Wild Cat Lyric Sheets
Only Lonely Me (classic rock, soul)
You don’t want into this crazy world
There is nothing here to see
Only broken hearts and broken dreams
Only lonely lonely me
You don’t want into this empty life
An empty spot where life should be
Only broken hearts and broken dreams
Only lonely lonely me
You saw me on that cold cold corner
A wild wind whipping through my hair
I never wanted you to see me
In my deep and dark despair
You don’t want this bitter crossroads
Branches break on barren trees
Only broken hearts and broken dreams
Only lonely lonely me
You saw me on that cold cold corner
A wild wind whipping through my hair
I never wanted you to see me
In my deep and dark despair
You don’t want into this vacant home
Ashes where the fire should be
Now who hides behind these fragile walls
Only lonely lonely me
Only lonely lonely me
Only lonely
Only lonely lonely me
I Want Out! (rock)
I thought that we were all things bright and beautiful
I thought our love would never die
I thought that we were all things wild and wonderful
We didn’t even have to try
I thought that we would always be together
So I am wondering why why why
There is the wringing of hands and the gnashing of teeth
And I sit here all night and I cry yi yi
I want out! Just hear me rattlin’ my chains
I want out! That’s me - I’m scratchin’ at the door
I want out! And now I’m howlin’ at the moon!
I want out! I want out! I can’t take any more!
I want out. I want out. I want out. I want out.
Is this the way that we should stay together?
Who knows the wrong from the right?
You always say oh promise me forever
Won’t let me out of your sight
I find each day it’s getting harder to breathe
What is the cause of this plight? Yeah, right!
We’ve got the ties that bind
I want to leave those ties behind
Because we tied the knot a little too tight! And and..
Repeat Chorus - I want out!…
Instrumental
I find each day it’s getting harder to breathe
What is the cause of this plight?
You always say a promise is forever
Won’t let me out of your sight
Is this the way that we should stay together?
Who knows the wrong from the right? Yeah, right!
We’ve got the ties that bind
I want to leave those ties behind
Because the knot we tied is done up too tight! And and..

Outro
She’s a Wild Cat! (rock)
Co-write by D. Michelle Gold & Catherine M Thompson
Betty-Ann runs a car wash down the street
As tough as nails but really sweet
She paces the place with an iron fist
Her love life once took a sad bad twist now
Betty-Ann runs a car wash down the street
Betty-Ann was beaten by a lion of a guy
Left for dead when another man lied
Chained and broken knocked down flat
She came back stronger, she’s like that now
Betty-Ann runs a car wash down the street
She’s her designated driver
No one owns her, she’s a survivor
Dressed to the nines in animal prints
With a slinky walk that hints of sin
An aristocat (growl)
She’s a wild cat - wild cat
Wild cat!
Betty-Ann prowls deep into the night
Green eyes flashing with feral light
Lives her life to the fullest each day
Carves her own path she’s no longer a stray now
Betty-Ann runs a car wash down the street
Repeat pre chorus/chorus:
She’s her designated driver…
…
She’s a wild cat - wild cat
(Growl)
Instrumental Harmonica solo
Betty-Ann runs a car wash down the street
Betty-Ann runs a car wash down the street
Wild Cat!
(Growl)
New Orleans Moon (rock)
The last time that I saw you
Back in early June
That old New Orleans moon
Shone through our shadow
But now I’m way up here in Canada
Following the news
I’m sitting here alone
Thinking of you
I’m wondering where you are
I’m wondering what to do
And Hurricane Katrina looks like
Hell is breaking loose Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And the rain keeps falling
The water keeps on rising
The wind keeps howling
The people keep on dying
I don’t know where you are
I don’t know what to do
I want to fly the moon to New Orleans
To rescue you Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Remember having drinks
On down at Feelings Café
And on Lake Pontchartrain
The food heaped on our trays
Now all the streets we walked together
Have been washed away
I cry, my friend, so all alone
So far far away – far away – far away
Repeat C: The rain keeps falling…
But I am way up here in Canada
Following the news
I sit alone, I cry alone
Thinking of you
I’m wondering where you are
I’m wondering what to do
And Hurricane Katrina looks like
Hell is breaking loose Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
The last time that I saw you
Back in early June
That old New Orleans moon
Shone through our shadow
A Shot of Whiskey (rock)
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night
My friends are with me and we’re feeling alright
The band is pumping out our favourite songs
The joint is jumping as we sing along
Another round? I won’t put up a fight
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night
Monday to Friday it’s the daily grind
Go to church on Sunday when we rest and pray
There goes the weekend but for Saturday
The only time we can do it up right
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night
Suzy is dancing with Sammy
Davy is dancing with Dan
I’m on the loose with nothing to lose
I’m gonna get me a man!!!
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night
My friends are with me and we’re feeling alright
The band is pumping out our favourite songs
The joint is jumping as we sing along
Another round? I won’t put up a fight
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night
Bartender!!!
I’d love a whiskey…hello, Jack.
A sippin’ whiskey…I don’t knock it back.
A perfect Jack Daniel’s Manhattan straight up
Ah now that’s what I call a love-in-cup
A chaser for beer or is beer the chaser?
A boiler-maker?
Bring that bottle over here and
Pour me a whiskey! A double whiskey!!
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night!!!
Pour me a whiskey! A double whiskey!!
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night!!!
Another round? I won’t put up a fight
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night
Repeat: Suzy is dancing with Sammy…
Instrumental solo
Pour me a whiskey! A double whiskey!!
A shot of whiskey on a Saturday night!!!

