Well, I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now
And I'm a little hot wired but I'm feeling alright now
I got some money in my pocket and I won't need a ride, yeah
I got a big Jag car and a baby by my side, yeah

Well, I'm a little hot wired, but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost down along the way
Well, I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah

Driving 500 miles, got 500 to go, yeah
I've got a rock 'n' roll music on my radio
I've got a brother on the rig just off the Gulf Coast
He says the girls down there are really the most, yeah

Well, I'm a little tired out but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost along the way
But I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah

Well, I got thrown out of work on the Kokomo
Well, don't ask me what I'm doing, cause I don't know, yeah
Only hear you wasn't joking when you wrote me that letter
Things can't get worse, so they gotta get better

Well I'm a little hot wired but I'm feeling OK
And I got a little lost along the way
But I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
I'm just around the corner 'til the light of day, yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

After splitting with The Runaways, and releasing her first solo album, Joan Jett placed an ad in LA Weekly looking for bandmates. Gary Ryan, Eric Ambel, and Danny “Furious” O'Brien joined her, creating the orginial Blackhearts lineup.

After their initial tour though, O'Brien was replaced with Lee Crystal.

Early on, keeping the band afloat was not easy. Joan and producer Kenny Laguna struggled, sometimes selling copies of albums from the trunk of his car. Eventually unable to keep up with the demand for Joan Jett’s album, they signed with Boardwalk Records.
