Rancid - Memphis lyrics
[Rancid - Memphis lyrics]
I've lived my whole life
Made mistakes from the get-go
Street kid from the start, right
No regrets though
I do what I want, yeah, 'cause I said so
No sleep for the wicked, right, no, bed no
Rollin' with the punk rockers, I ain't lyin'
Fake guns, fake bands, fake punk
I ain't buyin' hit the road, all I know
Rock and roll ain't dyin'
About fifteen deep we hit
The streets low ridin'
By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it
To Memphis we were crazy
Tonight you're our blanket and you're
Gonna keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm
He was back, causin' troubled time's they're
A comin' 'round
Oh, no, let me go to another round
Tuesday night is when the
Storm's gonna settle down
Had a glance, circumstance, don't cause
Trouble bound
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin'
Smoke and mirrors as I watch, aw
That girl was trippin'
It's no fun, lost again
To have your heart broken
Greed is from a world that
Is built on hustlin'
By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it
To Memphis we were crazy
Tonight you're our blanket and you're
Gonna keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm
Embrace the fallen when they have failed
Every road can lead ya straight
Down to fuckin' hell
Embrace the fallen when they have failed
Yeah, every road can take ya
Straight down to hell
Doin' nothin' here
Everyone straight trippin'
Happier times are gone, past starts slippin'
This will be enough to keep
Me on the road livin' good every night
In a different city I'll be sleepin'
Let me know, here we go
Met a girl named Lola is she here
Is she there? Drinkin' Jack and Cola
She says, "Tim
Where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya"
Lola fired off her clothes and
Started rock and rollin'
By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it
To Memphis we were crazy
Tonight you're our blanket and you're
Gonna keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm
Made mistakes from the get-go
Street kid from the start, right
No regrets though
I do what I want, yeah, 'cause I said so
No sleep for the wicked, right, no, bed no
Rollin' with the punk rockers, I ain't lyin'
Fake guns, fake bands, fake punk
I ain't buyin' hit the road, all I know
Rock and roll ain't dyin'
About fifteen deep we hit
The streets low ridin'
By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it
To Memphis we were crazy
Tonight you're our blanket and you're
Gonna keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm
