Once Bitten, Twice Shy

Lyrics

(Hunter)Well the times are gettin' hard
 For you little girl
 I'm a-hummin' and a-strummin'All over God's world
 You can't remember when
 You got your last meal
 And you don't know
 Just how a woman feels
 You didn't know what
 Rock-n-roll was
 Until you met my drummer
 On a grey tour bus
 I got there in the nick of time
 Before he got his hands
 Across your state line
 Now it's the middle of the night
 On the open road
 And the heater don't work
 And it's oh so cold
 You're lookin' tired
 You're lookin' kinda beat
 The rhythm of the street
 Sure knocks you off your feet
 You didn't know how rock-n-roll looked
 Until you caught your sister
 With the guys from the group
 Halfway home in the parking lot
 By the look in her eye
 She was giving what she got
 My, my, my
 Once bitten, twice shy babe
 My, my, my
 Once bitten, twice shy babe
 My, my, my
 Once bitten, twice shy babe
 Woman you're a mess
 Gonna die in your sleep
 There's blood on my amp
 And my Les Paul's beat
 Can't keep you home you're messin' around
 My best friend told me
 You're the best lick in town
 You didn't know that rock-n-roll burned
 So you bought a candle
 And you lived and you learned
 You got the rhythm
 You got the speed
 Mama's little baby
 Likes it short and sweet
 CHORUSI didn't know you had a rock-n-roll record
 Until I saw your picture
 On another guy's jacket
 You told me I was the only one
 But look at you now
 It's dark and you're gone
 My, my, my
 Once bitten, twice shy
