ACDC Lyrics
BACK IN BLACK
Back in black I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose from the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky 'cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm back, yes, I'm back.
Well, I'm back, yes, I'm back
Well, I'm back, back. Well I'm back in black
Yes, I'm back in black
Back in the back of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang with a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now. I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
CHORUS
Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back
Well, I'm back, back
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black

BAD BOY BOOGIE
On the day I was born the rain fell down
There was trouble brewing in my home town
It was the seventh day, I was the seventh son
And it scared the hell out of everyone
They said stop, I said go
They said fast, I said slow
They said yes, I said no
I do the bad boy boogie
Being a bad boy ain't that bad
I've had me more dirty women than most men ever had
All you women come along with me
And I'll show you how good a bad boy can be
I said right and they said left
I said east and they said west
I said up and they said down
I do the bad boy boogie all over town
I wanna tell you no story, tell you no lie
I was born to love till the day I die
I just line them up and I knock them down
And they all came running when the word got round
(Just keep a running)
I said up, they said down
They said straight, I said round
They said lost, I said found
I said free and they said bound
Bad boy boogie
CARRY ME HOME
The bartender's working on a late night shift
She's bonka blonds and Bon aims on a midnight drift
And the dance band's playing the same old slam
I'm drinking whiskey and you're sipping fine wine
I don't know what it is you're trying to prove
Well it should be you but it's me who can hardly move
And I've got my reputation lying on the line
Come on baby, be a good dog and help the blind
Won't you carry me home
(Like a truck, pick me up)
You ain't no lady but you've sure got taste in men
That head of yours has got you by time and time again
My arms and legs are aching and my head's about to blow
And your back's been breakin' and I'd hate to spoil the show
But I've just spent next weeks wages and I'm right out of coin
But you want more and it's half past four and they want to close the joint
But we can't afford a taxi, and it's too late for the bus
But I've been told by friends of mine you're someone I can trust
Carry me home
Won't you carry me home
Carry me home
(Don't let me lie here in all this beer)
You drank all your booze and half of mine
I'm bleary eyed and you're waiting for the sunshine (to come and kill me)
Just like the man who threw me on the floor
Don't matter, while I'm down here I might as well try and find the f***ing door
Excuse me, have you seen it? It's about this big
And have you got a plastic bag 'cause I'm gonna be sick
I'm dead drunk and heave'n hanging upside down
And you're getting up and leaving, you think I'm gonna drown
Carry me home
Won't you carry me home (can you help)
Carry me home
HAVE A DRINK ON ME
Whiskey, gin and brandy, with a glass I'm pretty handy
I'm trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine
So join me for a drink boys. We're gonna make a big noise
So don't worry about tomorrow. Take it today
Forget about the cheque. We'll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me, Have a drink on me
Yeah
Have a drink on me, Have a drink on me
On me
Come on
Dizzy, drunk and fightin' on tequila white lightnin'
My glass is getting shorter on whiskey, ice and water
So come on and have a good time and get blinded out of your mind
Don't worry about tomorrow, take it today
Forget about the cheque, we'll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me. Have a drink on me
yeah
Have a drink on me. Have a drink on me
On me
Have a drink on me. Have a drink on me
Yeah
Have a drink on me
Come on
Gonna roll around, gonna double down
Gonna hit the ground.
Take another swig. Have another drink.
Gonna drink it dry
Gonna get me high. Come on all the boys
make a noise
Have a drink on me. Have a drink on me
Have a drink on me. Have a drink on me
ROCK & ROLL SINGER
My Daddy was workin' nine to five when my Momma was havin' me
By the time I was half alive I knew what I was gonna be
I left school and grew my hair. They didn't understand
They wanted me to be respected as a doctor or a lawyer man
(But I had other plans)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll,
A rock 'n' roll star
Well I worked real hard and bought myself a rock 'n' roll guitar
I gotta be on top some day. I wanna be a star
I can see my name in lights and I can see the queue
I got the devil in my blood tellin' me what to do
(And I'm all ears)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll,
a rock 'n' roll star
(I hear it pays well)
Well you can stick your nine to five livin' and your collar and your tie
And stick your moral standards 'cause it's all a dirty lie
You can stick your golden handshake and you can stick your silly rules
And all the other shit that they teach to kids in school
('cause I ain't no fool)
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll,
A rock 'n' roll star.
Yes I are!
ROCK YOUR HEART OUT
Got the devil in you, Got the devil in me
Play a dangerous tune, Come on and dance with thee
You got to throw your fists up, Shout your mouth out
Beat the walls down. Got to freak out
Rock your little
Rock your little
Rock your little heart out
Got everything you want. Got everything you need
Don't worry about the cost. Just sell your soul to me
You gotta bring the house down. Beat the drums loud
Bleed your life dry. Climb on lets fly
Rock your little
Rock your little
Rock your little heart out
Rock, rock your little heart out
You gotta put your foot down
Beat your chest hard
Blow your brains out
Feel her shout loud
You gotta rock your heart out
Rock your heart out
Rock your heart out
Rock your heart out
Rock, rock your little heart out
Rock, rock your little heart out
THE JACK
She gave me the Queen. She gave me the King
She was wheelin' and dealin' just doin' her thing
She was holdin' a pair but I had to try
Her Deuce was wild but my Ace was high
But how was I to know that she'd been dealt with before
Said she'd never had a Full House but I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg and the garter on her right
She'd have the card to bring me down if she played it right
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
Poker face was her name. Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game. If she knew she could get you
She play'd 'em fast and she play'd 'em hard
She could close her eyes and feel every card
But how was I to know that she'd been shuffled before
Said she'd never had a Royal Flush but I should have known
That all the cards were comin' from the bottom of the pack
And if I'd known what she was dealin' out I'd have dealt it back
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack
She's got the Jack, And who knows what else?
She's got the Jack, yeah, yeah
She's got the Jack
YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG
She was a fast machine. She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen.
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -
CHORUS:
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long
Working double time on the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
She wanted no applause, just another course
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down, to take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -
CHORUS
Shook me all night long
You had me shakin' and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
Well you took me
You reall took me and you
Shook me all night long
Ooooh you
Shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you
Shook me all night long
