The Hustler
I've got something with me
My soul's kinda gritty
Now do I lie or run away
Engine, engine number 9
You get your way
Or I'll get mine
Sure as the sun will shine each day
Just like the apple
Temptress sets in
I win you're tackled
Shackles on my feet won't let me move
Not soft but supple
Come with all you got
My wings won't ruffle
Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose
In my house the moon still shines in the day
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
In my house feel free to dance like it's May
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
Mama can you hear me?
Papa I'm sittin' pretty
Don't have to shun my heart this time
I know when it really matters
It'll be me alone and regrets will be none
Just like the apple, temptress sets in
I win you're tackled
Shackles on my feet won't let me move
Not soft but supple
Come with all you got
My wings won't ruffle
Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose
In my house the moon still shines in the day
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
In my house feel free to dance like it's May
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
I'll be on my own, it don't matter I'm grown
I won't be singin' no sad song in the lay
And if I rub you wrong, baby, I come on strong
I got no mind to cushion what I say
In my house the moon still shines in the day
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
In my house feel free to dance like it's May
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
In my house the moon still shines in the day
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
In my house feel free to dance like it's May
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay
In my house
(In the day)
In my house
(Won't you stay)
In my house
(In my house)
In my house
The room will shine
Shine in the day
