Hey Boy Blue, can't you hear all the noise. It's for you, all the town's waiting there. Let us go, there's a show like you ain't seen before. Welcome home, where you been all these years. Look around, all the crowd is in tears. It's so good to see you in
Summer days, where did you go, You've let me down so bad, Clouds fill the sky, Gone is the dream My happy hunting ground Wild buffalo played and I never saw a rainy day. But it looks like summer days ain't coming back. March April May, June and July, You took me for a fall. Big chief he lie. Cold wind blows cool, so cold to make you die. Mountain breeze, ocean bay and I never saw a rainy day. But it looks like them summer days ain't coming back. Laredo Tornado, Adios amigos. What can you do, when your dream world is gone. And your friends and lovers too. West Winter Street under the ground, The air that makes you choke, Towers of concrete, hellish go-round, Were there when I awoke. City sky, pouring down with rain That can never hope to ease the pain. And it looks like summer days ain't coming back. x 2
Midnight, on the water, I saw, the ocean's daughter, Walking on a wave's chicane, Staring as she called my name. And I can't get it out of my head, No I can't get it out of my head. Now my old world is gone for dead, 'Cos I can't get it out of my
The dreamer, the unwoken fool, In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow. The love of ages fills the head. The days that linger there in prey of emptiness, of burned out dreams. The minutes calling through the years. The universal dreamer rises up above his earthly burden. Journey to the dead of night. High on a hill in Eldorado
The world outside don't like us much 'Cause they ain't got our classy touch But they ain't good enough to breathe This town's good air, we make 'em leave
CHORUS But it's no, no, no, you really can't do that No, no, no, down home town
No monkey business in this town Well, who do you think you're pushing 'round This town's respectable and clean Just look around, you'll see what I mean
CHORUS
Down home town, down home town
CHORUS
We got the best town band around, just listen to their crazy sound When they get hot they gonna blow ucedemwinnin every show Down home town, down home town
Away, the joker's closing in, reform and they will win, the light is fading fast I know, you know, they know, we all know, everybody's gonna burn down
The girls come crawling on all fours, banging on locked doors, high cards all the time I know, you know, they know, we all know Everybody's gonna burn down
Play me another hand, lose everything I am, until we meet again
The ace that's hiding up your sleeve will cause the world to grieve, the love you had is gone I know, you know, they know, we all know The dream in every player's heart, to win it all, not part, they lie awake at night I know, you know, they know, we all know
The game where the gamblers rule the night And get your blood they might, the joker's closin' in I know, you know, they know, we all know
I remember somewhere in the rain, the faces of the passers-by, staring faces, broken blinds I recall the situation clearly, standing in a crowded car, I can feel the need in me
CHORUS Hold on, nightrider baby, hold on, you're a nightrider Riding the night, searching for what is gone Never reaching the end, so you must travel on
I still see that vision of delight, while cruising on the black of night, but she keeps a step ahead Looking out the corner of her world, nobody ever knows a girl who once lived along this way
CHORUS
Desolation, degradation row, go on, don't let the feeling show, she's a ten, a penny dream Faces with no name and no address keep staring in on my distress, but she kills me with her smile
You made a fool of me But them broken dreams have got to end Hey woman you got the blues Cause you ain't got no one else to use There's an open road that leads no where So just make some miles between here and there There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in You took my body and played to win Ha, ha woman, it's a crying shame But you ain't got nobody else to blame
Evil woman, evil woman Evil woman, evil woman
Rolled in from another town Hit some gold, too hot to settle down But a fool and his money soon go separate ways And you found a fool lyin' in a daze Ha ha woman What you gonna do You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you It's so good that you're feelin' pain But you better get your face board the very next train (repeat chorus)
Evil woman how you done me wrong But now you're to wail a different song Ha, ha funny how you broke me up ]You made the wine now you drink a cup I come runnin' every time you cried I thoughjt I saw love smilin' in your eyes Ha, ha very nice to know That you ain't got no place left to go (repeat chorus)
