma, she's A cookin' Put the eats on the table Hate's in the City and My love's in the meadow Hand's on the plow and my feets in the ghetto
Stand up, sit down Don't do nothin' Ain't no good when boss man's stuffin' Down their throats with paper notes as babies cry When you're rockin' the street Home Sweet Home
Mamma take me home sweet home I was the last Child, just a punk in the street.
seems like the other day my baby went away she went away 'cross the sea it's been two years or so since I saw my baby go and then this letter came for me
it said that we was through she found somebody new oh, lemme think, lemme think, what shall I do? oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no...
(remember) walking in the sand (remember) walking hand in hand (remember) the night was so exciting (remember) her smile was so inviting (remember) then she touched my cheek (remember) with her fingertips (remember) softly, softly we met with a kiss whatever happened to that girl that I once knew the girl that said she'd be true oh, whatever happened to that night I gave it to you what will you do with it now
get yourself cooler, lay yourself low coincidental murder, with nothing to show with the judge, constipation will go to his head and his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun [ alt: shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun ] no smoothy face laywer to getcha undone say love ain't the same on the south side of town you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend it's the same old story, same old story same old song and dance
fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin' your old time connection, change your direction ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend
when you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street with your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet say love ain't the same, on the south side of town you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around
Talk about things and nobody cares Wearing other things that nobody wears Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year.
Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent Said my get up and go musta got up & went. You got good news but you're a real good liar Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire. Riff 8x, then sweet emotion 2x Pulled into town in a police car Your daddy said I took you just a little too far. Tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied Can't catch me cause the rabbit done died.
Standin' in front just shakin' your ass. Take you back stage you can drink from my glass. Talk about something you can sure understand Cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand.
backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers till I talked to your daddy, he say he said "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways" I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder oh, the times I could reminisce 'cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin only started with a little kiss like this!
seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school and your feet flyin' up in the air singin' "hey diddle diddle" with your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care so I took a big chance at the high school dance with a missy who was ready to play wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin' and I knowed love was here to stay when she told me to

schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy little skirt's climbin' way up the knee there was three young ladies in the school gym locker when I noticed they was lookin' at me I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady till the boys told me somethin' I missed then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor so I gave her just a little kiss like this!
(repeat second verse, substitute this at the end) when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to
walk this way (8x) just gimme a kiss like this!
