Back In The Saddle
( Tyler / Perry )



I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
 
Ridin' into town alone
By the light of da moon
I'm looking for ole' Sukie Jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to gimme a wink
That'd make a grown man cry
 
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
 
Umm... come easy go easy alright
'Til the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more

Fools' gold outta their mines
The girls are soaking wet
No tongue's drier than mine
I'll come when I get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

I'm riding... I'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding... I really got a fistful
I'm riding... I'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding... this snake is gonna rattle
 
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
 
Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high



Last Child
( Tyler / Whitford )



Oooo ooo...

I'm dreaming tonight... I'm leaving back home

Right

Yea... yeah
 
Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassee
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poontang sweetheart
Sweathog who can make silk purse from a J. Paul Get-(ty)
... And his ear
With her face in her beer

Home sweet home

Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plough
And my feets in the ghetto

Stand up sit down
Don't do nothin'
It ain't no good when boss man's stuffin' it
Down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the street

Home sweet home

Mama take me home sweet home

I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the street




J. Paul Get-(ty)   Steven fuckin' Tyler is just too funny! I just realized WHY... this lyric is correct! OMG... it's only taken 35 fucking years!! J. Paul Get is just shorten to hit the rhyme with "sweat" from the previous line... and of course we know he means John Paul Getty! But... he's not talking about the dad... senior Getty! He's talking about J. Paul Getty the third... a grandson! Why you ask?? Because back in 1973 while in Rome at age 16... J. Paul Getty III was kidnapped... and soon after... three months later... an envolope with his hair locks and one of his ears arrived at the Getty household that was sent by the kidnappers to prove that they meant business! They wanted millions for the safe return of JPG III... So now that line just makes total sense... Fuckin' Tyler is something else man... too funny!!
On the Rocks album he doesn't seem to be singing... "make a silk purse"... you just hear... "make silk purse"... but on all the live tracks you can hear him singing it with the "a" included... "make a silk purse"... tommy



Rats In The Cellar
( Tyler / Perry )



Goin' under rats are in the cellar
Goin' under skin's turnin' yellar
Nose is runny losin' my connection
Losin' money gettin' no affection

New York City blues
East side West side news
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That'chor wearin'
Tearin' me apart

Ain't complainin' 'cause everything's rotten
Go insanin' and everything's forgotten
Feelin' cozy rats are in the cellar
Cheeks are rosy skin's turning yellar
Loose and soggy lookin' rather lazy
Soon my body pushin' up the daisies

New York City's dues
East side West side news
Throw me in the slam
A catch me if you can
Believe
That'chor wearin'
Tearin' me apart

New York City blues
East side West side news
Throw me in the slam
A catch me if you can
Believe
That'chor wearin'
Tearin' me apart



Combination
( Perry )



The street is cold the dawn is grey
My heart says no but my head says stay
My work is finished or so I've been told
You can't part the three of us once we got a hold

I forgot my name
I took the shot on the chin
I'm re-arranging my game
Tell by the shape I'm...

... In line of fire you know what to say
They gave us no choices just one shade of grey
My legs keep moving don't seem to stray
But I know each step we take they're one step away

I found the secret the key to the vault
We walked in darkness kept hitting the walls
I took the time to feel for the door
I found the secret the key to it all

I got the nouveauree
And dragged it home to bed
I traded you for me
I took it all and said

I find my own fun sometimes for free
I got to pay it to come lookin' for me
Walking on Gucci wearin' Yves Saint Laurent
Barely stay on 'cause I'm so God damn gaunt

I found the secret the key to the vault
We walked in darkness kept hitting the walls
I took the time to feel for the door
I found the secret the key to it all




Steven is hanging all over Joe & reading the lyrics from the stage tele-prompt... So maybe the lyric really is nouveau riche and Joe just bends the sound of it so it rhymes with "me"...
So maybe WE... just found the key to the vault!
It's too cool how Joe kept his concentration with Steven right there in his face... It didn't look like Steven was being a dick or anything... I'm thinking more along the lines of just an awesome Jagger/Richards... Tyler/Perry moment... too neat... tommy





Nouveauree... Well I have no idea??

