Step on out

My baby don't take prisoners
She leaves the walking wounded for the other girls
She's a spark in the dark out on the back lot
Shoot you down if you give her a whirl

Seems like she's seen it all before
And what she hasn't seen she's heard of
So keep your secrets hide
I got my heart out on my sleeve and an eye on the door

I'm gonna step on out, step on out
I would tramp all over this town for a dime a dance
I'm gonna step on out, step on out
She's front page news in her dancin' shoes

A screamin' head-liner romance
Instrumental (Electric Guitar)
My baby dances through life
She's a sidewalk ballerina

She takes it all in stride
Just a New York City lady only sin is pride
I'm gonna step on out, step on out
I would tramp all over this town for a dime a dance
I'm gonna step on out, step on out
She's front page news in her dancin' shoes

A screamin' head-liner romance
Ending (Electric Guitar)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh 

Yours for life

In this day and age where changes happen twice as fast
Sometimes I get wonderin' if anything will last
People changin' partners like they change their underwear
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but darlin' I still care.

And I'm yours for life
Come and be my lifetime
Come and take the love I have for only one
Yes I'm yours for life
Come and share my lifetime
Share the world until our day is done.

Time that I first saw your face I loved you where you stood
In your eyes a kindness - told me you were good
And if the world could share your heart there'd never be a war
And darlin' if I tried and tried I could not love you more

And I'm yours for life
Come and be my lifetime
Come and take the love I have for only one
Yes I'm yours for life
Come and share my lifetime
Share the world until our day is done.

Sometime I pray that you will always be the way you always
Are to me
'Cause if I lost you to the winds of change then I would cease to be. 

I want to see the bright lights tonight

I'm so tired of working every day
Now the weekend's come
I'm gonna throw my troubles away
If you've got the cab fare, mister, you'll do all right
I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

There's crazy people running all over town
There's a silver band, just marching up and down
And the big boys are all spoiling for a fight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

Meet me at the station, don't be late
I need to spend some money and it just won't wait
Take me to the dance and hold me tight
I want to see the bright lights tonight

A couple of drunken nights rolling on the floor
Is just the kind of…

It never rains in Southern California

Got on board a westbound 747
Didn't think before deciding what to do
Oh, that talk of opportunities, TV breaks and movies
Rang true, sure rang true

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self respect, I'm out of bread
I'm underloved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours

Will you tell the folks back home I nearly made it?
Had offers but didn't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Gimme a break, give me a break

Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California
But girl, don't they warn ya?
It pours, man, it pours 

Play something sweet

Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show
(again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin'
what you're playin' just can't make it
But I can't take it anymore"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset,
'cause you just might break a string and that won't
do a thing for your show"
So I said to myself
I said, "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

It's enough to make it light the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet

Well, I tried to run my game
She said, "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before
And I'm too tired to go for your show"
(again and again)
And she started to explain
She said, "Man, I ain't sayin'
what you're playin' just can't make it, but I
just can't take it
any more"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
