Jumpin' Jack Flash / Young Blood
Leon Russell
I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my mama in the driving rain
But it's alright now
Fact it's a gas
And it's alright, hey
I'm Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas yeah
I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
And I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's alright now
Fact it's a gas
And it's alright, hey
I'm Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas
Woo-oo
Woo-oo (woo-hoo)
Woo-oo (woo-hoo)

Woo-oo (woo-hoo woo-hoo)
Yeah but it's alright now
In fact it's a gas
And it's alright
Yeah I'm Jumping Jack Flash it's a gas gas gas yeah
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
I looked down at my feet and I saw they bled
And I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
But it's alright now
In fact it's a gas
Alright now
In fact it's a gas
But it's alright now
In fact it's a gas
But it's alright now
It's alright now
Oh, you know that I love my woman
But just sometimes she just don't treat me right
Yes I woke up this morning and I looked her in the eye
She said sweet daddy, you got what I want
But you ain't givin' it to me
Oh, and it hurt me deep down into my soul
And I had go on out of the door
And I was cryin' my heart I didn't know if I was
Gonna ever see my baby no more
I went a-walkin' down the street
And I was ashamed to look at anyone I meet
O-oh, all at once a blinding light flashing in my eyes
And there she was standing
Leaning up against a lamp post
(Well, tell it, tell it)
I saw her standing on the corner
A yellow ribbon in her hair
All at once my heart did stutter
Look a-there
(Where?)
Look a-there
Look a-there
Young blood
Young blood
Young blood
Woo, I can't get you out of my mind
And I couldn't sleep a wink for crying
And I saw the risin' of the sun
All night long my heart was crying
You're the one
(You're the one)
(You're the one)
(You're the one)
Young blood
Woh my baby young blood
Young blood
Woh I can't get you out of my mind
Wooh
What crazy stuff
She looked so tough
Wooh
I had to follow her all the way home
Then things went bad
I met her dad, he said
You'd better leave my daughter alone
I couldn't sleep a wink for crying
And I saw the risin' of the sun
All night long my heart was crying
You're the one
You're the one
You're the one
A-you're the one
Young blood
Woo-oo-oo young blood

Oh, and I looked at that nineteen year old girl
Right in the eye
And I said you look so sweet to me darlin'
But there's one thing I gotta tell you
You know, I've got me a fine old lady
Laying back there in that bedroom at home
And I think I got to get back to her
Oh, and you winked at me and she smiled at me and she said
Yes I am [..]] and I walked on home down the street, back to my pet
And I crawled and I snugged and I crawled back in the bedroom
My baby looked at me with her great big blue bedroom eyes
And she said
Woh, daddy where have you been all night long?
Yet I know I told you to get away from me
I told you to leave me alone
Woh, but I had a chain in your heart
And I've been needin' you all night long
Yes babe I been needin' the good thing
I ain't had none of the good thing
Yeah and I looked at my baby and I said
Baby, I said what is it that I've got that you want, yeah?
She looked at me and she said
Real slow, real soft, real sweet
She said this right here
Yeah, she's alright now, in fact it's a gas
It's alright now, in fact it's a gas
It's alright now, in fact it's a gas
It's alright, it's alright now
Yeah, now ev'rybody's got a young lady at home that they love
But sometimes the things, they just don't go right
But I want to tell you one thing, and it's for sure
You treat your woman like you treat yourself
Ev'rything is gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Yeah it's gonna be alright now
