Drivin' Wheel
(4:31)**
Price / Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Feelin' good, can't be real, must be dreamin' 'bout my drivin' wheel.
Rollin' on, drivin' on, come to me and rock me all night long.
We've got a roll goin', too good to stop.
Flyin' high, we've got too far to drop.
Everybody needs somebody to love,
I've got you, and that's love enough.
You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel
Powerful love, steady roll, move my body and it rock my soul.
Let me ride, let me slide, got that lovin' feelin', way down inside.
You got me walkin', goin' round and around,
You got me talkin', but I can't hear a sound.
Love comes easy when the going is tough,
May be crazy - I may be in love.
You're my drivin' wheel, yeah - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah -
You're my drivin' wheel, yeah.
Every night feelin' high, flyin' right, can't believe all the love that I feel.
Easy rider, you're a love exciter, you're my love, you're my drivin' wheel.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
You're my drivin' wheel - You're my drivin' wheel, yeah -
You're my drivin' wheel.
Y-o-u-'r-e my drivin' wheel.
Keep on drivin' me baby - 'cause you're my drivin' wheel,
I love the way I feel - 'cause you're my - 'cause your my drivin' wheel.
Let me ride, let me slide, whoo!
C'mon baby, give it to me baby.
Yea we gotta ride, we gotta ride, we gotta ride, we gotta ride,
We gotta ride, ride, ride, yeah.
I'll Be Standing By
(3:47)**
Price / Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Standing in the shadows
Waiting for your love light to shine on me
When you're lonely and the pain shows
Call me, I'll be right there to set you free
Walking down a dark road to loneliness
The night has no mercy
I feel a need in me I can't express
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
Come to me, when you're lonely
You need someone to love, let it be me
The way you love me and hold me
Made me realize how sweet love can be
Standing on a backstreet in the falling rain,
Cryin' for mercy, until you come to me and ease the pain
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
{Rod - Solo}
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
I'll be standing by
There'll be no need to cry
I'll be standing by
Third Time Lucky
(4:10)
Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Its all behind me, there's good luck up ahead,
Can't break what's left of my heart.
Once bitten, twice shy, this time it feels so good,
I'd hate to see it fall apart.
First love I had was seventeen, and I was younger,
Love to us was some kind of game.
In all my letters, said I never would forget her - now,
I can't recall her name.
The first time I was a fool, I never knew that love could be so cruel.
It happened to me again - Third time lucky.
{Instrumental}
I was in love one time, I thought it was the real thing,
But I kept the feelings to myself.
Afraid to show it, expected her to know,
It was the reason she found someone else.
Its all behind me, there's good luck up ahead,
Can't break what's left of my heart.
Once bitten, twice shy, this time it feels so good,
I'd hate to see it fall apart.
The first time I was a fool, I never knew that love could be so cruel.
It happened to me again - Third time lucky. Oh yeah, yeah.
{Solo}
The first time I was a fool, I never knew that love could be so cruel.
It happened to me again - Third time lucky. Oh yea-ee-yeah
The first time I was a fool, I never knew that love could be so cruel.
It happened to me again - Third time lucky. Oh yea-ee-yeah.
The first time I was a fool, I never knew that love could be so cruel.
It happened to me again - Third time lucky. Oh yea-ee-yeah...
The first time I was a fool...
I Just Want To Make Love To You
(4:18)
M. Dixon / W. Dixon - Arc Music Corp. - BMI
I don't want you, cook my bread,
I don't want you, make my bed,
I don't want your money too,
I just wanna make love to you.
I don't want you, be no slave,
I don't want you, work all day,
I don't want you to be sad and blue,
I just wanna make love to you.
I can tell by the way that you baby talk,
I can see by the way that you switch and walk,
I can tell by the way that you treat your man,
But I could love you baby, it's a cryin' shame.
I don't want you, wash my clothes,
I don't want you, keep a home,
I don't want you to be true,
I just wanna make love to you.
{Rod - Solo}
I don't want you, be no slave,
I don't want you, work all day,
I don't want you to be true,
I just wanna make love to you.
I don't want you, keep a home,
I don't want you, wash my clothes,
I don't want you to be true,
I just wanna make love...
Fool For The City
(3:30)**
Dave Peverett - Knee Trembler Music - ASCAP
Goin' to the city, got you on my mind,
Country sure is pretty, I'll leave it all behind,
This is my decision, I'm comin' home to stay this time.
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
Fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun,
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run.
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come!
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city.
{Rod - Solo}
I ain't no country boy, I'm just a homesick man.
I'm gonna hit the grit just as fast as I can.
I'll get off on Main Street, step into the crowd,
Sidewalk under my feet, yeah, traffic's good and loud.
When I see my inner city child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud.
'Cause I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city,
I'm a fool for the city, I'm a fool for the city
I'm a fool, (Fool for the city) A crazy fool, (Fool for the city)
I'm a fool yea, (Fool for the city) A fool for the city, (Fool for the city)
(Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
I ain't no country boy, woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)
Woo! (Fool for the city) (Fool for the city)...
