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.. 

Repeat chorus 

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
