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 cant 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
Im charming
People say
Im alarming
People can feel
The disturbance around me
I dont care what they say they see
Im the dust in your broom
100 proof everclear
Im the crack in your ceiling
Thump you think you hear
Im a 3am phone call
Tank of gasoline
Im 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
Im 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
