Can't Get the One You Want
Everybody, me and Lonnie
Whats-his-name and whoozit
Tried to tell you, “Careful boy
or yoooou’ll lose it!”
Sure enuff you come back home
And all your stuff is on the lawn
With a note ‘a telling you that
Yoooou’re movin’
I know a good thing when I see it
Too bad that you don’t
You can pick up girls all night long
You just can’t get the one you want
You send’r flowers, cards and letters
try to call and never get’r
leave a message soundin’ like
you’re sooo….sorry
but it ain’t like she never knew you
she can look and see right though you
tryin’ to play’r like some kind of Ahhh….tari
now that hot little thang you’re talkin’ to
will glad take you home
but spend your whole life missin’ her
cuz ya can’t git the one you want
With apologies to every other girl around
She’s the one that makes you wanna settle down..
Years go by and time will past
And you’re still kickin’ your own ass
You know there ain’t a chance in hell
So for—get it!
Knowing that it’s all your fault
You beat your head against the wall
It’s gonna drive you crazy boy if you let it!
You had the one that makes you happy
Right there in your arms
Now, you’re gonna have to settle for second best
Cuz ya can’t git the one you want
Ya gonna have to pick her from all the rest
Cuz ya can’t…..
You’re gonna spend your whole life missin’ her
Cuz ya can’t….
I’m still chasin’ that same ‘ol dream
That same ‘ol dream same ‘ol thing
I still want you but it’s never gonna be
Cuz you know me yeah know you me
I know I got comin’ but my heart still breaks
The thought of giving up is more than I can take
I’m still payin’ for them same mistakes
Cuz you won’t let me live’m down
You forgot about me ain’t forgiven me yet
I ain’t near as bad I used to be
But you know me yeah you know me
I while away the hours my heart’s a mess
I just can’t seem to get it through my thick head
That you don’t want me around
I’m chasing
that same’ol dream
Same ‘ol dream same ‘ol thing
I still want you but it’s never gonna be
Cuz you know me yeah you know me
Come over after church on Sunday
And we’ll sit out by the oak
I’d love to take you to a matinee, baby
But I’m just too broke
You’ll be the vision of an angel
When you walk up to my gate
And I’ll tell Mama that your comin’
Just step on it and fix your plate
Or we can sit out on the porch swing
And wave at cars as they go by|
Yeah, we can talk about anything
Just love to have you by my side
I guess I’ll have to slick my hair back
And try real hard to look my best
Don’t wanna look like I just woke up
With you in your Sunday dress
When you never have to leave
I know it’s gonna happen one day
And I hope that you still believe
cuz I love when I see you comin’ in that Sunday dress
yeah, do me the favor of wearin’ that Sunday dress
Cuz I still love seein’ you coming in that Sunday dress
Well you told me all about your misdemeanors, indiscretions
Imperfections, everybody’s got a few
But you said that you were ready
For something strong and steady
You said I would never do those things to you
You left me high, you left me dry
Yeah, you lied, you changed your mind
You got me high and left me dry
My boys would let me hear it every day
But you seemed alright to me
So sincerely I believed
When you said you’d never let me get away
I was dumb enough to take you back again
But it was only days before you found your wicked ways
That’s when I found you hiding under him
Steppin’ high as I’m walkin’ down the sidewalk
(and the) rain is beating down upon the rooftops
I listen to the music of your small talk
When I’m with you
I can walk between raindrops
I never worry if the sun shinin’
I never notice when it starts or stops
Everyday comes with a silver lining
When I’m with you
I can walk between raindrops
When I’m with you
I can walk between raindrops
Or what we’re going to do
I don’t need the weatherman
As long as I’m with you
To some guy who was wet down to his sox
I felt sorry for that other fella’
And I had you, so
I could walk between raindrops
Yeah, I have you
I can walk between raindrops
When I’m with you
I can walk between raindrops
I was riding around, I was cutting the town
In my Daddy’s old Oldsmobile
Itza faded out red, the motor’s half dead
Ain’t no hubcaps for the wheels
I was being laughed at by all my friends from school
All the young girls were lookin’ away
That’s when I made up my mind I had to get my own ride
And I saw it comin’ home that day
A purple GTO, purple GTO
Yeah, it’s got to be the car for me
I wanna hear my Daddy say
He’ll help me find a way
to get into the driver’s seat
And it looked better than it did before
It was jacked up in back, it had Crager chrome mags
And a Hurst shifter on the floor
We rang the front door bell and we talked to that man
About the car I had my heart set on
But I could see in Daddy’s eyes when he asked him the price
That I wasn’t gonna drive it home
It’s got to be the car for me
I wanna hear my Daddy say
He’ll help me find a way
to get into the driver’s seat
cuz this old Oldsmobile is on it’s last leg
I got to find another way to go
I want all the girls to see that it’s really me
In a purple GTO……solo
And that car was still beside the road
I said Daddy let’s go by and see if we can try
To talk him into letting it go
So they dickered for a while, then I saw that man smile
It was an offer that he couldn’t refuse
But now I drive it everyday down to the Pick ‘N Pay
Tryin’ to sell some old lady some shoes!
