Aerosmith Greatest Hits[72-79] Lyrics
1.Dream On

Lyrics:Tyler
Music:Tyler

every time that I look in the mirror
all these lines on my face getting clearer
the past is gone
it went by like dusk to dawn
isn't that the way
everybody's got their dues in life to pay

yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win

half my life's in books' written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things come back to you

sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

dream on, dream on, dream on,
dream yourself a dream come true
dream on, dream on, dream on,
and dream until your dream comes true
dream on (7x)


2.Same Old Song and Dance

Lyrics:Tyler/Perry
Music:Tyler/Perry

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low,
Coincidental murder with nothing to show.
The judge constipation will go to his head,
His wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead (you'll soon end
up dead).

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 face laywer to getcha 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 stroy,
Same old story same old song and dance.

Fate comes a-knockin',
Doors start lockin',
Your old time connection,
Change your direction,
You 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.
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 song same old song and dance.


3.Sweet Emotion

Lyrics:Tyler/Hamilton
Music:Tyler/Hamilton

Talk about things and nobody cares
Wearing other things that nobody wears
Ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear
Can't say where I'm gonna be in a year.

Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up & went.
You got good news but you're a real good liar
Cause backstage lover set your pants on fire.
Riff 8x, then sweet emotion 2x
Pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far.
Tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied
Can't catch me cause the rabbit done died.

Standin' in front just shakin' your ass.
Take you back stage you can drink from my glass.
Talk about something you can sure understand
Cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand.


4.Walk This Way

Lyrics:Tyler/Perry
Music:Tyler/Perry

backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
till I talked to your daddy, he say
he said 'you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways'
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
oh, the times I could reminisce
'cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
only started with a little kiss
like this!

seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin' up in the air
singin' 'hey diddle diddle'
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn't care
so I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
wasn't me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I knowed love was here to stay
when she told me to

walk this way (8x)
just gimme a kiss
like this!

schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' I missed
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss
like this!

(repeat second verse, substitute this at the end)
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

walk this way (8x)
just gimme a kiss
like this!


5.Last Child

Lyrics:Tyler/Whitford
Music:Tyler/Whitford

(I'm dreaming tonight, I'm leaving back home. Right!!!!)

Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, No sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
of my hot tail poon-tang sweatheart
sweathog ready to make a silk purse
from a J Paul Getty and his ear
with a face in a beer
Home Sweet Home

Get out in the field,
Put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's A cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the City and My love's in the meadow
Hand's on the plow and my feets in the ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothin'
Ain't no good when boss man's stuffin'
Down their throats with paper notes
as babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the street
Home Sweet Home

Mamma take me home sweet home
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street.


6.Back in the Saddle

Lyrics:Tyler/Perry
Music:Tyler/Perry

I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again

ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon
barkeep gimme a drink, that's when she caught my eye
she turned to give me a wink, that'd make a grown man cry

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!

come easy, go easy, all right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight, I'm like a loaded gun
peelin' off my boots and chaps, I'm saddle sore
four bits gets you time in the racks, I scream for more
fools' gold out of their mines, the girls are soaking wet
no tongue's drier than mine, I'll come when I get back!

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol
I'm ridin', I really got a fistful
I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle
I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back!
ridin' high!
ridin' high!
ridin' high! already!


7.Draw the Line

Lyrics:Tyler/Perry
Music:Tyler/Perry

checkmate honey, beat ya at your own damn game
no dice honey, I'm livin' on the astral plane
feet's on the ground, and your head's goin' down the drain
oh, heads I win, tails you lose, to the never mind
where to draw the line
an Indian summer, Carrie was all over the floor
she was a wet net winner, and rarely ever left the store
she'd sing and dance all night, and wrong all the right out of
me
oh, pass me the vile and cross your fingers, it don't take time
nowhere to draw the line
hi ho silver, we were singin' all your cowboy songs
oh, you told Carrie, and promised her you wouldn't be long
heads I win, tails you lose, lord it's such a crime
no dice honey, you're the salt, you're the queen of the brine
checkmate honey, you're the only one who's got to choose
where to draw the line

checkmate, don't be late
take another pull
that's right
impossible
when you got to be yourself
you're the boss, the toss
the price, the dice
grab yourself a slice
nowhere to draw the line

(he also sings: Ooh, checkmate, dont be late
take another bow,
you say, you cry so far away
and if yousee yourself
you're the boss of the toss
the dice the price
write yourself a song and draw the line)


8.Kings And Queens

Written:S.Tyler/T.Hamilton/J.Kramer/B.Whitford/J.Douglas

Long ago, in days I'm told
were ruled by Lords of greed
Maidens fared with gold. They dared
to bare their wombs that bleed
Kings and queens and guillotines,
taking lives denied
Starch and parchment laid the laws
when bishops took the ride
only to deceive.

Oh I know I lived this life afore
Somehow know now truths I must be sure
Tossin, turnin' nightmares burnin'
dreams of swords in hand
Sailin' ships the Viking spits
the bold of father's land
only to deceive

Living times of knights and mares
raising swords for maidens fair
sneer at death
fear only loss of pride

Living other centuries
deja vu or what you please
follows true to all who do or die

Screams of no reply
they died
Screams of no reply
and died
Lordy lordy they died
Lordy lordy they died

Live and do or die
they died
Live and no reply
they died


9.Come Together

Lyrics:J.Lennon/P.Mccartney
Music:J.Lennon/P.Mccartney

Here comes old flat-top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got Joo Joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca Cola
He say, I know you
You know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Chorus:
Come together
Right now
over me

He Bag Production
He got walrus gumboat
He got Ono side board
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down
Be-low his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

Chorus

He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got Muddy Water
He one mojo filter
He say one and one
and one is three
Got to be good looking 'cause he so hard to see

Chorus


10.Remember (Walking In The Sand)

Lyrics:Morton
Music:Morton

seems like the other day
my baby went away
she went away 'cross the sea
it's been two years or so
since I saw my baby go
and then this letter came for me

it said that we was through
she found somebody new
oh, lemme think, lemme think, what shall I do?
oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no...

(remember) walking in the sand
(remember) walking hand in hand
(remember) the night was so exciting
(remember) her smile was so inviting
(remember) then she touched my cheek
(remember) with her fingertips
(remember) softly, softly we met with a kiss
whatever happened to
that girl that I once knew
the girl that said she'd be true
oh, whatever happened to
that night I gave it to you
what will you do with it now
