Bachman-Turner Overdrive Album

Why can't you do something right?
Your name is all over the town.
Your reputation is sweeping the nation.
The rumors are bringing me down.

You stand on the tip of my tongue,
I can't get you out of my head.
There's no syncopation with any relation,
Could it be that there's trouble ahead?

Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.

Why don't you try to slow down?
I'm standing at the back of the line.
We made reservations to meet at the station,
My schedule is running behind.

What can I do to survive?
Why am I always abused?
Anticipation of constant frustration,
Can it be that there's any good news?

Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.

Why can't you do something right?
Your name is all over the town.
Your reputation is sweeping the nation.
The rumors are bringing me down.

You stand on the tip of my tongue,
I can't get you out of my head.
There's no syncopation with any relation,
Could it be that there's trouble ahead?

Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.
Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.
Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.

Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.
Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.
Four wheel drive, four wheel ride, side by side, four wheel drive.

You're invited to join the procession
There is someone I'd like you to meet
She looks like she might be for hire
But you won't find her out in the street

Her hair is the color of mine
And she's spending the night beside me
Could this be my mind, am I dreaming
Or maybe I got you really
She's a devil, she's devine
She's an angel, I'm on fire

I found in my life there were others
But no one so equal it seems
And you stand at the edge of my heaven
But her fingertips pulsing to me

Her hair is the color of mine
And she's spending the night beside me
Could this be my mind, am I dreaming
Or maybe I got you really
She's a devil, she's devine
She's an angel, I'm on fire

She's a devil, she's devine
She's an angel, I'm on fire

You're invited to join the procession
There is someone I'd like you to meet
She looks like she might be for hire
But you won't find her out in the street

Her hair is the color of mine
And she's spending the night beside me
Could this be my mind, am I dreaming
Or maybe I got you really
She's a devil, she's devine
She's an angel, I'm on fire

She's a devil, she's devine
She's an angel, I'm on fire

She's a devil, she's devine
She's an angel, I'm on fire

I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way

I think that any lovin's good lovin'
So I took what I could get, mmm ooh ooh
She looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothing yet
B-b-b-baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's somethin' that you're never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothing yet
(And you're thinkin' you ain't been around, that's right)

And now I'm feeling better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure

He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with her big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothing yet
B-b-b-baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's somethin', here's somethin' you're never gonna forget, baby
You know, you know, you know you just ain't seen nothin' yet
(You need an education, got to go to school)

Any lovin's good lovin'
So I took what I could get, yes I took what I could get
And then, and then, and then she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet
Here's somethin', here's somethin', here's a lover you'll never forget baby
Baby baby baby you ain't seen n-n-n-n-nothin' yet

You ain't been around
You ain't seen nothin' yet, that's what she told me
She said I need an education, go to school
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet, ooh, ooh, ooh
I got something for you when I get home
Better be good
I been everywhere
But I ain't seen nothin' yet
I deserve it one of these days, oh yeah
Ooh, but I ain't seen nothin' yet
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I ain't seen nothin' yet
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
If you want to show me what I ain't seen
Where I ain't been
La la la la la la la la la la

I was walking on down the alley
When a face I've never seen
Came so from deep in the darkness
And his mouth came on real mean

And I saw that he'd been liquored
And he staggered up to -- you know -- he staggered up to his feet
And he said, "Boy, you'd better move real slow
And gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Being born and raised in New York
There ain't nothing you won't see
'Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on
And you know that's no place to be

But my car broke down in the evening
You know it just stopped stone cold
Stopped stone cold in the street
And a dirty mean man with sharp glass eyes
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Being born and raised in New York
There ain't nothing you won't see
'Cause the streets are filled with bad goings-on
And you know that's no place to be

But my car broke down in the evening
You know it just stopped stone cold
Stopped stone cold in the street
And a dirty mean man with a shotgun in his hand
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."
He said, "Gimme your money please."
(Awww!)

