1. Shin Kicker
Well, it's a shin-kick morning
Gotta kickstart the day
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way.
Well, a burning fever
Woke me up at dawn
I didn't have no choice, I had to carry on.
Well, my engine's overheating
And I'm running out of gas
I only got the two speeds and it's slow and fast.
Well, I got to find a town that's got some action
Got to find a place stays open late
Right away.
C.C. Mama
Motorcycle queen
I'm gonna catch up with you with my lightning wheels.
sure look good in those tight blue jeans
It's cold black coffee
Eggs and grease
Stop in at the truckstop, I don't want to sleep.
Well, it's a shin-kick morning
I'm gonna turn up the heat
I'm racing all the truckers and I got them beat
2. Brute Force and Ignorance
Brute Force and Ignorance,
Just hit town,
Looking like survivors,
From the Lost and Found.
Brute Force and Ignorance,
Have come to play,
A one-night stand at eight o`clock,
Then they`ll be on their way.
This old town`s exploding,
And the mayor`s uptight,
He`d like to make it to the show,
But he knows it`s not his night.
He`s got to be beholding,
To his legal spouse,
But she`s put the thumbscrews on him,
And snuck out of the house.
There she goes.
The picture on the poster,
Raised an eyebrow or two,
At fifty-five to seven,
Lord, you should`ve seen the queue.
City slick and country hick,
They came one and all,
The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids,
Assembled in the hall.
Brute Force and Ignorance,
Yes, that`s the name,
The young folks gonna miss them,
Now they`ve gone away.
Well, the show got so crazy,
Today they took the billboard down,
I`ll never forget the scene last night,
When the band was escorted out of town.
This little town`s back in slow motion,
I`m sad to say,
After the confusion,
It`ll never be the same.
Well, I took a walk down Main Street,
Just to pass the time,
And I could hear that music,
Still rolling through my mind.
Brute Force and Ignorance,
They sure hit town,
And if you want to find them, buddy,
They`re down at the Lost and Found.
3. Cruise On Out
Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.
You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna cruise on down the line.
Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.
Well that cat I will be paying,
C'mon and get your share,
I've got transportation,
And I can get you there.
Well I know your daddy's anxious,
That you told a lie,
I guess he's goin' to blow his stack,
If you don't come home on time.
Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.
Yeah
Well this feelin' I will pick it,
Just as long as you will stay,
The boys in the band will play all night,
If they would have their way.
If you want to dress up to the night,
And look like something else,
I'm goin' to put on my alligator shoes,
I'll go out to play
Come on cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.
Well, the fat man plays that upright,
Freeze you at the knees,
This band's in full control,
Of 37 and one half keys.
In this full scale commotion,
The place will never drop,
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too pooped to pop.
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too stuped to stop.
Come on cruise on out with me,
Well, won't you cruise on out with me.
Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,

And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna step on down the line.

4. Cloak And Dagger
Oww...
She's got that cloak and dagger,
Sidewalk swagger,
Silent danger in her style.
An air of mystery,
You know it hit me,
When I saw those flashing lines.
You know it hit me,
When I saw those flashing lines.
Oh no, well don't you run and hide,
Lord I've been hypnotized,
Lord I've been hypnotized,
Use no small town chatter,
She got the moonlight manner.
Use sleight of hand,
Tricks of the light.
She got the moonlight manner.
Use sleight of hand,
Tricks of the light.
Ain't no pretender,
She's a real contender.
Snakes and ladders ain't her style.
She's a real contender.
Snakes and ladders ain't her style.
Oh no, well don't drive me wild,
Oww.. I'm feeling so mystified.
Oww.. I'm feeling so mystified.
Oh..yeah...
Owww...
Oh yeah, you know you drive me wild,
Well I'm feeling so mystified.
Well I'm feeling so mystified.
Owww...
I've got that awkward stammer,
I just sorta stand there.
