You can't go home if you're goin' by the mill 'Cause the bridge washed out at the bottom of the hill The Big Creek's up and the Little Creek's level I plow my corn with a double shovel Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you can't stay a little longer Sittin' in the window, singin' to my love Slop bucket fell from the window above Mule and the grasshopper eatin' ice cream Mule got sick, so they laid him on the green Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you can't stay a little longer Well, you ought to see my Blue-Eyed Sally She lives a-way down on Shinbone Alley The number on the gate, number on the door The next house over is the grocery store Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you can't stay a little longer Stay all night, stay a little longer Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off your coat, throw it in the corner I don't see why you don't stay a little longer Don't see why you can't stay a little longer

I've been sitting here wondering if I'll ever get Back to those wheels, will I ever be Changing those strings out before nine I am wishing for the life that I used to live Giving everything that I had to give In a brand new city 'bout every night Missing those nights, missing that sky, I been missing home Missing their smiles, missing those miles, I been missing home Out there on the highway, out there on the open road Ooh baby will you roll with me, roll with me Head down to New Orleans I should be wearing out the blacktop Out there with the boys I love Everybody will you roll with me, roll with me Running down this dream And get me out there on the highway I've been sitting here asking him every night For a brand new song and a piece of mind The road is all I think about these days All I need is out there, I will be just fine With a 6 string guitar and a jug of wine When the lights go down around that stage Missing those nights, missing that sky, I been missing home Yeah, I been missing home Out there on the highway, out there on the open road Ooh baby will you roll with me, roll with me Head down to New Orleans I should be wearing out the blacktop Out there with the boys I love Everybody will you roll with me, roll with me Running down this dream I miss the sound of rubber rolling out my window And that crescendo the highway brings Oh, these wheels are gonna keep me spinning all my days Out here on the highway Roll with me, roll with me Yeah honey will you roll with me, roll with me Out there on the highway

I smoked Consulates and Park Drive, Drank Nookie Brown, learned how to skive Polo mints to hide my breath from my Mum. Did a little weed 'cause it felt like fun, Did a little speed if my friend had some. Nicked Volkswagon badges, I'm a Beastie Boys son, Me so horny, me so young, and I still get my washing done. Auntie Jo died of cancer, God didn't have an answer, Rhythm was a dancer, any room for a chancer, That's me in the corner, thanks Sir. Wore a Troop track suit, British Knights shoes, Kangol hat like L.L. Cools, Before I was having it, having it large, They nicked the B.M.X. from out my garage. And I knew it was Tier from off the estate, 'Cause every time he see me he smiled like we were mates, Then on in, I'd have to walk to me Nan's and I'll dream my dreams for a sea of prams. Like a hooligan on the football stands and I throw the V's to Leeds and Westham, And then I ran, I ran so far away, Down Scotia Road to a taxi bay. Then I ran again 'cause I couldn't pay, Young Muslim didn't get his fare that day, I apologise today... Things look better when they start, That's how the 80's broke my heart. And who are you calling puff, You like Wham, man, I hate that stuff! And then my Granddad died and left a hole in the family, With lots of women there to nanny me. School was a laugh, they didn't have A.D.D, Thick was the term they used for me. Over and over, repeatedly, over and over... Take my breathe away, pass the bidley bidley bidley bidley bong, Pass it on the left hand side, Right turn, Clyde. That girl in the fourth year got pregnant, She was raised Catholic, brilliant... I cried, she cried, we cried, Her youth died. Drank cider in the cemetery, The year above us had discovered 'E'. And I said it weren't for me, Twelve pounds fifty, I could rob my mum's purse and buy one off Chalky. Met a girl on Monday, drank fizzy pop on Tuesday, Fingered her on Wednesday, and on Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday. Dumped by Sunday. Things look better when they start, That's how the 80's broke my heart. The wonder years I've played my part, That's how the 80's broke my heart. Like I said, I lost my virginity to a girl called Anne-Marie. Well, she said she fancied me, And then she said "Fuck me" and I thought fuck me, And I'm all talk and it'll be over too quickly. And it was but I couldn't care less, I'd seen a girl's part, made a mess on her dress, Oh yes, you're now rocking with the best, Second person in my year that had seen a breast. I'm in my 30s now and I'm still impressed, Why the Falklands Mum, and what have they done. Where do girls come from, where do girls come from, where do girls come from? It's the 80's what you looking at, you mong? So young, so long, so young, so long... Too short, so long. What you looking at, you mong? Too short, so long, too short, so long, So long...

Singin' for the lonely You're not the only one who feels this I'm so scared of what I'm doin' All the time Here comes wasted head space Paranoia, anger misplaced Feelings leave me nowhere All the time Don't wake up early every morning 'Cause the more I sleep the less I have to say Scared of you always thinkin' that I'm boring Stop me yawning my life away Tender young confusion Send black Mariah for blue delusions Lays heavy, oh so heavy On my mind I'm so sick of people's expectations Leaves me tired all the time (I'm still a tangled target) If your home's full of worthless aggravation Then don't bring it to mine Seem to spend my life Just waiting for the chorus 'Cause the verse is never nearly Good enough The hooligan half of me That steals from Woolworths While the other lives for love I'm so sick of people's expectations Leaves me tired all the time (I'm still a tangled target) If your home's full of worthless aggravation Then don't bring it to mine Singing for the lonely You're not the only one who feels this So scared of what I'm doin' All the time Singing for the lonely You're not the only one who feels this Scared of what I'm doin' All the time (Aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa) (Aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa) (Lalalala lalalala lalalala) (Lalalala lalalala lalalala) (Lalalala lalalala lalalala)
