I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy

She don't care what her momma says
No she gonna have my baby
Taking all that I have to take
This takings gonna shake me

People call us renegades
Cause we like living crazy
We like takin on the town
Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and you's a drunk
But I love her like no other

And in the dark we say we don't know
Where we're gonna go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where were gonna go

People call us renegades
Cause we like living crazy
We like takin on the town
Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and you's a drunk
But I love her like no other

And her daddy he says he don't know
Where we're gonna go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go

People call us renegades
We like takin on this town

I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Takin off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy

She don't care what her momma says
No she gonna have my baby
I'm takin all I have to take
This takings gonna shape me

Oh no

Sold it to the farmer oh no
She's always looking at me
She's always looking at me
She's such charmer oh no

Home in West Virginia oh no
Married to the preacher oh no

She's such a charmer oh no
Oh no

She said call me now baby, and I'd come a running.
She said call me now baby, and I'd come a running.
If you'd call me now, baby I'd come a running.

I'm on call, to be there.
One and all, to be there.
And When I fall, to pieces.
Lord you know, I'll be there waiting.

To be there.
To be there.

I'm on call, to be there.
One and all, to be there.
And When I fall, to pieces.
Lord you know, I'll be there waiting.

I'm gon' brawl, so be there.
One for all, I'll be there.
And when they fall, to pieces.
Lord you know, I'll be there laughing.

I'd come a running.
I'd come a running.
I'd come a running.

To be there.
To be there.

I'm on call, to be there.
I'm on call, to be there.
I'm on call, to be there.
I'm on call, to be there.

Strange, living with a name
They get the best of me
But I will walk away
I don't complain
Not that much today
But they can test me
And I get beat in the face

But there they go
I'mma hit the road
And what would I care
I like goin nowhere
I got the rain
The curb's always made of
And make a play folks

So I know I'mma show
It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my soul

Pearl necklace sits a girl
She knows the pretty thing
I ain't seekin to have a safety say
If I don't get this out of me
I might quite easily
End up dead or just mad

Cross my “T''s
Try to dot my “I”'s
But that's just blind of me
I ain't livin that way
I roll my sleeves
And make a better man of me
I might easily just give up on the show

It's my show
It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my show

I must show
It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my show

It's my show
It's my show

. . .



My cold, cold sailor heart says, "Get on your way."
I ain't too proud to say it but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can't change

From runways to the road I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized heart is black as coal
Though beauty it still bring me to my knee
Don't waste a tear on me this my disease

Don't need no strong man
Don't need no strong man
I've run up in your sleeve
Don't need no strong man

Those preppy boys in blue they're making fun of us
So we take it to the street cause we're an ornery cuss
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumbleweed

Don't need no strong man
Don't need no strong man
I've run up in your sleeve
Don't need no strong man
Now get her, go get her

Don't take these boots off me when you thinking I'm dead
I'll still be running from demon in my head
I'll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can't change

Don't need no strong man
Don't need no strong man
I know I'm up your sleeve
Don't need no strong man
Don't need no

. . .



It's changing all to yellow
And it's carvin a path
So now we're on our way

It's takin us some journeys
While we wipe away frowns in the most crowded place
Say why you never call me man you never seem to call now that I'm okay
I'll beat you in the end and every time you turn around here comes the comin of
age

Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party

I cock and load my mergers when you question my mood
Cause you ain't got no taste
You talking bout my baby I could flip you upside down
And I could mop this place

Say why you never sorry no you never seen my calling right in front your face
I smoke you in the end and don't you ever turn around cause it's that comin of
age

Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party

Ooooooh
Ooooooh

Ooooooh she saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party

She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party
Ooooooh she saw my party
She saw my party

I want in, like a substitute
I've been working awful hard for you
But you don't say, you just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet
She's a poor one and it hurts me so
And it's a dark path and a heck of a cold
And she can feel me just like she did before

Oh we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

Push in and I pull it away
It's a hard part but the true love way
Till you want it like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hands
With a potion oh that I have made
For a young man its a heck of a wage
And i feel crazy when I see your face

Cuz we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie

And people say I'm crazy for walking this town
And people say I'm bigger for walking this town
And people say baby let's wander around
And people say I'm bigger for walking a...

And we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh till we cry
Making a song
Making me lie
Happy alone

I want to say it's to me to change the world
Now I want to play today kicking down the door
Now I'll be alright as long as I ain't seen it all
Now I'mma hold you tight to that night we had a ball
We had a ball

Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They're way too young but I'm way too old to preach
They know it all but they still ain't seen the truth
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you

Either way you caught me with your lyin
You caught me with your lyin
You caught me with my pants down

My papa's slave had to go and fight the war
He'd beat 'em all then he took 'em all to court
My papa called and said you'd in the meet
Now he's working awful hard in his factory

Either way you caught me with your lyin
You caught me with your lyin
You caught me with my pants down

We hang even into the ocean
We been running barefoot this spring
We been running barefoot through this spring
We hang even into the ocean

(We hang even into the ocean
We been running barefoot this spring
We been running barefoot through this spring
We hang even into the ocean)

. . .



Home grown
Rock to the rhythm, and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't gotta sing but you got the face to play the role
You can play with me

And all the bros
ry for the girls, that try for tearing this tight clothes
She got a hat and all he has is his asshole (this one too)
She'll be bobbin to me-eeee

And her hair-do
He knows the lipstick kisses, oh yeah that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see

Now take me down
Don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
Don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound for me

Oh the London scene
Cause England's Queen makes you love the tales I breathe
You know the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The King they want to see

Home grown
Rock to the rhythm, and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't gotta sing but you got the face to play the role
You can play with me

And her hair-do
He knows the lipstick kisses, oh yeah that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who's movin you
The only one you see

Oh the London scene
Cause England's Queen makes you love the tales I breathe
You know the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the King
The King they want to see

. . .



Hard times as we go
We know what times will change
I talked to Jesus
Jesus says I'm okay

Pushin and jumpin
Jumpin the mountain range
And in a railroad
Railroad from Hell to Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacin on the phone
Sneakin on the train come back

Awful sick and tired of the gang
She comes from nothing
Hopin for a taste of fame
She's got a birthmark
A birthmark the shape of Maine

While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacin on the phone
Sneakin on the train come back

Awful sick and tired of the gang
And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
And it's cold and it's cold and it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle

Hard times as we go
We know where times will change
I talk to Jesus
Jesus everyday

Hard times as we go

. . .



Well I got
What she wants
Ah her nose
A tied knot
I got one mile of gold
On down the road
On down the road

Well she got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile of gold
On down the road
On down the road

She sang:
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo

She got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile of gold
On down the road
On down the road

She sang:
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo

Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo

She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows

I'm makin eyes through my sharp sunglasses
She's such a brat now I'm packin her cigarettes
I guess I'll take off these great sunglasses
It makes her look me in the eye before she's taken away

So cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
She looks so cool in that new Camaro
So black as coal and it goes, no it go go go

She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows
She blows, she blows

. . .


I changed
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted
Too drunk to surrender

She shakes
Like I'm on a railway
Checkin me out
With something on her shoulder

At the lamp
Fifis in the bedroom
Does she even feel this awkward
Boy I said arizona

I'll go
Stand up to the giants
Said that I'm a fighter
Too drunk to remember
Too drunk to go

( Shake hands )

My face
Laying on the pavement
Tasting something awful
I hate when that happens

And she waves
Thinking that it's sexy
She would be plum crazy
I kinda think I liker her
I kinda think I'll go
