One shot away:
Now tell me baby
Where do you wanna go?
Now tell me baby
Where do you wanna go?
Still sucking on a 40,
Yelling for a “five- one -o”
Going 24/7
Drinking, dope and smoke
Going 24/7
Drinking, dope and smoke
The make-believe of money
Out of means, always broke
You don’t write
You don’t call
Always one shot away
You don’t write
You don’t call
Always one shot away
Going for a hand to hand
No piper no play

I ain’t going down:
Well I ain’t going down
Won’t ride your street no more
Well I ain’t going down
Won’t ride your street no more
One too many mornings
Your cold wind blows
Blows me away from your shore
Well I don’t know why I love you
Better lock up my back door
Well I don’t know why I love you
Better lock up my back door
One too many mornings
Your cold wind blows me from your shore
You’re taking all my money
You drive a man insane
My heart turned cold
Sorrow and pain
I ain’t going down
One too many mornings
Your cold wind blows me from your shore
Well I ain’t going down
I ain’t going down
I ain’t going down
I ain’t going down
No baby
I ain’t, I ain’t going down

Old man rock ’n roll
Hey, hey, old man rock ‘n roll
Hey, hey, still ravaging my soul
What do you think, what do you see
A sad old man looking at me
Try to be smart, pretend to be wise
Uncertain looks faraway eyes
Coming off age, wings at your feet
Dreaming young lovers you wanna meet
Hey, hey, old man rock ‘n roll
Hey, hey, still ravaging my soul
Nothing is easy better check again
Reaching for a lover but you don’t know when
Responsibility should be your friend
Please stop acting like a poor old hand
Love is tough don’t believe otherwise
Trying to prove you’re still one of the guys
Remember the love remember the pain
You wanna love and live it over again
Hey, hey, old man rock ‘n roll
Hey, hey, still ravaging my soul
Hey, hey, old man rock ‘n roll
Hey, hey, still ravaging my soul

Yonder come the blues
Music: John the Revelator
Lyrics: Tom Huissen
Yonder come the blues
Draining all colours and wasting my brain
My doctor’s got no remedy
Hot shot yeah it’s a crying shame
It all started in the morning
I got a kind of sore throat
It got worse in the evening
Shaking I got off this load
Yonder come the blues
Draining all colours and wasting my brain
My doctor’s got no remedy
Hot shot yeah it’s a crying shame
Doctor said drinking is no good
It sneaks and kills you by degrees
It will upset and colour your liver
Low down aching disease
Yonder come the blues
Draining all colours and wasting my brain
My doctor’s got no remedy
Hot shot yeah it’s a crying shame
