I think it's gonna be good night here Rickey!
I think it's time to rock!
It's gonna be hell of a show!

People out there in the parking lot
Smoking that stuff it's a rebel flag rock
Turn it up, crank it out, let me hear you shout!
That sweet soul southern music!

So put your hands in the air
Give us all you got

We're feeling right (feelin' right)
Gonna take all night (take all night)
To rock this joint the way it's supposed to be
Young and old (young and old)
3 Generations bold (generations)
We've been told
It's a Skynyrd Nation!

Motorcycle ladies hugging up to their daddies
Oh teenage bangers they're all getting ready!
Open those gates gonna rock tonight
Oh when those lights go down it's a beautiful sight!

So put your hands in the air
Give us all you got

We're feeling right (feelin' right)
Gonna take all night (take all night)
To rock this joint the way it's supposed to be
Young and old (young and old)
3 Generations bold (generations)
We've been told
It's a Skynyrd Nation!

Hey put your hands in the air!

We're feeling right (feelin' right)
Gonna take all night (take all night)

Skynyrd Nation! (Young and Old)

I was cutting the rug down at a place called "The Jug"
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, "Hey there fellow with the hair colored yellow
Whatcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there and I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."

I was scared and fearing for my life,
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean, big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
"Oh wait a minute mister, I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble wit' chu.
And I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me
Ask one favor from you."

"Won't you give me three steps, gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see a-me no more." For sure.

Well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray,
And the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son, well it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.

"Won't you give me three steps, gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see a-me no more." Show me the back door.

Don't wanna wait 'til you know me better
Let's just be glad for the time together
Life's such a treat and it's time you taste it
There ain't a reason on earth to waste it
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

Don't need to wait for an invitation
You gotta live like you're on vacation
There's something sweet you can't buy with money - lick it up, lick it up
It's all you need, so believe me honey
It ain't a crime to be good to yourself

Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, ooh yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

Come on - it's only right now (it's only right now)
Ooh yeah (ooh yeah) ooh yeah (ooh yeah), yeah yeah

Lick it up, lick it up, it's only right now
Lick it up, lick it up, yeah yeah yeah
Lick it up, lick it up, come on, come on
Lick it up, lick it up

I feel up tight on a Saturday night
Nine o'clock and the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through
Comes on strong, tells me what I gotta do
I got to...

(Get up!) Everybody's gonna move their feet
(Get down!) Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City
(Get up!) Everybody's gonna move their feet
(Get down!) Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Getting late, I just can't wait
Ten o'clock and I know I gotta hit the road
First I drink, then I smoke
Start the car and I try to make the midnight show

(Get up!) Everybody's gonna move their feet
(Get down!) Everybody's gonna leave their seat
(Get up!) Everybody's gonna move their feet
(Get down!) Everybody's gonna leave their seat

Movin' fast down 95
Hit top speed but I'm still movin' much too slow
I feel so good, I'm so alive
I hear my song playin' on the radio
It goes...

(Get up!) Everybody's gonna move their feet
(Get down!) Everybody's gonna leave their seat
You gotta lose your life in Detroit Rock City

Twelve o'clock, I gotta rock
There's a truck ahead, lights starin' at my eyes
Oh my god, no time to turn
I got to laugh 'cause I know I'm gonna die!
WHY?

(Get up!) Everybody's gonna move their feet
(Get down!)
(Get up!) Everybody's gonna leave their seat
(Get down!)

SHE got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
SHE got a Philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys, you just gotta laugh
Now I used to call her Cindy
She changed her name to "Sin"
I guess that's the name of her game
WELL I really used to love her
BUT THEN she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing

NOW all around the world
Girls will be girls
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no no no
No no no

Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet fairwell
Last time I saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells

WELL all around the world
Girls will be girls
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
Just like a punch in the teeth
Or a swan dive to the street

Friday night and I need a fight
My motorcycle and a switchblade knife
Handful of grease in my hair feels right
But what I need to make me tight are

Girls, girls, girls
Long legs and burgundy lips
Girls, girls, girls
Dancin' down on Sunset Strip
Girls, girls, girls
Red lips, fingertips

Trick or treat, sweet to eat
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Yankee girls you just can't be beat
But you're the best when you're off your feet

Girls, girls, girls
At the Dollhouse in Ft. Lauderdale
Girls, girls, girls
Rocking in Atlanta at Tattletails
Girls, girls, girls
Raising Hell at the 7th Veil

Have you read the news
In the Soho Tribune
Ya know she did me
Well then she broke my heart

I'm such a good good boy
I just need a new toy
I tell you what, girl
Dance for me
I'll keep you overemployed
Just tell me a story
You know the one I mean

Crazy Horse, Paris, France
Forgot the names, remember romance
I got the photos, a menage a trois
Musta broke those French's laws with those

Girls, girls, girls
At the Body Shop and the Marble Arch
Girls, girls, girls
Tropicana's where I lost my heart

Girls, girls, girls

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
not by myself, not alone.
I ain't askin' for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I'm just lookin' for some tush.

Clean shirt, new sh***
And I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
Cufflinks, stick pin
when I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry 'cause my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Hey, lady - you got the love I need
Maybe - more than enough
Oh, darlin', darlin', darlin', walk a while with me
Oh, you've got so much, so much, so much -

Many have I loved
Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed
Along the open road.

Many times I've lied
And many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered
How much there is to know.

Many dreams come true
And some have silver linings
I live for my dream
And a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man
Who knows what he's been missing
Many many men
Can't see the open road.

Many is a word
That only leaves you guessing,
Guessing 'bout a thing
You really ought to know, oh, oh, oh, oh
Really ought to know, oh, ohh
I really ought to know, oh
You know, I should, you know, I should
You know, I should...
