Take 'em Out
Wake up with a call, throw my luggage in the hall
Go down to the desk, pay for alcohol
Jump into a car, hope we make the plane in time
Smile for all the ladies as we're passin' through the line
I'll be down in the back, where those engines roar
Gonna make that attack on this town once more
(Well) they say we're runnin' late to make it to the show
But when the lights go down, you can sure bet I'm ready to go
Take 'em out
Kickin' up dust, make 'em jump and shout
Take 'em out, take 'em out
Rock 'n roll's what it's all about
Hit the stage runnin', got our motor's runnin' fast
Crankin' up our guitars, gonna kick some ass
Ain't no use in lyin', that's what we came to do
Give 'em all we got to make our message get through
I'll be down in the back, where those engines roar
Gonna make that attack, gonna start once more
People stand in line, waitin' for the show
But when the lights go down, you can sure bet I'm ready to go

A Wild-Eyed Christmas Night
Now all year long we've been waiting for the season to come
Working and savin', dreamin' 'bout the Christmastime fun
Now the presents are under the tree
I've been as good as I can be
Let's call the gang over
Sounds like a party to me
While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed
Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads
Everything is peaceful
The stars are clear and bright
We're gonna throw a party, celebrate the new year
Just get some 38 Special holiday cheer
This house will be a-rockin' on a wild-eyed Christmas night.
Well we got a few hours till Santa starts comin' our way
He's tunin' up his reindeer; the elves are loadin' the sleigh
The mistletoe is hangin' above
And everybody's lookin' for love
So baby come a rockin'; the moonlight's slippin' away
While the little elves are workin' and the kids are in bed
Reindeer are flyin' way up over our heads

She Loves To Talk
She wakes up in the mornin', puts her face on
grabs a cup o' coffee then she's on that phone..
(Chorus)
That woman loves to Talk (...she loves to talk...talk)
Yeah, she's what I want (she's what I want)
I don't mean to sound complainin'
she's my source of entertainment
That woman loves to talk!
Conversation ain't no trouble...in this family
She keeps me stimulated more than my new TV
(2nd Chorus)
That woman loves to Talk (...she loves to talk...talk)
yeah, she's what I want. (she's what I want)
She shoulda been a politician...
Got more wind than an air condition..
That woman Loves to Talk!
(Bridge)
Well, I know she might be different, that's what I like
She's something else when we turn down the light
It's hard to resist her, it's hard to explain

Burning Bridges
You haven't changed much
From the last time I saw you
You look so new to these old eyes
So much water's gone over the bridge
That burned between you and I
I've avoided nostalgia ignored the sentimental
Tried to cut myself off from much of the past
All that macho and all that bravado
Makes me wanna laugh makes me wanna laugh
We do what it takes to keep on pushin'
We do what it takes to survive
But seeing you now here at this moment
Don't it make you wonder
Chorus I:
Why'd we wanna burn those bridges
Why'd we wanna light such a flame
Ain't no way to stay warm at the fire
Of burning bridges burning bridges
I've made some adjustments
Worked out some problems

Sheriff's County Line
In a place called Sheriff's County
There's a story goin' round
And it echoes through the swamps of FLA
About the sheriff and his daughter
That he guarded with his life
With a shotgun just to keep those wolves at bay
But she was a fire beyond control
No chains could hold her captive soul
Now the legend grows as days unwind
About passions strong and justice blind
To the reckless deeds that hide behind
The Sheriff's County Line
Now the sheriff had a deputy that he treated like a son
But he warned Calhoun not to see Estelle
'Cause he knew that she was trouble
Had her mama's wild side
And if he slipped he'd make his life a living hell
But flesh is weak and passion's strong
There in the backwoods around dawn
They say it was a murder in the first degree

You Keep Runnin' Away
I hear your high-heels clickin' down the boulevard
You got your suitcase in hand, guess you're takin' it hard
You swear you'll never trust another man
Ah, but I know that you will, it's just a question of when
So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, someone is gonna beg you to stay
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away
I hear it whispered in the neighborhood
At one time you were the best, it was just understood
Then someone came and took you for a fool
The word is out on the street that love is looking for you
So open up your eyes to the light
You've been far too alone for too many nights, oh
Someday, someway, somewhere, love is gonna find you
Somehow, somewhere, don't look now, I'm comin' up behind you
But you keep on runnin', you keep runnin'
You keep on runnin' away

Caught Up In You
I never knew there'd come a day
When I'd be sayin' to you
"Don't let this good love slip away
Now that we know that it's true."
Don't, don't you know the kind of man I am
No, said I'd never fall in love again
But it's real and the feeling comes shining through.
So caught up in you, little girl
And I never did suspect a thing
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it's true
You're the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be
It took so long to change my mind
I thought that love was a game
I played around enough to find
No two are ever the same
You made me realized the love I missed
