Uptown Down-home Good Ol Boy
Hell never wear a business suit
Cowboy hats and bull hide boots just suit him fine
See that buckle shine
He won it in a rodeo
On a horse named desperado
And he won the ride but he broke his back
Hit so hard he heard it crack
No more rodeo
But you cant keep a good man down
A line of western wear uptown heard of his fame
And they bought his name
Now he looks down from a suite
At the silver limo parked out on the street
And hes not just a face in a martini crowd
He drinks long neck bud and gets a little loud
The mans back on his feet
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
In a business world so fast
On a horse of a different color
But hell hang on til the last
Hes still the local hero
Hes the hometown pride and joy
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
A woman loved him through it all mbr> through his rowdy days and his hardest fall when he almost died
She stayed by his side
Shes still right there today
He wouldnt have it any other way
And he never did get too proud
To hang out with the same old crowd
Were proud to say
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
In a business world so fast
Oh but its a different saddle
Than he once rode in the past
Hes the hometown pride and joy
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy

Uptown Girl
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her ti-i-ime
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mi-i-ind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love
With an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class boys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fi-i-ine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mi-i-ine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl

Shes the finest thing that youve ever seen, oh ho ha

Sorry
Just look at me know
Because Im tired of yelling
Look at me now
Its only me Im selling
Im not willing to trade
My life to make the sale
You turn me around
You put me down
Look at me now
Im hanging out my heart to dry
For the last time
Ill tell you the reason why
Its for the last time
Laid back uptown turnaround people - lie
Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises
Sorry a word they only use too late
Sorry is a word that only ever means forgive my yesterdays
Laid back uptown turnaround people - lie
Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises
And sorry thats a word they can only use too late
Sorry is a word that only ever means forgive my yesterdays
(sorry)
Here I am loving you
You lay you lay so quietly
I can feel your breath upon my skin
Afterglow came suddenly
With you it always did
Im hanging out my heart to dry
For the last time
Ill tell you the reason why
Its for the last time
Laid back uptown turnaround people - lie
Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises
They say sorry thats a word
They only use too late
Sorry is a word that only ever means
Forgive my yesterdays

Laid back uptown turnaround people - wear disguises
They say sorry
Thats a word they only use too late

Bad Is Bad
Went uptown to see my cousin
Plays guitar, sounds like a chainsaw buzzin
In the crowd, I see his mom and dad
I said hey, hey uncle, man your son is bad
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.
Across the street, a neon sign
All you can eat for a dollar ninety nine
Aww, that old stew is the baddest in the land
But one dollars worth was all that I could stand
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.
Back uptown to see marie
Nobody home, I opened the door with my key
I love you, huey was the note I read
But theres a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad

Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine.
Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin leather.
I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather.

All Over Me
I don't wanna go out tonight
Wanna turn down the light
Wanna light that fire
So we can take it higher
I don't wanna go clubin'
I wanna make some lovin'
So honey come on over here
And give me some of what I want
I don't need no money, no uptown time
I just need you to put your hands all over me tonight
I don't need no money, no uptown time
I just need you to put your hands all over me tonight
Baby, you know all I need
Is a little good company
You fit that bill
So let me take that pill
I love the way you slide
The way you take your time
You turn me up real slow
Until I'm ready to explode
I don't need no money, no uptown time
I just need you to put your hands all over me tonight
I don't need no money, no uptown time

Like a lizard on a window pane

With the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes wide open
And the hands busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the national trust

Come On Home

The springfields
Don't stand there wailing "got no place to go"
Come on home
You look at me like that and i can't say no
Come on home
Well, i know you done me wrong
And i know i should be strong
But, i cried the whole night long
So, come on home
Come on home
Tell me baby, must you be so cruel?
Come on home
You treat me just like i'm some kind of fool
Come on home
Well, i know you let me down
I was glad when you left town
But, you're good to have around
So, come on home
Don't run away now
Come on home
You got your way now
Come on home
A-hear what i say now
Come on home
Come on home
When you smile at me well i feel so good
Come on home
I can't be mad at you like i know i should
Come on home
Well you took me for a ride
And i thought my love had died
Still i need you by my side
So come on home
Come on home
Come on home

Rodeo
His eyes are cold and restless
His wounds have almost healed
And shed give half of texas
Just to change the way he feels
She knows his loves in tulsa
And she knows hes gonna go
Well, it aint no woman, flesh and blood
Its that damned old rodeo.
(chorus)
Well, its bulls and blood
Its dust and mud
Its the roar of a sunday crowd
Its the white in his knuckles
The gold in the buckle
Hell win the next go round
Its boots and chaps
Its cowboy hats
Its spurs and latigo
Its the ropes and the reins
And the joy and the pain
And they call the thing rodeo.
She does her best to hold him
When his love comes to call
But his need for it controls a man
And her backs against the wall
And its so long girl, Ill see you.
When its time for him to go
You know the woman wants her cowboy
Like he wants his rodeo
*chorus*
Itll drive a cowboy crazy
Itll drive the man insane
And hell sell off everything he owns
Just to pay to play her game
And a broken home and some broken bones
Is all hell have to show
For all the years that he spent chasin
This dream they call rodeo.
*chorus*
Well, its bulls and blood

