If your mem'ry serves you well,;
You'll remember you're the one;
That called on me to call on them;
To get you your favors done.
Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties;
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got;
Seen better times, but who has not?
It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung.
Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe
The country music station plays soft;
but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag;
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag;
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
While my conscience explodes;
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,;
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
Just like you I'm wondrin' what I'm doin' here.;
Just like you I'm wondrin' what's goin' on.
Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
People disagreeing everywhere you look,;
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues;
You can tell by the way she smiles
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
Was that the thunder that I heard?;
My head is vibrating, I feel a sharp pain
When I met you, baby,;
You didn't show no visible scars.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man.
I'm in love with the Ugliest Girl in the World
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.;
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
Any day now, any day now,;
I shall be released.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
But even the president of the United States, Sometimes must have, To stand naked.
I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away
