Dancing My Blues Away lyrics - Chris Rea

When I was a young boy
I hear my Mama cry
She say my poor little darling
He got tears in his eyes
I say don't worry Mama
I will get there one day
Till then I'm just dancing my blues away

She said your Papa's gone crazy
'Cos he don't understand
I say Mama I can't change it
'Cos it's just the way am
Yeah I was born in the north wind
In a sky of freezing grey
That's why I'm dancing my blues away

Now the years have gone by
But there's still a burning flame
You and me together
I know it's still the same

Now I got tears by the truck-load
I got a thousand broken hearts
But you'll always find me ready
To make a brand new start
'Cos I found a secret
So the devil he can't stay
I keep on dancing my blues away

Rock And Roll Tonight lyrics - Chris Rea

I got a thousand bits of paper
They all spinning in my head
I Hope I see you later
Can't remember what you said
Something 'bout keeping a grip
Keeping it tight
Before I lose control
I gotta rock and roll tonight

I got way too many questions
They all waiting on my call
I'm losing my direction
I'm dropping every ball
I've got to find some cover
These working shoes are getting too darn tight
I gotta loosen up
I gotta rock and roll tonight

Well you're bleeding for the money
But you never pay it back
Pressure gauge is screaming
The faces start to crack
This ain't no way to live
Lord you know this kind of life ain't right
Before I lose my soul
I got to rock and roll tonight

Never Tie Me Down lyrics - Chris Rea

I got a load of bad stuff
Laying heavy on my mind
I got a smile that sometimes
I find so hard to find
I got trouble
Chasing me every day
Too scared to look out
See what the bad sings say
Well you can beat up on my busted soul
Leave it bleeding on the ground
But oh Lord you ain’t ever gonna tie me down

I got the Devil
He follows me around
He keep coming
Chasing me from town to town
I got a two ton bag of lead
Slammin’ down on me
Well, peace and love
Oh baby that ain’t never coming near me
Beat my soul
Leave it bleeding chained and bound
But let me tell you
You ain’t never gonna chain me down
Oh Lord, never tie me down

You better look out
Cos I’m always gonna be around
I’ll tell you why, I’ll tell you why, why why
Oh Lord, you ain’t never gonna chain me down

The Chance Of Love lyrics - Chris Rea

I came here to dance
To show my face
To try and lose my blues
Find something to take its place

And I don't care about the moon
And the stars way above
Just give me something in my pocket
And the chance of love
Oh the chance of love

I've been out along the hard wire
Trying to make it pay
We all needing to get lucky
And a chance to come my way

And I don't care about the moon
And the stars way above
Just give me something in my pocket
And the chance of love
The chance of love
Oh the chance of love

Dress me up in pretty colours
Let everybody see
The only thing I'm needing
The only that sets you free...
...the chance of love

And i'm paying for an angel
Yeah I'm looking for a break
Seems nobody wants to give out
But everybody wants to take

So... I don't care about the moon
And the stars way above
Just give me something in my pocket
And the chance of love

Oh the chance of love
The chance of love

Oh the chance of love
The chance of love
Oh the chance of love
Something in my pocket
The chance of love
The chance of love
Oh the chance of love
Yeah the chance of love

The Last Open Road lyrics - Chris Rea

How fast can I run?
How far can I go?
These are the questions
The young wanna know
I met her in Brooklyn
She was coming from Queens
I said where are you going
She said where have you been
'Cos I'm trapped in here
Set me free
I know your world so
Let me see
Take me down that last open road

I know there's something
Past this place
I see it smile on your jagged ragged face
Something tells me
Something strong
There's a world I've heard of
So before it's gone
I know it's out there
I know it's true
I wanna feel it, I wanna go with you
Before it's over
Before it's gone
An endless highway and a freedom song
Take me down that last open road

Electric Guitar lyrics - Chris Rea

Got me an electric guitar
Don't she look so pretty
I got me an electric guitar
Oh don't she look so pretty
I bought her in a small town
I'm gonna take her to the city

I got me a box with a speaker
I'm gonna make that angel sing
I got me a box with a speaker
I'm gonna make that angel sing
I'm gonna find me a future
Somewhere between these strings

Every song about a railroad track
Every song about not coming back
We'll be together, no matter how far
You and me and my electric guitar

Money lyrics - Chris Rea

It's all about money
How much you can make
All about money
How much can take
The cold fear of losing
The game that you play
It's there in the morning
And the end of the day
It's all about money

