Once Bitten, Twice Shy

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 great tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah

Now, it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work, 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 looks
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 givin' what she got

I said, my, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

Woman, you're a mess, gonna die in the street
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, you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mama's little baby, Lord, she's sure, she's sweet

My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby

Alright

I didn't know you had a rock 'n' roll record
Until I saw your picture on some other 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
I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, babe
My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy, baby
My, my, my
I'm once bitten, twice shy
