Exile On Mainstreet Blues 

Exile on Mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down 

Exile on Mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down 

[All down the Line] 

Mmm heard the diesel drumming all down the line 

Mmm heard the wires a-humming all down the line 

Oh, yeah heard the women sighing all down the line 

Oh, yeah heard the children crying all down the line

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

All down the line we'll be watching out for trouble, yeah 

[Tumbling Dice] 

Women think I'm tasty 

But they're always trying to waste me 

And make me burn the candle right down 

But baby, baby I don't need no jewels in my frown 

'Cause all you women is low down gamblers 

Cheating like I don't know how 

But baby there's a fever in the funk house now 

This low down bitchings got my poor feet a-itching 

Do you know the deuce is still wild 

Baby can't stay, you got to roll me 

And call me the tumbling dice

[Intro] 

Exile on Mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down 

Now let it loose, now come on, let it all hang down 

Eh round up those people, move them out of town 

Gimmie little drink from your loving cup 

Now shake your hip mama, keep me all shook up 

Feeling so doggone happy like a natural child 

Oh help me do the boogie all down the line 

Come on Virginia, let's shoot some dice 

My sweet black angel, shine a light 

[Shine A Light] 

Saw you stretched out in room ten o nine 

With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye 

Couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love 

Berber, jewelry jangling down the street 

making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet 

Come out baby to get a high on you, my sweet honey love 

May the good Lord shine a light on you 

Make every song you sing your favorite tune 

May the good Lord shine a light on you 

Warm like the evening sun. 

Well you're drunk in the alley baby... 

[Happy] 

Never kept a dollar past sunset 

It always burned a hole in my pants 

Never made a school mama happy, 

never blew a second chance 

I need a love to keep me happy, 

I need a love to keep me happy 

Baby baby keep me happy, 

Baby keep me happy 

Always took candy from strangers, 

Didn't want to get me no trade 

Never want to be like papa, 

Working for the boss every night and day 

I need a love to keep me happy, 

I need a love to keep me happy 

Baby baby keep me happy, 

Baby baby keep me happy 

[Outro] 

Exile on Mainstreet, it's a strange street to walk down 

Exile on Mainstreet, it's a low down dirty ground.
