If I had possession over judgement day
Girl, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t shy away
Tryna pretend you’re an angel in disguise
(‘Cause) I can see the lust in your devil eyes

Turn me on – Go wild on me
Let me be the one you keep from sanity
Rip me off – Play tricks on me
I don’t care ‘bout any false morality

Sex me up – Slow ride on me
Baby, take me out of my reality
Tie me down – Throw dirt on me
It’s a thin line ‘tween pride and vanity

Girl gone bad
Girl gone bad
Girl gone bad

Baby, put on your lovely angel face grin
We will make this phony world go down in sin
No, don’t you worry we ain’t doin’ no crime
(See) You and I will have just a mighty good time

Chorus

You’re my girl gone bad
And I’m all up on you
You’re my girl gone bad
I know you want it too

Chorus

Nicki’s got an old second hand shop
Times are rough, so her business is running hot
Round the corner comes Bob, stoned and broke
But Nicki she likes him cause he’s always quick with a joke

He says he’s dropping by for a short chat
She makes fun sayin’ he’s moving much too fast
Soon their flirting becomes true love too
And after closing time he’ll bring her home ‘cause that’s what gentlemen do

In front of her house in his ol’ Suzuki
He leans towards her and whispers:
“Baby, it’s all ‘bout you ‘n’ me“

“Oh, what the hell!”, people are yelling out
Bitching all around: „Those misfits got together”
The whole town’s wondering now “Are they kidding now?”
But Nicki and Bob, they know it better

Years are passing by and life’s full o’ trouble
He’s workin’ overtime, tryna overcome the struggle
She quit her shop, no need for trash
And everybody’s always known it, but Nicki didn’t mind the bash

He’s coming home with his ol’ Suzuki
She leans towards him and whispers:
“Baby, it’s all ‘bout you ‘n’ me“

Chorus

His Suzuki ain’t parkin’ in the driveway
And she cries after Bob every god-damn day
She misses his lovely smile and his jokes
From back then when they used to be much younger folks

“Oh, what the hell!”, she just cries out
“Bitching all around won’t make it better”
“No, I’m not kidding, I’m ready for leaving”
You know, Nicki and Bob, they belong together

Nicki and Bob will last forever
Nicki and Bob, doin’ so much better now

Bob died with a phone in his hand
While the radio played some Blackberry Smoke
It was dark, he was homebound
And didn’t see the last turn and the ol’ big oak

When firemen cut the man out of his wreck
They saw a smile on his bloody face
He was big, he was strong
A good feller to get along in this god-forsaken place

And it seems all the good folks are leaving to soon
Tonight, the wailing sirens will be in tune

Woohoo wooh – we salute to the ones who’re gone
Woohoo wooh – hear’s to all the folks we’ve known
Woohoo wooh – we will keep them in our songs
Woohoo wooh – sing along till the last hero’s gone

Bob worked hard but never skipped a drink
Lost and won many of them fights
Fell in love, struggled hard
In many nights he used to laugh out loud a mournful cry

It was said he just couldn’t get on
But no one could tell a good reason
Loved his wife, loved his cat
He was trying to forget ‘bout his love to his demons

And it seems all the good folks are leaving to soon
Tonight, the wailing sirens will be in tune

Chorus

And that night on the byway
When he looked at pictures of much better days
He knew his life would never be like it seems to be
On his old, cracked display…
So, Bob swiped them away!

And it seems all the good folks are leaving to soon
Tonight, the wailing sirens will be in tune

Chorus

There ain’t no Robin Hood
In the hood where I grew up
There wasn’t much difference
‘Tween the law and the mob
Four decades old tomorrow
Born and still dirt poor
Side by side, love and war
With my junkies and the whores

On the streets of Laredo
Lights don’t turn green for me
The crime and the poverty
Drove me to be mean
In the City Under Seven Flags
The rich, the poor, the good and bad
And those somewhere in between
The living and the dead
They all go down in Laredo

Nobody really cares ‘bout
All us on the border
If the bosses have their way
The poor will just get poorer
I rose up through the ranks
Till Coyotes trusted me
Good people might rise up
With a Robin Hood to lead

Chorus

Last chance to be a hero
Rob my bosses, I know how
Sell it back to them
Who’s    the bad guy now?

