On The Prowl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Well night after lonely night

My head don't touch the bed

I'm on a two-lane black-top

Cruisin' in my rocket sled

I'm on the prowl

Yeah I'm on the prowl

Well I'm looking for a gal, gal, gal

Hey, hey, hey, I'm on the prowl

There's only one thing that I'm certain

Every mile, mile, mile

Keep a-searchin', serachin', serachin'

For a wild, wild, child

I'm on the prowl

I'm on the prowl

I'm looking for a gal, gal, gal

Hey, hey, hey, I'm on the prowl

They got a name for dracula

And frankenstein's son

They ain't got no name now (mister)

For this monster (thing that) I've become

I'm on the prowl

I'm on the prowl

I'm looking for a gal, gal, gal

Hey, hey, hey, I'm on the prowl

I keep lookin'

I keep searchin'

I keep searchin'

I keep searchin'

Only one thing that I'm certain

Every mile, mile, mile

I keep searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'

In the morning I check my mirror

And I hang my head and cry

But at night I get a burning, burning, burning deep inside

I'm on the prowl

I'm on the prowl

I'm looking for a gal, gal, gal

Hey, hey, hey, I'm on the prowl

In the morning I check my mirror

And I hang my head and cry

But at night I get a burning, burning, burning, burning, burning. burning

There's only one thing that I'm certain

Every while, while, while

While my heart is hurtin', hurtin'

Every mile, mile, mile

I gotta keep searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin', searchin'
