Let It Rock[The Best Of The

Georgia Satellites Let It Rock[The Best Of The Lyrics
1.All Over But The Cryin'

There's a fool born every minute babe
But this time it isn't me
It doesn't take 20/20
To see what i can see

Don't wanna hear nothin bout nothin
Don't wanna hear how you are sincere
Cause your actions speak louder
Than the words you whisper in my ear

Don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
But its me going for that walk alone

I don't want to hear your promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over, over but the crying

Go on and talk all you want baby
Just gonna sit right over here and listen
Just go ahead little girl
You've got my undivided attention
Oh, but i've been listening
To what you tell me with your eyes
Those blue, blue windows
Just can't disguise

Don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
But it's me going for that walk alone
I don't want to hear your promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over but the cryin

You can laugh about it later
You can tell yourself it served me right
You've painted a picture i can't forget
You've laid it out in black and white

Don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
But it's me going for that walk alone

I don't want to hear your cheap promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin


2.Almost Saturday Night/rockin' All Over The World

(john fogerty)

Outside my window
I can hear a radio
And i know that motor wagon's
Gettin' ready to fly
And it's almost saturday night

Bye bye tomorrow
Jody's gone to a rodeo
And i know some good ole boys
Gettin ready to ride
And it's almost saturday night

Gonna push the clouds away
Let the music have its way
Then steal your heart away
And i know, i know it
Outside me ringin'
The night train is bringing me home
When you hear that locomotion
Gettin' ready to ride
And it's almost saturday night

Outside me ringin'
Outside it's almost saturday night
Well i like it, i like it, i like it, i like it,
I li-li like it, i li-li like it,
Here we go, rockin' all over the world
(repeat 4 times)


3.Another Chance

Livin' with my back against the wall
Nowhere but forward to fall
Well i close my eyes, somebody will catch my breath
Oh my lord let's get on board
The rides gonna scare me to death

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance

Come help me poor richard
And won't you help me raise the glass
Here's to me and here's to you
Them dreams all come to pass
Cruel trick of time, is played in the wink of an eye
Well heaven's above you don't need no shove
The years go sailing bye, oh

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance

Another game of chance
A lifetime come and gone
I guess it's up to me
If i don't want to say another man's song
I wanna say what grandma said, lying on her dying bed
I ain't been cheated, no mistreated, and i don't have to say
that yet, oh

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Another chance
No not another chance
No no another chance


4.Battleship Chains

(learn c5 and g5 and you can play the entire song)

You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long with a two ton anchor

I can't move my arms
To hold nobody
Hold nobody but you
I can't move my legs s
To chase nobody
To kick nobody but you

You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor

I can't move eyes
To see nobody
See nobody but you
I can't move my tongue
To taste nobody
To lick nobody but you

You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor

I can't move my lips
To kiss nobody
Kiss nobody but you
I can't move my heart
To love nobody
To love nobody but you

You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
You got me tied, tied,
Whoo hoo, tied tied
Don't you know you got me
Tied tied, whoo hoo
Baby don't you know you got me
Tied tied, whoo hoo


5.Can't Stand The Pain

Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore

Well i'm lookin' for you baby and i don't know why
Everything about you makes me wanna cry
I can't lose, i can't win
Livin' in the middle once again
Yeah again and again

Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore

Well i'm dreamin' bout you baby
Each and every day
Try and wash my head out of the
Things you say

Livin' in the middle once again
Yeah again and again

Well i'm lookin' for you baby and i don't know why
Everything about you makes me wanna cry
I can't lose, i can't win
Livin in the middle once again

Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
No more, yeah, yeah, yeah


6.Dan Takes Five

Stuffed my heart in a bag slammed the back door
If i get home it'd be a home no more
Took off runnin in the middle of the night
I was aimed for anything that felt half right
Look out baby i'm gone a little ride
I see my name written on the center line
Moon looks good air is cool
Every bone been broken in the golden rule

Well i'm flyin through dothan with radio
Taylor's ole time opry's playin hank snow
Sing's my nightmares in his song
I say i'm with ya man i'm just movin on
Look out baby your wish came true
You got your freedom the house and the whole canoe
I got the thangs that i need
I took the car my pride and three pairs of jeans

My brain is bleedin got nails in my spine
But i ain't gonna stop 'fore that empty line
Radio's fadin road's like a snake
It's two in the mornin' and i'm wide awake
Look out baby gates of eden got closed
But new orlean's open see the pretty lights glow
I'm goin in to get myself lost and found
It didn't take too ___damn long to tear a good thing down

