1984 Casual Hello – Song Lyrics

Just in case you’ve ever wanted to know what all the lyrics for the songs are, below you can find a full track list.

Her I sit. Alone in the rain.
Wayward thoughts baby they scream my name
Who am I here all alone
A shattered soul with thoughts of home
Lesson learned, the tales untold
The weary miles they take their toll

Take me home and shelter me
Take me home where I want to be
Take me home, and leave me be
Take me home

Send your rain, to ease my pain
Put an end to this wicked game
Feel my sorrow, take my shame
Hold the hands that take the blame
Take this mask and you will see
What this world has done to me

Chorus

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take me, take me, take me home

Take me, take me, take me home

Runnin’ the lights on a Saturday night
I was feelin’ good, I was feelin’ alright
She was standin’ there without a care lookin’ so tight
I said hey pretty mama wont you step inside
Let me take you for a ride
Come on baby, take a chance tonight

Come on baby light my fuse
Take me away from her
Take away my blues
Baby, light my fuse

Well, she agreed and said we’ll see
That’s when she told me that she liked speed
I put the pedal to the metal and she looked at me
Just give me what you need
I said hey pretty mama what I need it you
My motor’s just like new
Come on baby, just turn the key

Chorus

Feelin’ alright on a Saturday night
I was puttin’ up no fight
I tell you no lie, she was ready to fly
Kickin’ into overdrive
I said hey pretty mama don’t you go too fast
I didn’t think she was gonna last
Cause it was redline time at a quarter to nine
Come on baby blow my mind

Chorus

Chorus

Just a casual hello, and telephone goodbye
I can still taste the teardrops, and feel the nights we learned to fly
When I look outside my window, I can still hear you cry
I can feel the fire burnin’ baby, and it’s burnin’ deep inside

Just a casual hello
Telephone goodbye
Casual hello
Telephone goodbye

Moment I first saw you, I knew that it shouldn’t be
We were wild and we were restless baby, We were yearnin’ to be free
But the world gave us our separate ways, and that world cuts like blade
I see you on the street today, and I don’t know what to say

Chorus

Wanna tear down that wall, built so long ago
Thought love would last forever, but how was I to know
Well, the times they have changed, and our lives got rearranged
But the memories remain, and I’m still dealin’ with the pain

From a causal hello
Telephone goodbye
Casual hello
Telephone goodbye

Just a casual hello, telephone goodbye

The decisions that I make
Puts me on the road I choose to take
With crystal clarity I see
The one thing that I need
Throw aside all my convictions
Trashed their interventions
Nothing can stop this thing that haunts my dreams and makes me want

Just one thing that’s on my mind
Makes me scream and makes me cry
Cause my mind is twisted and my soul just can’t deny
What must be mine

I see you when I close my eyes
Nothing that can stop this fire
Till my passion for believable lies
Come to quench my true desires
Throw aside all my convictions
Trashed their interventions
Nothing can stop this thing that haunts my dreams and makes me want

Just one thing that’s on my mind
Makes me scream and makes me cry
Cause my mind is twisted and my soul just can’t deny
What must be mine

Darkness exposes you light
And I come to the end of the road
I can end this hopeless plight
As I reach my only goal

Just one thing that’s on my mind
Makes me scream and makes me cry
Cause my mind is twisted and my soul just can’t deny
What must be mine

No, what must be mine
What must be mine
What must be mine

Those clouds roll through my eyes
And that wind is oh so cold
Feels like a lightin’ strike
When I hear that whistle blow

She’s leavin’ on a midnight train
I’m standin’ in the pourin’ rain
And I wonder. is it rainin’? Is it rainin’?
She’s really leavin’ now
My tears are pourin’ down
And I wonder. Is it rainin’? Is it rainin’ in Memphis

It’s been a week or two
Since the day you left this town
That cloud still follows me
And that rain’s still pourin’ down

I put your picture
In the dresser drawer
But that wind is cold as ice
And I just can’t close the door

She’s leavin’ on a midnight train
I’m standin’ in the pourin’ rain
And I wonder. is it rainin’? Is it rainin’?
She’s really gone this time
I’ll say I’m doing fine
But I wonder. Is it rainin’? Is it rainin’ in Memphis

Got a call late last night from that old familiar voice
I just had to ask her, baby what’s that noise
She said it’s cold down here, and I just can’t stand the pain
Cause it’s rainin’. Yeah it’s rainin’. Yeah it’s rainin’

She’s leavin’ on a midnight train
I’m standin’ in the pourin’ rain
And I wonder. is it rainin’? Is it rainin’?
She’s coming back for good
I never though she would
But I wonder. Is it rainin’? Is it rainin’ in Memphis
Yeah, it’s rainin’ in Memphis
Yeah, it’s rainin’ Yeah it’s rainin’

Last Friday night
I took a crack at the champ
And when I beat the odds
He brought his boys and attacked from the back
I couldn’t beat the odds twice
But I can make my own
Now it’s Friday night again
And I know where to find you alone

Ain’t gonna be no gloves
Ain’t gonna be no bell
Ain’t gonna be no priest to save your soul
When I send you to hell

We it’s on for tonight
And my alibi’s tight
I’ve got my weapons of choice
A steel bat and knife will suffice
You’re gonna see me grin
When my fist hits your chin
I’ll break you down with the bat
And lay you out so you’re easy to slice

Chorus

Ain’t gonna be no ring
No referee
Won’t be no witness in sight
To point the finger at me
It’s a rematch

Well, she straight laced, and plain faced
Never ever ever really caught my eye
But when she cut loose
And said hey gimme some juice
I say the hair began to fly

Best not mistake her
She’s a little heartbreaker
Heartbreaker in disguise
Best not mistake her
She’s a little heartbreaker
Heartbreaker in disguise

Innocence
Done came and went
The minute she hit that door
Better look out y’all
Better turn about
She’s comin’ back for more

Chorus

Little pain jane
She’s drivin’ me insane
With a wicked little grin
Evil eye
And a little thigh
With a taste as good as sin

Chorus

Chorus

Heartbreaker

Through my eyes I’ve seen
So many different things
It makes me scared to thin
What this final hour might bring

A newborn baby in her mother’s arms
Rising cities deserted farms
My best friend sent to the grave
A coward leading the home of the brave

Through my eyes
I’ve become desensitized
Through my eyes
I’ve ignored all the lies

I’ve seen the fruited plains
I’ve seen the acid rain
I saw my guardian angel once
When I couldn’t stand the pain

I’ve seen unconditional love
And children carrying guns
I’ve seen kids who live on the street
Watched a man die at my feet

Chorus

Through my eyes
I’ve become desensitized
Through my eyes
I’ve ignored all the lies

The eleventh hour is here
As we all approach our fate
You say you want to save the world
I say you’re too late

Through my eyes
Through my eyes
Through my eyes
Through my eyes

Day you were born brought a tear to my eye
Took you in my arms and said I’d never say goodbye
How was I to know how the times they would change
The life that I was leadin’ would never be the same
I know I had it all, thought that I could never fall
But now the time has come, to make the final call

Lesser of two evils
There just ain’t no escapin’
Time for me to face
Mistakes that I’ve been makin’
Nothings what it seems
Nothings what it seems
When you’re watching the death
Of the American Dream
Death of the American dream
American Dream

A tear still comes to my eye
Makes me wonder if I tried
To make a better life for you and me
The joy in your eyes and your look of surprise
When I pull up into your drive
But you know I hate to see
The sorrow that you feel
When my time is done and you know I have to leave

Chorus
