What good are you anyway?
Yes, the weddin' bells are ringin' and the choirs beginning to sing
If you can't stand up to some old businessman
Well the fogs so thick you can't spy the land
My pockets are loaded, and I'm spending every dime
I'm short on gas, my motors startin' to stall
I say "You can't? What do you mean you can't? Of course you can"
I got a long haired woman, she got royal Indian blood
I know a place where there's still somethin' going on
Well I'm standin' on the table, I'm proposin' a toast to the king
Suckin' the blood out of the genius of generosity
Where do you come from, where do you go?
Politicians got on his joggin' shoes
Weddin' bells are ringin' and the choir is beginning to sing
What look good in the day, at night is another thing
And I'm driving in the flats in a Cadillac car
She looks into my eyes, she's holding my hand
I got eight carburetors and, boys, I'm usin' 'em all
Standin' by Gods river my souls beginning to shake
I'm breakin' the roof, set fire to the place as a partin' gift
Well, I'm leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift
Well, I got eight carburetors and, boys, I'm usin' 'em all
Well, my back's been to the wall so long it seems like it's stuck
Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing
He must be runnin' for office, got no time to lose
The girls all say, "You're a worn out star"
Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing
I got a house on the hill, I got hogs out in the mud
You've been rollin' your eyes, you've been teasin' me
I got my hammer ringin' pretty baby, but the nails ain't goin' down
If it's information you want, you can get it from the police
She say, "you cant repeat the past,"
If you got something to say, speak or hold your peace
I'm countin' on you, love, to gimme a break
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
Well, if you got something to say, speak now or hold your peace
Sorry, that is nothing you would need to know
How can you say you love someone else, you know it's me all the time
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
Yes, I'm leaving in the morning, just as soon as the dark clouds lift
Summer days, summer nights are gone
Standin' by Gods river my souls beginning to shake
She's looking into my eyes, and shes a-holding my hand
Why don't you break my heart one more time, just for good luck?
Summer days, summer nights are gone
The fogs so thick that you can't even spy the land
I got a house on the hill, I got hogs all out in the mud
