Where were you
When I wanted you to love me through the night?
Where were you
When I wanted you to love and hold me tight?
Where were you, little darlin'
When you said to pick you up after school?
I know where, little lady,
'cause my mama didn't raise no fool.

Yeah.
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

I know where, baby,
you been runnin' 'round loose on the side.
I know where, little lady,
you been runnin' 'round with something to hide.
I don't mind, darlin', if you're feelin' fancy and free.
I don't mind, little baby,
cause your sister's lookin' real good to me.

Hey,
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

I didn't know what the hell was goin' on,
Someday you're gonna break.
So don't try to get yourself straight,
You're just a little too late.

Where were you?

Yesterday was a good day,
It's after midnight and I've got you on my mind.
Come with me never go away,
Every day we will fly, yeah.

That's the same way you love me. (That's the same way she loves you).
Ooo, just the same way you do. (Just the same way you do).
Just the same way you love me. (Just the same way she...)
Loves.

Take a chance now the timings' right.
You're free to leave the key to my life.
Stay with me.
Won't you stay the night,
in the mornin' feelin' fine, yeah.

(chorus)

Oh, no, you should be holdin' on to him girl.
Oh, yeah just like, just like you want to do.
Oh, no, just love and squeeze him girl.
Oh, yeah just love and squeeze him yeah.

(chorus)

Those crazy nights, I do remember in my youth
I do recall, those were the best times, most of all
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
She found me singing by the rail road track
Took me home, we danced by moonlight

Those summer nights are callin',
stone in love
Can't help myself I'm fallin'
stone in love

Old dusty roads, led to the river
Runnin' slow
She pulled me down, and in clover
We'd go 'round
In the heat with a blue jean girl
Burnin' love comes once in a lifetime
Oo the memories never fade away
Golden girl, I'll keep you forever.

(chorus)

It was a hot and steamy night,
Then Frankie pulled his gun in sight.
He said, "Now Suzi, don't you lie.
Did Stevey, did he catch you with another guy?"
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya,
It's goin' through ya.

He told her that he had been true,
And that he'd never made her blue, no.
So don't go sayin' Stevey's a liar,
Girl, I've got my finder on a hair-trigger wire.

Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya,
It's goin' through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, Suzi.
So long girl.

Those gunshots echoed through the town.
Oh Frankie threw his shotgun down.
That roof had moonlight shinin' through.
She said she'd never, never, never, make him blue, yea.

Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
Standing in the line of fire it's comin' to ya,
Standing in the line of fire it's gonna shoot ya.
It's goin' through ya.
Bye, bye, bye, Suzi.
So long.

It's been a mystery and still they try to see
Why somethin' good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street, the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way

One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's cryin' now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
I wonder, who's cryin' now

So many stormy nights, so many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage, they tore another page
The fightin' is worth the love they save...

(chorus)

Only so many tears you can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die

(chorus)

When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
I want to be there in my City
Ooh, ooh

So you think you're lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my City by the bay
Ooh, ooh

It's sad, oh there's been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my

Workin' in the city
This town's got no pity
Bossman owns a heart of stone
I'm on the line, it's overtime
I'll tell you it's a crime
They get me by the hour
By my blue collar
You're squeezin' me too tight
It's Friday night
Let's run tonight
Till the morning light.

Keep on runnin', keep on hidin'
Keep on runnin' away
It's okay, it's alright
It's okay, it's alright
And if it makes you want to jump and shout, go ahead!
Keep on runnin' keep on hidin'
Keep on runnin' away, it's okay.

Crusin' with my baby
Think we just might maybe
Find some back seat rhythm and blues
Radio, down we go, down we go.

(chorus)

I'd do anything to hold you.
I'd go anywhere to touch you.
I'd do anything you want me to,
If you'll just stay with me awhile.

I'd sing any song your heart desires.
I would sing out loud of love's sweet fires.
Oo, I'd do all this and so much more.
If you'll just stay with me awhile.

Reach out your hand,
Oh, to me.
Oh, I'm fallin'
One minute more,
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
Oh, oh, fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Won't you just stay with me awhile?

Jesse rides through the night
Under the Main Street light
Ridin' slow

This ol' town, ain't the same
Now nobody knows his name
Times have changed, still he rides.

Traffic lights, keepin' time
Leading the wild and restless
through the night

Still they ride, on wheels of fire
They rule the night
Still they ride, the strong will survive
Chasing thunder

Spinning 'round, in a spell
It's hard to leave this carousel
'Round and 'round
And 'round and 'round

(chorus)

See the stop-light turn-in' red,
Don't you listen to what it's said.
All the things you try to hide,
They keep you runnin' hard inside.

