Well, here I'm rollin' down another sunny highway,
been in the sun too long. I'm goin' coconuts but least I'm goin' my way, I'll prob'bly be here when that sun goes down. I wanna live it up, wanna quit my job, tell the boss to go to hell. I ain't complainin', you do the best with what you got. I know you're laughin' 'cause it's easy to tell I'm goin' crazy, goin' crazy, oo, from the heat. Remember dancing on the pier last night? Got drunk and fell into the water. The big policeman wasn't laughing, didn't blink an eye, he said, "You're messin' with the mayor's daughter." Don't tell me, "Give it up", too busy getting down, I learned my lessons well. You get it goin' and you don't never stop. I know you're laughin' 'cause it's easy to tell I'm goin' crazy, goin' crazy, oo, from the heat. Goin' crazy, goin' crazy, oo, from the heat. Goin' crazy, goin' crazy, oo, from the heat. Goin' crazy, goin' crazy, oo, from the heat. |

I was born in a trunk.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk. Left me here to die alone in the middle of Tobacco Road. Growin' up rusty shack, all I had was hangin' on my back. Only you know how I loathe this place called Tobacco Road. But it's home, the only life I ever known. Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road. Gonna leave, get a job with the help and the grace from above. Save some money, get rich and old, bring it back to Tobacco Road. But it's home, the only life I ever known. Only you know how I loathe Tobacco Road. Bring that dynamite and a crane, blow it up, start all over again. Build a town, be proud to show. Gives the name Tobacco Road. |

Every inch of you looks like a lady

(pre-chorus) Don't try to use that thing on me |

Well, Mousy Joe got the master plan.
He got a hat full of sugar; folks said, "You a lucky man." One night he just disappeared and all we found was his hat in a clearing down by the Seven Eleven. Folks cried, someone said he died. But I know Joe didn't go to heaven, no. He went looking for trouble, it was in his eyes. She was a dime a dozen and they were two of a kind. Cherry Blue and Mighty Mouse kinda quiet dude and she was 'sposed to be back at the house with the kids and the dog. "And tonight we're rocketeers", said Mouse. "And I know a little joint upstairs in the back where we can sweat it all out and laugh." And without a doubt they were, out looking for trouble the real kind, Oh She was a dime a dozen, Ha ha ha and they were two of a kind. How many times have you said to yourself, "Hey, I feel like a yo-yo, I've been here too long." I bet if you asked them our heroes would say, "Hey, we're already gone." I know, somehow I know. How many times have you said to yourself, "Hey, pack up and go, I've been here too long." I bet if you asked them our heroes would say, "Hey, we're already gone." I know. How do I know that fellas? And off they drove, late night still alive, They were moon shinin' brilliantly. I'm sure he thinks that's cool 'cause any moon or mouse says he's a friend of hers and this one will do just fine. So what do you say we go lookin'? |

That's life, That's Life
that's what all the people say. You're riding high on Monday, shot down in May. But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune when I'm back on top in the month of June. I said, that's life. That's Life Ain't as funny as it may seem, some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream. But I, I don't never let it get me down 'cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round. Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king. Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing: each time that I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race. That's life, That's Life And I can't deny it, many times I thought of quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it. If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd jump right on a big bucket and fly. Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper; now I'm a king. Been up, down, I know one thing: each time that I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race. That's life, That's Life And I can't deny it, many times I thought of quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it. If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly. |
