Steven Tyler - We're All Somebody From Somewhere Album Lyrics

---

My Own Worst Enemy

I could blame Jesus, I could blame momma
I could blame Brahma for all the bull that's in my head
I could blame Seagram's for all the whiskey
And for the tipsy that's still here on my breath
And ain't that why you left

I'm all alone, tongue tied, and twisted
Since I said it ain't you, it's me
And girl you cried, but I insisted
That what could be would never be
But I was wrong, what's wrong with me
I'm my own worst enemy

I blame midnight for bad decisions
And blurry vision for what I didn't see
I could blame forever even though I didn't get it
I could blame the love even though I up and left it
I could blame goodbye even though I said it
And maybe that's just me
That's why you had to leave

I'm all alone, tongue tied, and twisted
Since I said it ain't you, it's me
And girl you cried, but I insisted
That what could be would never be
But I was wrong, what's wrong with me
I'm my own worst enemy

I'm all alone, tongue tied, and twisted
Since I said it ain't you, it's me
And girl you cried, but I insisted
That what could be would never be
But I was wrong, what's wrong with me
Now you're gone and any fool can see
I'm my own worst enemy
My own worst enemy

We're All Somebody From Somewhere

Sweet Biloxi to New York City
From that fine red wine of the vine to cheap brown whiskey
Seattle coffey, Memphis blues
Chi-Town wind, Miami cruise
There's a thousand stories between me and you

Give me some love!

We're all somebody from somewhere
Some mama, some daddy
Some love in the air
Some big, some little
Some left, some in the middle
Some white, yellow, black or red

Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere
(Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere)
We're all somebody from somewhere
(Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere)
Yeah!

Hollywood to New Orleans
Filet mignon to black eyed peas

And cornbread damn I love that stuff...

We're all somebody from somewhere
Some mama, some daddy
Some love in the air
Some big, some little
Some left, some in the middle
Some white, yellow, black or red

Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere
(Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere)
We're all somebody from somewhere
(Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere)

Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere
Some mama, some daddy
Some love in the air
Some big, some little
Some left, some in the middle
Some white, yellow, black or red

We're all somebody from somewhere
Some mama, some daddy
Some love in the air
Some big, some little
Some left, some in the middle
Some white, yellow, black or red

Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere
(Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere)
We're all somebody from somewhere
(Yeah, we're all somebody from somewhere)

Give me some love!

Hold On (Won't Let Go)

In the dust
Catch my footprints
Summer heat
Love that nuisance
Got my belt
Rope around my shoulder
In my mind
I'm a loner

So I'm a hold on
And I won't let go
I'm a hold on
And I won't let go
No sir

On my back
Feel you riding
I'm pissed off
No denying
I'm gonna rock
I'm gonna roll you
Better get up
When I throw you

So I'm a hold on
And I won't let go
No I won't let go
And I'm a hold on
And I won't let go
No I won't let go

I said
I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I won't let go
No I won't let go
And I said I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I won't let go
No I won't let go
No I won't let go
No I won't let go
No I won't let go
No I won't let go
No I won't let go

It Ain't Easy

It's a lonely street I walk
And my soul is all warned off
Here comes the fear
When you're out here on your own
And everything you loved is gone
Oh no, not me, not meant to be

It ain't easy
When you're out there searchin'
Tryin' to find the one
Yeah it ain't easy
Lookin' for the hand that holds the smokin' gun
It's like tryin' to squeeze a drop of rain
Out of the sun, ooh

Even if I could let go
Of this high wire circus show
I'm at fault, all the way
Yeah, you're still gonna hear me say

It ain't easy
When you're out there searchin'
Tryin' to find the one
Yeah it ain't easy
Lookin' for the hand that holds the smokin' gun
It's like tryin' to squeeze a drop of rain
Out of the sun, ooh

I hear everybody sayin' that it's true
When you stop lookin' for it, it finds you
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy

It ain't easy
When you're out there searchin'
Tryin' to find the one
Yeah, it ain't easy
Lookin' for the hand that holds the smokin' gun
It's like tryin' to squeeze a drop of rain
Out of the sun
It ain't easy
I could say it is but when it's said and done
It ain't easy for no one

Love Is Your Name

Send your kisses my way
Bring your sweet heart to me
I've been waiting for so long

Tell me all your stories
Leave some open for me
Write your name into this song

I'll walk through the fire
I'll run through the rain
I'll wait for forever
If Love is your name
Your name

Catch a wind from heaven
Sail down while I'm sleeping
Wake me with the morning sun
Oh, oh- oh
I'll dream of you until you come

I'll walk through the fire
I'll run through the rain
I'll Wait for forever
If Love is your name

Valentines keep knocking
My heart keeps on walking
Darling I'll hold on for you
For You, for you

I'll walk through the fire
I'll run through the rain
I'll wait for forever
If Love is your name