It's all about dreaming
What you think that you need
You got your eye on the big one
But the truth you can't see
Till you find out what matters
At the end of the day
It's a deal with the devil, the price that you pay
It's all about money
It's all about money, what you think you can buy

But you're just chasing shadows
You got to ask yourself why
It's all about money

The Way She Moves lyrics - Chris Rea

See her coming down the catwalk
She all silk and high heel shoes
She dressed to kill anybody
This darling, she can't lose
She's a diamond in the night
She kick away those ageing blues
But it ain't what she's wearing
It's in the way she moves

She got a big red rooster tail
She got him crying like a child
He's got to have this angel
Oh she's gonna drive him wild
She got a see-true silk kimono
Oh I swear she's gonna blow some fuse

But it ain't what she's wearing
It's in the way she moves

She got a face to spin your head around
She got a smile you can't refuse
She got eyes that knock you over
This darling she can't lose
She got a see-true kimono
Or I swear she's gonna blow some fuse

But it ain't what she's wearing
It's the way she moves

Dance With Me All Night Long lyrics - Chris Rea

Come on dance with me baby
Dance me all night long
Yeah dance with me baby
Dance me all night long
Dance with baby
Till my blues have gone

When I move, I feel better
My soul cries out to the beat
It sends a message to my broken heart
It sends a message to my feet

Dance with me baby
Dance me all night long

I got to dance to stop my heart from breaking
I got to dance to save my soul
I got to dance to stop my legs from shaking
Standing still makes my blood run cold

Gimme a high-kick baby
'cos you got to have a good time
Moving to the beat
Make you feel so fine
No point in being low down
Standing in the cold
Come one, dance with me baby
Don't you know, you ain't never to old

I got to dance to stop my heart from breaking
I got to dance to save my soul
I got to dance to stop my legs from shaking
Standing still makes my blood run cold

Think Like A Woman lyrics - Chris Rea

I showed my love a river
And she took me to the sea
I showed my love my rusting chains
She set me free
I screamed out all the hate I had
She turned and flew around
I put down my wish to beat up
She came back to stay

She said, if you wanna be strong
And big like a mountain
There's something you gotta know
There's a way you gotta be
You make a big mistake
If you think all it takes to win me over
Set your self free
See like a woman see

I showed my love a mountain
And she took me to the sky
I showed my love a rain cloud
There were tears in her eyes
I opened up a long lost door
She smiled and let me in
She showed me how to never lose it
Is never try to win

She said, if you wanna be strong
And big like a mountain
There's something you gotta know
There's a way you gotta be
You make a big mistake
If you think all it takes to win me over
Set your self free
See like a woman see

You Got Lucky lyrics - Chris Rea

Don't go looking for a reason
There's nothing here to see
What you are, everything you done
Is how it all came to be
The telephone is ringing
But not for you
The angels keep on singing
But for somebody new
You threw away so much you had
There's no-one left to hear your call
And it's all because, you got lucky

You try to work it out
But you ain't got a clue
You try to find out
What everybody knew
You started to believe it
Now you find it hard to understand
How could you lose it
With such a winning had
Now there's no-one left
To care about you
If you should jump of fail
And it's all, because
You got lucky

Lose My Heart In You lyrics - Chris Rea

The morning came
With a heavy snow
Our senses freeze
'cos it's time to go
You smile and wave
As the taxi pulls away
But you cannot rid
What your eyes really say

Now I've made up my mind
I know what I gotta do
I'm going to lose, my heart, in you
A restless soul, always
Wild and free
We are such different kinds
This sure ain't easy for me
To be without you
Is to lose the game
So I will surrender
I will make the change

Now I've made up my mind
I know what I gotta do
I'm going to lose, my heart, in you

To be what's me
Would have to let you go
But all I'd be
Is a shadow, in this cold and freezing snow

So now I've made up my mind
I know what I gotta do
I'm going to lose, my heart, in you

I Will Go On lyrics - Chris Rea

I got a cold grey morning
Waiting for me
I look out my window
Sure don't like what I see
Seems like to devil himself
Is singing my song
But I pick myself yo
And I will go on

Black dogs are howling
In the wind and the rain
Seems like the devil himself
Is calling my name

But I can never give up
No matter how long
So I pick myself up
And I will go on

There's thunder on the mountain
There's a wild storm a sea
But when I think of your sweet love
It means nothing to me