Some crazy feeling,
Cramps my style.
I just sorta stand there.
Some crazy feeling,
Cramps my style.
I should know better,
She's a real upsetter.
Well that moonlight manner,
Has got my mind.
She's a real upsetter.
Well that moonlight manner,
Has got my mind.
Oh yeah, well don't you run and hide,
Oh yeah, I feel hypnotized.
Oh yeah, I feel hypnotized.
5. Overnight Bag
Pack my things in overnight bag
A toothbrush, a guitar, got no tail to drag
I'm gonna leave on the next passing breeze
My heart is heavy, there's a sky full of rain
Mind full of notions that I just can't explain
Reasons why just can't be supplied
Trapped by a heartache and freed by my will
Sentenced to wander, so much time to kill
Hear my plea and rescue me
Packed my sorrows in an overnight bag
But I'll be gone much longer than that
Who knows when we'll meet again
Too many sleepless nights put my soul on edge
So many restless moods play heavy in my head
Too many sleepless nights put my soul on edge
And so many restless moods play heavy in my head
Wrote down my thoughts and I sealed them in hope
Sent them to you in a blue envelope
Not received it seems to me
I had some things that I wanted to say
But my chance, well it just blew away
On the breeze, like some mystery
6. Shadow Play
In the flinty light, it's midnight, and stars collide
Shadows run, in full flight, to run, seek and hide
I'm still not sure what part I play,
in this shadow play, this shadow play
In the half light, on this mad night, I hear a voice in time
Well, I look back, see a half-smile, then it's gone from sight
Won't you tell me how I can find my way?
In this shadow play, this shadow play
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Sounds come crashing, and I hear laughing
All those lights just blaze away
I feel a little strange inside
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
Sounds come crashing, can I hear laughing?
All those lights just blaze away
I feel a little strange inside
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
Thoughts run wild, free as a child, into the night
Across the screen a thin beam, of magic light
Things they just don't look the same
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away from this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
Shadows run, in full flight, to run, seek and hide
I'm still not sure what part I play,
in this shadow play, this shadow play
In the half light, on this mad night, I hear a voice in time
Well, I look back, see a half-smile, then it's gone from sight
Won't you tell me how I can find my way?
In this shadow play, this shadow play
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Sounds come crashing, and I hear laughing
All those lights just blaze away
I feel a little strange inside
A little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
Sounds come crashing, can I hear laughing?
All those lights just blaze away
I feel a little strange inside
A little Dr. Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde
Thoughts run wild, free as a child, into the night
Across the screen a thin beam, of magic light
Things they just don't look the same
In this shadow play, this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
I can't run away from this shadow play
Shadow play, shadow play
7. The Mississippi Sheiks
I saw the Mississippi Sheiks,
On the corner of the street,
Oh, was it just a dream,
Like I've been traveling in a time machine.
On the corner of the street,
Oh, was it just a dream,
Like I've been traveling in a time machine.
Ohhh.
So come along with me,
Back to the southern streets,
Back to the southern streets,
I saw old Peg Leg Howell,
His gang was making quite a sound,
I heard Bo Carter wail,
And that git-fiddle-combo played.
His gang was making quite a sound,
I heard Bo Carter wail,
And that git-fiddle-combo played.
Come along and see,
The Mississippi Sheiks.
The Mississippi Sheiks.
Come on.....
What you gotta lose,
Can't ya hear me callin', calling you?
To beware should you fall, You've never lived at all,
Till you've done that Georgia crawl,
Can't ya hear me callin', calling you?
To beware should you fall, You've never lived at all,
Till you've done that Georgia crawl,
Well, I hear you little girl,
You say you've been around this world.
From Moscow to Abilene,
But there is one place you've yet to see,
You say you've been around this world.
From Moscow to Abilene,
But there is one place you've yet to see,
So, come along and see,
The Mississippi Sheiks.
The Mississippi Sheiks.
