♪♫ You'd like to show me all around
Thank you girl but I know this town
It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright
Don't you know they're all the same
Only difference is the name
It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright
Three motels, dusty cars
A movie show and a dozen bars
It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright
Only thing that I can say
Is we'll be here for just one day

Baby don't you know we're
Leavin' early in the mornin'
So long, I don't know we might be back next year
Baby it just might be never
Don't cha worry 'bout it
So long, good to know your smilin' face was here

This town is boring you to tears
Nothing in the world ever happens here
It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright
Don't you know you've got to help
Nothing ever happens by itself
It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright
If no one will share the load
Go pack your bags, hit the open road
It's alright, hey lawdy mama, it's alright
Try to find someone like you
Hope will tell you what to do

Baby don't you know we're
Leavin' early in the mornin'
So long, I don't know we might be back next year
Baby it just might be never
Don't cha worry 'bout it
So long good to know your smilin' face was here ♪♫

It's good to hear this album again. One of my fave's as a teen back in the 70's. I was lucky enough to see Steppenwolf twice and they rocked. Always loved "Hey Lawdy Mama". Thanks for posting.

I played the crap out of this back in 1970, I idolized these guys. Same for "Steppenwolf 7".

@362chop I'm A Road Runner was a big hit from Album they recorded in 1976.

[362chop]

13 years old saw Aerosmith/Steppenwolf back in the day..1976. Steppenwolf was the opening act and stole the night they were awesome. John Kay!!

@rabado1978 Autotune opened to the Music market in 1997---the greatest scam tool in Music history. Like telling Millions of people around the world the food ingredients is 100% natural flavors and natural additives when in reality they are actually all articial flavors and artificial additives.