So I will never give up
No matter how long
I pick myself up

And I will go on

Cry For Home lyrics - Chris Rea

I was born on the river road, I swear that’s all I know
I was free with no heavy load, choose any way I go
I was free with my head up high, a prince in
my land of home
But the devil’s come and take me out, chain me to my
broken bones
Come on
Cry
Come on cry for home

My princess she was taken too
But I don’t know where she go
My princess she was taken too
But I don’t know where she go
Now I’m beat up with a broken soul
I can’t choose nothin’ no more
Come on, cry
Come on, cry, cry, cry for home …

Now I’m the captain of your bullwhip
Now, don’t you try to cross me …
See how this leather’s shining
Now you forget about being free ...
You’re going to end up one more black slave
Left out on the open sea
Come on cry for home
Cry for home

Don’t know where I’m going to, chains on my bleeding bones
Don’t know where I’m going to, chains on my bleeding bones
I hear my love in the stinking dark
I hear her scream and moan
Captain said it’s just one more black slave
Who cries for home

Yeah, cry for home, come on and cry for home

The King Who Sold His Own lyrics - Chris Rea

One thousand stories, one thousand years
Each song it goes from hand to hand
They tell of kings, they sing of war
And the news of far off distant lands

They sing of how the blues came to be
Their own king sold them into slavery
The sad chords melt
Where the sadness came to be
When their own king sold them
Into slavery

One thousand stories, one thousand years
The truth of guilt and shame
But a king who sold his people out
To a world of whips and chains
The sound of pain the smell of fear
A treason born in hell
The king who sold his people out
It’s a song they know so well

Cross the music, as you cross the sea
Cross your loved ones broken bones
Cos forever never to be free
Oh the king who sold his own …
Oh the king who sold his own …

White Man Coming lyrics - Chris Rea

White man coming, steal our freedom,
Take us to lands far away
He bring pain
And he bring fear now
Misery 'til your dying day

White man coming

Well they load up, by the water
Whip me hard
And chain me down
Oh … hell now, for your lifetime sure is
where we are bound

Oh, white man coming

Now you know your life is over
Its become just a hell in chains
Dignity is lying bleeding
Until nothing else remains

White man coming

Cry for your sister, cry to …
cry for your mother, cry for the one you love
See you running, see me running too
White man coming, for me and you

White man coming

Where The Blues Come From lyrics - Chris Rea

When a griot sings his perfect song
I found the place where I belong
What the griot sings I recognise
That soulful tune that made me cry
The story born inside his song
I finally found
Where the blues came from

His music came from a distant land
It moved and changed
With the desert sand
Upon the shores of hell his music froze
And came to be what we all now know
Where the blues come from

A wise old man he told me this
Where the pain you feel
And the music kiss
Melted down into a devil’s brew
The sadness came and she turned it blue
When you’re lonely
You will know this song
When it hurts so deep
And stays so long
Though its dark you know
Where you belong
Then you will know
Where the blues come from

Lord Tell Me It Won't Be Long lyrics - Chris Rea

Oh Lord, tell me it won’t be long

I’ll take this pain, but tell me it won’t be long
Oh Lord please tell me it won’t be long

Oh they say the Lord is waiting
And I try to do no wrong
And the tears we cry will all run dry
On the other side they’ll be gone

Oh Lord tell me it won’t be long

Work Gang lyrics - Chris Rea

Well you chop the wood, you bring the hammer down
But when your work is done,well you’re
chained and bound
You get up next day, with your aching pain
Well you take the whip
And you start again

Now you’re long gone, where you came from
It’s the same song from way back home

Days are so long, pray to someone
Maybe white god
Will take us home …

Now you’re long gone …
Your hear the sound in church
Hear the white folks sing
Maybe some sweet day
You hear them church bells ring
And your chains will break
And the pain be gone
See me dancing on a Sunday
To a freedom song

Yeah, you’re long gone,where you came from
It’s the same song
From way back home

Days are so long
Pray to someone
Maybe white god
Will take us home

Days are so long
Pray to someone
Maybe white god
Will take us home …

Yeah you’re long gone …

Praise The Lord lyrics - Chris Rea

Well I’m talking with my brother,
I’m talking with my brother
I say what’s going on?
What a strange kind of music
Where’s it coming from?
Well, they sing it in the churches
They sing that Jesus saves
Oh they sing about the Holy Land
While they beat up on their slaves

