Aerosmith Greatest Hits[73~88] 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.Mama Kin

Lyrics:Tyler
Music:Tyler

It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy.
Tell ya, honey, how I feel.
I've been dreaming,
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real.
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been.
You've been fadin', always out paradin.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

Well you've always got your tail on the wag.
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.
You act like a perpertual drag.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.


3.Same Old Song And Dance

Lyrics:Tyler/Perry
Music:Tyler/Perry

get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
coincidental murder, with nothing to show
with the judge, constipation will go to his head
and his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough 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 story, same old story
same old song and dance

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
say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around


4.Seasons Of Wither

Lyrics:Tyler
Music:Tyler

blues hearted lady, sleepy was she
love for the devil brought her to me
tears of a thousand drawn to her sin
seasons of wither holdin' me in
oooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
oooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
bound to lose your mind
live on borrowed time
take the wind right out of your sail
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
tears of a thousand drawn to her sin
seasons of wither holdin' me in


5.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.


6.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!


7.Big Ten-Inch Record

Lyrics:F.Weismantel
Music:F.Weismantel

got me the strangest woman
believe me this trick's no cinch
but I really get her going
when I whip out my big 10 inch

record of a band that plays the blues
well a band that plays its blues
she just love my big 10 inch
record of her favorite blues

last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
she said now stop that jivin'
now whip out your big 10 inch

record of a band that plays those blues
well a band that plays the blues
she just loves my big 10 inch
record of her favorite blues

I, I, I cover her with kisses
and when we're in a lover's clinch
she gets all excited
when she begs for my big 10 inch

record of a band that plays those blues
well a band that plays the blues
she just love my big 10 inch
record of her favorite blues

my girl don't go for smokin'
and liquor just make her flinch
seems she don't go for nothin'
'cept for my big 10 inch

record of a band that plays the blues
band that play the blues
she just love my big 10 inch
record of her favorite blues


8.Last Child

Lyrics:Tyler/Whitford
Music:Tyler/Whitford

I'm dreamin' tonight
I'm dreamin' 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
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.


9.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!


10.Back In The Saddle

Lyrics:Tyler/Perry
Music:Tyler/Perry

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

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

11.Kings And Queens

Written:Hamilton/Kramer/Tyler/Whitford/Douglas

long ago in days untold
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 I know now
truths I must be sure
tossin', turnin', nightmares burnin'
dreams of swords in hand
sailing ships, the Viking spits
the blood 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
died
lordy, lordy, they died


12.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


13.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


14.Lightning Strikes

Lyrics:Supa
Music:Supa

the boys and the dukes are ready to rumble
the word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
in the avenue tonight
when the lightning strikes

zip gun John his finger is itchin'
oh the lids gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
it's an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth
they're so ruthless when they fight
when the lightning strikes

there's a free-for-all in the parking lot
over who will rule the streets
and the night explodes when the cops bring on the heat
and the chains they crash like thunder
while the weak ones all retreat
gotta draw first blood or they'll read your funeral rights
when the lightning strikes

it's dog eat dog when ya meet your rival
in the combat zone it's your means of survival
gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
on a cloak and dagger night
when the lightning strikes
when the lightning strikes
can't you hear the thunder


15.Chip Away the Stone

Lyrics:Supa
Music:Supa

you act like a prima donna
playing so hard to get
sittin' so cool and nonchalant
draggin' on a cigarette

you keep a wall all around ya
'n I'll get through some day
'n I want your love babe, if push comes to shove
gonna chip that wall away

chip away
chip away at the stone
I won't stop 'til your love is my very own
chip away
that's what I'm gonna do
sweet little mama I wanna get next to you

you stand like a marble statue
trying to look so hard
all decked out in your antique dress
while the boys all promenade

even a rock will crumble
if you strike it night and day
if hammer I must, I'm gonna get through your crust
gonna chip that stone away

chip it, I'm gonna nip it, all night long


16.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.


17.One Way Street

Lyrics:Tyler
Music:Tyler

hey look on yonder, what's that I see
well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
say, listen babe, don't go wastin' your time
you keep on comin' round you'll hear the same old line
you got a thousand boys, you say you need 'em
you take what's good for you and I'll take my freedom
'cause lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I gotta go the other way
I thought I knew her, my cagey lady
how could my sunshine be so damn shady
she'll say she love to talk a conversation
but I'm the one that makes my situation
this one way city, that I thought I knew
it's such a pity honey, that's it for you
there's nothin' over here I never showed ya
I made it pretty clear I'm glad to know ya
you know your brother Spike, he's on the level
but you always lookin' like you're mad at the devil
don't say I cop a 'tude, it's all forgotten
it's just you're much too rude, your fruits are rotten *
you know I work so hard to keep it alive
now all I hear from you is nothin' but jive
lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I really been feelin' like I could be movin' on *
your head's like a one way street
when you're foolin' everybody you meet
your head's like a one way street
you got to get yourself back on your feet
