Two Hit Jimmy 03:05

This is my game, now I make the rules You already lost, but you don't get it, do you? If you hit me, you know I'll hit you twice Oh, and you already know my attacks are precise Are you listening? Could you come again? I don't think you're hearing Your time is up Don't get mad, I'm just marking my territory I'll throw you out when you walk in, but then you'll have a story A story of how you got beat at your own game Oh, by a thing that you tried, but just could not contain Are you listening? Could you come again? I don't think you're hearing Your time is up Here's the countdown Are you ready for your final round? You better strap up your guns, son Ready or not, 'cause here I come! Are you listening? Could you come again? I don't think you're hearing Your time is up

Revolver 04:31
lyrics

A little lady said that she wanted to play She told me I'm the man who's gonna make her day I looked her in the eye and said, "That's not what I do But I would be more than pleased to hang around with you" In the dark of the night Everybody feels all right In the dark of the night Come with me for a ride and you'll have the time of your life She whispered in my ear, "Come with me now, let's go I'm going to prove to you the more you see the more you know" That girl's like a gun, you pull the trigger and you're dead I met the revolver and this here is what she said She said, In the dark of the night Everybody feels all right In the dark of the night, whoa Come with me for a ride and you'll have the time of your life In the dark of the night Everybody feels all right In the dark of the night, whoa Come with me for a ride and you'll have the time of your life

Well babe, I think we’ve got a problem It’s been too long since you’ve gone away Our heads used to get ahead of our tongues But now our conversation’s starting to stray Now I’m sitting here all alone Girl, you know I’ve got nothing to hide I’ve been searching through an empty home but Girl, you know there ain’t nothing to find, no Gotta pick the lesser of two evils But the lesser evil ain’t as good Maybe I had an ulterior motive Maybe I ain’t doing what I should Gotta sort it through all the commotion Gotta figure how it’s gonna be 3-2-1 then you dive in ahead now Girl your loving ain’t gonna be free Now I’m backed in a corner And I’m doubled over I’ve gotta get this feeling Out of my mind, yeah Girl, you look so good from miles away and it’s Always good to hear you say that Every hour more is one less away But there’s twenty four hours in every day Feels so wrong but it seems so right that I’ll Never give up this hard-and-fast fight And fifteen hundred miles is just a number Ain’t a number in the world that ever kept me from her, no Oh no, oh no Now I’m backed in a corner And I’m doubled over I’ve gotta get this feeling Out of my mind, yeah Girl, you look so good from miles away and it’s Always good to hear you say that Every hour more is one less away But there’s twenty four hours in every day Feels so wrong but it seems so right that I’ll Never give up this hard-and-fast fight And fifteen hundred miles is just a number Ain’t a number in the world that ever kept me from her, no

When I get up, I go back to the heat 'Cause there ain't nothing harder than trying to be me Man, I work all day and I sleep all night And it's a real tough job just to be all right You know, you keep on the ground and pick me up when I fall And I promise not to cause you no more trouble at all But it's a mighty fine thing between me and you So baby, never say never unless you know it's true Uh huh, oh yeah This is what I've been waiting for Uh huh, oh yeah I won't keep waiting anymore If you're a fan of this kind of belief Well babe, you're going to find that I am a hell of a relief But it's not all fun and it ain't all games, babe We got to skip town and maybe change our names Now, I know I brought the danger, put you in harms way But I promised you this wouldn't be a regular day So after all the things I've said and all that you've done Well tell me pretty girl, now have you had fun? Uh huh, oh yeah This is what I've been waiting for Uh huh, oh yeah I won't keep waiting anymore Uh huh, oh yeah This is what I've been waiting for Uh huh, oh yeah I won't keep waiting anymore

Turning Point 02:23

I’ve got a problem With the way you walk I’ve got a problem baby With the way you talk Why did you leave me alone On the dance floor? I wanna know Just how it feels To know that you’re worthless In and out of your heels Why did you leave me alone On the dance floor? And now you’re running to me Trying to come back home But it won’t work this time No you’ll have to watch me go I’m leaving you this time That ain’t no lie And don’t try to kid yourself honey This time it’s goodbye I’m going to leave you alone On the dance floor And now you’re running to me Trying to come back home But it won’t work this time No you’ll have to watch me go

When I was just a boy, my mama said "Don't worry, sweet child, lay down your head" But now that left is right and up is down It won't be too much longer I'll be in this town But I want to know when I can take you away from here We'll go anyplace where our heads and hearts are clear So baby, take my hand and run away with me When I became a man, I was told You're never gonna stop running before you get old But now I see everything in a new direction 'Cause living easy is my predilection And I want to know when I can take you away from here We'll go anyplace where our heads and hearts are clear So baby, take my hand and run away with me When I turn 65, I'll be all right Never have to run, never have to fight Babe, I can give you everything you need 'Cause, man, it feels so good to be this free And I want to know when I can take you away from here We'll go anyplace where our heads and hearts are clear So baby, take my hand Baby, take my hand Baby, take my hand and run away with me
