"Detroit Diesel"
1986 Space Songs Ltd.
Late at night I was driving home
Feeling tired I was all alone
I pulled in at the first truck stop motel
There she stood like a dream in the night
Hair was long and her dress was tight
Just one smile and I knew I was under her spell
You got me running like a Detroit Diesel
Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel
Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel
Like I'm in overdrive
She took my hand checked me in for the night
She said "Honey don't you put up a fight.
I want some loving and to you it's all for free."
She got me blowing like a hurricane
So much good loving driving me insane
Can't believe that you really happened to me.
You got me running like a Detroit Diesel
Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel
Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel
Like I'm in overdrive
You turn me on like an electric light
You burn me up like a missle sight
You got me running like a turbo nine forty-four
You move my soul like an original sin
You detonate me like a firing pin
When I leave you'll be coming back for more
You got me running like a Detroit Diesel
Got me humming like a Detroit Diesel
Hear me coming like a Detroit Diesel
Like I'm in overdrive
"Devil's Screaming"
1978 Warner Brothers Music Corp.
The soul is crying, to be set free
There's someone calling, inside of me
The devil's screaming, and I won't let him have his way
Oh, no, no, no
The soul is searchin', to find the key
There's so much confusion, inside of me
The devil is screaming, and I won't let him have his way
Have his way - oh, no, no, no - no, no
The life we're living, was half of gold
There's good and evil, down in my soul
The devil's screaming, and I won't let him have his way
No, let him have his way - yeah
Let the soul carry on - yeah, yeah
"Don't Want To Fight"
1986 Space Songs Ltd.
Don't want to fight, just want to love you
Just call my name, I'll be around
Right here tonight, I want to love you
It's time to stop this fooling around
Don't want to fight, just want to love you
Let's get it right this time around
Don't hang me up, I'm thinking of you
it's time to get our feet off the ground
I spent my lifetime searching
Drifting like a rolling stone
But now my heart is hurting
I've had enough, I'm coming home
Don't want to talk, just want some action
Don't stand me up, don't bring me down
I know you want some satisfaction
It's time to stop this fooling around
I know your love is still burning
I've had enough time to play
But now this yearning is turning me 'round
Don't try to fight it, don't throw it away
Don't want to fight, just want to love you
Let's get it right this time around
Don't hang me up, I'm thinking of you
it's time to get our feet off the ground
"Don't Want You Woman"
1967 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
Don't want you woman, please stay away from me
Don't want you woman, please stay away from me
Well the one I got she is, sure good enough for me
Don't call me baby, I don't think it's kind
Don't call me baby, I don't think it's kind
Well, I got another woman - don't intend to leave her behind
Don't call me baby, call me on the phone
Don't call me baby, call me on the phone
If you wanna be kind to me girl, kindly leave me alone
Don't come on up to me baby, when you see me walkin' down the town
Don't come on up to me baby, when you see me walkin' down town
Don't wanna be unkind girl, but
You ain't the kind of woman I want around - Hey right !
Don't want you woman, please stay away from me
Don't want you woman, please stay away from me
Well the one I got she is, sure good enough for me
"Double Loser"
1981 Space Songs Ltd.
Got my eyes wide open, but can't see the night
This stuff goin' round, I'm afraid is gettin' me uptight
I'm a double loser, honey just - a double loser
Well I'm all shook up, I can't do nothin' with you
I've been drinkin' too much whiskey, I've been walkin' into walls
Just can't seem to shake it, cause its got me by the balls
A double loser - all I am is double loser
Well I've been seein' double, gettin' deeper into trouble -
Double loser
Well all I am is double loser, a double loser
Oh - double loser, honey all I am is double loser
Well I just can't seem to shake it, and you know i just can't take it -
Double loser
Well my hands they start to shakin', and my head is gettin' light
Can't remember what I've taken, but I know it isn't right
A double loser - I tell the truth, a double loser
Well I just can't seem to stop it, cause you know I cannot drop it -
Double loser
Ooooh....better stop - oooh...yeah, I gotta stop before I drop - oooh,
Just can't take it - I gotta shake it, I'll never make it
Now, now , now, now - a double loser.....yeah, a double loser
Wow, a double loser - now, now, now, now - a double loser
Well I just can't seem to break it, I need you to help me shake it -
Double loser
Now, now , now, now - a double loser.....yes, a double loser
Now, now , now, now - a double loser.....baby, baby, baby - double loser
Gonna play on the percentage - this time I'm gonna wait for it to stop !
"Downhill Lady Racer"
1978 Space Songs Ltd.
I saw a downhill lady racer, really loved me when she fell
See her lovely body, Turnin' all to hell
I really meant to call her - And say, please don't risk your life
Yeah, though about my woman - And then I realized
She's a free soul
Has to live her life her way
She's a free soul
She's gonna get that way
And when I thought about my lady, Livin' in my stinkin' home
The way I always leave, Whenever I'm goin' wrong
Might think she's safe and sound - In those castles walls
But you can't protect the one you love - From takin' all those falls
She's a free soul
Has to live her life her way
She's a free soul
She's gonna get that way
