Back Door Slam |
| I was born in the back seat |
| Of a travellin' hurricane |
| I came up in the back streets |
| The city with no name |
| I was raised on trouble |
| Rock when I should roll |
| I never could control it |
| And I can’t be controlled |
| I am what I am |
| I am the back door slam |
| When I walk down the streets |
| The streetlights go out |
| When I drive through your town |
| The dogs start to howl |
| I stand in the shadows |
| Sparks are in my hair |
| When i open up my mouth |
| My voice fills the air |
| I am what I am |
| I am the back door slam |
| People say |
| I’m charming |
| People say |
| I’m alarming |
| People can feel |
| The disturbance around me |
| I don’t care what they say they see |
| I’m the dust in your broom |
| 100 proof everclear |
| I’m the crack in your ceiling |
| Thump you think you hear |
| I’m a 3am phone call |
| Tank of gasoline |
| I’m a siren stopping |
| At the end of your street |
| I am what I am |
| I am the back door slam |
| People say |
| Strange |
| People say |
| I’m dangerous |
| People can feel |
| That a deal was struck |
| Save my soul and |
| Make my own luck |
| I was born in the city |
| A city with no shame |
| And when I play guitar |
| They all know my name |
| I am what I am |
| I am the back door slam |
| I am what I am |
| I am the back door slam |
