I've been rollin' my nickels and dimes. My pockets are deep as an ocean is dry. I've been looking, but I can't find a better deal to trade for my time. See me crawling all the way to the top, I've spent a lot of time and I just can't stop. I bought a rock on a pile of rubble, It ain't worth much but it's worth the trouble. I've been rockin' in my seat, 'cause I've heard knockin', and I've felt the heat. Give me the bad news, I don't care, 'cause I've seen trouble, baby, I've been there. See me crawling all the way to the top, I've spent a lot of time and I just can't stop. I bought a rock on a pile of rubble, It ain't worth much but it's worth the trouble. Ain't worth much but it's worth the trouble. I'm all worked up and I'm workin' double. Bad to worse, worse to struggle, it ain't worth much but it's worth the trouble. See me crawling all the way to the top, I've spent a lot of time and I just can't stop. I bought a rock on a pile of rubble, It ain't worth much but it's worth the trouble.

One Too Many 02:07
Got a lot of love and not a lot of moderation. I broke my baby's heart when I was on vacation. I had one too many chances to go right or wrong, I had one too many lovers, now one's gone. I took one too many rolls on a pair o' dice, I drank one too many drinks in paradise. One too many dreams, one too many to come true, I had one too many lovers and had to choose. Got a lot of ammo, took one too many shots, Got a lot of honey, that's one too many pots. One too many dreams, one too many to be real, There's one too many players on the field. I took one too many walks on the darker side, I turned my light off one too many times. One too many chances to go right or wrong, I had one too many lovers, now one's gone.

Hurricane 01:56
Hurry hurry hurry hurricane, Hurry hurry hurry hurricane. I can't get enough ever since you came, so hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane. You blew away my cellar door, now I'm up in a tornado. If I could love ya baby anymore, I think I'd spin out of control. I fell in love like a hurricane, spinnin' around in the pourin' rain. I can't get enough ever since you came, so hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane. Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane. You've got a way to keep me off of my feet and I never wanna go nowhere. If I could love ya every day of the week, I wouldn't have a moment to spare. I fell in love like a hurricane, spinnin' around in the pourin' rain. I can't get enough ever since you came, so hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane. Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane. Came right through my front door, I'm flooded with desire. Oh keep me treading more more more, as the water gets higher. Hurry hurry hurry hurricane, Hurry hurry hurry hurricane. I can't get enough ever since you came, so hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane. Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane. Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurricane.

Roll up your slacks, tuck 'em in your pack, you can leave the rest behind. It's no use, you got the same old shoes, and they're still walking just fine. When you got more liquor than luggage and a place to stay the night, it don't matter much what you got, when you're travelin' light. I put on my coat and I hit the road with a bag in my left hand. What I brought wasn't room for a lot, and now I think I understand, When you got more liquor than luggage and a place to stay the night, it don't matter much what you got, when you're travelin' light. So roll up your socks and tuck 'em in your pockets, won't ya come along with me to some town with good folks around, a piano everywhere I need. When you got more liquor than luggage and a place to stay the night, it don't matter much what you got, when you're travelin' light.

Pour a little spice in my pot, My baby's by the oven and she's smokin' hot. She's cookin' up somethin' I'm longin' for, it's smoky in the kitchen and I want some more. She's cookin' up somethin' most every night, smokin' up the bedroom in the mornin' light. Open up the pot, baby, I'll start to pour, it's smoky in the kitchen and I want some more. Where there's smoke, there's a red hot flame. Set me on fire, I'll smoke just the same. I smell what's cookin' and I melt like ice, Serve me up some more of your lovin' tonight. Pour a little sugar in my bowl. We're in the kitchen doin' the rock n' roll'. I never smelled anything like it before, it's smoky in the kitchen and I want some more. Where there's smoke, there's a red hot flame. Set me on fire, I'll smoke just the same. I smell what's cookin' and I melt like ice, Serve me up some more of your lovin' tonight. Pour a little sugar in my bowl. We're in the kitchen doin' the rock n' roll'. I never smelled anything like it before, it's smoky in the kitchen and I want some more.

It's a Bow Valley boogie, everything's alright We're rockin' on the river and the raft's airtight. Suddenly a cannon ball falls from the sky, a dozen kids on the bridge trying to fly. Further down the river, see a long haired man surfin' on a curl with a golden tan. Up on a hill you see a kid on the loose, he's runnin' like a chicken from a mad old goose It takes a Bow Valley beat to put a Bow rhythm in your feet. Ya boogie 'til ya can't no more, then ya boogie woogie up to the shore. It's a Bow Valley Boogie and it's getting dark. There's a teenage rager in Bowness Park. They wanna rock the whole night away, So they dodged the guard and then he locked the gate. Some folks talk about the crazy kids Ravin' inside the Stoney Trail bridge. Cruise on down from the other end, then throw in the boat and ya do it again. It takes a Bow Valley beat to put a Bow rhythm in your feet. Ya boogie and you're rollin' high by the rocky Bow riverside. It takes a Bow Valley beat to put a Bow rhythm in your feet. Ya boogie 'til ya can't no more, then ya boogie woogie up to the shore. Bow Valley beat... Bow Valley beat... Bow Valley beat... Bow Valley beat...

My eyes are on the shoreline, and I can't look away 'cause when I look in your eyes, I've said all I can say. Blame it on me or blame it on you, blame it on whatever makes it true. My heart is on my shoulders and I can't look away. My lips are getting colder 'cause I ain't got much to say. Aim it on me or aim it at you, blame it on whatever makes it true. I can't look away, I can't look away, when every way I look looks like I'm goin' astray.

Sedative 02:04
I got a broken car and a broken couch, when I lost my keys, I broke my house. I pumped my brakes until I broke the line. I broke my arm and I broke my chin, I broke my heart, I ain't dead, I lived. I don't need no sedative, I said it is alright. I got a case of the blues and a case of beer, And in case I get lost, I got a pretty good ear. I'm a travelin' man without a ride. And if the bottom is like a sieve, I'll fall right through, and if I live, then I don't need no sedative, I said it is alright. I got a case of the blues and a case of beer, And in case I get lost, I got a pretty good ear. I'm a travelin' man without a ride. And if the bottom is like a sieve, I'll fall right through, and if I live, then I don't need no sedative, I said it is alright.
