1. LONG WAY FROM HOME

I would do anything I could to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
To be at your side
My heart is aching for love,
My body's shaking with desire
Believe me, baby, when I say
I will drink you dry

I would do anything to be near you,
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do

I'd been looking for love for so long when I found you,
Too many years I walked alone
When I touch you inside I feel you burning me with fire,
Believe me baby when I say
I will feed the flame

I would do anything to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do

I would do anything to be near you,
You're everything any man could claim
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do

I would do anything I could to be near you,
Check in on any night time flight, I don't mind
My heart is aching for love,
My body's shaking with desire
Believe me baby when I say
I will drink you dry

I would do anything to be near you,
Walk all night in the pouring rain
I see your face in the night,
I hear you calling my name

But, it's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do

It's a long long way from home,
I'm just trying to get a message to you,
It's a long long way from home,
An' I don't know what I'm gonna do,
It's a long long way from home


2. WALKING IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES

I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do?
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you

I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues

I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues


3. HELP ME THRO' THE DAY

Help me through the day,
Help me through the night
Baby your sweet loving
Will make everything all right

Help me through tomorrow
When stormy weather comes
Lord make me realize
That you're my woman

I can see so much pain
Deep inside your eyes
I know the feeling,
Someone hurts you
When someone makes you cry

Help me through the day,
Help me through the night
Babe you make me realize
You're my woman

Help me through the day,
Help me through the night
Baby your sweet loving
Will make everything all right

Help me through tomorrow
When stormy weather comes
Lord make me realize
You're my woman,
You're my woman

Help me through the day
And be my woman,
Help me through the night
And be my woman...


4. MEDICINE MAN

You never leave her alone,
I can see you never learn
When you're playing with fire,
You get your fingers burned
There ain't no use in crying,
Baby don't delay,
You can call your doctor,
I'll be there right away

I'm the medicine man,
Your doctor of love
Medicine man,
Doctor of love

When there's a feeling inside,
That just can't be denied,
I will be your medicine man

Now don't you ever worry,
If you feel the fever rise,
You'll never fool nobody,
When there's fire in your eyes
There ain't no use denying,
When you need it deep inside
You've got your witch doctor
To keep you satisfied

I'm the medicine man,
Your doctor of love
Medicine man,
Doctor of love

When there's a feeling inside,
That just can't be denied,
I will be your medicine man.

You never leave her alone,

When you're playing with fire,
You get your fingers burned
There ain't no use in crying,
Baby don't delay,
You can call your doctor,
I'll be there right away

I'm the medicine man,
Your doctor of love
Medicine man,
Doctor of love

When there's a feeling inside,
That just can't be denied,
I will be your medicine man
Your doctor of love
I'm medicine man,
Doctor of love...


5. YOU 'N' ME

Well it's five in the morning
When will you be home,
I'm tired of waiting here baby
All on my own
All I got for comfort is some cheap red wine
But, the thought of what you're doing gives me no peace of mind

You 'n' me, it's got to be just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
Can't you see what you're doing to me

I know those page three girls
In the playboy books,
Ain't got nothing on you
In the way that you look
But, an eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
When you get home
You better give me some truth

Tell me no lies
When I ask you the questions,
Tell the truth
Your lies ain't gonna make it no more
Tell me no lies,
Baby you're no exception to the rule,
Because I've heard it all before
And babe believe me I never forget

You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
If you don't stop what you're doing to me
I'm gonna do it to you

Tell me no lies
When I ask you the questions,
Tell the truth
Your lies ain't gonna make it no more
Tell me no lies,
Baby you're no exception to the rule,
Because I've heard it all before
And babe believe me, I never forget

You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
Can't you see what you're doing to me

You 'n' me, baby baby
Just you 'n' me,
Can't you see, baby
If you don't stop what you're doing to me,
I'm gonna do it to you!


6. MEAN BUSINESS

You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancer

I've got my love gun loaded,
I've got you in my sight,
I never take no for an answer,
So you'd better say yes tonight
I told you the score
Right from the start,
You'll never get to heaven
If you break my heart

So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me

You say you want my money,
I say you've got no sense,
If you just want to bleed me dry
Stay on your side of the fence
No mercy you can see
'Cos seven to eleven made a fool out of me

So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me

You're taking a walk on the wild side
If you're gonna take a chance with me,
I'm gonna make you take a look on the inside
And you might not like what you see
So don't you knock on my door
If you don't want an answer
Or gimme a beat
If you don't want a dancer

So if you don't mean business
Knock on someone else's door,
'Cos it's a mean mean business
Staying alive if you fool with me...