I can not find the meaning of this word anywhere... in any language! But I've gotten hold of an official looking complete Aerosmith songbook for the first 7 albums up to and including "Ruts"... and even this book is showing nouveauree! So far it's clarified several questions on several songs... so I'm inclined to believe it! I really don't know what Joe was reaching for here! I don't think he transformed it from nouveau riche that was used on the Nine Lives album and means "new rich"... but of course I could be wrong... I read somewhere that he might mean some sort of drug concoction... but who knows! It could also just be Joe using "poetic license" to keep the song flowing... wish I knew for sure! If you listen to it enough times... you can pretty much hear exactly whatever it is that  you want to hear... LoL Just one of those times you have to say FUCK IT... and move on... tommy



Sick As A Dog
(Tyler / Hamilton )



Please... I just got to talk to you
Please... a get'cha your head out of the loo
Please... we're a long long way from home
Please... you'd turn a young man's face to stone
 
Sick as a dog what's your story
Sick as a dog a cat got'cha tongue
Sick as a dog you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog you're really ain't that young
 
Please... you were much to my surprise
Please... you're the lady in disguise
Please... you're the only a friend I got
Please... you'll be the last to see me rot

Sick as a dog what's your story
Sick as a dog uum... cat got'cha tongue
Sick as a dog you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog a 'cause ya really ain't that young

Please... it's a shame you're so refined
Please... you was the last thing on my mind
Please... don't be late to take it light
Please... you're gonna fade into the night

Sick as a dog what's your story
Sick as a dog uum... cat got'cha tongue
Sick as a dog you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog 'cause you really ain't so young....
Shuuuu...

Take it light
Take it light
Take it light
Take it light
Say goodnight
Take it light



Nobody's Fault
( Tyler / Whitford )


Lord I must be dreamin'
What else could this be
Everybody's screamin'
Runnin' for the sea

Holy lands are sinkin'
Birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinking drunk
I know the reason why

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up to the knees

Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Of the lame

Sorry... you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now they say it's nobody's fault

Old St. Andres
Seven years ago
Shove it up their richters
Red lines stop and go
Noblemen of courage
Listen with their ears
Spoke but how discouragin'
When no one really hears

One of these day's a you'll be sorry
Too many houses on the stilt
Three million years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt
 
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Of the lame

Sorry you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
A shit piled up in debris
 
California show time
Five o'clock's the news
Everybody's concubine
Was prone to take a snooze
 
Sorry you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an aweful job
And now we're just a little too late



Get The Lead Out
(Tyler / Perry )


Doo... you like good boogie
Like the real good woogie
Hear the juke box singin'
A get the dance hall swingin'
A wont'cha grab my shaker
I gotta meet'chor maker
Uumm... get out the lead
Get out of bed
Get the lead out

Get ready... I'll show you my fist
Get ready... take hold of my wrist
Get ready... we really can't miss
Get ready

Uumm... hey good lookin'
A what'cha got there cookin'
You a young spring chicken
A make your feet start kickin'

No no... no no... no no... no no
No no... no no... no no... no no

Get ready... I'll show you my fist
Get ready... take hold of my wrist
Get ready... we really can't miss
Get ready

Ooo... hey good lookin'
A what'cha got there cookin'

Hey good lookin'
A what'cha got there cookin'
You a young spring chicken
A make your feet start kickin'
Boot it out dance without me

No no.. no no... no no... no no... no no... no no...



Lick And A Promise
(Tyler / Perry )



Johnny come lately on a Saturday night
Singin' how to go
Backstreet boogie in the house of delight
When he steal the show
Money come sour but the ladies are sweet
It's a love affair
Whole place rockin' people stompin' their feet
A when the gang's all there

He gets his woman every night for free
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
I sing na na na na na
Na na na na na

Johnny like to gamble with his lady Louise
She was a black jack deuces are wild
He got to thinkin' 'bout his nose in the breeze
Put it there Johnny looked and he smiled
He started thinkin' 'bout a fortune and fame
With the young girls down at his knees
He dug the money but forgot all their names
So he knew just how to appease
 
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
He gave the ladies a...
Lick and a promise

Lick and a promise
He gave the ladies a...
Lick and a promise
 
Loose change grubber in his early early years
Had his poor mama pacin' the floors
He grabbed a guitar and a couple a beers
Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more
 
He gets his woman every night for free
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe

I sing na na na na na
Sing na na na na na
Na na na na



Home Tonight
( Tyler )



Now it's time
To say good night to you
Now it's time
To bid'choo sweet adieu

And maybe drink of cheers to yesterday
And maybe you'll drink those tears away

So baby don't let go
Hold on real tight
'Cause i'll be home tonight
Tonight

So baby don't let go
Hold on real tight
'Cause i'll be home tonight
Tonight
Tonight
