Gotta get one hit

Toes turned in with my hands in my pockets

Like a present day

Hesitatin' Huckleberry Finn

Peek out the curtains

Passed out cartoon

He seems to rediscover

What the underlying meaning

Of the dreaming and the scheming is

History colliding with the soul and the showbiz

Don't save much

For a touchdown celebration

Runnin' out the tunnel

On a hundred foot elevation

Racin' through the scene

                      A
Like a drop of gasoline

Through a 427 in a Ford Galaxy

Heartache partaken

On most of the trails

That we didn't put rails on

Showing at the funeral home with bells on

Gotta get woken up

Opened up all the way

From early 'til half past four

      G                  A                      G
And I got a good deal on flowers at the grocery store
