Well I've been living out the back Of a beat up ol' 'seventy-two ford And I've been spending all my money On some worn out two dollar whore 'nd you might think it's funny But I don't thinks its fair That that ol' two timing headache Can ever get herself anywhere
(chorus)
(Well) get on up, come on down See the nicest piece o' real estate To ever grace this town Yeah she's my woman, you can see here every night Just dancing, looking wicked till the early morning light Yeah she's my babe, she's my broken piece of ass She's my number one undercover lover But she been running way too fast for way too long Come on down, take a good look at my bad dream
(verse 2)
Well I like making money, honey But I sure don't like to work When I could be down here just sitting Wiping beer stains on my shirt And if you see ol' Ben Franklin Won'tcha send his love my way Ain't seen him in a couple months Since my pay check up and walked away And over in the land of the good looking They're still reeling in the years And we're just standing over here looking crooked Just bleeding in our tears So get on up come on down Take a good long look at my bad dream
(solo)
(verse 3)
Well its hard to take a handout From a friend that looks just like me 'cept his legs have both been broken And his eyes can barely see And somewhere way up on the high road Where there's nothing in the way You can't do nothing to piss off the concrete On the ones that showed you the way but that's alright It's just another broken piece of my bad dream
(verse 4)
Well I guess I'll see you friend Somewhere closer to the truth When the bars are closin' down tonight When my words just ain't no use Guess I'm just talking to a stranger Guess I'm just pissin' in the wind Guess im just lonely, 'n' crippled, 'n' angry Till i get on my feet again
(Chorus)
(But) get on up come on down To the nicest peice of real estate To ever grace this town 'cause she's my woman, yeah you can see here every night Just dancing, lookin' wicked till the early morning light Yeah she's my babe, she's my broken piece o' ass She's my number one undercover lover But she been running way too fast for way too long Yeah come on down take a good long look at my bad dream
