Lyrics



After Midnight


After midnight

We're gonna let it all hang out

After midnight

We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout

We're gonna cause talk and suspicion

Give an exhibition

Find out what it is all about


After midnight

We're gonna let it all hang out

After midnight

Gonna shake your tambourine

After midnight, it's gonna be peaches and cream hmm

We're gonna cause talk and suspicion

Give an exhibition

Find out what it is all about


After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out

We're gonna cause talk and suspicion

Give an exhibition

Find out what it is all about


After midnight

We're gonna let it all hang out

After midnight

We're gonna let it all hang out

After midnight

We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout

We're gonna cause talk and suspicion

Give an exhibition

Find out what it is all about

Call Me The Breeze



They call me the breeze,

I keep blowing down the road

They call me the breeze,

I keep blowing down the road

I ain't got me nobody,

I ain't carrying me no load


Ain't no change in the weather,

Ain't no change in me

Ain't no change in the weather,

Ain't no change in me


I ain't hidin' from nobody,

Ain't nobody hidin' from me

I got that green light, babe,

I got to keep moving on

I got that green light, babe,

I got to keep moving on

I might go out to California,

Might go down to Georgia,

Might stay home
