robert cray - back door slam lyrics

Loading...

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

[chorus]
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

[chorus]
i am what i am
i am the back door slam

[bridge]
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

[chorus]
i am what i am
i am the back door slam

[solo]

[bridge]
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

[chorus]
i am what i am
i am the back door slam
i am what i am
i am the back door slam

[solo]
