• Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
  Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
  And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
  Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
  Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
  Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out
  So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away
  Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay.
  • Ramblin' Gamblin' Man.

• All I know is that I'm young and your rules they are old
  If I've got to kill to live then there's something left untold
  I'm no statesman I'm no general. I'm no kid I'll never be
  It's the rules not the soldier that I find the real enemy.
  • 2 + 2 = ?.

• Cruisin on the grey snakes till my dyin day
  Checkin all the hen houses out along the way
  Wastin time and drinkin wine
  Life is short and I ain't lyin
  Livin all I can through every day.
  • Lucifer

• On a long, lonesome highway east of Omaha
  You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song.
  You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before.
  But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do,
  When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do.
  And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through.
  • Turn the Page.

• So here I am.
  On the road again.
  There I am,
  Up on the stage.
  And here I go,
  Playin' the star again.
  There I go,
  Turn the page.
  • Turn the Page.

• Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away.
  Every ounce of energy you try to give away.
  As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play.
  Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed.
  With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head.
  You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said.
  • Turn the Page.

• He wants to dream like a young man
  With the wisdom of an old man.
  He wants his home and security,
  He wants to live like a sailor at sea.
  Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall?
  You realize you just can't have it all.
  • Beautiful Loser.

• That's why I'm going to Katmandu,
  Up to the mountains where I'm going to.
  If I ever get out of here,
  That's what I'm gonna do.
  • Katmandu.

• So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder
  Than you used to be.
  So you used to shake 'em down,
  But now you stop and think about your dignity.
  So now sweet sixteen's turned thirty-one,
  You get to feelin' weary when the work days done.
  Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks.
  If you're in a fix.
  Come back baby,
  Rock and roll never forgets.
  • Rock and Roll Never Forgets.

• Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy,
  Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy.
  Workin' on mysteries without any clues,
  Workin' on our night moves.
  Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news,
  Workin' on our night moves.
  • Night Moves.

• I woke last night to the sound of thunder,
  "How far off," I sat and wondered.
  Started hummin' a song from 1962.
  Ain't it funny how the night moves,
  When you just don't seem to have as much to lose.
  Strange how the night moves, with autumn closin' in.
  • Night Moves.

• Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine
  Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time
  There go the street lights bringin on the night
  Here come the men faces hidden from the light
  All through the shadows they come and they go
  With only one thing in common
  They got the fire down below.
  • The Fire Down Below.

• In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
  I used to watch 'em through the glass.
  Well I'd stand outside at closing time
  Just to watch her walk on past.
  Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet.
  As she made her way alone down that empty street.
  Down on Mainstreet.
  • Mainstreet.

• She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast.
  He was a Midwestern boy on his own.
  She looked at him with those soft eyes, so innocent and blue.
  He knew right then he was too far from home.
  He was too far from home.
  • Hollywood Nights.

• You always said the cards would never do you wrong.
  The trick you said was never play the game too long.
  A gambler's share.
  The only risk that you would take.
  The only loss you could forsake
  The only bluff you couldn't fake.
  • Still the Same.

• I know it's late, I know you're weary
  I know your plans don't include me
  Still here we are, both of us lonely
  Longing for shelter from all that we see
  Why should we worry, no one will care girl
  Look at the stars so far away
  We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
  We've got tonight babe,
  Why don't you stay?
  • We've Got Tonight.

• Some people say that love's a losin' game.
  You start with fire but you lose the flame.
  The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone.
  You end up cold and lonely on your own.

  I'll take my chances babe, I'll risk it all.
  I'll win your love or I'll take the fall.
  I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be.
  Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me.
  Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me.

  • You'll Accomp'ny Me.

• And I remember what she said to me
  How she swore that it never would end
  I remember how she held me oh so tight
  Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
  • Against the Wind.

• Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
  Breaking all of the rules that would bend
  I began to find myself searchin'
  Searching for shelter again and again.

  Against the wind
  A little something against the wind
  I found myself seeking shelter
  Against the wind.

  • Against the Wind.

• Who wants to brave those bronze beauties
  Lying in the sun.
  With their long soft hair falling
  Flying as they run.
  Oh they smile so shy
  And they flirt so well
  And they lay you down so fast
  Till you look straight up and say
  Oh lord, am I really here at last?
  • Fire Lake.

• Roll, roll me away,
  Won't you roll me away tonight?
  I too am lost, I feel double-crossed.
  And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right.
  We never even said a word,
  We just walked out and got on that bike.
  And we rolled.
  And we rolled clean out of sight.
  • Roll Me Away

• My hands were steady,
  My eyes were clear and bright.
  My walk had purpose,
  My steps were quick and light.
  And I held firm to what I felt was right.
  Like a rock.
  • Like a Rock.

• And I stood arrow straight
  Unencumbered by the weight
  Of all these hustlers and their schemes.
  I stood proud, I stood tall
  High above it all.
  I still believed in my dreams.
  • Like a Rock.