If love is your name
If love is your name

I Make My Own Sunshine

Everything is wonderful
Everything is great
And I'm as free as a bird outside my window pane
I got a fresh new start
It's a brand new day
And I got lots of love to give away

It don't matter if it's raining
Nothing can phase me
I make my own sunshine
And if you think you can break me
Baby you're crazy
I make my own sunshine
I make my own sunshine

I say hey, let's make a rainbow
Look for a pot of gold
I'll show you how to keep it nice and easy
And even if a cloud comes forming on my love today
There's nothing, no nothing, that could stand in my way

It don't matter if it's raining
Nothing can phase me
I make my own sunshine
And if you think you can break me
Baby you're crazy
I make my own sunshine
I make my own sunshine

It don't matter if it's raining
Nothing can phase me
I make my own sunshine
And if you think you can break me
Baby you're crazy
I make my own sunshine

It don't matter if it's raining
Nothing can phase me
I make my own sunshine
And if you think you can break me
Then baby you're crazy
I make my own sunshine

Gypsy Girl

I remember the leaves were gone
And burning embers make for the sweetest songs
Yeah I can see the two of us living on dreams and dust
Loving you was so unreal that I remember

[Chorus:]
She was just a gypsy girl
I was just a chance I wish she'd take
Got into a lonely world, trying to belong
Love is like a string of pearls
While I was waiting for the strand to break
From a thousand miles away
Somehow we made it home
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

Wayward travelers' stars get crossed
Find out only after we were never lost
I can see the two of us living on dreams and dust
Loving you was so unreal that I remember

[Chorus]

Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
From just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
From just a thousand miles away

[Chorus]

Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Just a thousand miles away
Just a thousand miles away

Somebody New

Hey honey, take a look at this face
I've been fakin' this smile all day
Keepin' up with this masquerade
Like a wind me up, a one-man parade
Can't you see I'm a different man
No lie honey, I ain't no sham
Lookin' right here you can see first hand
It's the same old me with the same old plan
I don't, don't know if you can see it, baby
If you heard about me lately

I'm somebody new, I'm somebody who
Doesn't laugh the way I did, I did with you now, honey
I'm a playin' me a one more song
I'm an all night rollin' stone
I'm the life of the party 'cause I don't wanna go home
With somebody new

Remember how I used to be that guy
Fall for 'em when they'd bat their eyes
Grass was greener on the other side
Sweeter honey when it wasn't mine
That's long, long gone
Oh, can't you see it baby
Have you heard about me lately

I'm somebody new, I'm somebody who
Doesn't laugh the way I did, I did with you now, honey
I'm a playin' me a one more song
I'm an all night rollin' stone
I'm the life of the party 'cause I don't wanna go home
With somebody new

Oh, oh

I'm somebody new, I'm somebody who
Doesn't laugh the way I did, I did with you now, honey
I'm a playin' me a one more song
I'm an all night rollin' stone
I'm the life of the party 'cause I don't wanna go home
With somebody new

With somebody new
With somebody new
Nobody but you, ooh
I'm somebody new

Only Heaven

You're more than a miracle
An answer to a prayer

You heal the broken heart
In need of much repair

Only heaven could've laid you in my arms
Only heaven could've brought us where we are
Girl, it's heaven when I'm lying in your bed
Cause nothing compares to the taste of your lips
Only heaven could ever feel like this
Only heaven

I was down the dusty road
The end nowhere in sight

And I've been dying in the dark
Now I'm living in your light
And you know it feels so right

Only heaven could've laid you in my arms
Only heaven could've brought us where we are
Girl, it's heaven when I'm lying in your bed
Cause nothing compares to the taste of your lips
Only heaven could ever feel like this
Only heaven

Yeah, it ain't nothing but a good thing baby
And there ain't no wonderin' why

Only heaven could've laid you in my arms
Only heaven could've brought us where we are
Girl, it's heaven when I'm lying in your bed
Cause nothing compares to the taste of your lips
Only heaven could ever feel like this
Only heaven
Only heaven
Yeah.. yeah! Only heaven
Only heaven

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly & Me

Yeah, you wanna know me better
What'd you think I was in it for
I ain't the kind of guy just wanna walk you to your door

I squeeze some Georgia peaches
But I know you got the juice
When the devil greets us, girl what's your excuse

You say left and I say right
You say go to bed, I'm stayin' up all night
Yeah, straight jack, straight black
In fact, you're gonna get what you see
The good, the bad, the ugly and me

I come and get, get, get, it baby
For me and the whiskey's gone
You ain't no Tina Turner, get your Nutbush City on

Yeah, you say left, I say right
You say go to bed and I stay up all night
Straight jack, straight black
In fact, you're gonna get what you see
The good, the bad, the ugly and me

There ain't no need to sugar coat it
Take the bitter with the sweet
While you're preachin' to the choir
I'll be dancin' in the street, street, street, street

I say left, you say right
You say go to bed and I stay up all night
Straight jack, straight black
In fact, you're gonna get what you see
Straight jack, straight black
In fact, you're gonna get all three
The good, the bad, the ugly and me

Red White And You

I ran out, nothing else matters, You and me and the Georgia night,
Look around 'cause it don't get any better, Have you ever felt so alright?
Let's dance, take it slow, Tom Petty on the radio
When we're singing about American Girls like you
When I look in your eyes, all I wanna do is...