[No lyrics]

Comin' to you across country
Hoping boogies still allowed
You ask do we play heavy music
Well are thunderheads just another cloud, we do
Not Fragile, straight at you

Then we vanish to the night
Still in your ears but out of sight
Not Fragile

Don't think we feel hurt or wounded
Or our egos are showing thru
It's our world that's been disrupted
And our strength reflects from you
Well its true
Not Fragile, over you

Try us when you're getting down
Feelin' high or just hangin' round
Not Fragile

The times we travel in our lives
Are hard and give us drive
We may seem distant most of the time
But many thoughts are still on our minds
Not Fragile

We rented a truck and a semi to go
Travel down the long and the winding road
Look on the map, I think we've been there before
Close up the doors, let's roll once more

Cop's on the corner, look he's starting to write
Well, I don't need no ticket so I screamed out of sight
Drove so fast that my eyes can't see
Look in the mirror, is he still following me?

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll, roll

Look at the sign, we're in the wrong place
Move out boys and let's get ready to race
Four fifty-four's coming over the hill
The man on patrol is gonna give us a bill

The time's real short, you know the distance is long
I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep moving if we're going to make a buck

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll

Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll, roll, roll

Down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll, roll, roll

Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll, roll, roll

I met a man who bought up land
Wherever his feet would tread
He asked me to El Paso
Said I could stay on his spread
He has horses and cows and tractors and plows
And all kinds of money to burn
But how can I get to Texas
When my wheels won't turn
How can I get to Texas
When my wheels won't turn
Mmmm, they just won't move
My wheels won't turn
They just won't move

There was a lady from Spain
Who had a fine frame
Then she moved to Hollywood
She said come and stay for a week and a day
I said I did not think I could
She said the sunshine's fine
I could spend some time
There are lessons I could learn
But how can I get to L.A.
When my wheels won't turn
How can I get to L.A.
When my wheels won't turn
Mmmm, they just won't move

I'm standin' still
'Cause my wheels won't turn
I'm not in love
And my fuel won't burn for you
Yeah, my wheels won't turn, let's go

At a college of knowledge I tried to learn
All the tricks to beat the system
I'd hide in nooks and memorize my books
'Till I knew I'd never never miss them
Eventually I got my degree
But the real thing I did learn
You just can't hit your home run
If your wheels won't turn
You just can't hit your homerun
If your wheels won't turn, got to get movin'

There was a man in white
Who did things right
Now he watches from above
He said here is the way that I want you to pray
And the way to live and love
So I saw the light and did things right
But the candle would not burn
Tell me, how can I get to heaven
If my wheels won't turn
Tell me, how can I get to heaven
If my wheels won't turn
Mmmm, they just won't move

I'm standin' still
Cause my wheels won't turn
I'm not in love
And my fuel won't burn for you
Ah, my wheels won't turn
Won't turn for you

Ah, my wheels won't turn
My wheels won't turn
Hey, my wheels won't turn
My wheels won't turn
Hey my wheels won't turn

How can I get to Texas
How can I get to L.A.
How can I hit my homerun
How can I get to heaven
My wheels won't turn
No, my wheels won't turn
Yeah, my wheels won't turn
Mama, my wheels won't turn
Ooh, won't turn
My wheels won't turn
My wheels won't turn
Ah, my wheels won't turn
Ah, my fuel won't burn

How can I get to Texas
How can I get to L.A.
How can I hit my homerun
How can I get to heaven
When my wheels won't turn
Ah, my wheels won't turn
Mmmmbop mmmmbop
My wheels won't turn
Mmmmbop mmmmbop
My wheels won't turn

I'm spinnin'
Mmmm, you got me spinnin'
Whoo, got me spinnin'
Ah, got me spinnin'
Yeah, my wheels won't turn
Come on, my wheels won't turn
Come on, my wheels won't turn
Come on, my wheels won't turn
Ah hey, my wheels won't turn
Yeah, my wheels won't turn
My heart won't turn
I did get burned
Yeah, my wheels won't turn
Yeah, my wheels won't turn
Yeah, my wheels won't turn
Yeah, my wheels won't turn

How get I get to...

Only three stops to make in Alabama
Everyone a one night stand
Workin for a man down South Louisiana
Cause ZZ ain't his only band
Business has been good or bad
But sittin here will drive me mad

(CHORUS)
and I'm gonna get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Make a stand
I'm gonna take it like a man

Met a stray woman I think it was in Texas
She was made for those who'd pay
Gotta little drunk and raised a mild ruckus
The city said I could not stay
I guess I'm gonna have to change until this mess is rearranged

(CHORUS)

I guess I'm gonna have to change until my life is rearranged

(CHORUS)
