LYRICS FOR "Once Bitten, Twice Shy [*]"
Well
I'm a-hummin' and a-strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
Until you met my drummer on a gray tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh so cold
You're lookin' tired
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Half-way home in the parking lot
By the look in her eye
My my my
My my my
My my my
Woman you're a mess gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home
My best friend told me
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet I said
I said
My my my
My my my
I didn't know you had a rock 'n' roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now
My my my
My my my
My my my
My my my