It may not be ideal
But at least we're not running at the mouth
I-10 to san antone
Woke up and went south
Fleeced at the border
For thirty five and some change
But that's a small price to pay
Runnin from the pain
Look out baby i'm gone a little ride
There's a brush fire on the highway
Gonna burn both side
Wish i could throw our sins
In the flame and smoke
I'll call you up if and when i reach hope


7.Don't Pass Me By

Well i listen for your footsteps
Comin' up the drive
Well i listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Just a waitin' for your knockin'
On my own front door
I don't hear it that doesn't mean
You don't love me anymore

Well i hear that clock a tickin'
On the mantle shelf
Well i see the hand's a movin'
But i'm by myself
Well i wonder where you are tonight
And why i'm by myself
I don't see you it doesn't mean
You don't love me anymore

Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry
Don't make me blue
You now darlin'
I love only you
You know it hurt me so

How i hate to see you go
Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry

I'm sorry that i doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
And you said that you would be late
About an hour or two
Well that's alright baby thats alright
I'm waitin to hear from you

(repeat chorus twice)


8.Down And Down

Baby started talking crazy
Crazy like from a dream
I'm pointing a finger right at you
And i said baby 'what in the hell is that supposed to mean'
I said honey do not come any closer
I do not like it when you play this game
She looked right at me smiled and said oh daddy
I'm a moth, your the flame

And i'm gone
Down and down
Well i'm so scared
Down and down
And i'm shakin and nervous
Down and down
Well it feels like
And i'm going down

That look in your eye got me nervous
Nervous as i can be
Cause when you look that look
Smile that smile
You scare the hell right out of me
Oh baby started moaning and crying
From her lips come a broken sound
I said lookie here


9.Hard Luck Boy

(dan baird)

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down
Fall back down

Everytime i stick out my heart it just
Gets stepped on
Well it feels like i've been ???
I don't need to look over my shoulder
To see what's coming
It's a dark cloud it belongs to me

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down

Everytime i roll the dice they come up box cars
It feels just like i've been snakebit since day one
???? smile on my face ???

(repeat chorus twice)


10.Hippy Hippy Shake

For goodness sakes
I got the hippy hippy shakes
Yeah i got the shakes

I can't sit still
With the hippy hippy shakes
Yeah i get my fill now
With the hippy hippy shake
Yeah it's in the bag
The hippy hippy shake

Well i've been shakin' to the left
Shakin' to the right

Oh baby yeah come on shake

Of baby yeah come on shake
Oh it's in the bag

11.I Dunno

Good to see ya back again
In the land of salvation and sin
You know sometimes, i get so lonely
Good to see that look on your face
I always held a special place
You might say, for your eyes only

I say good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
I said good times bad times i dunno

Cause your totally emotionally abused
Spiritually impoverished and moral destitute
Step right up your table's waitin'
I thought you were long gone
I see now that i was all wrong
Oh really, please don't you be so blatant

Good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
Good times bad times i dunno

Rock your ass and bash your skull
That's another thing never bluff
And you're dancin' with some pretty little juvenile delinquent
Take the one standin' right over there
Yeah the thing with the short black hair
The pink pants, black boots, nudie jacket with the silver
sequins

Good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
Good times bad times i dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I just dunno


12.Keep Your Hands To Yourself

I got a little change in my pocket going jingle lingle ling
Want to call you on the telephone baby i give you a ring
But each time we talk i get the same old thing
Always no huggin no kissin until i get a wedding ring
My honey my baby don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't give no lies and keep your hands to yourself

Cruel baby baby baby why you want to treat me this way
You know i'm still your lover boy i still feel the same way
That's when she told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow
And she said no huggin no kissin until i get a wedding vow
My honey my baby don't put my love upon no shelf
She said don't hand me no lies and keep your hands to yourself

You see i wanted her real bad and i was about to give in
That's when she started talkin' true love started talkin' about
sin
I said honey i'll live with you for the rest of my life
She said no huggin no kissin until you make me your wife
My honey my baby don't put my love on no shelf
She don't hand me no lies and keep your hands to yourself.


