Honey Hush
(4:19)
Lou W. Turner - Hill & Range Songs, Inc - BMI



Come on in this house, stop all that yakety-yak,
Come on in this house, stop all that yakety-yak,
Don't make me nervous, holdin' a baseball bat.

You keep on yappin', talkin' 'bout this 'n that,
Well you keep on yappin', talkin' 'bout this 'n that,
Got news for you baby, you're nothing but an alley cat.

Well it's hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver away, yeah... whoo!
Honey hush!

{Rod - Solo}

Turn out the water works baby, they don't move me no more,
Turn out the water works baby, they don't move me no more,
When I leave this town, ain't comin' back no more, no.

So it's hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver away, yea.

Well it's hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver,
Hi-yo, hi-yo silver away, yea.
I'm gone!

{Rod - Solo}

Yeah!
Turn out the water works baby!
They don't move me no more.
Honey hush,
Whoo!

{Dave scat}



Step Outside
(6:18)
Peverett / Price / Earl / Stevens - Knee Trembler Music, Inc - ASCAP



Got nowhere to go, you got nothin' to do,
Just killin' time, but it's killin' me too,
Too much sorrow and too many tears,
You've been lonely for too many years.

Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride, whoa.

Lost all your money, now where are your friends?
You burned all your candles at too many ends.
Wasted your days, now they ain't worth a dime,
It's easy to see why you're blue all the time.

Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride, yea.

{Rod - solo}
Woo!

Look out the window, what do you see?
People are living like you ought to be.
Forget the past girl, it's hard but it's right,
Loosen up baby, 'cause time's getting tight.

Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride,
You gotta step, you gotta step outside,
Step outside, take a ride, Loosen up baby,
Step outside, take a ride, You got, you gotta,
Step outside, take a ride, Take a ride,
Step outside, take a ride, I'm killin' time,
Step outside, Loosen up baby,
Take a ride...

{Rod - Solo}

Step outside, take a ride - Step outside, take a ride
Step outside, take a ride - Step outside, take a ride



Golden Arrow
(4:03)
Peverett / Price - Knee Trembler Music, Inc - ASCAP



Standing on the bridge, peeking through the crack,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the track,
Must've been the fastest train I've ever seen,
Eyes wide open as I watch that gold machine.

See the train comin' and I heard the whistle blow,
Like a flash of' lightnin', the arrow shinin' gold,
Felt so excited, left my troubles way behind,
See the Golden Arrow go rollin' down the line.

Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?

Dark clouds rollin', it's another rainy day,
Early in the morning, I have to get away,
Standing on the bridge and I'm feelin' kinda sad,
Line's all deserted and I feel so bad.

Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?

{Rod - solo}

Yea-ee-yea
Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain,
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?

{Instrumental}

Rollin', rollin' in the rain - Rollin', rollin' in the rain
Rollin', rollin' in the rain -
Will I ever ride that train?

Yea,
Whoo!
Gotta keep rollin'!



Home In My Hand
(5:09)
Peverett / Price - Knee Trembler Music, Inc - ASCAP



Thumbin' a ride to Geneva, standing in the falling rain,
Getting dirty looks, I wish I could've took a train.
Your friends said, "Why did you leave her?" - I had to make it on my own,
Now I'm standing on the highway, tryin' to find my way alone.

Well I got my home in my hand - travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.

It's getting so hard to remember, it's even harder to forget,
Well if I don't find a way, how'm I gonna pay my debt?

Well I got my home in my hand - travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.

{Rod - Slide Solo}
Slide on!

Well I got my home in my hand - travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can.

Well I got my home in my hand - travelin' across the land,
Tryin' to earn a living, givin' everything I can,
Tryin' to earn a living, giving everything I can.
(Home in my hand, home in my hand)
(Home in my hand, ho-o-ome in my hand)
Yes I've got my home (Home in my hand, home in my hand)
Ooh I've got my home (Home in my hand, ho-o-ome in my hand)
Well I've got my home in my hand,
Yes I've got my home, home in my hand,
Well you know I'm travelin' across the land,
Yes I've got my home in my hand.
Well I've got my home (home in my hand)
Well I've got my home (home in my hand)
Well I've got my home (home in my hand)
Yes I've got my home (ho-o-ome in my hand)
Yes I've got my home (home in my hand)
Well I've got my home (home in my hand)
You know I've got my home (home in my hand)
Well I've got my home (ho-o-ome in my hand)
Yes I got my home (home in my hand)
You know I got my home (home in my hand)
I said I got my home (home in my hand)
Yeah I got my home (ho-o-ome in my hand)



Wild Cherry
(5:27)
Peverett / Price / Earl / Stevens / Dawes - Knee Trembler Music, Inc / Earthrise Publishing, Inc - ASCAP



Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry - talkin' 'bout Cherry, Wild Wild Cherry,
She make love like a wildcat - roll like a wire-chrome wheel,
She tastes so good, Wild Cherry - ooh, she makes me feel!
Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry.

Dressed like Raggedy Annie - red-headed baby doll,
Spends her time drinkin' wine - diggin' that rock and roll.
Cherry, Wild Wild Cherry.