Singing praise the Lord
Well I got to know this Jesus
I got to find out what he do
If you keep them in fine house
Maybe they’ll sing for me and you
Singing praise the Lord
Learn the rules of sin
Praise the Lord
Maybe he’ll let us in
Singing praise the chance
This could all be true
Well there’s nothing to lose
For me and you
So praise the Lord

Sweet Sunday lyrics - Chris Rea

We get up early in the morning
Work our skin down to the bone
But whenever I hear that singing
I know that one day I’ll get home
Oh the rhythm that I’m feeling
Seems to say something good to me
Oh on Monday, through the weekday
But then Sunday sets us free

Oh Sunday, sweet Sunday
When I lay my body down
Oh Sunday,my only one day
With a new love that I found
Sit by the water and watch the big tree
In the cool breeze gently sway
Til the day that we get free,well
We’ll always love
Our sweet Sunday

Sweet Sunday

I go to church with my mother
I see the girl that I would love
Maybe one day she’ll turn and smile at me
This is what I ask the Lord above
Oh when a singing
When it’s over maybe I’ll take her
Back to her home
Talk and laugh 'til night comes calling
Then I’ll go back on my own

Sweet Sunday

I got no money to buy her new shoes
But Lord please listen what I say
Help me through this 'til I’m a free man
And get sweet Sunday every day

Sweet Sunday, sweet Sunday

Sing Out The Devil lyrics - Chris Rea

Sing out the Devil, take him, shake him down
Sing out the Devil 'til he hits the ground
Sing out the Devil

Cut him out
Cut him clean
Cos there’s only ever bad blood where he just been
Sing out the Devil, shake him down
Sing out the Devil 'til he hits the ground

Sing out the Devil

Oh I’m crying to the Lord above
Oh I’m crying Lord above
Don’t you feel my fear?
You’ve got to help me
When Satan comes near

Sing out the Devil

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Oh I’m crying, yeah I’m crying
Sing out the Devil, yeah, sing out the Devil
Come on
Sing out the Devil

Boss Man Cut My Chains lyrics - Chris Rea

Well the boss man cut my chains and set me free
Now I don’t know, I don’t know what will come of me
I don’t know nothing except the way I live …
Now the boss man cut my chains
And set me free

My father was a working slave
Just like me
You learn to keep your head down
Don’t look to see
What’s going on all around you
All my life been that way
Now the boss man cut my chains
And he walk away

Now I can’t write and I can’t read
I have no school
And here I’m standing in the world
Like a worn out mule
I don’t know what is going to come now
Or what will be
Well now the boss man cut my chains
Says him free

What can I do
What’s going to become of me?
I don’t know nothing
Except these working fields I see
Oh now I’m standing on the outside
With a fear inside me
Now the boss man cut my chains
And said I’m free

Walkin' Country Blues lyrics - Chris Rea

Well, I'm looking for the boss man
Maybe give some work to me
Yeah, I'm looking for the boss man
Maybe give some work to me
Trouble is I keep finding
They want you to work for free
Keep on walking, keep on walking country blues

I got two strong arms, mister
They won't let you down
I got two strong arms, mister
They won't let you down
But the boss man say, ain't no work around
Gotta keep on walking
Keep on walking country blues

Well, papa was a slave, it was all he ever knew
Well, papa was a slave, it was all he ever knew
They tell me that I'm free
But I ain't got no work to do
Keep on walking
Keep on walking country blues

Man Gone Missing lyrics - Chris Rea

Man gone missing
Let the good Lord above rest his soul
Man gone missing
Let the good Lord above rest his soul

Did he runaway or did they kill him
Seems nobody knows

Man gone missing
Hell dogs barking loud all through the night
Man gone missing
Hear those hell dogs barking loud all through the night
I swear I hear him screaming
I swear I hear him fight

Man gone missing
There's an empty place in the field
at the break of the day
Man gone missing
There's an empty place in the field
at the break of the day
What happened to him last night?
Nobody say
Man gone missing

Can't Stay Blues lyrics - Chris Rea

You know I love you Mama
You know I do
I'll always love you Mama
But I've got the can't stay blues
I don't know what it is
That keeps driving me on
I don't know what it is
That keeps driving me on
Something burns inside me when I'm not moving on
I can't stay

Oh I hear a voice inside my soul
And I hear what it says
Oh I've got to be moving
at the break of day
I can't stay

