Street Survivors

(allen collins - ronnie vanzant)

Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink fool, will drown you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Now they call you prince charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes
Say you'll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Hey, you're a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know i been there before

One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, lord might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you

Well i've heard lots of people say
They're gonna settle down
You don't see their faces
And they don't come around
Well i'm not that way
I got to move along

I like to drink and to dance all night
Comes to a fix not afraid to fight
You got that right
Said, you got that right
Sure got that right

Seems so long i been out on my own
Travel light and i'm always alone
Guess i was born with a travellin' bone
When my times up, i'll hold my own
You won't find me in an old folks home
You got that right
Well you got that right
Said, you got that right
Sure got that right
I tried everything in my life
Things i like i try 'em twice
You got that right
Sure got that right

Travellin' around the world, just singing my song
I got to go, lord i can't stay long
Here comes that ol' travellin' jones once again
I like to drink and to dance all night
Comes to a fix not afraid to fight
You got that right
Said, you got that right
Well you got that right
Sure got that right

How can you stand there smilin'
After all you've done
You know it seems to make you happy
When you've hurt someone
Twice before you fooled me
With your deceivin' and lyin'
Come in and close the door
One more time, one more time

Yeah you've been gone so long
No one knows where
And you say that you still love me
Then show me you care
'cause you got what it takes sweet mama
To make a man feel fine
So i'll take the word of a liar
One more time, one more time

Girl you've got me hungry
Losin' my mind
I know i'm playin' with fire
Get burned everytime
Yes i'm a fool for you baby i can't deny
But i got to have your sweet love
One more time, one more time

Girl you've got me hungry
Losin' my mind
I know i'm playin' with fire
I get burned everytime
Yes i'm a fool for you mama i can't deny
But i got to have your sweet love
One more time, one more time

Yes i'm her fool once more
I can read her brown eyes
But when the rooster crows tomorrow
Well its her turn to cry
I'm headed down that old road
She lost her free ride
So tonight i'll take what i paid for
One more time, one more time
One more time

(ronnie vanzant -- steve gaines)

My daddy told me always be strong son
Don't you ever cry
You find the pretty girls and then you love them
Then you say goodbye
I never dreamed that you would leave me
But now you're gone
I never dreamed that i would miss you
Woman won't you come back home

I never dreamed that you could hurt me
And leave me blue
I've had a thousand, maybe more
But never one like you
I never dreamed i could feel so empty
But now i'm down
I never dreamed that i would beg you
Woman i need you now

It seems to me i took your love for granted
It feels to me that this time i was wrong, so wrong
Oh lord now i feel so lonely
I say woman won't you come back home

I tried to do what my daddy taught me
But i think he knew
Someday that i would find one woman like you
I never dreamed that it could feel so good, lord
That two could be one
I never knew about sweet love
So woman won't you come back home
Oh baby won't you come back home