Chorus 

They all go down…
Cause there ain’t no Hero… of Laredo

Warrior Princess standing on the hill
No fear, no doubt, just calm and still
Gazing over land she conquered many times
Her shiny armor hides the scars from long forgotten crimes

Warrior Princess lead me through this field
Our dread and anger will be our shield
I trust you with my life and you can trust me too
We’re just two shattered soulmates who pretend to be so true

Warrior Princess, I just got a thought on my mind
You don’t need to pick up another fight
Just let me drown in your eyes
Let’s trade some good advice
On insecurity and destiny
On laughter and on tears
How to make all our fears disappear

Warrior Princess, we breathe in and out
We gotta find out what life’s about
Your joy and bravery seduce me to live
And even if we fail, we know we both can forgive

Chorus

Ain’t it good to be seen again
Ain’t it good to feel good again
At least… now and then – woah oh oh oh 

Chorus

I got my six-string, I got my worn out shoes
I got my suitcase packed and a – a bottle of blues
On lonely roads I walked a thousand miles
To find a place for me but failed in all my trials

Getting rid of my big load of stones
Tryna get used to some softer tones

Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Oh, let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones tonight 

I lost my faith, I lost my good ol’ friend
I lost my freedom, guess it all gotta end
I had some money, but I’ve spent it all
On women ‘n’ dope and one last call for alcohol

Getting rid of my big load of stones
Tryna get used to some softer tones

Chorus

Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Oh, let me rest my heavy bones
Oh oh oh – Let me rest my heavy bones 

Chorus

At a hooker’s house full of sins and crimes
A vagabond preacher telling sacred lies
Bout the good ol’ times we’ve all given up
But no one really listens, no one gives a fuck

He’s got a bible in his wounded hand
Spitting furious sermons ‘bout a promised land
Totin’ a rifle round his big right shoulder
While his shiny barrel still smolders

Preacher man got…
High on his Bible
High on his rifle
High on a god-led survival
High on findin’ another rival
High on his Bible and rifle
High on a god-led survival
High on findin’ another rival
High on his Bible and rifle 

Came the former jester, a small bold dreamer
Pushed back against the vagabond preacher
All hookers, pimps and johns pricked their ears
Took his words and bullets and shoved them in his rear

They shot the bible in his wounded hand
Laughing out his sermons ‘bout a promised land
They took the rifle from his big right shoulder
Quenched his barrel to stop its smolder

Chorus 

Chorus

Home ain’t no place for me
I gotta get up and ride
Moan ain’t no sound to me
Cause the devil’s by my side
I’ll keep on roaming ‘cross the town
I’ll keep on rollin’ ‘cause I’m hellward bound

Home ain’t no place for me
My baby ain’t treatin’ me right
Groan ain’t no good to me
Cause I know I’ll be up all night
I’m in my self-destruction mode
So, keep yourself out of my moonshine road

Till I lie naked on the floor
Just with my dirty boots on
Next to the shithouse
When all the booze’s gone

Now, I found me a home
Six feet under with no fear
No one knows my home
My baby ain’t wastin’ a tear
I used to be the man of town
But now I see hell dogs chasin’ me around

Home ain’t no place for me
But a feelin’ of feelin’ fee

We explored and exploited every piece of this land
All we left’s destruction in full expand
How many times did we close our eyes
Blaming all the rest, ignoring our own lies

Here we walk on wasteland
The proud sons and daughters
Running on gasoline
And overpriced water

We had it good, we wanted more
We meant it for our children, that’s for sure
We were too dumb to see what we’ve done
So, teach our children well
And they will tell the world’s fairytale  

At some point our old folks took the wrong turn
And we kept following that path with no concern
Now we’re standing lost and jaded at the abyss
Hoping for the day, we’ll get out of this crisis

Here we stand on wasteland
The proud sons and daughters
Running out of gasoline
And any kind of water 

Chorus

Chorus

And they will tell the world’s fairytale
And they will tell the world’s fairytale

With tears in my eyes I’m listening to your sweet laughter
While watching you fooling around on that old wooden playground
Oh honey, I’ll never gonna help you get up on that big swing again
And I’ll miss how you discover the world, jump, twist and dance around

I’ll keep our last mem’ry of us here
Your smile will help me overcome my fear, so…

Cheer me up cause I’m leaving
Cuddle up with me cause I am grieving
Laugh for me and excuse my weeping
Kiss me good night and I’ll be sleeping
Oh, cheer me up – oh, cheer me up
Oh, cheer me up – cause I’m leaving tonight

When that old rusty slide won’t give you no more thrills
Remember to walk through this world with your playground eyes
Oh honey, I’m sure you can tune so much hearts to sing with joy
I’m leaving without advice on how to change your lows to highs

But I’m sure you gonna make it anyway
Cause with that smile you even helped with my fear today

Cheer me up cause I’m leaving
Cuddle up with me cause I am grieving
Laugh for me and excuse my weeping
Kiss me good night and I’ll be sleeping

Cheer me up cause I’m leaving
Cuddle up with me cause I am grieving
Laugh for me and excuse my weeping
Kiss me good night and I’ll be sleeping
Oh, cheer me up – oh, cheer me up
Oh, cheer me up – cause I’m leaving… goodnight
