Lyrics

I've lived my whole life, made mistakes
From the get-go
Street kid from the start, right, no regrets though
I do what I want, yeah, cuz I said so
No sleep for the wicked, right? no, bet no
Rollin' with the punk rockers
I ain't lying
Fake guns, fake bands
Fake punk, I ain't buying
Hit the road
All I know
Rock and roll ain't 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, you're our blanket
And you're gonna keep us warm
Tonight, protect us from the storm

Huge black clouds and troubled
Time's they're a comin' round
Oh lord, let me go through another round
Tuesday night is when the storm's gonna settle down
Had a glance, circumstance
Stone cold, trouble bound
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin'
Smoke and mirrors as I watch
Aw, that girl was trippin'
It's no fun, lost again
To have your heart broken
Greeings from a world that is 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, you're our blanket
And you're gonna keep us warm
Tonight, protect us from the storm

Embrace the falling when they have failed
Every road can lead ya straight down to fucking hell
Embrace the falling when they have failed
Now every road can take ya straight down to hell

Don't want nothing here, everyone straight trippin
Happier 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'll be sleepin
Let me know, here we go, met a girl named lola
Is she here? is she there? drinking jack and cola
She says, "tim, where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and 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, you're our blanket
And you're gonna keep us warm
Tonight, protect us from the storm
