  7. Blues Power

    Letra

    Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll. Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul. There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower, 'Cause now I'm living on blues power. I knew all the time but now I'm gonna let you know: I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow. Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour, 'Cause now I'm living on blues power. Repeat First Verse Talking to you, now. The boogie's gonna pull me through. Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on. Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on.
  8. After Midnight

    Letra

    After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout We're gonna stimulate some action We're gonna get some satisfaction We're gonna find out what it is all about After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream We're gonna cause talk and suspicion We're gonna give an exhibition We're gonna find out what it is all about After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out Second Verse After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
  9. Let It Rain

    Letra

    The rain is falling through the mist Of sorrow that surrounded me. The sun could never thaw away The the bliss that lays around me. Let it rain, let it rain, Let your love rain down on me. Let it rain, let it rain, Let it rain, rain, rain. Her life was like a desert flower Burning in the sun. Until I found the way to love, It's harder said than done. Chorus Now I know the secret; There is nothing that I lack. If I give my love to you, You'll surely give it back. Chorus
  10. Bell Bottom Blues

    Letra

    Bell bottom blues, you made me cry I don't wanna lose this feeling And if I could choose a place to die It would be in your arms Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you wanna hear me beg you to take me back? I would gladly do it because I don't wanna fade away Give me one more day, please I don't wanna fade away In your heart I want to stay It's all wrong, but it's all right The way that you treat me baby Once I was strong but I lost the fight You won't find a better loser Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you wanna hear me beg you to take me back? I would gladly do it because I don't wanna fade away Give me one more day, please I don't wanna fade away In your heart I want to stay Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you wanna hear me beg you to take me back? I would gladly do it because I don't wanna fade away Give me one more day, please I don't wanna fade away In your heart I want to stay Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye I'm sure we're gonna meet again And if we do, don't you be surprised If you find me with another lover Do you wanna see me crawl across the floor to you? Do you wanna hear me beg you to take me back? I would gladly do it because I don't wanna fade away Give me one more day, please I don't wanna fade away In your heart I want to stay I don't wanna fade away Give me one more day please I don't wanna fade away In your heart I long to stay
  11. Layla

    Letra

    What will you do when you get lonely And no one's waiting by your side? You've been running and hiding much too long You know it's just your foolish pride Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Tried to give you consolation When your old man, he let you down Like a fool, I fell in love with you You turned my whole world upside down Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane Please don't say we'll never find a way Or tell me all my love's in vain Layla You've got me on my knees, Layla Begging darling please, Layla Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
  12. I Shot The Sheriff

    Letra

    I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy All around my home town They're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of the deputy For the life of a deputy I said I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self defense I shot the sheriff And they say it was a capital offense Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what? I don't know But every time that I plant a seed He said, "kill it before it grows" (2x) I said (2x) I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self defense Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town All of a sudden I see Sheriff John Brown Aimin' to shoot me down So I shot, I shot him down I said (2x) I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy Reflexes got the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket falls to the well One day the bottom will drop out Yes, one day the bottom will drop out I said I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy Oh, no, oh, no I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy Oh, no
  13. Let It Grow

    Letra

    Standing at the crossroads, trying to read the signs To tell me which way I should go to find the answer And all the time I know Plant your love and let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow Looking for a reason to check out of my mind Trying hard to get a friend that I can count on But there's nothing left to show Plant your love and let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow Time is getting shorter and there's much for you to do Only ask and you will get what you are needing The rest is up to you Plant your love and let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow Let it grow, let it grow Let it blossom, let it flow In the sun, the rain, the snow Love is lovely, let it grow

  15. Hello Old Friend

    Letra

    As I am strolling down the garden path, I saw a flower glowing in the dark. It looked so pretty and it was unique; I had to bend down just to have a peek. Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. I saw you walking underneath the stars; I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car. I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far If I got out and walked to where you are. Chorus An old man passed me on the street today; I thought I knew him but I couldn't say. I stopped to think if I could place his frame. When he tipped his hat I knew his name. Chorus Chorus
  16. Cocaine

    Letra

    If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out Cocaine If you wanna get down, down on the ground Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues Cocaine When your day is done and you wanna run Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine If your thing is gone, and you wanna ride on Cocaine Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine
  17. Wonderful Tonight

    Letra

    It's late in the evening She's wondering what clothes to wear She'll put on her make-up And brushes her long blond hair And then she'll ask me: Do I look alright? And I'll say: Yes, you look wonderful tonight We'll go to a party And everyone turns to see This beautiful lady That's walking around with me And then she'll ask me: Do you feel alright? And I'll say: Yes, I feel wonderful tonight I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize How much I love you It's time to go home now I've got an aching head So I'll give her the car keys She'll help me to bed And then I'll tell her As I turn out the light I say: My darling, you were wonderful tonight Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
  18. Promises

    Letra

    I don't care if you never come home I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea 'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me You cause a commotion when you come to town You give 'em a smile and they melt Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine La la, la la la la La la, la la la la I don't care what you do at night Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights I'm gonna leave you alone I'll just let it be I don't love you and you don't love me I got a problem Can you relate? I got a woman callin' love hate We made a vow we'd always be friends How could we know that promises end? La la, la la la la La la, la la la la I tried to love you for years upon years You refuse to take me for real It's time you saw what I want you to see And I'd still love you if you just loved me I got a problem Can you relate? I got a woman callin' love hate We made a vow we'd always be friends How could we know that promises end? La la, la la la la La la, la la la la La la, la la la la La la, la la la la
