Seger, Bob - Lock And Load Lyrics






Well I wish I had a nickel
For every time I fell and blamed somebody else
I'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurt
And I'd still be sittin' pretty well
I've spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's real
Caught up in these missions of my own
And you're tellin' me you think I've done so damn well
While we're sittin' here a thousand miles from home
There's a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your sky
Two holes in your head where the light's supposed to get by

Time to lock and load
Time to get control
Time to search the soul
And start again

So many times I've seen chances disappear
I hesitate and watch them slip away
Like the time I fail to spend with the ones I love
And it's gone as sure as yesterday
All these users and fakers, big time takers
Manipulating everyone they see
I get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreams
And the only one I have to blame is me
I get turned `round and twisted, pulled left and right
I can see where I'm goin', but I can't see the light

Time to lock and load
Come in from the cold
Take a different road
And start again

I can sit here, in the back half of my life
And wonder when the other shoe will fall
Or I can stand up, point myself home
And see if I've learned anything at all
Anything at all

Mediocrity is easy, the good things take time
The great need commitment, right down the line

Time to lock and load
Come in from the cold
Pay these debts I owe
And start again

I've been down this road
I've seen things get old
Time to get control
And start it all again

Time to lock and load
Time to get control
Time to search the soul
And start again

I've been down this road
I've seen things get old
Stand up, get bold
And start it all again

Time to lock and load

  74. R.... S....

    This album was the nearest to being perfect. Capitol should have released singles from this LP. They would have had many hits thus increasing LP & CD sales. Once again Capitol screwed up again on p[romoting Seger.

  75. M.... L....

    Lock and Load is what we feel it's time to love but be free and i have the same feelings!

  76. N.... ....

    i always thought you where sexy with that long dark hair well now your even more sexy and love watching you, the only think i wish is i could have seen u play i have no idea if u every came to New Brunswick Canada

    This song hit me big. My last night at Betty Ford, I got to play it and have made it my theme song. 10 years now. still locked and loaded and am in from the cold in the back half of my life still trying to figure out what if anything I've learned in my life. What a great song.

  84. C.... ....

    Great Job!!!! Thanks for posting

  87. R.... D....

    lock and load.....AMEN....RICHARD U.S. ARMY

  88. R.... S....

    I thiink "It"s A mystery" Is bob's finest LP. But radio(Album Rock Stations Especially didn't give this aalbum any play. Thus it died here in Boston because are 2 Album Rock stations WBCN and WZLX were beginning to really falter at that time. BCN is gone ans ZLX is now Classic Rock.

  89. b.... ....

    @piratesmvp The WARROOM!!!!

  90. i.... ....

    Heard this song from Quinn and Rose!

  91. e.... ....

    @cdautrey This song struck a chord with me but radio didn't give it much airplay. I'm from Ohio and I've always believed that Bob Seger was the voice of the Midwest kids.

    I love the lyrics and grinding guitar.

  92. m.... ....

    Beautiful song~beautiful pictures~beautiful man!!!
    Love Bob's smile~it contagious!!! ; )

  93. s.... c....

    Great song, Forever fan here ! Hoping to see him in concert again soon, maybe in Orlando, FL.. Always awesome...

  94. P.... B....

    Nice, like this song!!!....PBO

  95. k.... ....

    There's no other like Bob:)))

  96. p.... ....

    Quinn and Rose!

  97. c.... ....

    Very under-rated song...classic Seger.
    Don't know why this one didn't sprint up the charts...