Baby Make Love To Me (rock)
To give me what I want
You need a fire in your belly
Need a fine touch
A firm touch
A can full of jelly
Need your mojo workin’
All the day and night
You gotta love me rough
To treat me right
You gotta a keep it comin’
I’m a love machine
So get your hands out your pockets
Make love to me
Oh, baby, make love to me
Oh, baby, make love to me
To give me what I need
You got to hold on tight
It takes a rough ride
A smooth ride
It takes all night
There ain’t no time for sleepin’
On this merry-go-round
You gotta keep it comin’ up
And goin’ down
So let’s get back in the saddle
If you know what I mean
Oh, baby, make love to me
Oh, baby, make love to me
Instumental solo
Repeat Verse 1
To give me what I want…

Sarah Sang (country)
Sarah wed at just nineteen
Some say that’s far too young
Danger lies ahead
If a new love comes along
Sarah learned to play the part
That kept her marriage strong
But the day that Daniel’s eyes met hers
She sang a new song
Sarah sang, she dare not weep
And Sarah sang, she could not sleep
Her nights too long, too many days –
True love came too late
So Sarah sang
Sarah clung to family
Husband and child
With years her life grew calmer
But inside, her soul grew wild
Then every workday morning
There was Daniel and his smile
Blue-green eyes – warm and wise
Set her heart on fire
Repeat Chorus: Sarah sang…
The last time Daniel kissed her
He left her life a ruin
He begged her to come with him
Said he was leaving soon
Daniel knew she couldn’t leave
‘S like asking for the moon
Two broken hearts, a broken chord
She sang a different tune
Instrumental solo
Her life seemed far too long
There were too many days
Of wanting him – he was haunting
Her empty dreams!
Oh no one to blame just cruel, cruel fate
They found true love too late
So Sarah sang she sang she sang woe-oh!
She sang her heartache
True love came too late
She couldn’t leave he couldn’t wait
They found true love too late
So Sarah sang she sang she sang woe-oh!
She sang her heartache
She found true love too late
So Sarah sang!
Put Down the Guns (protest folk rock)
Bring back flower children
Bring back the sun
With peace and joy and harmony
A blossom for each gun
We marched for civil liberties
We marched to stop the war
It’s time to turn this world around
As we have done before
Put down the guns, people
Put down the guns
Grow a garden full of harmony
And love for everyone
Put down the guns
Put down the guns
Put down hatred and put down the guns
Choose to love and not hate
Make peace not war
A garden full of harmony
Will rise up at your door
Reach out to your neighbours
Love each and every one
The only way to make a change
Put down the guns
We can stop the killing
Each person must be willing
But it can start with just one
So-oh-oh put down the guns, people
Put down the guns
Grow a garden full of harmony
And love for everyone
Put down the guns
Put down the guns
Put down hatred, please people
And put down the guns
Love one another
Put flowers in the guns
Put down the guns
Put down the guns
Love one another
Put flowers in the guns
Put down the guns
Put down the guns…
I Drive Away (for Lucinda Williams) (rap)
I am a wild one
I’ve led a straight life
I raised my children right
I’ve been a good wife
But when the walls start closing in
Cause I’ve been staying at home
I put the pedal to the metal
And I start to roam
I go downtown
I head for the hills
I bomb along the back roads
And just for the thrills
I hit the fast lane
On the highway
And I drive, I drive, I drive, I drive
I drive away mhmm
I drive away
I am a wild one
I’ve led a straight life
I raised my children right
I’ve been a good wife
But I can drive for miles
Until I run out of fuel
Rolling down the highway
Listening to Lu
It takes a road trip to take away
My stay at home blues
I drove into Quebec
With my sister and a friend
We went to get my mother
And bring her back again
I’ve done the family camping
To the west coast and the east
And down to the Smithsonian
In Washington DC
We went to Tadoussac
We went to PEI
We crossed Vancouver Island
And crossed the mountains high
I love to go with company
I love to come back home
But sometimes when I travel
I just have to go alone
I’ve been to Pittsburgh
I hopped through Lewisburg
Harrisburg and Gettysburg towns
I drove the Shenandoah Valley
To Kentucky on my own
I spent some time in San Diego
On the dock of the bay
Took a night drive cross the dessert
Heading east from LA
Wound up to Idyllwild at dawn
San Bernardino way
I dropped some coins in Vegas
But I didn’t really play
I drive, I fly
I get aboard a train
I’ve been to New York City
And you know I’ll go again
I am a wild one
I’ve led a straight life
I raised my children right
I’ve been a good wife
But when the walls close in
I hit the highway
And I drive, drive, drive, drive, drive
I drive away
Mhmm aha
I drive away
Mhmm aha
I drive away
Mhmm aha
I drive away
I drive away
