Humble Pie Album

Take me back where I come from
All I need, feeling blue
Friends that I made in my youth
Now I'm older, I love them more.

Moon shines bright above never seems to change
Ever smiling face, no one asks why
Everyone wanted his soul
All he gave them was a smile.

People can change overnight
You most of all, yeah that's right
Find yourself on the ground
Where you been ? What have you found ?

Yeah, now you know the score, never want no more
Ooh keep yourself in your own mind
Can you believe what I say ?
That I'm glad, feeling sad ?

I'm feeling awful cold
I've just been bought and sold
In my eyes you'll see the sign of fear.

Mmm take me back to see what I left behind, yeah
Ooh superficial people told him where to go
Everyone wanted his soul
All he gave them was a smile, oh.

When I was just a kid back in Abeline
I had to use a gun, well for my own sake
I shot a man down when I was just eighteen
And from that day they call me Shaky Jake.

Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake.

Ma says I was born under bad sign
I was lookin' for the chance to make or break
I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron
I'm the devil's own son, I'm Shaky Jake.

Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake.

I keep on the run now
I travel by night
I don't need anyone
But someone, one day, somewhere's gonna see me right.

Dig a hole about six foot deep
Pray the Lord my soul to take
I don't want flowers and nobody's gonna weep
Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake.

Oh Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake.

Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake
Shakey Jake.

Oh Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ?
Texas Rangers coming after you
Here's the price you pay for one mistake
So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake.

I, I love you
And I love the sun too
They make bright my light
The light of love, the light of life
I know just how good it can be.

My past leaves a trail, bitter and sweet
Demands on my life were hard to meet
Didn't know how or the reason for
But when I found my love, I found much more
I know just how good it can be.

You're aware, what I ain't got
But what I got is yours to share.

My how it's good to see
The little things that never used to be
Now it's of some concern
Like the old man say : 'If you live you learn'
I know just how good it can be.

I, I love you
And I love the sun too
They, they make bright my light
With the light of love, the light of life
I know just how good it can be.

Tell me, have you ever seen me sad before ?
With thought of more than just a laugh ?
You know that all I hope to do is make you understand
Just what I am and what I'm trying to say.

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
To make you talk to me
I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry
The hidden fear, you won't see.

And then if when I try, though I start to fall
Down along the way
Will you pick me up or would you put me down ?
Surely sir, I really could not say, oh yeah.

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
To make you talk to me
I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry
The hidden fear, you won't see.

And then I know I try to fly
Like bird with broken wing
And I'm running before I can walk
I need, I need someone to take my hand
Lead me through the wall.

I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try
To make you talk to me
I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry
The hidden fear, the hidden fear, you won't see, yeah ..

Well, the show's all over, I'll just pack my guitar
Well, what am I doing here, girl ?
Get up, c'mon make for your car
Head on back to where the air is clear.

There's a young girl there who's part of my life
She says I'm her only, I call her my wife
I'm so glad to be back home again.

Well, let me sit down slowly, put my feet up somewhere
I let it all out of my head
Well a day-dreamin' guitar-pickin', nothin'-doin' pint of milk
Wakes up with the horrors of a hotel bed.

But it's alright, there's a hand on my cheek
And it belongs to the girl that makes my will power weak
I'm so glad to be back home again.

Oh, get on home.

Well, there's a young girl there who's part of my life
She says I'm her only but I call her my wife
I'm so glad to be back home again, ooh, ooh.

Get on home, yeah.

I'm so glad to be back home again
(I don't want your money but I just want your lovin')
Well, I'm so glad to be back home again
(I don't want your money but I just want your lovin')
I'm so glad to be back home again
(I don't want your money but I just want your lovin')
I'm so glad to be back home again
(I don't want your money but I just want your lovin')
I'm so glad I'm back home again
(I don't want your money but I just want your lovin')
...

1, 2, 3, 4

The last time I saw her, she was waving me goodbye
She swore no other boy would take my place
I took a Mississippi Queen through New Orleans and down the Bayou
I hoped to find my destiny, my fortune and my face.

Please tell her that I said hello
Explain to her I didn't want to go
But a message from her daddy said : 'He's gonna see me dead'
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
She'll never know, never know.

I stayed around, I played around with all those Southern belles
But they took away my money and my pride
I had no place to go and the rest you know darn well
Living out the gutter ain't so easy to describe.

But I still had my guitar, so I joined a dirty band
Working in a smoky downtown bar
When comes along this big wheel with a contract in his hand
Said : 'Put your mark along here boy, I'm gonna make you a rock'n'roll star'.

Please tell her that I said hello
Explain to her I didn't want to go
But a message from her daddy said : 'He's gonna see me dead'
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
Never know, never know.

Well the years have come and gone and I was passing through to find
That my home town was still the same to see
Well, the memory I had of her had crumbled from my mind
I really didn't think she'd still be waiting here for me.

Please tell her that I said hello
Explain to her I didn't want to go
But a message from her daddy said : 'He's gonna see me dead'
And if I can get out now, she'll never know
She'll never know, never know.

Mmm ...

If I can get out now, she'll never know
Never know, never know
Never know, never know
Never know.

Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me ?
Heartbeat, why does a love's kiss stay in my memory ?

Riddle-dee pat, I know that new love thrills me
I know what will be, will be

Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me ?

Riddle-dee-pat and sing to me love stories
Reveal to me love's glory.

Heartbeat, why do you miss when my baby kisses me ?

Tell me what to say and I'll write a book today
About our love dear, oh
People try to talk to me and they tell me who I ought to be
Today dear, ooh-ooh.

Only you can see that I love you
That I love you, ooh.

Tell me what to think and I'll fix myself a drink
To drink to you dear, oh no no
Why am I so ill at ease ? Don't people get down on their knees
For me, dear.

Girl, only you understand, hold my hand
Hold my hand.

Oh, only you can see that I love you
Yeah that I love you.

You look to me like you know what you see
Every step that you take coming closer
Yes I can see underneath your I.D.
You're a woman, oh you're a woman.

On your hands are the rings that a bond of love brings
And your eyes tell a story of sorrow
Yes I have the love of an elf and a dove
And a woman, and a woman.

Love sings like a nightingale lantern show
I love you
Your light is in me, me.

If you held the key, would you share it with me ?
And take me to where you belong ?
Like a fly to a light, I'd be there every night
With my woman.

Feel a kiss from your soul here inside of me
I love you
Please say you want me, me
Please say you want me, me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
My woman yeah, oh be my woman.

When she turns away I cry
All I want to know is why
Shut the light out, close your eyes
When you wake her, say goodbye.

What does she do when I hide ?
When can I be by her side ?
Yes again, again, again.

Strap me in a ship that flies
Hit the ground, you breathe a sigh
Kiss the ground, she smiles hello
Time apart just makes love grow.

What does she say to make me feel good ?
Now that I'm here by her side
Once again.

I'll give you all I have
Don't you see I'll give my life ?

Autumn comes again so near
Leaves are falling fast I fear
Turn the heat on, wipe your eyes
What you have can never die.

Now is the time that I know why, know why
When can I be by her side ?
Yes again.

I'll give you all I have
Don't you see I'll give my life ?

I'll give my life for you
I'll give my life for you.
