lyrics
Hey there darlin’ you wanna sing with me?
If you don’t wanna sing at least can you tip me?
Ain’t got no job, tin can on the boulevard
But what I need a job for, I got me a guitar
Cus all I really wanna do is lounge around, it’s true
But I don’t wanna spend my whole life just scrounging through
Someday I’m gonna get real
But right now I don’t really feel
Whoa----oh, any urgency to
Hey there missus, won’t you make a contribution?
Appreciate the help but I don’t need no absolution
Got some fire, got some fight, got some 20-20 vision
But pardon me mam, cus I ain’t got no religion
Yea someday I’m gonna go up into the sky so blue
And if I’ve been a bad boy I might go the other way too
But right now I don’t really care
What’s goin’ on up there
Cus whoa---oh, I’m alive with you
If you don’t wanna sing at least can you tip me?
Ain’t got no job, tin can on the boulevard
But what I need a job for, I got me a guitar
Cus all I really wanna do is lounge around, it’s true
But I don’t wanna spend my whole life just scrounging through
Someday I’m gonna get real
But right now I don’t really feel
Whoa----oh, any urgency to
Hey there missus, won’t you make a contribution?
Appreciate the help but I don’t need no absolution
Got some fire, got some fight, got some 20-20 vision
But pardon me mam, cus I ain’t got no religion
Yea someday I’m gonna go up into the sky so blue
And if I’ve been a bad boy I might go the other way too
But right now I don’t really care
What’s goin’ on up there
Cus whoa---oh, I’m alive with you