Bang bang baby like the 4th of July, A Lightning strike in the midnight sky
Don't give a damn about the summertime blues, All I need is red white and you
Can't let those colors fade, tell me you're gonna stay
American girls making dreams come true
All I need is red white and

You pulling me a little bit closer, Heart beating like a big bass drum
We spinning' on a roller coaster, A "Free Fallin'" into your yum yum
All the bad girls rockin' those cut off jeans, and good old boys driving Big Machines
And you can kiss my ass, can't help but say, it's good to be "Born in the USA"

Bang bang baby like the 4th of July, A Lightning strike in the midnight sky
Don't give a damn about the summertime blues, All I need is red white and you
Can't let those colors fade, tell me you're gonna stay
American girls making dreams come true
All I need is red, white and you

Baby, sweet potato pie
All I need is red, white and
Baby, what we gonna do
And honey, don't give a damn about the summertime blues
All I need is

Bang bang baby like the 4th of July, A Lightning strike in the midnight sky
Don't give a damn about the summertime blues, All I need is red white and you
Can't let those colors fade, tell me you're gonna stay
American girls making dreams come true
All I need is red white and you

Baby
Baby
All I need is red white and
You
Don't give a damn about the summer time blues
All I need is red white and you.

Sweet Louisiana

Where'd you get that voodoo, you ain't from the Bayou
Where'd you learn to move like that
Go ahead and try me, and bring your poison ivy
Snakin' in the tall green grass
Why'd your mama name you Sweet Louisiana
'Cause you could be the devil's child
Glory hallelujah, love the way you do ya
It's never goin' out of style

Well, it must be so cool to be you
Makin' me a fool, yeah, like you do
You're like honey to the bees
Baby, won't you please
Sting me with a tease or two
Sweet Louisiana

Yeah, you're burnin' like a fire, sparkin' like a lighter
Sugar with a side of sass
Down and nitty gritty, like you own the city
Honey, how you so badass

Well, it must be so cool to be you
Makin' me a fool, yeah, like you do
You're like honey to the bees
Baby, won't you please
Sting me with a tease or two
Sweet Louisiana

Sweet Louisiana

Well, it must be so cool to be you
Makin' me a fool, so cruel
You're like honey to the bees
Baby, won't you please
Sting me with a tease or two
Sweet Louisiana
Sweet Louisiana
Sweet Louisiana

What Am I Doin' Right?

I'm rotten to the core
What you hangin' with me for
You're worth the wait, like the desert rain
I light up when you say my name
It's time to change the road I'm on
I've lost at love for so damn long

Tell me what it is I'm doin' right
'Cause I don't wanna mess this up tonight
It's like I can't do anything wrong
I ain't even tryin' and she just turned down the light
What am I doin' right

What am I doin' right

Waitin' on the other shoe to drop
I'm thinkin' that I'm thinkin' this is somethin' that it's not
You're what's true was the words in red
You're the promise Momma said
Like a prayer nailed to a door
I guess I never prayed before

Tell me what it is I'm doin' right
'Cause I don't wanna mess this up tonight
It's like I can't do anything wrong
I ain't even tryin' and she just turned down the light
What am I doin' right

What am I, what am I doin' right

Kiss me now while we're still young
Words rolled off my silver tongue, yeah

Tell me what it is I'm doin' right
'Cause I don't wanna mess this up tonight
It's like I can't do anything wrong
I ain't even tryin' and she just turned down the light
What am I doin' right

What am I doin' right
What am I, what am I doin' right
Ooh

Janie's Got A Gun

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do
What did he put you through

They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do

He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightnin' and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain

Run away, run away from the pain, ah
Run away, run away, run, run away

You better run away, run away from the pain, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away

Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Now everybody is on the run

Piece Of My Heart

Ooh, ah
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only one, yeah
Didn't I give you nearly everything
That a man possibly could
Honey, you know I did
And each time I tell myself that
Well, I think I had enough
I'm gonna show you, baby
How a man sure can be tough
I want you to

Come on, come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Oh, break it
Break another little bit of my heart
Now, baby, baby, baby
Oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

You know you got it
If it makes you feel good
Oh, yes indeed
Oh, yes indeed

Yeah, you're out on the streets lookin' good
And baby, deep down in your heart
I guess you know that it ain't right
Never, never, never hear me when I cry at night
Yeah, I cry all the time
But each time I tell myself that
Well, I can't stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms, baby
I'll sing it once again
Oh, won't you

Come on, come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Oh, break it
Break another little bit of my heart
Now, baby, baby, baby
Oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

You know you got it, child
If it makes you feel good, yeah

Break another little bit of my heart
