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

Life is so hard, so hard, so hard

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
