I’m a restless, restless cat
Got a hole in my left shoe
And a brand new hat
Gimme a little kiss, I like it like that
I’m a restless, restless cat
I wake up way before my alarm clock rings
Never go to sleep until the birdies sing
Have a one-way ticket on a train to St. Lou
One to California and one to Baton Rouge
chorus
I’m a restless, restless cat
Got a hole in my left shoe
And a brand new hat
Gimme a little kiss, I like it like that
I’m a restless, restless cat
Well you won’t see me standing at the end of any line
Patience is a virtue but not one of mine
People to do, places to see
Whole world’s wide open to a guy like me
chorus
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy as most other guys
Thy daily bread thy will be done
I’m on the lookout for action
Baby I’m lookin’ for fuuun
chorus
The promoter took the cash box and split for Vegas
Left the band with nothing but pack it up and go
This motel room we’re crowding ain’t the greatest
But it’s better than sleeping by the side of the road
At a truck stop where the neon signs are burning
All the stars up in the sky they tumble down
We’ve been here before but we’ll soon be returning
Another honkeytonk in another lonesome town
All that highway, all that American night
Technicolor sunset turns to black and white
The wheels keep rolling ‘til the city’s out of sight
All that highway, all that American night
There’s a jukebox with a memory in the corner
Every time the needle drops I get a thrill
Might be living on hard times and hand-me-downs
Fats Domino’s still up on Blueberry Hill
All that highway, all that American night
Technicolor sunset turn to black and white
The wheels keep rolling until the city’s out of sight
All that highway, all that American night
Oh oh I just can’t get into the swing of things
I’m a bum walking 'round the world of queens and kings.
Though I try with all my might nothing works out right
I just can’t get into the swing of things.
I’m always one step ahead or one step behind
When everybody’s certain then I change my mind.
If they’re driving on the left you know where I’ll be found
On the right side of the road on the wrong part of town.
If polka dots are in, well, then it’s stripes for me
And if they’re reading romance I’ve got a mystery.
Well if everybody checks you out when you pass by
They smile and say hello but I break down and cry.
Well I’m ridin’ around with Amarillo Shorty
Still out here searchin’ for the real Top 40
Lookin’ for a sign or any kind of clue
Doin’ the jerk and the shing-a-ling too
Well a cat with a hat said “Never fear
the Wild One’s coming in loud and clear”
Hellkitten, Texas Hellkitten
Hellkitten, Texas Hellkitten
Hellkitten, Texas Hellkitten
Hellkitten, Texas Hellkitten
I ain’t ashamed, I’m admittin’
gotta listen to Texas Hellkitten
It’s a squeeze, tight fittin’
When I rock it with Texas Hellkitten
Ahooooooo
When the beat gets to rockin’
And the rhythm kicks in
Rrrrrrrrrreet petite
Sweet as homemade sin
Out on the dance floor
Middle of the crowd
Movin’ and a groovin’
With the music up loud
Well, a stranger who just rolled into town
Says, “She’s the queen with the crown of sound”
Hellkitten, Texas Hellkitten x 4
So hot you you need mittens
When I rock it with Texas Hellkitten
It ain't a job I ain't quitting
Gotta listen to Texas Hellkitten
It's a squeeze, tight fitting
Gotta listen to Texas Hellkitten
Ahooooooo
One cup of coffee
An empty chair
The one that used to be sittin' there
Call my name and ease my care
I know how it feels to be lonely
A place to go
And a job to do
Fall apart when day is through
Happiness I wish I knew
I know how it feels to be lonely
I know how it feels to be lonely
I know how it feels to be blue
The whistle of a westbound train
In a night of falling rain
Some go on
And some remain
I know how it feels to be lonely
Angry words and a troubled mind
Haunt my dreams and make me blind
The many wonders how they shine
I know how it feels to be lonely
Yes I know I know how it feels
To be lonely
I know how it feels to be blue
I know how it feels to be blue
I'm surprised that you're still by my side
Because I've failed at almost everything I've tried
When the look on your face says you no longer care
Then the sadness gets too strong for me to bear
Oh woe woe woe
The sadness gets too strong for me to bear
It's not wrong for you to wonder why you're here
As you wait for things to change year after year
There are some secrets nobody want to share
Like when the sadness gets too strong for me to bear
Oh woe woe woe
The sadness gets too strong for me to bear
When the sadness gets too strong for me to bear
There's a place I used to go but I know no comfort there
I try to keep my head up, sometimes I get scared
Like when the sadness gets too strong for me to bear
Oh woe woe woe
The sadness gets too strong for me to bear
In a heartbeat I might lose all I hold dear
Like a shadow, shine a light and I disappear
There is a song that still lingers in the air
That sounds like the sadness that's too strong for me to bear
Oh woe woe woe
The sadness gets too strong for me to bear
Ahooooooo
