I was struttin' down the road

one very dark night

I was blown to the gills

and feeling right

the wind was howlin'

and the rain comin' down

but l was struttin'



My car broke down

on the other side of town

it started feelin weird

and began to slow down

heard a noise behind me

and I turned around

but there was nothin'

Absolutely nothin'



You know I'm not a man

with a superstitious mind

but on the other hand

I'm not the brave kind

l want to tell you now

I really get a fright

from things that go bump

in the night.



Can you believe it, conceive it

I thought I dreamed it

Can you believe it

Make no mistake

I kept on struttin'



Take me home Mama

Take me home

Don't leave me here

Mama all alone

Hey Mama come and save me

from my head just wanna

be back home safe in bed

Then I really started struttin'

I mean I was really moving



Heart was beating fast

my clothes were soaking wet

don't need to tell you

I was in a cold sweat

and then something started

breathing down my neck

and I was runnin'



Can you believe it, conceive it

I thought I dreamed it

Can you believe it

I just kept on runnin'



Take me home Mama

Take me home

Dont leave me here

Mama all alone

Hey Mama come and save me

from my head just wanna

be back home safe in bed please
