01. Runnin' With The Devil

I live my life like there's no tomorrow, and all I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow.
Yes I'm living at a pace that kills

Oh, yeah
Ah! Running with the devil
Ah-hah! Yeah!
Woo-hoo-oo!
Running with the devil
I'm gonna tell ya all about it

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waiting at home

Ah, yeah-ah!
Running with the devil
God damn it lady. You know I ain't lying to ya
I'm only gonna tell you one time ya!
Running with the devil
Yes I am! Yeah!

Woo!

Woo!

You know I, I found the simple life
Weren't so simple, no, When I jumped out, on that road
Got no love, no love you'd call real
Got nobody, waiting at home

Ah, yeah!
Running with the devil
Hold on. Hold on, I'm running! Ah, yeah!
Running with the devil
Uh! Uh! Come on, one more time

(Guitar Solo)

Ha-yeah!
Running with the devil
Oh, yeah! Ya-yeah!
Running with the devil
Woo! Woo!
Running with the devil
Ah-ha, yeah! Ah-ha, yeah! Ah-hah, yeah!
Running with the devil
Woo!

06. Jamie's Cryin

She saw the look in his eyes
And she knew better
He wanted her tonight
And it was now or never
He made her feel so sad
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's crying
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's crying
Now Jamie wouldn't say all right
She knew he'd forget her
And so they said ah-good night
Oh, and now he's gone forever

She wants to send him a letter, uh yeah yeah
Uh, just to try to make herself feel better
It said "Gimme (Gimme a call sometime)"
But she knows what that'll get her

Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's crying
Oh, whoa, whoa, Jamie's crying

Now Jamie's been in love before
And she knows what love is for
It should mean a little, a little more
Than one night stands. Woo!

Just to try to make herself feel better
It said "Gimme (Gimme a call sometime)"

09. Little Dreamer

They may talk about you cold when you were headed for the skies
But you were young and bold, and baby
Didn't that change with a wink-a your eye

Now no one's talking 'bout those crazy days gone by
No one talks about the times you cried

(Oh-oh) Little dreamer
(Oh-oh) Little dreamer

And then they went and they voted you
Least likely to succeed
I had to tell them baby you were armed with all you'd need

Seems no one's talking 'bout those crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were really last?

(Oh-oh) You are the little dreamer
(Oh-oh) You were, the little dreamer. Yeah-yeah!

Yeah, they talk about you cold when you were headed for the skies
But you were young and bold, and baby
Didn't that change with a wink o' your eye

Seems no one's talking 'bout the crazy days gone past
Weren't they amazed when you were really last?

(Oh-oh) You are the little dreamer
(Oh-oh) Little dreamer, yeah. Oh-oh
(Oh-oh) Yeah. Little dreamer
(Oh-oh) Little dreamer
