Mia

Aerosmith · Night In The Ruts

Hush-a-bye my baby soft and new
ooh her loveliness, gypsy dance in the rain
Hush-a-bye my baby what you do
ooh, the baby cries, the wind she's a-callin' your name

Mia

Where you came from you ain't alone
Live and loved from the old jaw bone
Ahh don't you cry, you're home sweet home

Rock-a-bye sweet lady gypsy blue
Ooh, the nightingale's singin her song in the rain
Hush-a-bye sweet lady soft and new
Ooh don't you cry, the wind she's a-screamin' your name

Mia

Come too soon that sunny day
You give your heart away
No divorcee, no repouise

Mia - Aerosmith

Released on the 1989 album Night In The Ruts, 'Mia' stands as a quintessential example of Aerosmith's late-period hard rock. The track features the band's signature blend of gritty vocals by Steven Tyler and driving guitar work from Joe Perry, characteristic of their work during the mid-to-late 1980s. While often overshadowed by their earlier hits, the song captures the raw energy and emotional intensity that defined Aerosmith's catalog during this era. It serves as a testament to the band's ability to craft anthemic rock tracks that resonate with fans, showcasing their enduring influence on the genre.
