All Night Long

Cockburn Bruce
73 Night Vision
Mama Just Wants To Barrelhouse All Night Long (4: 1
i was up the road on easy street
watching everybody stand around and cheat
a man comes up and says «move along
down to the corner where you belong»
but mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
i hear the city singing like a siren choir
some fool tried to set this town on fire
tv preacher screams «come on along»
i feel like fay wray face to face with king kong
but mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
sometimes i wonder what i am
i feel like i’m living in a hologram
it doesn’t seem to matter what’s right or wrong
everybody’s grabbing and coming on strong
but mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long
