It’s been a minute
Since I felt so good
I must admit it
It’s ‘cause of you that I could
It’s kinda funny
When you look at me
I got no money
But we can dance for free
So what’s shakin’
‘cause I’m achin’
To get shakin’
Baby, you can see
So let’s get with it
‘cause you know
It’s been a minute
Since you danced with me
It’s been a minute
Since you came my way
I must admit it
You know I wish you would stay
It’s kinda funny
When you look at me
I got no money
But we can dance for free
So what’s shakin’
‘cause I’m achin’
To get shakin’
Baby, you can see
So let’s get with it
‘cause you know
It’s been a minute
Since you danced with me

Detroit

Broke down in Knoxville, Tennessee
It’s seven more miles to where I wanna be
Come on, take me down to Detroit
‘cause I got a good feeling
People wanna rock and roll tonight
Painted lady’s waiting, she’s my Hamtramck mama
No money, no car and the drive’s too far
Come on, take me down to Detroit
She’s got a crank-shaft boogie
And I wanna see her shake tonight
Just tryin’ to get to the gig tonight
I wanna rock and roll boogie
Wanna rip it up, alright
Come on, take me down to Detroit
‘cause I got a good feeling
Don’t wanna hang around tonight

Working Class Truth
02:30
|

|
I lost my job last Saturday night
I don’t got any money and I don’t feel right
It cost too much just to keep me fed
Now I’m sleeping on a couch ‘cause I sold my bed
I don’t really know what I’m gonna do
But I know that I’m still in love with you
And I’m hoping and I’m praying
That you still love me too
I’m staying in on a Saturday night
I wanna go party but I don’t feel right
Everybody thinks I’m sitting down on my ass
But no one gives a damn about the working class
I don’t really know what I’m gonna do
But I’m working two jobs just to get me through
And I know my rent is due
In about a week or two

San Francisco Bay Blues
02:31
|

|
I got the blues from my baby left me by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner took her so far away
I didn’t mean to treat her so bad, she was the best I ever had
Made me cry, when I said goodbye, I gonna sit right down and die
I ain’t got no nickel, ain’t got no lousy dime
If she don’t come back, I swear I’ll lose my mind
If she ever come back to stay, it’s gonna be a brand new day
Rollin’ with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
Sitting lookin’ through the back door, wonder which way to go
Girl, I’m crazy ‘bout you but you can’t love me no more
Think I’ll hop me a freight train, man, ‘cause I’m feelin’ blue
Ride all the way to the end of the line, thinkin’ only of you
Meanwhile drivin’ though the city, just about to go insane
Thought I heard my baby and the way she used to call my name
If ya ever come back to stay, it’s gonna be a brand new day
Rollin’ with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
Rollin’ with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liner took her so far away
I didn’t mean to treat her so bad, she was the best I ever had
Made me cry, when I said goodbye, I gonna sit right down and die
I ain’t got no nickel, ain’t got no lousy dime
If she don’t come back, I swear I’ll lose my mind
If she ever come back to stay, it’s gonna be a brand new day
Rollin’ with my baby down by San Francisco Bay

Not Cut out for Love
03:35
|
|||
|
You tried to tell me a thousand times
But something just ain’t gettin’ through
And I could tell you a thousand lies
’til I got nothing left to prove
Oh, I don’t know what to do
I guess what they say is true
That I’m not, no I’m not
No I’m not, no I’m not
No I’m not, no
I’m not cut out for love
You tried to tell me a thousand times
That it’s just not gonna work
I know I told about a thousand lies
And now I look like a jerk
Well, please, won’t you remember all the good times we had
You know, baby, it wasn’t all so bad
There’s nothing left that I should say
‘cause you won’t think about it anyway
Oh, if I only knew what to do
I’d do it all, do it all for you
But I’m not, no I’m not
No I’m not, no I’m not
No I’m not, no
I’m not cut out for love
No, I’m not gonna cut it
Yeah, I know that it’s true
I guess I should shut it
‘cause I got nothing left to lose
No, I’m not, I’m not
I’m not, I’m not
No I’m not, no
I’m not cut out for love

Second-Hand Cool
03:51

|
You think you’re so hip
You think you’re so cool
You think you’re so groovy
Well, let me take you to school
‘cause you look like a fool
You’re only second-hand cool
Everybody’s craving crazy
‘cause they wanna be something new
And everybody’s raving about you
‘cause they are so easily fooled
But I can see through
You’re only second-hand cool
Second-hand cool
Woah, lord, yeah, you
Well, you look like a fool
You can stay up all night trying to learn how to be slick
You can be a little cocky now, but don’t just be a dick
Baby, come on, what’cha tryin’ to do
Who’re you tryin’ to see, baby, who’re you tryin’ to be
You think you’re so hip
You think you’re so cool
You think you’re so groovy
Well, let me take you to school
Second-hand cool

Can't Get a Break
03:07
|

|
I can’t seem to get a break
I don’t got any time to wait
Oh, I can feel it, it’s too late
Every day becomes the same
It does a number on my brain
Oh, I can feel it, I’m going insane
Can you see it in my eyes?
I got a feeling, makes me wanna die
But I’m too sick and too tired to try
And I wonder why
I know I can’t keep living like this
Every day is another list
There must be something that I have missed
I just keep getting pissed

On the 19

I’m on the 19
With some of the craziest people you’ve ever seen
As soon as I get on the bus
Someone’s already making a fuss
Can’t even find a place to sit
Someone’s already giving me shit
On the 19, on the 19
On the 19, on the 19
The craziest people you’ve ever seen
What’cha lookin’ at, man?
I’m just going to work on the other side of town
Don’t hassle me, man, I’m a local
Crazy!
On the 19, on the 19
The craziest people you’ve ever seen