7. LOVEHUNTER

I need a woman to treat me good
And give me everything a good woman should
Everyday and every night
She'd be waiting on her brown-eyed boy
To come and treat her right

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you

In my time I've been a back door man,
I've taken everything I could
But, I've given all I can
I don't want no woman
To weep or moan,
I'm looking for a sweet heartbreaker
And I'm never gonna leave her alone

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you

'Cos I'm a love hunter baby,
I'm a love hunter baby...

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you

I'm sneaking up on you!


8. OUTLAW

When I left my home
I was not much more than a child,
My mother started crying
She knew that I was born to be wild

'Cos I was looking for the bright lights of the big city,
A red hot town where the girls are pretty

I took to the highway,
Chasing my dream down the line
Heading out for trouble,
Never finding my peace of mind
'Cos I been run out of town so many times before
An' usually kind of places where I can't go back no more

Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun

I never find it easy trying to keep the feeling alive,
I've always been a dreamer,
Dreamers find it hard to survive
When they're living in the bright lights of the big city,
A red hot town where the girls are pretty

Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun

Outlaw - born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Born outside of the law,
Just another outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Outlaw, outlaw,
Man on the run will always take chances for fun


9. ROCK 'N' ROLL WOMEN

I'm goin' looking for a woman
With the night in her eyes,
Someone to take all the small talk
And laugh at the lies
A high heeled double trouble backstage queen,
Who gets what she wants
And knows where she's been

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand
So I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

You can see in my face
Just what I'm hoping to find,
I want a twelve bar beauty
With a one track mind
I don't drive babe, but, I can steer,
We got the green light let's get out of here

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand
So I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

When I saw you across the floor,
I could feel I wanted more
I get lonely in the night,
I would do anything, anything you say,
Do anything to take the pain away
So those lonely nights will be alright,
Don't worry honey, we can put out the light
I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

So I'm looking for a woman who got no shame,
'Cos in the morning there'll be no one to blame.
A high heeled double trouble backstage queen,
Who gets what she wants and knows where she's been.

Alright show your hand,
I'm looking for the promise of a one night stand
So I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight,
I said I'm going looking for those rock 'n' roll women tonight

Rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
Rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away
Rock 'n' roll women, I said rock 'n' roll women,
I said rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away

Rock 'n' roll women...

Talkin' 'bout rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
Rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away
Rock 'n' roll women, rock 'n' roll women,
I said rock 'n' roll women gonna steal my heart away...


10. WE WISH YOU WELL

I'm sad to say it's time to go
But, until we meet again along the road
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder roar you're not alone

We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong
We wish you well, we wish you well,

Until we meet again,
We wish you well...

11. LOVE TO KEEP YOU WARM

If you want love,
You gotta be cool
And if you deny it,
Then baby you're a fool
I'm telling you now,
Don't you hide it away
Because you need to keep you warm both night and day

I could come home
Late at night
And after some loving,
Baby, it would be alright
I've given up trying
Lying my way
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

You gotta have love

If you want schooling baby
I'll be around,
I'm ready for fooling
But, don't hang around
And every morning I know I will say
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day

I said baby, if you need my love
You better come home with me
Maybe if you want my love,
You know you got it easily
But, when the sun goes down
And the night is cold,
You know I won't be far away
Because you need love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
You gotta have love to keep you warm both night and day,
I said you need love to keep you warm both night and day


12. AIN'T NO LOVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
Woman, to the county line, an' that's why

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around,
'Cos you ain't around.


13. TROUBLE

I was raised a gambler's son
And before I could walk,
I had to learn how to run
And I never, never ever
Played a loaded dice
But, I rolled a lot of women
With a heart as cold as ice

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Always coming my way,
Trouble always coming my way

Baby I'm lonely, I'm out of control,
I need someone to understand
The badness in my soul
Though I never, I never
Stole another man's wife
But, I fooled around plenty enough
And I got what I paid for

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way

Trouble

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way

Trouble always coming my way, trouble always coming...
