When I was Born I always knew
I had the winning boys magic and the Mojo Hand
Lightning veins with Electric Blood
BBQ DNA, Born to Raise Hell!
Steamrollin’ forward non-stop…..
I’m DRIVEN! I got the pedal to the Metal
WHO ARE YOU TO TRY AND STOP ME?!
Now here me say, I’m GOING FOR THE GUSTO!
(Whoooooa ooooooh whoooaaaa) I’m GOING FOR THE GUSTO!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK YOU ALL!!!!
I’m GOING FOR THE GUSTO!
The crossroads are where I met the Man,
The one they call "Satan" and his Hellbilly Band,
He said “Johnny Rustle” where’d ya learn to play that slide?
I said, “BITCH! my name is Johnson, and I'm taking what's mine!"
Like a stick of Dyna ready to explode!
I’m BURNING! And I got nuthin to lose
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO DENY ME?!
I'm here to stay, I’m GOING FOR THE GUSTO!
GTR SOLO:
“ELECTRIFRY!”
Go Johnny Go! Go Johnny Go! Go Johnny Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go Johnny Go! Go Johnny Go! Go Johnny Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!
DRIVEN! BURNING! LIVIN’ to WIN,
I AM THE RULER OF MY DESTINY
Let it be Known….. I’m GOING FOR THE GUSTO!

Everybody's trying to say I'm wrong
I just wanna be back where I belong
World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down
Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right?
I need somebody to help me through the night
World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down
Maybe I'm wrong but who's to say what's right
I need somebody to help me through the night
World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down
Will I move to the right? or will I move to the left?
Will I take a step back? or make a move up ahead?
At the Crossroads I stand, don't know which path I should chose,
33 is calling', ain't got nuthin' to lose!
World turning
I gotta get my feet back on the ground
World turning
Everybody's got me down
World Turning
World Turning
World Turning
WORLD TURNING!

Made My Bones

A long time ago….
I signed my life away to “this thing” I call my own
(the) path I chose, (the) dues I’ve paid,
I’ve given everything, how much more can 1 Man take?
MOTHER!...... why can’t you HEAR me?
I’ve spilt my blood, day by day, to Make Ends Meet
And still I struggle hard, Everyday, to Believe
I’ve paid my Dues, done my time, MADE MY BONES
well, I’ve been down before….
Dug myself out from the Grave, and brushed the dirt off of my face
It never rains, unless it pours
Can’t seem to catch a break, I’m callous from rejections
FATHER!...... why can’t you SEE me?
I’ve spilt my blood, day by day, to Make Ends Meet
And still I’m Pushing hard, Everyday, to Believe
I’ve paid my dues, MADE MY BONES
I’ve spilt my blood
(I’ve paid my dues, and I’ve done my time)
And still I struggle hard
(I sacrificed and risked it all, and I've proven that I do belong)
I’ve paid my Dues, and MADE MY BONES
I MADE MY BONES

Watch City Blues

Sitting at Home, all alone, (I’m) all dressed up, with nowhere to go
Watching the clock, ticking on by….
I’m sick of this place, just wasting my time
Losing my mind, Selling my soul, I can’t shake this feelin’ no more
Nobody knows just how I feel, I waiting for… something to change
I’m watching the time go by in Watch City, hellhounds on my trail
(and they’re barking louder) They’re chasin' me down, shakin' me down, breakin' me down, takin' me down… them Watch City Blues
The sun goes down, another day gone,
another dollar short, with nuthin' to show
wondering where the Hell I’m going…
I can’t seem to find my way
My eyes going blind, My hearts turning cold,
I can’t take this place no’ more
I gotta get out, before its too late, I gotta break free, and make a change
I’m watching the time go by in Watch City, Hellhounds on my trail…..
They’re Kickin' me down, bringin' me down, cuttin' me down, crushin' me down… them Watch City Blues
GTR SOLO:
(No Love, No $$$, No Friends, No Family, No respect, No Future….)
I ain’t living my life here, I ain’t livin alone
I’m packing my bags, and I'm moving out, and I ain’t ever coming home
I’m gonna LIVE FREE OR DIE (trying)
Searching to find some peace of mind, a new place where I belong
Southbound, Westbound, Northbound, Eastbound,
ANYWHERE BUT WALTHAM
They won’t be holdin' me down, draggin' me down, pushin' me down, pullin' me down…. ANYMORE.
I’m closing the door on these Watch City Blues,
ya’s done me wrong for the last time.
NO TURNING BACK.

Well I’ve been treated so unkind, gonna catch my train tonight
I’ve got to get my road insight, and set the rest aside
I’ve got to keep on moving on…… and let this feelin’ be gone
Movin' on!…..
Well I’ve been searching all around, been seeking higher ground
The Road that can be steep alone, is the path I chose to go
I’ve got to keep on moving on…… and let this feelin’ be gone
Let it go!
THE ROAD THAT LIES AHEAD
Gone before my own 2 eyes, I’m moving mountains aside
On throughout the darkest times, onto the end was light
Ain’t nuthin that stops me now, I’ve let this feelin’ be gone
I’ve got to follow "The Road That Lies Ahead" of ME!
