Well the times are getting hard for you little girl |
|
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world |
|
You can't remember when you got your last meal |
|
And you don't know just how a woman feels |
|
You didn't know what rock and roll was |
|
Until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus |
|
I got there in the nick of time |
|
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah |
|
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road |
|
The heater don't work and it's oh so cold |
|
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat |
|
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet |
|
You didn't know how rock and roll looked |
|
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group |
|
Half way home in the parking lot |
|
By the look in her eye she was given what she got |
|
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy baby |
|
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy |
|
My my my I'm once bitten twice shy baby |
|
Woman you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep |
|
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat |
|
Can't keep you home, you're messin' around |
|
My best friend told me you were the best lick in town |
|
You didn't know that rock and roll burned |
|
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned |
|
You got the rhythm you got the speed |
|
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet |
|
Chorus |
|
I didn't know you had a rock and roll record |
|
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket |
|
You told me I was the only one |
|
But look at you now it's dark and you're gone |
