Running around like you´re front page news
Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots
Tattooed heart and your jet-black hair
Running ‘round like you don´t care

Take me down
Take me on down the line

Well, I was born, babe, with nothing to lose
But the black man taught me how to sing the blues
Made a little life outta rock ‘n´ roll
And that crazy California hustle and flow

Take me down
Take me on down the line
Shake me down
Shake me on down the line

I went too fast with that rhythm and booze
Almost ended up dead like all those other fools
Everyone´s got some sort of ball and chain
What´s life without a little pain?

Take me down
Take me on down the line
Shake me down
Shake me on down the line

Living in a Hollywood movie dream
And I´m still reaching for the stars
Life gets hard and then it gets good
Like I always knew it would

Running around like you´re front page news
Lonely eyes and your motorcycle boots
Tattooed heart and your jet-black hair
Running ‘round like you don´t care

Take me down
Take me on down the line
Shake me down
Shake me on down the line
