Welcome to the jungle
We got fun and games
We got everything you want
Honey, we know the names

We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your, sha-na-na-na-na-na-na, knees, knees
Ooh, I, I wanna watch you bleed

-Guns-n-Roses
 
Alas I'm brooding alone by the runnel
While she's in Capri with her swain
And the light at the end of the the tunnel
Is the light of an oncoming train
 
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideons bible
Open at page one
I thank God he stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down

No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down...
 
Still the girl he had
Left behind
Keeps his memory strong
For she hopes in vain
For her love's return
Now 16 candles gone
 
I've been drivin' all night
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin'
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar Love
 
You won't hear me, But you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen.
Then within your senses,
You'll know you're defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run for cover
Your cant retreat I spy like no other.

Then we race together. We can ride forever
Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

We hold each other closer, as we shift to overdrive
And eveyrthing goes rushing by, with every nerve alive
We move so fast it seems as though we've taken to the sky
Love machines in harmony, we hear the engines cry.

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

On and on we're charging to the place so many seek
In perfect synchronicity of which so many speak
We feel so close to heaven in this roaring heavy load
And then in sheer abandonment, we shatter and explode.

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover
 
Nobody gonna take my car,
I'm gonna race it to the ground
And nobody gonna beat my car,
It's gonna break the speed of sound

Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power,
Big fat tires and everything

I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight,
I'm a highway star
 
A hundred cups of coffee,
five hundred cigarettes
A thousand miles of highway
and I ain't forgot her yet
But I keep on moving,
I keep moving down the line
There ain't nothing in my mirror,
just a cloud of dust and smoke
But what do you expect when
some old trucker's heart gets broke
Yeah, trucker's hearts gets broke.

But them big wheels of rubber
are gonna rub her off my mind
I'm a highway junkie,
I need that old white line.
 
I've been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads
So I wouldn't get weighed

And if you give me weed, whites, and wine
And you show me a sign I'll be willin'... to be movin'
 
Well, I pulled outta Pittsburgh, rollin' down the eastern seaboard
I've got my Diesel wound up, and she's runnin' like never before
There's a speed zone ahead, but all right, I don't see a cop in sight
Six days on the road and I'ma gonna make it home tonight.

I got ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm passin' little white lines and my eyes are open wide
Just passed a Jimmy and a White, I've been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'ma gonna make it home tonight.

Well, it seems like a month since I kissed my baby goodbye
I could have a lotta women, but I'm not like some of the guys
I could find one to hold me tight, but I could never make believe it's right
Six days on the road and I'ma gonna make it home tonight.
 
“Oh, he’s leavin’
(Leavin’)
On that midnight train to Georgia, yeah
(Leavin’ on that midnight train)

Said, he’s goin’ back
(Goin’ back to find)
To a simpler place in time”
 
My mama done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, whooee!
My mama done told me
A-whooee-ah-whooee
Ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back
The blues in the night.
 
Loved you from the first time that I saw you
In the kitchen with your hair under a baseball cap
Couldn't find the words to say one single thing
Oh, I never knew someone could make me fall like that

Now I can't picture my life
Without you by my side
Can't let you go
I'll never let you go

Someday, when I die
And I close both my eyes
You should know that I'm coming back to haunt you
Someday, when I go
And I turn into a ghost
You should know that I'm coming back to haunt you
'Cause I don't want nobody else to have you
 
You didn't have to squeeze me, but you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you.
You didn't have to hold me, but you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you.
Every day was something new
You put on your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you.
 
I guess I should've closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
'Cause I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not, I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
