Live Alive Quo

( parfitt / lancaster )

Down at backwater junction
Rolling down the line
In the dark early morning
I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway
Needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me
And she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry
Down the backwater road

In a house on the corner
Looking over the track
I woke up with a fever
And a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me
My fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling
But the lady said no
The lover needs a doctor
Down the backwater road

Whatcha' lookin' for
Whatcha' lookin' for
Lady do you know whatcha' lookin' for
Was i wrong to play along
Lady was i right or lady was i wrong

Backwater doctor
You've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning
And i'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady
But i wasn't to know
Lady left this morning
And she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me
Down the backwater road

You can't see what you mean to me
I just can't get you out of my head
You move me more than i've ever been
Like a wild supersonic jet
But i can see your love drifting away
And i don't want your love d-d-d-drifting away

I got told by a friend of mine
That you don't want me anymore
Now my friend's got a broken nose
Sure and i got a broken jaw
So don't push me around, throw me away
And i don't want your love d-d-d-drifting away

Don't you know what i'm living for
Don't you know what i'm trying to say
Don't try to shove me outta that door
'cos you're mine and it's staying that way
I'm giving you my love just throw it away
But i can see your love d-d-d-drifting away
Oh drifting away you got me drifting away
Oh drifting away

i can't afford a ticket
On an old dakota airplane
Gotta jump a ride
On a cattle trucking slowtrain
Guess it doesn't matter
As long as i can get my head down in the sun.

I wrote a rocking song
Gonna sing it at the station
Finish all the words
When i reach my destination
Guess it doesn't matter
As long as i can get my head down in the sun.

Hey mama, please now don't you fret none
Don't worry but please don't you forget
Hey mama, please don't get upset none
Gotta leave and find me something better
Hey mama, things are gonna work out fine now
Believe me need for you to write
Hey mama, things are gonna work out fine now
I've got a friend said that she'd invite me.

I came here in the morning
And i crept out in the middle of the night
I gave nobody warning i was leaving
And i felt it was right
Now i'm off again
And it sure is feeling alright.

Got a feeling that i'm living
With a ticket and i won't jump a ride
It's no good you believing
That my leaving was a-wrong, it was right
Now i'm off again
And it sure is feeling alright.

I never knew of heartache
'til i messed with you
I sure do sitting here
And feeling all the pain
I just can't sleep now
'cos i'm hoping that you'll keep
Another heartache for my heart again

My mama taught me
How to read from the good book
My papa taught me
How to win and lose a game
They went down smiling
'cos they left me all they had
Plus another heartache for my heart again

But now it's fine, fine, fine
'cos you're with me all the time
There to care and share the things i do
And now it's fine, fine, fine
'cos you're with me all the time
Everywhere and even nowhere too

I use to make the late nights
On a cheap weekend
But all the women there were
Just a crying shame
I heard them saying
That they didn't think i'd stop
For another heartache for my heart again

But now it's fine, fine, fine
'cos you're with me all the time
There to care and share the things i do
And now it's fine, fine, fine
'cos you're with me all the time
Everywhere and even nowhere too