She make love like a wildcat - roll like a wire-chrome wheel,
She tastes so good, Wild Cherry - ooh she makes me feel,
Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry. Whoa!

{Rod Slide Solo}
Rock on!

You've heard about 8-ball Sally - you've heard of Kneetrembler Jane,
Well I got a girl, crazy little momma - 'bout to drive me insane,
Wild Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry.

She make love like a wildcat - roll like a wire-chrome wheel,
She tastes so good, uh-ooh Wild Cherry - yeah, she makes me feel!
Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry.
Yea! Woo!

{Dave - Solo}
Woo! That's me!

She loves with a natural feelin' - moves like a lovin' machine,
When she gets down and starts messin' around - fast lovin', speedy and lean.
Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry.

I told you, she makes love like a wildcat - roll like a wire-chrome wheel,
She tastes so good, ah, Wild Cherry - how she makes me feel!
Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry, yeah.
Woo!

{Drum break - 2 guitar break}
Yeah!

Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry - Cherry, Wild, Wild Cherry,
You know she tastes so good - You know she tastes so good,
You know she tastes so good - You know she tastes so good,
I'm talkin' about Cherry - I'm talkin' about Cherry,
I'm talkin' about Cherry - I'm talkin' about Cherry,
I said Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild Cherry,
I said Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild Cherry,
Ah, the way she moves - I love the way she gets down,
Oh Cherry, Cherry, Cherry...



That'll Be The Day
(2:33)
Jerry Allison / Buddy Holly / Norman Petty - Melody Lane Music - BMI



Well that'll be the day when you say goodbye,
Yeah that'll be the day when you make me cry,
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie,
'Cause that'll be the day when I die.

Well you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin',
All your hugs and kisses and your money too,
Well you know you love me baby,
But still you tell me maybe,
That some day, well I'll be through.

Yeah that'll be the day when you say goodbye,
Yeah that'll be the day when you make me cry,
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie,
'Cause that'll be the day when I die.

{Rod - Solo}

When Cupid shot his dart, he shot it at your heart,
So if we ever part and I leave you,
You say you'll hold me and you, you tell me boldly,
That some day well I'll be through.

Yeah that'll be the day when you say goodbye,
Yeah that'll be the day when you make me cry,
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie,
'Cause that'll be the day when I die.

Well, that'll be the day, yeah that'll be the day,
Mmmm that'll be the day.

That'll be the day, yeah that'll be the day,
Well that'll be the day.

That'll be the day



Fly By Night
(4:47)
Stevens - Knee Trembler Music - ASCAP



It's three weeks now since I've been gone from Texas
I said goodbye to a man who made me well
Everyday I've got to keep on checkin'
May be I'm right, How'm I gonna tell?

I travel by day and I seem all right
But when the dark comes I'm a fly by night
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself

Feelin' down, there ain't no need to worry
Satisifaction always guaranteed
What you want, I've got the right solution
I can give you everything you need

I travel by day and I seem all right
But when the dark comes I'm a fly by night
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself
Woo!

{Rod - Slide Solo}

Just checked in, to number 507,
Here today, tomorrow I'll be gone.
I ain't no saint, I know I ain't no sinner,
But I guess I've done somebody wrong.

I travel by day and I seem all right
But when the dark comes I'm a fly by night
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself,
I'm nobody's fool, 'cause you'll only fool yourself,
yea!

{Dave - Solo}



Nothin' I Won't Do
(6:54)
Peverett / Price - Knee Trembler Music - ASCAP



I don't care what you need girl, a lover or a real good friend,
If you're lonely, you need somebody I'll be with you 'til the end.

Nothin' I won't do,
Ain't nothin' I won't do.
Ain't nothin' I won't do,
I'll do it all for you.

I know you ain't no angel - you're sure goin' do some harm,
I love you baby, you must be crazy to stick a needle in your arm.

Nothin' I won't do,
Ain't nothin' I won't do.
Ain't nothin' I won't do,
I'll give it all to you.
Hey-hey

{Rod - Solo}

Walkin' on a tightrope, one slip and you're bound to fall.
Slow down baby, watch your step - don't run before you learn to crawl.

Nothin' I won't do,
Ain't nothin' I won't do.
Ain't nothin' I won't do,
I'll give it all to you.

{Riff - Dave - Solo, Rod - Solo}

I saw you buy your ticket and the fireman rang the bell,
You feel so good, it's just like heaven sure gonna give you hell.

Nothin' I won't do,
Ain't nothin' I won't do.
Ain't nothin' I won't do,
I'll give it all to you.

Yey baby, nothin' I won't do,
I'll give you my time, and my money too.
You want my love, I'll give it all to you,
You know it's true, do what you want me too.

Energized


Rod Price Tom Dawes was called back to produce Foghat's "Energized" album (1974), which included an R&B-flavored remake of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day" among its highlights. Though "Energized" went on to reach gold status in the U.S., the band wasn't exactly happy with its production. German release sleeve from Joe Geesin "Tom Dawes was really talented, but his musical tastes differed from ours," Peverett says. "We wanted someone who understood the feeling of our music a little more."
