First light in Mendoza,
I felt a little closer,
When I called you on a telephone card,
I was danced off my feet,
I had nowhere to sleep,
The pisco had left me off guard.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.

I was lost with the lingo,
Well, call me a gringo,
Sin encanto por señoritas,
The quiet of dawn,
Had me feeling forlorn,
Somewhere they were playing guitars.

And the tears fell like rain,
Rolling across the plain,
Wind calling your name,
In the Plaza Independencia,
At the sunrise you were there,
In the breeze I swear,
I could see your hair,
Floating across the square.

I was a rock but I've come so far,From tumbling between the infinite stars,But oh oh, but no more.
Yeah 'cause time tore the flesh away from the bone,I was a rock but now I'm a stone,But I know there’s more.
Yeah I'm made from the mud,I came from the clay,The centuries silently sliding away.
Yeah I was a rock but I've come so far,From tumbling between the infinite stars.
La, la, oh,Yeah I'm made from the mud,I came from the clay,The centuries silently sliding away.
Yeah I was a rock but the dust I've become,Is just part of the great imperceptible hum,Yeah I, I'm no more.

Take my hand, c’mon hold on tight,And we'll be on our way.
Rising sun in the morning light,No longer will we lay.
Yeah because our love is alright,Yeah because our love,La, la, la.

Back up baby,I don't wanna burn you,I'm red hot and I can't cool down,Like a wildfire, flames getting higher,Oh honey this hot shot’ll not stop fooling around.
Your love is like a rough cut diamond,It’s all I want but not what I need,You're my ice cold, white gold lover,I don't want comfort when I got speed.
Here I come and when I'm done,Yeah there I go.
Life’s good,And it’s gonna get better,With a little less work and a lot more play,All I want is what you got,Yeah, a little bit of lovin goes a long way.
So back it up baby,I don't wanna burn you,But it feels so good yeah it feels alright,Gotta keep on keepin on till we're long gone,This hot shot‘ll rock and roll all night.
Here I come and when I'm done,Yeah there I go,Hmm, come find me out on the open road.
So back it up baby,I don't wanna burn you,I'm red hot and I can't cool down,Like a wildfire, flames getting higher,Oh honey this hot shot’s fooling around.

I've got one hand on the wheel,
The whole world is passing' by,I've got one hand on the wheel,Got a big blue sky,I've got one hand on the wheel,The sun is getting low,I've got one hand on the wheel,I'm gonna roll real slow.
Cos it’s a long, long road, we've got time,Yeah it’s a long, long road, so we’ve got time.

She can't stand the TV, yeah
('n) only wants to sing
Songs of her favourite band
She's waiting for the next gig
She needs to see the show
Just like a rose needs the rain

When the whole world is at play
They're all she wants to hear
To find her way back home

You, girl
Girl sittin' in the van
You're following the band
Rock'n'roll's your favourite game

She wanted it to be, yeah
Riding with the kings
Sometimes even touchin' hands
She's ready for the next gig
She won't change anything
and they will do it again


When the whole world is at play
They're all she wants to hear
To find her way back home

You, girl
Girl sittin' in the van
You're following the band
Rock'n'roll's your favourite game

Hey now, Alright, Hey hey now, C'mon,
Get to it.


Runnin' scared,Taken for a ride (hey now),So unprepared,Limit to your life (c'mon now, alright),
Fugitive, I need a place to hide (hey now),Ruining',
The soul that's left inside (alright, alright).
Done some deep dark things in my life,Town to town I don't care,Have to help myself try to fly right,need that breath of fresh air,And I boast the most on the daily,Talkin' sweet just to pay,Coast to coast never failing,Griftin' every day.
Yeah, I can take you for a ride,
On the dirty money highway,Can make it far and wide,Now it's time, To make my day.
Tell, Me, I ain't no smokin' gun,
Help, Me, I'm always on the run.
On the lam, And takin' my sweet time,Best to scram, No stoppin' on a dime.
I'm on the run.
Done some deep dark things in my life,Town to town I don't care,Have to help myself try to fly right,need that breath of fresh air,And I boast the most on the daily,Talkin' sweet just to pay,Coast to coast never failing,Griftin' until you.