Something calling out to me
on the other side of that door
No matter how far I go
My soul cries out for more
I can't stay
I've got the can't stay blues

KKK Blues lyrics - Chris Rea

I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I got a fear inside me
Call it the KKK

Well they beat up my woman
Found her lying in a field of hay
Well they beat up my woman
Found her lying in a field of hay
They sent a posse out
But the posse
They all in the KKK

Well there's a mess upon the ground there
My brother hanging from a tree
Well there's a mess upon the ground there
My brother hanging from a tree
I got to move away, so fast
Cos the KKK gonna get me

Too Much Drinkin' lyrics - Chris Rea

I went down to the juke joint
See what I could find
I went down to the juke joint
See what I could find
Well I lost all my money
Too much drinking on my mind
There was a girl down from Jackson
Oh my she looked fine
Yeah there was a girl down from Jackson
Oh my how she looked so fine
She took off with all that I had
Too much drinking on my mind

Now I'm laid out in a jailhouse
But I did not do no crime
Now I'm laid out in a jailhouse
But I did not do no crime
Where I was I don't remember
Too much drinking on my mind
Yeah, they fixed me up real good
Yeah, they fixed me up real fine
I could not think of no alibi
Cos too much drinking on my mind

Catwalk Woman lyrics - Chris Rea

I see her coming down the catwalk
She all silk and high heel shoes
She dressed to kill anybody
Oh this darling she can't lose

She's a diamond in the night
She kick away your aching blues
But it ain't what she's wearing
It's in the way that she moves
Oh, it ain't what she's wearing
It's in the way that she moves

See that big red roasted tail
See him crying like a child
Oh he's got to have this angel
Oh, she's gonna drive him wild
See her see-thru silk kimono
Oh I swear she's gonna blow some fuse
but it ain't what she's wearing
Oh no, it's the way she moves

She got a face that spins your head around
She got a smile you can't refuse
She got eyes that knock you over
Oh this darling she can't lose
She's got a see-thru silk kimono
Oh I swear she gonna blow some fuse
But it ain't what she's wearing, no
It's in the way that she moves

If You've Got A Friend In Jesus lyrics - Chris Rea

If you've got a friend in Jesus
Won't you tell him about me
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Won't you tell him about me
Tell him buy me off the boss man
And set me free

If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him help this broken man
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Help this broken man
I got too much twistin' pain
Drinkin' gasoline from an old steam can

If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him listen what I say
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him listen what I say
You've got to save me from this Satan
And help me find a way

You've got a friend in Jesus

Head Out On The Highway lyrics - Chris Rea

Head out on the Highway
I've gotta lose these country blues
Head out on the Highway
I've gotta lose these country blues
Ain't nothing for me here no more
Ain't nothing I can do

I was bad with my woman
She took up and flew away
I was bad with my woman
She took up and flew away
Now she gone and left me
Got no reason for to stay

I went back to her doorway
But she would not let me in
I went back to her doorway
But she would not let me in
Now she knows I was cheating
It's a game I cannot win
Head out on the highway

Wild Pony lyrics - Chris Rea

Oh I got me a wild pony
I sure can't stay on top
Oh I got me a wild pony
I sure can't stay on top
Every time I try to pull her in
She always throw me off

Oh I got me a wild pony
She's the type so hard to find
Oh I got me a wild pony
She's the type so hard to find
If she done a rodeo
She kick you off every time

Oh wild pony
Here she come now

Me and my wild pony
Someday I'm gonna break her in
Me and my wild pony
Someday I'm gonna break her in
Gonna take her to the race track
For sure I know she'll win

Wild pony, come on wild pony

Steam Train Blues lyrics - Chris Rea

Steam train goes so fast
Goes so far away
I hear that engine sing
Listen to what it say
Gonna get me on that track
Get on board some day

Hear that whistle blow
She cry out in the night
See the flame light a smokestack
Such a beautiful sight

She tell me she going somewhere
And everything going to be alright
Steam train blues

She's in the distance now
But I still hear her piston roar
She's in the distance now
But I still hear her piston roar
Ain't coming back no more

Steam train blues

Going Up To Memphis lyrics - Chris Rea

Well I ain't got no door key
I ain't got no shiny shoes
Well I ain't got no door key
I ain't got no shiny shoes
I'm going on to Memphis
See what I can do