13.Let It Rock(Bye Bye Johnny)

(chuck berry)

Well in the heat of day down in mobile, alabama
I'm workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin hammer
I gotta get some money buy some brand new shoes
Gotta find somebody take away my blues
Well she don't love me when i'm singin' in the sun
Payday's comin' when the work is all done

Well now late here in the evening when the sun is sinkin low
All day i've been waitin' for that whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee built right on here on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings boys and scattere about
We've got an off shedule train comin two miles out

Everybody's scrambling and a running around
Picking up their money tearing the teepee down
Foreman wants to panic, bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train gotta let it roll on

'bye bye johnny'
Well now she drew out all of the money of southern trust
And put her little johnny on a greybound bus
Leavin' louisiana for the golden west
Drowned in the tears from her happiness
Her own little son named johnny b goode
Gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood

I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode

Well she remembers taking money after gathering crops
And buying johnny's guitar at the brokers shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad site
He wouldn't get in trouble she was satisfied
Well she never knew there would come a day like this
When she'd have to give johnny a good bye kiss

I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode

Well now she finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
When johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in love
As soon as he was married he'd bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad trck
And every time you heard that locomotive roar
She'd be standing there waiting at the kitchen door

I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode


14.Mon Cherie

Well i was out the other evening
On a walk when i decided to
Take myself a little stroll through the park
I was young and i was feeling no pain
Well i was a happy man not a care in this world
A real up and comer with an eye for the girls
When i saw something that just about set
My young heart a flame
Well i introduced myself and i said nice night for a walk
But i couldn't understand a thing she said when she talked
And i said honey, let's get something straight between you and
me
Well that's when she settled down on the park bench
Her skirt rolled and i could see she was french
And my heart said toujours l'amour, avec mon amour

My my mon cheri

Anytime that is good for you

She feels such amour for a fine young sweet pierre
We're in love together hope it'll always be
My sweet darling cheri and me
Because together we generate such savoir faire

My my mon cheri
Baby i should would be delighted in your company
Anytime that is good for you
Would be convenient with me

Tonight tonight, i feel just fine
Out on the streets and right out of my mind
And i know everything that a good boy should know
So darlin you gotta tell me which way the winds gonna blow
I'm old enough to know what's wrong and what's right

With the way you walk there ain't no mistake
My finger starts a shakin' knees start to quake
And i'm gonna love you baby until i'm completely spent
Turn around jack back up and be a hundred percent
Turn a mouse into a man a man into dynamite

18.Sheila

The other night, i had a dream
I was dying in desert sand
And then above watching over me
Stood an angel with a golden hand

(chorus)
Singing sheila sheila, sheila sheila
Screeling and a reeling
Sheila sheila, sheila sheila, sheila sheila
My heart she was stealing

Living here in this old town
There ain't a lot to do
And after work i just ride around
Looking out for something new
When i saw you standing in a drugstore
Trying on your diamond ring
Had to run in jujp through the front door
Grab your hand and start to sing about

(repeat chorus)

She don't run, she don't hide
Sheila thinks that everyone is beautiful inside

Sheila put your red dress on and let your long hair down
We're gonna make them turn the lights on
On the hill at the edge of town
I was lost and on my own i was lost and broken down
And when you sing that old shirelle song
I'm the king with the golden crown

Singing na na na na oh sheila sheila (say 3 times)

Sheila's inside of the night, trying to take me into the light(4
or more times)


19.Six Years Gone

It's been forever and a day since i felt like this
Want a fifth of wild turkey and i wanna lip kiss
And i don't miss that girl
If i did i wouldn't let it show
I might go to the moon
Might wind up dead
Wake up in morning in a strangers bed
Well i'm not concerned with any of that no more

Six years gone
Water through my hands
Well you can blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man

Well i'm in no mood to fight
No mood to bicker
Sittin' in the back seat
Drinkin' your liquor
And everything tonight suits me just fine
Well now that little girl beside me really knows my name
That i should say she loves me just the same
But i'm not about to say no when she offers me a ride

Six years gone
Water through my hands
Well you can blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man

Six years gone
Water through my hands
Well you can blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man
Yeah blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man


20.The Myth Of Love

Oh, the myth of love
Like some new best friend
The bright promise of tomorrow
And tomorrow without end
Oh but i should know better
Life is no wishing well
Yeah there's a story here baby
But it's so hard to tell

You might say that innocence
Is my only crime
And the myth of love
Walks a thin hard line

Well i hear you talkin'
But i just don't want to talk about it now
I can't seem to find my way back, way back down
I get no surprises
I get no soft and lonely
Watch your pretty blue eyes
As they turn on me

You might say that blindness
Is my only crime
And the myth of love
Is a light that will not shine

Oh baby hold me close
So i cannot breathe
Hold me close to this sweet earth
So i cannot leave it
Oh the myth of love
Like some clarion call
It could save us save us one and all

You might say that innocence
Is my only crime
And the myth of love
Laugh and spins the hands of time
And i said the myth of love
