Steady

Before this world starts up again

It's me and night

We wait for the sun

The kids and drunks head back inside

Well, there's lots of smart ideas in books I never read

When the girls come talk to me, I wish to hell I had

Get up! Get up!

Turn the ignition

Get up! Get up!

Fire up the system

Play my little part in something big

I'll accept with poise, with grace

When they draw my name from the lottery

And they'll say, "All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice"

I'm the one who gets away

I'm a New Jersey success story

And they'll say, "Lord, give me the chance to shake that hand"

They'll say

Back when I was younger, I was someone you'd have liked

Got an old guitar I've had for years, I'd let you buy

And I'll tell you something else, that you ain't died enough to know

There's still some living left when your prime comes and goes

Get up! Get up!

Dance on the ceiling?

Get up! Get up!

Boy, you must be dreaming

Rock on young savior

Don't get up your hopes

I'll accept with poise, with grace

When they draw my name from the lottery

And they'll say, "All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice"

I'm the one who gets away

I'm a New Jersey success story

And they'll say, "Lord, give me the chance to shake that hand"

I have one last wish

And it's from my heart

Just let me down

Just let me down, easy

I'll accept with poise, with grace

When they draw my name from the lottery

And they'll say, "All the salt in the world couldn't melt that ice"

I'm the one who gets away

I'm a New Jersey success story

And they'll say, "Lord, give me the chance to shake his hand"

They'll say
