It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
Gotcha with the cocaine
They found with your gun
No smoothy faced laywer
Will get ya undone
Say love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
Fate comes a-knockin'
Doors start lockin'
Your old time connection
Change your direction
Ain't gonna change it
Can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain
When it's all the same to you, my friend
When you're low down and dirty
From walkin' the street
With your old hurdy gurdy
No one to meet
Said love ain't the same
On the south side of town
You could look
But you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
Well, well, Lordie my God
What do we got here
She's flashin' 'cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear
You're the bait and you're the hook
Someone bound to take a look
I'm your man-child, lord of the thighs
You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of your thighs
You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of your thighs
And the soul she could not feel
'Cause they made her so unreal
Lightnin' years disappears
Twenty million years on my brain
Synthesize, overrides
Tryin' to keep from goin' insane
And my soul I can not feel
'Cause they made me so unreal
Spaced enough to know I feel there's nothing out there
Spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
Spaced enough to feel I'm really losin' my mind
And I'm never ever goin' back
I lost the track
No one even knows I'm alive
Spaced without a trace
Waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy what a woman
Well I tried, I tried so hard to please her
She'd give me a look if I beg to tease her
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
No way you can try to hoochie coo
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, Lordy what you gonna do
And I tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight
And I tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight
She got big-eyed cats
She got coats of sable
She seats forty-four at her dinner table
And there's nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
No way you can try to change her way
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, throwin' it all away
'Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that
Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' bitties
Bogies turn, stinkin' of gin
Well my daddy was hard
His face was pretty scarred
From kickin' ass to playin' poker to win
'Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that
It's too bad
It's too bad
Can't get me none of that
New sold lady
My mama Cady
Chivalry was born at her feet
Wel she should have thought twice
When pa showed his dice
Imagine put my daddy to sleep
'Cause I'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And I'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that
It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
I said it's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
(Repeat)
Chorus:
I said, train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
With a heave, and a ho
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
Well on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome
We kinda looked the same
She was pretty
From New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so
Chorus
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her
Well, we made a stop in Albequerque
She musta thought
I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good, I couldn't let her go
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so
Chorus
Oh, woe is me
I feel so badly for you
Oh, woe is me
I feel so sadly for you in time
Time to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sails
Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon
They awaken
Far, far away
Heat of my candle
Show me the way
Seas of a thousand
Drawn her to sin
Seasons of wither
Holdin' me in
Oh, woe is me
I feel so badly for you
Oh, woe is me
I feel so sadly for you in time
Time to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sails
Now, I ain't much
For Fannie's conversation
Or care to much
About her operation
But every time Pandora comes my way
I get high
Can't explain the sensation
To get it on
I gotta watch what I say
Or I'll catch hell
From the women's liberation
Chorus:
Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smell like a flora
Open up your door-a for me
Sweet Pandora
Mama crack a smile for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me, just for me
Just for me
Now I ain't what
You'd call a city slicker
Or claim to fame
To be a slitty licker
But every time Pandora comes my way
I get high
Can't explain the sensation
To get it on
I gotta watch what I say
Or I'll catch hell
From the women's liberation
Chorus
