RANCID |
|
MEMPHIS |
|
I've lived my whole life, made mistakes, |
|
From the get go, |
|
Street kid from the start, right, no regrets though, |
|
I do what I want, yeah, cuz I said so, |
|
No sleep for the wicked, right? No, bet no. |
|
Rollin' with the punk rockers, |
|
I ain't lying, |
|
Fake guns, fake bands, |
|
Fake punk, I ain't buying, |
|
Hit the road, |
|
All I know, |
|
Rock and roll ain't dying, about fifteen deep, |
|
We hit the streets low ridin. |
|
By the time we made it to New Orleans, |
|
It must have been half past three. |
|
By the time we made it to Memphis, |
|
We were crazy. |
|
Tonight, you're our blanket, |
|
And you're gonna keep us warm |
|
Tonight, protect us from the storm. |
|
Huge black clouds and troubled |
|
Time's they're a comin' round |
|
Oh Lord, let me go through another round |
|
Tuesday night is when the storm's gonna settle down, |
|
Had a glance, circumstance, |
|
Stone cold, trouble bound, |
|
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin', |
|
Smoke and mirrors as I watch, |
|
Aw, that girl was trippin', |
|
It's no fun, lost again, |
|
To have your heart broken, |
|
Greed is from a world that is built on hustling. |
|
By the time we made it to New Orleans, |
|
It must have been half past three. |
|
By the time we made it to Memphis, |
|
We were crazy. |
|
Tonight, you're our blanket, |
|
And you're gonna keep us warm |
|
Tonight, protect us from the storm. |
|
Embrace the falling when they have failed, |
|
Every road can lead ya straight down to fucking hell, |
|
Embrace the falling when they have failed, |
|
Now every road can take ya straight down to hell. |
|
Don't want nothing here, everyone straight trippin, |
|
Happier times, are gone, past starts slippin |
|
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin, |
|
Good every night, in a different city I'll be sleepin, |
|
Let me know, here we go, met a girl named Lola, |
|
Is she here? Is she there? Drinking Jack and cola, |
|
She says, Tim, where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya, |
|
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and rollin! |
|
By the time we made it to New Orleans, |
|
It must have been half past three. |
|
By the time we made it to Memphis, |
|
We were crazy. |
|
Tonight, you're our blanket, |
|
And you're gonna keep us warm |
|
Tonight, protect us from the storm |
