1. Behind The Eight-Ball
Been pacin' down these halls
'Bout half the night
Thinkin' how I'm gonna keep this high
With no lines in sight
Called up everyone
They said I'm out of luck
Already spent my pay
And I don't give a fuck
Ya know I really don't
I'm just another one
Behind the eight ball
I'm just another one
Behind the eight ball
Went down to the local bar
To see what I could find
Oh my god, it's Johnny Wadd
He'll take care of me tonight
I said I'll be your friend
Your friend 'til the end
But when that last line's gone
This friendship's dead
Ya know what I'm sayin'?
2. Ready To Roll
Hot lookin' lady
Dancin' out on the floor
Movin' to the left
To the right
I want some more
You're lookin' good
But you're to far away
So come a little bit
Closer my way
Hot love
Burnin' like a flame in the night
'Cause I'm ready
I'm ready to roll
I'm ready
I'm ready to roll
Sittin' in my hotel
Waitin' for you after the show
Ya said you'd take me
Out on the town
Show me what you know
We stayed out all night long
Ya know we
Made it feel like
There was no tomorrow
But now I'm back on the town
With the time I borrowed
We stayed out all night long
Ya know we
Made it feel like
There was no tomorrow
But now I'm back on the town
With the time I borrowed
3. Take It To The Highway
I know what I want
I know what I need
Ain't no doubt about it
She's my company
I feel right inside her
'Cause she's so mean to me
The engine sounds like thunder
There's only one place to be
Take it to the highway
'Cause it's the only way
Take it to the highway
'Cause it's the only way
Take it down the backroads
I leave it all behind
The people and the places that I
Have to be on time
Well I don't want to hear it
Your talk and all your lies
When I need to get around
Ya know where I'll be found
Take it down the backroads
I leave it all behind
The people and the places that I
Have to be on time
I don't want to hear it
Your talk and all your lies
When I need to get away
There's only one place to be
4. (You Don't Keep Me) Satisfied
In the morning
Don't say you care
'Cause you wanna keep me to yourself
And I don't wanna share
Always pushin'
'Cause that's your style
Well there's only so much time for you
And I got better things I need to do
'Cause you don't
You don't keep me satisfied
You don't, you don't keep me
Hit the nightlife, I lost control
Now there's trouble
Walking in the streets of Rock`n'Roll
Hangin' with the guys
Well I told her just to get away
Now there's nothing left
For me to say
5. The Fire's Burning
You say you want love
But you're scared to try
I know you too well
You say you can't give
What you never had
You know I can tell
'Cause your love is slowly fading
So far you can't get back now
Your love is slowly fading
The fire's burning
Out of control
Don't ever let me go
The fire's burning
Out of control
Don't ever let me go
Well I remember
The game you always played
I know you too well
But when it comes down
To finally letting go
You know I'll be there
Your love is slowly fading
So far you can't get back now
Your love is slowly fading
6. Let Go
You're stayin' home all of the time
And what you're doin'
It's gonna make you blind, yeah
You tell yourself you ain't got a friend
Look at you, feelin' sorry 'til
The bitter end
Well you better hold on
'Cause it ain't over
Just let the music
Take you away
Let go
C'mon let go, yeah
Let go
C'mon let go, yeah
You never talk, don't take a stand
This boy's never gonna be a man
Years ago, ya just didn't know
It's comin' time
Someone's got to tell you so
You better hold on
'Cause it ain't over
Just let the music
Take you away
Well you better hold on
'Cause it ain't over
Just let the music
Take you away
7. Open All Night
Was walkin' down
The boulevard
When I first bumped into you
I said "I'd like to look ya up some time
Maybe have a drink or two"
She said "I think you're crazy
You don't know me very well
But for you there's only love to sell"
Every night she'll be there
Same old place without a care
'Cause she's open all night long
Open all night long
She's open all night long
Open all night long
I finally gave up tryin'
She told me that she couldn't wait
I said "How can you live your
Live this way"
She said "Honey, I got bills to pay"
She walked up to another car
They were gone in a flash
I guess he's the one who likes his
Love paid in cash
Every night she'll be there
Same old place without a care
Every night she'll be there
Same old place without a care
8. Life In The City
I picked up my head
I hang it out the window
Listen to my world
Seems so far away
Feelin' isolation
I'm the one who feels the pain
Send me a card
Or drop a line
Down in the streets, I can't believe
These rapes and murders I got to see
I try to hide it
Hide it from my mind
Why am I tryin' to be so blind
So tell me
How can you beat life in the city
Maybe tomorrow it will hit me
The world will always
Be with sorrow
I got to believe
There's a better way
I let time pass
Right trough my hands
Why can't I just stand
And be a man
This pain and heartache
It bites trough my bones
And I know I'm not
The only one alone
9. Just Another Lover
She was lonely
Lonely from the love I left behind
I should have told her
Ya know the girl
She's not my kind
I had to keep movin' on
I got a pistol for action
I had to use it on you girl, yeah
Always callin'
Think I'm startin'
To really lose my mind
Should've told her
Ya know the girl
She's not my kind
I had to keep movin' on
I got a pistol for action
I had to use it on you girl, yeah
We're just lovers
Maybe once or maybe twice
Just lovers
Who cares if it's wrong or right
Just lovers
I never want to keep the same
Just lovers
10. Straight Shooter
I'll hold on, ohh just for so long
Every time you slip away
I'll make sure you pay
No more tears fallin' from me
I know you heard it all before
Don't try to push me
Seems it won't be long
'Til you're comin' 'round
I must be strong
Won't let you put me down
Straight shooter
Ya put a hole in my heart
Straight shooter
Straight shooter
Ya got me right from the start
Straight shooter
Last night you were lookin' so fine
I had to keep away
Won't let you break me
I've been put down
Not gonna take it
Lying down
I know you heard it all before
Can't love you no more
Seems it won't be long
'Til you're comin' 'round
I must be strong
Won't let you put me down
Yeah you be walkin' around
Thinkin' you're so fine, huh
11. Take Me To The Limit
I lost myself looking for you
Swore that was one thing
I'd never do
Looking for shadows of you in the night
Tellin' myself I know I ain't right
Seems like I'm always the last
One to find out
Just what's going on
I hear your friends talkin'
They say you don't want me
It's the same old song
'Cause I know what you're thinkin'
That your love is sinkin'
Take me - take me
Take me to the limit - one more time
Take me - take me
Take me to the limit - one more time
I guess there's no use
Thinkin' that you'll stay now
This love is dead at last
Before you walk out
And leave me standin' here alone
I know it's wrong to ask
'Cause I know what you're thinkin'
That our love is sinkin'
