If You Have to Know Lyrics by Lonnie Mack

Strike Like Lightning

0

Got my head on my shoulders, my feet on the ground
To keep from breakin' out of this blues side of town
If you have to know, do you have to know
I've been too far up, too far down
If you have to know
They went and locked me up for 47 days
Wouldn't let me out and I wouldn't change my ways
If you have to know, do you want to know
I take what I get and I play where I stay
If you have to know
I'm a runaway engine on a midnight line
No destination and no track of time
Ain't worried about yours, don't worry about mine
If you have to know, since you have to know
Well too many bars and too many nights
Too many lefts and not enough rights
If you have to know, do you have to know
I'm the last one to leave and thе first one to fight
If you have to know
Got a whole lot of womеn, a whole lot of beer
Half outta whiskey and flat out of Chesterfields
If you have to know, do you have to know
I got some kinda deal but it's all up to you
If you have to know