Well I got cheated on a sharecrop
I tell what i say is true
Well I got cheated on a sharecrop
I tell what i say is true
I'm going on to Memphis
See what I can do

Oh my woman she don't want me
I swear she's cheating too
My woman she don't want me
I swear she's cheating too
I'm going on to Memphis
See what I can do

Next time you see me baby
I'll be wearing those shiny shoes
Next time you see me baby
I'll be wearing those shiny shoes
I'm going on to Memphis
And I'm going to see what I can do

Somewhere Between Highway 61 & 49 lyrics - Chris Rea

Only God know what I'm feeling
I'm just waiting for a sign
Only God know what I'm feeling
See me looking for that sign
But the devil he may get me
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49

Well now Mama used to cry
Lord help that boy of mine
My Mama used to cry
She said lord help that son of mine
Cos there's only one place that he's wanting
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49

Oh there was only ever one place
For the troubled soul to find
Oh there was only ever one place
For the troubled soul to find
Caught between the bible and the devil
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49

Roll a dice, take a chance
Put your future on the line
Roll a dice and take a chance
Put your future on the line
Cos your fear and your fortune
Is somewhere between Highway 61 and 49

There's only one place he can go now
There's only one place for this kind
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49

Ticket For Chicago lyrics - Chris Rea

Now there's a train coming
You've got to get on board
Now there's a train coming
You've got to get on board
Don't need no new religion
It's not what this train is for

Now there's a train coming
It come from New Orleans
Now there's a train coming
It come from New Orleans
Well there's some real fine ladies there
The best I ever seen

Now this train is travelling
Up to a city that I know
Now this train is travelling
Up to a city that I know
If you want a dream come true
Get a ticket for Chicago

Now this train is travelling
Up to a city that I know
If you want a dream come true
Get a ticket for Chicago

Dance All Night Long lyrics - Chris Rea

Oh Lord, oh Lord
Sometimes I feel like crying
Oh but I have a good time sometimes

Oh Lord can you hear me crying
Oh sometimes you got to have a good time
Gonna dance all night
Dance all night

Al night long
Oh Lord you've got to hear me
have a good time sometimes

Life is so hard, so hard, so hard
Can you hear me crying
Sometimes you've got to have a good time
Sometimes you've got to make the sunshine

All night long
Get me woman
Be glad for me baby
And I'll be glad for you

I got a silver dollar
Got to have some fun sometime
I'm gonna dance all night long

Two Days Missing Down The Viper Room lyrics - Chris Rea

I went down to the Viper room
Just the other day
I only popped by
For something to take away
Just for a while I thought I'd stay
Two shots of whiskey and the band began to play
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble

I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble

My baby she gone
Without a trace
I got blood on my jacket
And a bruise on my face
They say the cops are coming
Yeah they get me soon
They seem to know what happened
Down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room

Who Cares If I Do lyrics - Chris Rea

I'm on the train to nowwhere
See me coming through
Got to find me something
Something new
I take all my chances
And who cares if I do

Yeah I don't feel nothing
Nothing no more
Gonna buy me an old 44
I got nothing to lose
Who cares if I do
Who cares if I do

Oh I ain't gonna take it
I don't care who
If I go down
You'll go too
Down with the Devil
Who cares if I do

What Made Me Love You lyrics - Chris Rea

I got your letter
The other day
I guess I knew
What you could not day
Oh babe
I can forgive
But I can't forget

Because your cheating heart
Well it done me wrong
I fell for your lies
Now you've been and gone
I can forgive
But I can't forget

You cheated on me
Well, you hurt me so
You said you loved me
That you would never go
What made me love you
I will never know
What made me love you

You Got Dixie lyrics - Chris Rea

Take a gospel song
With an Irish tune
And let it flow
Down to New Orleans
Where the Cajun queens
Will let you know
With the rhythm
That you feel
Your getting me near to the soul
Put it down
Oh keep that sound
Chain it down
Cos you got, yeah
You got Dixie

I learnt from Taj Mahal
I learnt from Senegal
I'm moving in
Yes I am
Satchmo way to see
A drop in Cornell Dupree
And see me grin

Oh the big town man
He won't ever know
What makes it swing
He got no soul
Oh, he got trouble
Yeah, he got pressure
Oh he got deep regret
And we got Dixie
Oh, we got Dixie

