Paroles

WHOOOOEEEE

I'M THE MAN, AT LEAST I'M TRYIN' TO BE
BUT I'M LOOKIN FOR THE OTHER HALF OF ME
I'M LOOKIN FOR THAT TRUE LOVE TO BE
I AIN'T BIZERCK BUT NOTHING DRASTICLY

BUT YOU MAKE IT OFF IN BED WITH MY GUITAR
AND THEN YOU LEAVE A

AND YOU SAY TO MY SOUL YOU CAN FLY
ALL YOU WANT IS A TICKET TO RIDE
NOT TILL YOU SHOW ME EVERYTHING YOU'D DO AS A WIFE

SCREAM AND CRY
YOUR LOVE A SOMETIMES A CAN'T BE TRUSTED
STEPPIN' STONE
STEPPIN' STONE BABY

Notes

Créé lors des sessions réalisées avec le Band of Gypsy en janvier 1970, ce titre devait lui aussi à l'origine servir pour un single. La chanson fut retravaillée, jimi rajoutant des guitares, et Mitch rejouant la batterie de Buddy Miles.

Choristes : Arthur et Albert Allen des Ghetto Fighters
