Izzy Stradlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say, real fine baby
Said good lookin'
Watcha say maybe
You and me
Sailin' deep
Huh
I heard you been bitter
About your old friend bitchin'
If it'll make you feel better
We'll take a ride into the weather
You and me
Sailin' deep
Huh
Ride on baby
Say good lookin'
Say, you're a real fine baby
I'm packin for a runnin'
Past the city limits
You and me
Sailin' free
You and me
Ridin' free
Ride on baby

I'm binging all of Izzy's solo stuff, and tbh this is what GN'R would have sounded like if we were in a perfect world.

I love the raw sound of this album! This is how rock should sound. I hate all that overly produced shit. This sounds like they went into the studio, did one or two takes and said that's a rap. Perfect!!