Put it down
Oh keep that sound
Chain it down
We got Dixie

One Night With You lyrics - Chris Rea

Some say she's a broken honky tonk
Some say she's an ageing queen
But I don't give no fuss
For that bitchin' kind of stuff
Cos honey you're the best I've ever seen
Take me to your darkest secret
Oh tell me of your wildest dreams
Baby just one night is
All I want to do
Get a night with you
All I want to do
Get a night with you

Talking with some boozed up crowd
That put you down
Oh the cold blooded whispers
Man they like to twist it round and round and round
But they can't teach you anything oh no
Cos there's only one thing I need to know
Take me to your darkest secret
Oh tell me of your wildest dreams
Baby just one night is all I want to do
Get a night with you
All I want to do
Get a night with you

Take me to your darkest secret
Oh tell me of your wildest dreams
Baby just one night is all I want to do
Get a night with you
All I want to do, yeah
Is get a night with you

Talking 'bout New Orleans lyrics - Chris Rea

How it all goes down
Sure ain't plain to see
Nobody knows for sure
How it all came to be
Oh, the laughin' faces
Behind a painted smile
Talk the talk of swing-bop
For the people dance its bastard child
Talking 'bout New Orleans
Nothing here is what it seems
Pass down a showbiz dream
Well we're talking 'bout New Orleans
Talking 'bout New Orleans
We've got to jump the way
They think we jump all day
We got to dance the dance, yeah
Just like the white man say
For sure we play the game
For sure we walk the line
We just taking what chances coming
Between the nickel and the dime, yeah
Talking 'bout New Orleans
Nothing's what it seems
Pass down the showbiz dream
Well I'm talking 'bout New Orleans

Oh catfish girl

Only A Fool Plays By The Rules lyrics - Chris Rea

She come on like a whorehouse
All painted in lipstick red
She had some kind of making
You believe everything she said
She said guilt and confusion
It's just an illusion
Only a fool plays by the rules
Only a fool plays by the rules

Stick with me baby
Try to look cool
Cos only a fool plays by the rules

She show me things that I never, ever seen saw
She took me way past my red light
Showed me what the night was for
Guilt and confusion
Now I know it's just an illusion
Only a fool plays by the rules
Only a fool plays by the rules
Stick with me baby
Try to stay cool
Only a fool plays by the rules

Baby Come Home lyrics - Chris Rea

Baby come home
Can't sleep without you
Baby come home
Oh, you know that I care
I need this feeling
Like I need a hole in the head
If life is without you I would rather be dead
Oh baby come come
Yeah baby come come

Oh the morning light is creeping
Across the cold bedroom floor
I need to hear somebody
Walking gently through my door
Baby, please, baby
Please hear what I say
Oh I'm gonna be a good boy
I won't lose it no more no way
I'm singing, baby, baby please come home
Oh I can't live without you
Baby come home
I gotta have you hear
Baby come home
Baby please come home

Electric Guitar lyrics - Chris Rea

Got me an electric guitar
Don't she look so pretty
I got me an electric guitar
Oh don't she look so pretty
I bought her in a small town
I'm gonna take her to the city

I got me a box with a with a speaker
I'm gonna make that baby sing
I got me a box with a with a speaker
I'm gonna make that baby sing
I'm gonna find me a future
Somewhere between these strings

Every song about a railroad track
Every song about not coming back
We'll be together, no matter how far
You and me and my electric guitar

When I turn that plastic circle
Man I get to play real loud
Oh, when I turn that plastic circle man
Man I get to play real loud
Now I can play above the bar noise
Man I'm bigger than a crowd

Got me an electric guitar

Well, they can fight and break the glasses
Now I don't hear them no more
Yeah they can fight and break the glasses
I don't hear them like before
I'm gonna take her to the city
I wont come back no more

Got me an electric guitar, yeah guitar

Electric Memphis Blues lyrics - Chris Rea

Caught the midnight train
I go hustling through the night
I caught the midnight train
I go hustling through the night
Gonna jump off north of Memphis
When my hometown's out of sight

They say there's only the Devil waiting
In the big city way up there
They say there's only the Devil waiting for me
In the big city way up there
What they don't seem to know
What I been through
I just don't care, no

Gonna get me one of them
Shiny new electric guitars
I'm gonna get me one of them
Shiny new electric guitars
All my best friends say
Well, that's how they're gonna know who you are

Electric Memphis
Electric Memphis Blues
Electric Memphis
Electric Memphis Blues
Electric Memphis
See me coming through
