Verse 1 I woke up in the gutter with a gasoline grin Neon buzzing bible saying son confess your sin I traded every promise for a second-hand smoke Now the devil’s on my six string and the man’s about to croak Then Roland and Dobie said, Billy take a toke! Chorus You can take my rhymes, steal my song and my name, you see, I ain’t in this business for the glory and the fame cuz the tracks I lay down have purpose and a flame I never fight nor do I blame, you see, cuz when you’re a wizard all the misers just the same, give me, give me, give me ----- Lord it’s a shame! Billy Macs my name! Verse 2 Cop cars cherry blinking like a metronome full of fate But I ain’t stoppin’ I was born 3 weeks late I kicked the curb I cracked the sky, and I howled at the moon Now the city’s just a back drop for my over driven tune You can chain my legs you can dim my lights, but you can’t Stop the thunder when the thunder’s got the right Then Roland and Dobie said, Billy take a toke! Chorus You can take my rhymes, steal my song and my name, you see, I ain’t in this business for the glory and the fame cuz the tracks I lay down have purpose and a flame I never fight nor do I blame, you see, cuz when your a wizard all the misers just the same, give me, give me, give me ----- Lord it’s a shame! Billy Macs my name! Bridge I got thunder on the frets, lightning in my soul, fire in the t.v. She’s out of control bang the drums like a heart attack, scream the tune till’ it bleeds We’re raising hell on the highway with a thousand rpm’s and lots of speed Hey thunder on my frets, lightning in my soul Turn it up till’ the windows shatter or my life doesn’t matter Then Roland and Dobie said, Billy take a toke! Chorus You can take my rhymes, steal my song and my name, you see, I ain’t in this business for the glory and the fame cuz the tracks I lay down have purpose and a flame I never fight nor do I blame, you see, cuz when your a wizard all the misers just the same, give me, give me, give me ----- Lord it’s a shame! Billy Macs my name! Outro I ducked down a back street where the alley cats roam They were playing 9 – lives boogie with a switch blade and a comb So, I dropped a dime down the tail pipe now exhaust is beat boxing while the guitar does its thing, leaping lizards in the rear view, boy can they sing Thunder on my frets I’ve paid all my debts! Then Roland and Dobie said, Billy take a toke!