Oh, you got to leave this town before it's...
too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
too late to make the change.

oo, yes, my friend, you're fadin' fast, if you stay here you won't last.
Before your time has run astray, you've got to try to get away.
Oh, you got to leave this place before it's...
too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
too late to make the change.
too late, too late to make the change
too late to make the change

Yes, it's time to make the change, yes, it's time to rearrange,
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
Oh, you got to leave this town before it's...
too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
too late to make the change.
too late, too late to make the change
too late, too late, to make the change
too late to make the change
too late, before it's too late.

He's just a young boy out of school
Livin' his world like he wants to
They're makin' laws, but they don't understand
Turns a boy in to a fightin' man
They won't take me
They won't break me
No one could tell him what to do
Had to learn everything the hard way
He's on the street, breakin' all the rules
I'm tellin' you that he's nobody's fool
They won't take me
They won't break me
Now he's leavin', gettin' out from this masquerade
Oh gotta go

I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free
I've got dreams I'm livin' for
I'm movin' on where they'll never find me
Rollin' on to anywhere
I'll break away, yes I'm on my way
Leavin' today, yes I'm on my way
Just when you think you had it all figured out
Runnin' scared can change your mind
I never knew I had so much to give
How hard times can fool ya
Oh I'm okay, I'm alright
Feelin' good out on your own
I'll break away, I'll break away tonight
I've got dreams I'm livin' for
I'll break away
Yes, I'm on my way
I'm leaving', leavin' today
Yes, I'm on my way
This is my escape
Yes, I'm on my way
I'll break away
Yes, I'm on my way

Well, since we're recording tonight, and we're ah, we're indebted to you to
let us be on your album. We have to thank you for that, this is your album
you know.  We're gonna do a brand new song about a highway that runs
from Detroit all the way down to Florida. The Dixie Highway.

I said, What you want to do
Would you like to be with me?
'Cause I'll meet you back stage, baby
Love is feelin' fancy and free.
We'll rock the night away down by the Dixie Highway,
Yeah, down by the Dixie Highway.

My love, my love, movin' to the left now, movin' to the right.
My love, my love, Ooh soft and tender, ooh so tight
My love, my love, oh, oh, ooh, Dixie Highway.
I don't care what you want to be, baby,
Long as you're happy and free.

She said, That's quite all right.
I think I'll spend the night,
And I want to hold you, Stevie,
I want to hold you tight.
We'll rock the night away down by the Dixie Highway,
Down by the Dixie Highway.

My love, my love, rockin' and a rollin' the night away.
My love, my love, ooh, makin' love till the break of day.
My love, my love, oh, oh, ooh, Dixie Highway.
I don't care what you want to be, baby,
Long as you're happy and free.

Baby, oh, girl, you drive me crazy.
Baby, oh, girl, you drive me crazy, baby.
I want to hold on you, come with you, love with you all the night.
Foolin' who do you think you're foolin', baby?
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby
Who do you think your foolin', baby?
You want to hold on me, love on me, love with me all the night.

My babe, move it to the left, now move it to the right all night.
Oo, yeah, Dixie Highway.
I wish I was in Dixie, Dixie, Dixie.

Opened my eyes to a new kind of way
All the good times that you saved
Are you feeling,
You feeling that way too
Or am I just,
Am I just a fool

When the summer's gone
She'll be there standing by the light
Once she's bee nt owhere she's gone to
She should know wrong from right

A new road's waiting, you touched my life
Soft and warm on a summer's night
You're the only one, the only one I love
The lovely one, I'm thinking of

Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me to
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you need me

I'm standing here with my arms a mile wide
Hoping and praying for you
Listen to me and enlighten me
I hope that you need me too, 'cause,

Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you want me to
Ooh, ooh Anytime that you need me

Give me all of your sunshine
A spark is all I need
To take away, all of the shadows
Well what more can I say.

Anytime at all
Anytime at all
Anytime at all

Do you recall
That lonely summer day?
We were together and things got in our way.
Well, so you think that it's all over,
and you know it's gone to stay.
Oh, after stormy weather, does the sunshine every day?

Yes, I recall, the things you said that day
You told me that you were leavin'
'Cause we can't go on this way
You think that it's all over, and you know it's gone to stay.
Oh, after stormy weather, does the sunshine every day?

Yes, It's the lovin' things
That keeps us wandering.
Yes, it's the lovin' things,
Oo, baby, love.

Yes, It's the lovin' things
That keeps us wandering.
Yes, it's the lovin' things,

Oo, girl,
say you'll stay.
You'll stay.
You think that it's all over, and you know it's gone to stay.
Oh, after stormy weather, does the sunshine every day?