Yeah, it’s the only car for me and
Though my Daddy wouldn’t pay he helped me find a way
To get into the driver’s seat
So if you see me comin’ in your rear view mirror
You better not be going to slow
I ain’t got time for cruisin’, if I’m late I might be loosin’
My little purple GTO…(repeat)
Damn that woman drankin’ all my licker
Out that door is where I’m gonna kick’er
She better straighten up and fly right or
It won’t be long
I hope that ugly ‘ol head’s a hurtin’
Cuz I know one damn thang’s fer certain
She better go git her a job
Or she’s gonna be gone
Can’t pay the rent
Put shoes on the baby’s feet
It all gets spent
Puttin’ food on the table to eat
and we both know I can’t afford to go down to the licker store
And buy enuff for her and me
On a Hundred dollars a week
Sittin’ ‘round the house gittin’ fat and lazy
Lookin’ in the catalogue seein’ what she gonna get next
While the bills are a pilin’ up by the hour
Daycare, credit cards, water and power
Guess there’s nothin’ to do but write another bad check
Can’t pay the rent
Put shoes on the baby’s feet
It all gets spent
Puttin’ food on the table to eat
and we both know I can’t afford to go down to the licker store
And buy enuff for her and me
(When I don’t make but a..)
On a Hundred dollars a week
CH-
Who sez “love’s forever”?
(I know, Inez)
Cuz she don’t know no better
(I love Inez)
But when I’m alone with her I never let it bug me
Cuz she really can’t help it, you see
It’s been handed down to ‘er through the family
And I think that I’m gonna love her anyway
And everybody thinks she’s great cuz she’s so witty
When we go out with friends,
Everybody laughs at everything she sez
That’s why I know I’ll always love Inez
Br- Inez! Inez! Inez! Inez! Yeah! Yeah!
And she’s got some things on her mind that just don’t matter
And I really can’t help it, you see
Cuz something she’s got has got a hold of me
And I don’t ever wanna lose Inez
(I know, Inez)
Cuz she don’t know no better
(I love Inez)
Who sez “love’s forever”?
(I love Inez)
Hey Mr. Po…lice don’t ya pull me over
I don’t wanna stop until I get that bottle open
I feel a drunk cumin’ on
I gotta hurry up, and git back home
I feel a drunk cumin’ on
But I got a good excuse
Right now I’m really needin’
me a glass o’ dat juice
Flasher flasher
Emergency!
Just how sober can one man be?
My Momma’s so proud
And everybody’s amazed
…I ain’t pulled a drunk in a couple o’ days
another single minute
I see empty glass
I’m gonna pour me somethin’ in it
Feel a drunk cumin’ on….
Git Yo Ass up the Road
Git Yo Ass up the Road
Well, I know you think you own it
But you shouldn’t be on it
When I got over the hill
Runnin’ twenty miles an hour
Below the posted speed
You almost got us killed…CH.
Cuz’ the smoke is pourin’
And there ain’t nowhere to pass you
On this winding two lane
Can’t you hear the horns
Can’t you hear the horns?
And run you in the ditch
Then we’ll shoot you the bird
When we’re driving by you
You son of a …….!!!!…..CH.
Check please I’m ready to leave
Nothin’ for me to hang around for
I’m gone and feeling so strong
I’m pushin’ the pedal
Right throught the floorboard
You don’t need me and you don’t want me here….
Nothin’ for me to hang around for
I’m done I know it’s been fun
But the pleasure I’m sure has been all yours
it seems that I have worn my welcome thin
I won’t curtsey or take no bows
And save your kiss goodbye
Nothin’ for me to hang around for
I’m gone and feeling so strong
I’m pushin’ the pedal
Right throught the floorboard
And I ain’t lookin’ back
Just straight ahead and radio on gag
Check please
I’m ready to leave
Nothin’ for me to hang around for
I’m done
I know it’s been fun
But the pleasure I’m sure has been all yours
Check please, I’m ready to leave
Why don’t you come over here
And help me drink this Thunderbird
Why don’t you come over here
And help me drink this Thunderbird
I bought two quarts this morning
On my way to work
And if I drink them by myself
My head is gonna hurt…CH.
As silly as it gets
I just might pull my pants down
And smoke some cigarettes…CH.
You don’t even need a corkscrew
You don’t need a fancy glass
Drink right from the bottle if you want to
Or you can stay at home
And kiss my ass!
Solo
Last time we got stupid
And punched holes in my walls
And when my landlord saw them
He punched us in our jaws….CH.
Bridge…CH.
You gotta go to rehab
I can’t take it any more
You screwed up what we had
Git ya coat, I’m standin’ at the door
Cuz you gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go
It’s a matter of life an death
You’re killin’ yourself an everyone around you
And you’re too drunk to know what’s best
Yeah you gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go
I can’t love you anymore
Passed out in the bathroom
Face down on the floor
Cuz you gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go to rehab
I can’t take it any more
You screwed up what we had
Git ya coat, I’m standin’ at the door
Cuz you gotta go
You gotta go
You gotta go
