Steelheart
Album • 1992
I ain't got time to listen You found me a little too late Sittin' around hearin' all this bullshit Is turning love to hate You said I was the black sheep And I feel I've committed a crime But living with you is like livin' in jail And I'm tired of doing time Kick it! Huh! Whoa! They say that I've turned crazy On the wrong side of the tracks Put a switchblade in my hands Hung the Devil on my back Yeah, I'd lie steal and cheat, babe To get the fill I need And if you stand in my way I'll cut you to the bone And leave you down there to bleed Sing it! Would you sell your Mother? Would you sell your Brother? Yeah, I'd sell 'em all to fly high In the line of fire Can you get much higher Oh, I give a little, take a little Make a little, sell a little I can never get enough Get out, oh, I'm a Loaded Mutha Yeah, a shotgun between your eyes Stay out, no, I need no other I got the Devil by my side Riding this wild horse yeah I'm tangled in its reins I've grown scared of tomorrow Yesterday's in my veins See the snake bites so quickly The venom runs so deep Now I'm holdin' on while I'm in God's hands As the poison lays my soul to sleep Now years are melting faster Habit is my master Oh, I give a little, take a little Make a little, sell a little A stone cold sinner in love Get out, oh, I'm a Loaded Mutha Yeah, a shotgun between your eyes Stay out, no, I need no other I got the Devil by my side Tied down behind closed doors Walk out like you did before, get out! Oh, oh! Oh, yeah! Alright, alright! Oh! Oh! Oh... I'm a scared lonely teen with a crazed disease Got the Devil inside that I have to please I lost my way in the winding turns I'm salting wounds, it's my soul that burns I tried to buy back the life I've sold But not alone, I can't stop cold Oh, God, help me now Take me in your arms and show me how! Get out, yeah, I'm a Loaded Mutha Yeah, a shotgun between your eyes Stay out, no, stay out! I got the Devil, the Devil Devil, Devil, Devil by my side! Oh, the devil, get out! Oh, God, have mercy, mercy, mercy... Take me, take me, take me Take me, take me, in your arms...

Every step we take is the hard way We try to build an empire all in just one day If we take a breath, and take a look around Are we missing things Are both feet planted on the ground Sometimes we forget who we are We take our chances much too far Can I find the time To show this heart of mine (A little sunshine in the rain) Oh, it's so hard to see What we've grown to be We fight this world alone, yeah And turn a life to stone, yeah Take me back home (Whoa, take me home) The place where we belong (Oh, where we belong) Where all our hearts still roam (Where are hearts still roam) Now take me back home Oh, take me home, yeah Oh, take me home The grass is always green On the other side We climb the walls to find out To ourselves we lied Oh, we fight so hard to make a stand We try and fit the world In the palms of our hands Oh we're searching for a piece of mind But the world has put money in our hands And made us blind Will I reach the light That leads me through my life (Sometimes I hear the angels sing) Oh, will I find the road To ease my heavy load Make the right turn, yeah Not to crash and burn, yeah Take me back home (Whoa, take me home) The place where we belong (Oh, where we all belong) Where all our hearts still roam (Where are hearts still roam) Now take me back home Yeah I still can remember How we used to be Just a couple of little crazy kids Runnin' through the streets Now I can't change the future I can only feel the pain I'm holding on, breath by breath Hiding from the rain, whoo! Take me back home (Take me, take me, take me home) The place where we belong (Oh, where we all, all belong) Where all our hearts still roam (Where are hearts still roam) Now take me back home Ah, take me home!