Too Many Chicks
So many years
ago in days
of my youth,
as i was
walking down
the street uptown
saw a sign
which read
baby chicks
only 1 penney
each, what
a deal that
was i said
to my self
so i bought
100 of them,
took them home,
my mom said
too many chicks
that would be.
she let me
keep a few,
the rest went
back to feed
store, thus
ending my dream
of fame and fortune
as a chicken king tycoon.
Rodeo
Laughin like gypsies show to show
Living my life like a rolling stone
This is how my story unfolds
Traveling man, never at home
Cant find love so I sleep alone
This whisky river has a long way to flow
All that I know is life on this road
Long way from home
In this rodeo
Rodeo, rodeo, rodeo, rodeo
Not my home
Another day, another night on stage
Lights go down, time to turn the page
Was this all I ever wanted to be
Six hundred miles the highway calls
Another long day now the hours get small
Riding out this rock and roll rodeo
All that I know is life on this road
Long way from home
In this rodeo
Rodeo, rodeo, rodeo, rodeo
Not my home
All that I know
Is life on this road
Long way from home
In this rodeo
Rodeo, rodeo, rodeo, rodeo
Not my home

Target
Uptown - downtown
No ones fussy Im a target
Black, white - day, night
No ones fussy Im a target
Somebody say Im crazy
Walking in this neighborhood
Say you cant be too careful
But that wont do no good
Im no one special
But any part of town
Someone could smile at me then
Shake my hand then gun me down
Uptown - downtown
No ones fussy Im a target
Black, white - day, night
No ones fussy Im a target
Somebody say Im crazy
Living in this crazy town
I say maybe youre just lazy
Got to either swim or drown
I know what Im doing
Im happy day to day
But then something happens
Takes my nerve away
Uptown - downtown
No ones fussy Im a target
Black, white - day, night
No ones fussy Im a target

High Tone Woman
I been watchin' you watchin' her watchin' herself in the mirror,
In her tailor-made dress an' her long blonde hair,
An' her big diamond rings: her custom-made shoes.
And I can by the look on your face that you're makin' your move,
But she hasn't got time for a man who's tongue-tied.
An' she doesn't like cowboys an' thinks less of fools.
So, boy, don't you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman.
She'll cut up your heart like an' old credit card,
When the fun and the money runs out.
I've never seen an uptown, well-read thorougbred,
High-tone woman sink as low as you.
Instrumental break.
Hey, I'm on your side; don't go gettin' me wrong, now:
You're not a bad fellow at all.
But you're out of her league so stay in the bleachers:
Son, you couldn't please her if you had it all.
So, boy, don't you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman.
She'll cut up your heart like an' old credit card,
When the fun and the money runs out.
You're a fool if you saddle yourself to a high-tone woman. (I seen her.)
I've seen her cut up a heart like an' old credit card,
When the fun and the money runs out.
I've never seen an uptown, well-read thorougbred,
High-tone woman sink as low as you.
Oh no, I've never seen an uptown, well-read thorougbred,
High-tone woman sink as low as you.

Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy
I own this horse and saddle
And that old cadillac
This broken down horse trailer
And the clothes that are on my back
Well I know that it aint a hell of alot
But its all that I can show
My wife left me five years ago
In one of those rodeo towns
I cant say that I blame her much
She just wanted to settle down
Oh God how I miss that woman
It hurt so to see her go
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
But Im hooked on this rodeo
Chorus:
And Im just a lonesome cowboy
Im a little bit over the hill
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
But I guess I never will
So I keep on movin from show to show
Hopin to change my luck
My good ol days are just a memory
But I just cant give it up
There was a time I used to do alright
And bring home my share of the dough
But now Im losin out to the younger boys
I guess I must be gettin slow
But theres one thing you learn from this
You gotta make it on your own
Cause when your on top youve got a million friends
But when your down buddy youre all alone
Repeat chorus
My good ol days are just a memory
But I just cant give it up

Uptown
Walkin through the fog on a cold and cloudy night
Lookin through the smog that surrounds the mornin light
The shades of brown. it gets me down, exactly like my life
I dont deserve the hand Im dealt, a flush in spades of strife
Ive grown tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore
So Im rounding up the broken me and headin on out the door
Without no lag Im packin my bag of discontented frowns
And hopping numer eighty-six, the first train that is freedom bound
Got my bag of many frowns and Im takin it on uptown
Big city lights
Funkier nights
Happier days
Goin my way
It should be right
But Im still uptight
Hey, I better put down
And get movin on
Im through with aggravation
Dont deserve the degradation
Im putting all the negatives down
To hop the train thats feedom bound for uptown
Got my bag of many frowns and Im takin it on uptown

Good-by
Good-by, proud world, I'm going home,
Thou'rt not my friend, and I'm not thine;
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-ark on the ocean brine,
Long I've been tossed like the driven foam,
But now, proud world, I'm going home.
Good-by to Flattery's fawning face,
To Grandeur, with his wise grimace,
To upstart Wealth's averted eye,
To supple Office low and high,
To crowded halls, to court, and street,
To frozen hearts, and hasting feet,
To those who go, and those who come,
Good-by, proud world, I'm going home.
I'm going to my own hearth-stone
Bosomed in yon green hills, alone,
A secret nook in a pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned;
Where arches green the livelong day
Echo the blackbird's roundelay,
And vulgar feet have never trod
A spot that is sacred to thought and God.
Oh, when I am safe in my sylvan home,
I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome;
And when I am stretched beneath the pines
Where the evening star so holy shines,
I laugh at the lore and the pride of man,
At the sophist schools, and the learned clan;
For what are they all in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet.
