Rancid - Memphis lyrics

Album: Indestructible (2003)

"I have lived my whole life made mistakes
From the get-go
Street kid from the start right no regrets no
I do what I want yea cuz I said so
No sleep for the weak right No bet no
Rollin´ with the punk rockers
I aint lying
Fake guns fake bands
Fake punk I aint buying
Hit the road
All I know
Rock & roll aint dying about fifteen deep
We hit the streets low ridin

By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis
We were crazy
Tonight draw a blanket
And a pillow to keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm

He was back causing trouble
Time´s they are a comin´ round
Oh no, let me go to another round
Tuesday night is when the storm´s going to settle down
Had a glance circumstance
Don´t cause trouble bound
She has the one, all alone, I come lookin
Smoke & mirrors as I watch
Aw, that girl was trippin
It is no fun lost again
To have your heart broken
Greed is from a world that´s built on hustling

By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis
We were crazy
Tonight draw a blanket
and a pillow to keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm

The breaks were falling when they had failed
Every road can lead ya straight down to f*cking hell
Rain stopped falling when they had failed
Every road can take ya straight down to hell

Doing nothing here everyone straight trippin
Happy at times are gone past starts slippin
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin
Good every night in a different city I will be sleepin
Let me know here we go met a girl named Lola
Is she here Is she there Drinking Jack & cola,
She says, "Tim, where ya been? I got somethin to show ya"
Lola fired off her clothes & started rock & rollin!

By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis
We were crazy
Tonight draw a blanket
and a pillow keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm"
