Don't know if it's day or night but I'll be landing soon
Think I left my liver back in last night's dressing room
We drove and ate and rocked and played our way across Japan
Now my nervous system's getting ready to crash land
They say that rock and roll is just a young man's game
Well, hon, I'm pushing forty and ain't never gonna change
We must've played for something like a hundred people strong
But woke up in the morning and the guarantee was gone
Saw a million old friends and we made a million more
Hit a lotta whiskey shots and then we hit the floor
Can hear my woman asking me why you smell so bad
Already living off the good times I had
Going through my bad wondering what this time I lost
Gonna be a drag tomorrow looking at the boss
Life would be a gas if all you had to do was play
But I gotta move my ass cuz I got bills to pay
Guess I'll just get used to it til next time comes around
Coming home, coming down…

Why Don't You Dance?

There will be another
Duck and run for cover
You don't need a lover on a Saturday night
The one that came here with you
Just got up and quit you
To go and sit with someone that will treat her right
Why don't you dance
There will be another so why don't you dance
Why don't you just write her
"Your eyes are pools of water”
Or some other blather that will get her back
What you lack in courage
You make up for in verbiage
That's how you got her in the first place, Jack
Why don't you dance
There will be another so why don't you dance
It's Saturday night, it's not the end of the world
You got the rest of the week to moan over a girl
I know you and I know that's what you'll do

Bad For You

I'm grown up today, I put those blues away
But I got (count 'em) two faces
They're both the real me, which do you want to see
I can easily exchange them
I am knowing, I know you're knowing too
I'll be bad for you
Good or bad, just tell me what you want me to do
I feel so good when I'm misunderstood
Feels like I'm really living
You know what I mean because you're just like me
You gotta keep those dishes spinning
Nothing tastes quite like forbidden juice
I'll be bad for you
Good or bad, just tell me what you want me to do
I'll be bad for you as long as you need it
As long as it's good and we can steal it
So let's get done talking, let's get done walking
I've got some things to show you
Our hearts will hit the desired pitch
When I get to know you
Don't gotta worry when in good hands you're used
I'll be bad for you
Good or bad, just tell me what you want me to do
