From the recording Thieves of Thunder
Lyrics
Sundown comin’ on a Friday night
All I wanna do is Rock n Roll
But the way I’ve been livin’ ain’t so forgivin’
And it’s wearing upon my soul
Life goes fast it’ll kick you in the ass
And leave you a runnin’ low
I’ve got the number so I make the call
Then I’m all ready to go, go, go!
I’m not advocating anything illegal
Or dangerous to society
It’s just one man’s opinion
But it’s always worked for me
I need a little Gasoline
For my Party Machine
Stone cold sober and it’s got me thinkin’
Buddy, there ain’t no way
To walk through a life that cuts like a knife
And gets bloodier every day
I think it’s high time to numb my mind
Give thinkin’ just a little rest
Call ‘em fair weather friends, but them’s the type of friends
That a guy like me likes best
Call it some kind of weakness if you want to
But your words don’t bother me
You can call it inner strength that you’ve found
I call it mediocrity
Chorus
Sunrise comin’ on a Saturday
I’m feelin’ wrung out again
But no matter what happens, toe keeps a tappin’
And I crank it on up to 10
You want me to settle down?
Best quit coming around, cause you ain’t no friend to me.
I thought I told you once before, baby
Sleep is my mortal enemy
Just in case you didn’t understand me
Well I’ll inform you of the facts
While you’re fixin’ up your life the way you want it
I’m fixin for a heart attack
Chorus
