Truly Western Experience

I feel frustration comin' back
I'm not sure just where i'm at
I'm losing touch w/ what i'm trying to be
I need someone to show the way
Not someone to share the blame
Well it's not down to you
It's up to me

Don't wanna hang from someone's string
Or answer someone else's ring
The things i'm wanting most in life are free
No, living hand-to-mouth's no treat
Till bitter end the dream's still sweet
It's not down to you
It's up to me

Well, it's up to me
Lord it's up to me
It's not down to you
It's up to me 2x

Well, i feel frustration coming back
I'm not sure just where i'm at
It seems the times and i just don't agree
But i can stand on my own feet
I won't quit until i'm beat
Well it's not down to you
It's up to me

It's up to me
Lord, it's up to me
It's not down to you
It's up to me

An old cool cat from way downtown
He's been boppin all around
This old world were living fast
Afraid some day were gonna run outa gas
If your'e travellin that way too
I'l tell you folks what you better do
You gotta
Stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missing
Stop, look and listen
You might be missing kissin
If you're travelling slow
You'll go a long long way

Well farmer jones he came to town
Saw that boppin all around
Learned to do it, there's no doubt
Fraid some day he'll burn his motor out
If you're travellin that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta
Stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin
Stop, look listen
You might be missing kissin
If you're travelling slow
You'll go a long long way

First came the boogie, then the bunny hop
Now the (rumble, samba) then the bop
I don't know what's comin next
This old world's in a terrible fix
If you're travellin that way too
I'l tell you folks what you better do
You gotta
Stop, look and listen
Don't know what you're missin
Stop, look listen
You might be missing kissin
If you're travelling slow
You'll go a long long way

I know a cool cat from way outta town
He's been boppin all around
This old world we're living fast
Afraid some day were gonna run outa gas
If you're travellin that way too
I'll tell you folks what you better do
You gotta
Stop, look and listen
You don't know what you're missin
Stop, look listen
You might be missing kissin
If you're travelling slow
You'll go a long long way

When i wink at you with one of my eyes
Mean to meet behind the barn in 5
I'll be waiting with a sweet surprise

Oooh...

Folks might wonder where we've wandered to
Might be doing things we aint' supposed to do
I just wanna spend some time alone with you

Oooh...

Hanky panky
Hanky panky 2x

Maybe tomorrow we can go for a ride
In the country sitting side by side
I've got some things that i'd like to confide

Knowing things that i do
And showing myself to you
My habit-forming, tradition-ignoring ways to you are fine
Well i'm tickled pink to think
That you're mine

I dug up a missing link
When i uncovered you
My lonely days are now extinct
With this evolution of you
I'm tickled pink
Seeing things that you do
And being one of the few
Whose habit-forming, tradition-ignoring ways to me are fine
Well i'm tickled pink to think
That you're mine

A glance from you
I'm on the brink of melting to the core
As told to me by my instinct
There's ecstasy galore in store
I'm tickled pink
Seeing things that you do
And being one of the few
Whose habit-forming, tradition-ignoring ways to me are fine
Well i'm tickled pink
To think
That you are mine

There you go
Walking away
Each step you take
Bring heartaches my way
She's won your heart
I've lost it someway
The way i feel
You're walking away
If i hadn't cheated
And i hadn't lied
I'd be the one
Walking by your side
I love you still
I guess that it shows
The way i feel
There you go

If i hadn't cheated
And i hadn't lied
I'd be the one... i'd be the one
Walking by your side
I love you still
I guess that it shows
The way i feel
There you go
The way i feel
There you go
