[Verse 1]
They say love
A love has its very own light
That can shine through the darkest night
That we've heard of
And that light
That you may want so much
Well maybe you can never touch
Though you may try
Now at night I dream
I'm all alone
Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone
Man swing the hammer
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak (I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak)
[Verse 2]
Now Eve
She stood by Adam's side
Ah, somewhere in paradise
When the world was young (Ooh)
And their love (Love)
That was so pure and sound
Was cursed straight into the ground
That they walked on (That they walked on)
[Refrain]
Now somewhere in every kiss
I still feel the blame
Like a dirty link
In a long dark chain
Man pull the chain
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
(I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak)
I'm just living in this town
[Chorus]
You've gotta work with me baby
(Gotta work) with me baby
(Gotta work) with me baby
Gotta (Work) with me baby
(Gotta work) with me baby
Gotta (Work) with me baby
Gotta (Work) with me baby
Gotta work with me baby
[Verse 3]
She says "man
I've given you my flesh and blood
But that just wasn't good enough
You wanted my soul"
He says "girl, (ooh)
No matter how hard I try (Ooh)
You just ain't ever satisfied (Ooh)
Oh no no no"
(No, no, no)
[Refrain]
Now at night the same dream
I'm all alone
Big sledgehammer and a cold dark stone
Man swing the hammer
World begin to shake
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
(I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak)
I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak
(I'm just living in a town called Heartbreak)
[Chorus]
You gotta work with me baby
(Gotta work) with me baby
(Gotta work) with me baby
(Gotta Work) oh with me baby
Gotta (work) with me baby
(Gotta work) with me baby
(Gotta work) with me baby
Gotta work with me baby
(Ooh)
[Outro]
Gotta work with me baby
(Ooh)
Ooh
You gotta work with me baby (You gotta work)
You've gotta work with me baby (You gotta work with me baby)
You've gotta work with me baby (You gotta work)
You gotta work with me baby (You gotta work with me baby)
You've gotta work with me baby
You gotta work with me baby
(Ooh)

That was an old song I had lying around that I never found the right place for before. But then when I started this record, I knew this was going to be a good fit because these songs are a little tougher. Musically the song really came to life once we got a bottom, kind of like an old Creedence song...
