Got a A7long-haired woman, she got royal Indian Dblood
[Verse 3]
DEverybody get ready—lift your glasses and sing
EveryG7body get ready to lift your glasses and Dsing
Well, I’m sA7tandin’ on the table, I’m proposing a toast to the KDing
[Verse 4]
DWell I’m drivin’ in the flats in a Cadillac car
DThe girls all say, “You’re a worn-out star”
My G7pockets are loaded and I’m spending every Ddime
How can you A7say you love someone else when you know it’s me all the Dtime?
[Verse 5]
DWell, the fog’s so thick you can’t spy the land

What looks A7good in the day, at night is aDnother thing

She says, “You A7can’t repeat the past.” I say, “You can’t? What do you Dmean,
Dyou can’t? Of course you can.”
[Verse 8]
DWhere do you come from? Where do you go?
DSorry that’s nothin’ you would need to know

Why don’t you bA7reak my heart one more time just for good lDuck
[Verse 9]
DI got eight carburetors, boys I’m using ’em all

I got my A7hammer ringin’, pretty baby, but the nDails ain’t goin’ down
[Verse 11]
DYou got something to say, speak or hold your peace