What A Shame
(3:25)
Rod Price - Knee Trembler Music - ASCAP
Room 57 in the midnight hour,
I'm fresh out of coffee and the cream turned sour.
I'm thinkin' 'bout the people I've been talkin' to,
Been here a long time and nobody knew.
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.
What a shame, what a shame,
What a shame, what a shame.
Good music on the radio,
A whole lotta people don't wanna know.
They say that black is black and white is white,
You can't cross over 'cause it don't seem right.
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.
What a shame, what a shame,
What a shame, what a shame.
{Rod - Solo}
Ain't it shame, ain't it a pity, the bluebird's gone from the windy city.
What a shame, what a shame,
What a shame, what a shame.
Stranger In My Home Town
(4:18)
Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Who's that stranger walking out in the cold?
Standing on the corner with his Kodachrome roll?
He may be a psychopath, he's acting so strange,
Lying to himself, saying nothing has changed.
He stares across at a house on the block,
Trying to find the courage to go over and knock.
What will he say when they open the door?
"This was my home, but it ain't no more."
He can't get Brixton, out of his system.
It seems so pathetic, yeah, but it's hard to forget it.
Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
Jumped into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.
Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.
Who's that Peeping Tom climbing the wall?
Staring at the back yard, he's gonna fall.
He looks so suspicious, I should called the law,
I wish I could remember where I've seen him before.
Sunrise to sundown, stumbling through London town.
He acts like he's stranded, but that's how he planned it.
Way back in '59, a young boy was crying, he didn't want to leave, but what could he say?
Jump into the lorry, left there in a hurry, never knowing he'd back some day.
Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.
{Dave - Solo}
Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Could this street be a part of me? I can't believe it - this ain't no place to be.
Stranger in my home town, I'm just a stranger in my home town.
Stranger in my home town, whoo! Stranger in my home town. I'm just a stranger.
{Dave - Solo}
I'm a stranger, a stranger - I'm a stranger, a stranger ...
Ride, Ride, Ride
(4:25)
Rod Price / Dave Peverett - Knee Trembler Music - ASCAP
I believed, this time it wouldn't be too long,
Guaranteed, but now I see that I was wrong,
Seems like our love is fading, I know the reason why,
We can't talk about it, I'm too far away to try,
And I see the train arrive - And I see the train arrive.
Every night, I laughed at all the bad advice,
They were right, and I'm the one who paid the price,
We gotta get together and conquer all the hate,
Time is runnin' out, it might even be too late,
And I see the train arrive - And I see the train arrive.
Ride, ride, ride, ride - Ride, ride, ride, ride.
So many roads to travel, So many trains to ride
So many trains to ride, Ain't no need for you to worry
Ain't no need for you to worry, Love is on my side
Don't break down, love is on our side
Ride, ride, ride, ride - Ride, ride, ride, ride.
And I see the train arrive
{Rod - Solo}
Here I am, a bunch of tickets in my hand,
Uncle Sam, Afraid I gotta leave your land,
I'm lookin' to the future, the past is dead and gone,
No peace for the wicked and time keeps me movin' on.
And I see the train arrive - And I see the train arrive.
Ride, ride, ride, ride - Ride, ride, ride, ride.
See the train arrive
And I see the train arrive -
And I see the train arrive -
And I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
And I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
I see the train arrive - See the train arrive
I see the train - See the train arrive
I see the train - See the train arrive
Stone Blue
(3:59)**
Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP
Wind tearin' through the backstreet, I hear the rhythm of my heart beat,
Rain blowin' to my face, I'm tired of being in the wrong place.
Blues knockin' on my back door, I can't jump from the second floor,
Turn up the radio higher and higher, rock and roll music set my ears on fire.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
Laid off work and I can't be free, I need some rock 'n' roll therapy.
Put on a 45 and let the needle ride, jukebox jumps and I'll be satisfied.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Rock and roll in my soul, got me losin' control,
Let it roll, let it roll, let it roll, let it roll!
Stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
Stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
(Stone blue) Walkin' on a backstreet,
(Stone blue) I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat.
(Stone blue) Pick up the beat 'n' start to run,
(Stone blue) I'll be home before the mornin' sun.
(Stone blue) Rain blowin' to my face,
(Stone blue) I'm tired of bein' in the wrong place.
{Instrumental}
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
When I was stone blue, rock and roll sure helped me through.
Turn up my radio, turn it up, yeah, higher and higher,
Turn it up, turn it up, whoo, yeah, higher and higher.
{Instrumental}
You gotta help me through - you gotta help me through,
You gotta help me through - you gotta help me through,
You gotta help me through - you gotta help me through,
You gotta help me through - you gotta help me through.
When I was stone blue, when I was stone blue,
Gotta help me through, help me through...
