Lyrics

You've got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
maybe we can make a deal
maybe together we can get somewhere
any place is better
Started from zero, got nothing to lose
maybe we'll make something
me, myself, I got nothing to prove
You've got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
been working at the convenience store
managed to save just a little bit of money
won't have to drive too far
Just across the border and into the city
and you and I can both get jobs
finally see what it means to be living
So I remember when we were driving
driving in your car
speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
and your arm felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
I, I had a feeling I could be someone
You can try to resist
try to hide from my kiss
But you know, but you know that you
can't fight the moonlight
Deep in the dark
you'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you know that you
can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
No, matter what you do
the night is gonna get to you
You can try to resist my kiss
(Don’t you know)
don't you know that you can't
(Can’t fight the moonlight)
(Deep in the dark)
surrender your heart
surrender your heart
(Don’t you know that you)
Can't fight the moonlight
No, you can't fight it
It's gonna get to your heart
Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
pour myself a cup of ambition
and yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the bloodstarts pumping
Out on the streets the traffic starts jumping
with folks like me on the job from nine to five
Working nine to five
what a way to make a living
Barely getting by
it's all taking and no giving
They just use your mind
and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy If you let it
Nine to five
for service and devotion
You would think that I
would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me
Islands in the stream
that is what we are
No one in between
how can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
to another world
And we rely on each other
from one lover to another
Islands in the stream
that is what we are
No one in between
how can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
to another world
And we rely on each other
from one lover to another
Last night we let the liquor talk
I can't remember everything we said, but we said it all
you told me that you wish I was somebody you never met
butbaby, baby something's telling me this ain't over yet
No way it was our last night, we said we’d had enough
I can't remember everything we said, but we said too much
I know you packed your stuff
and slammed the door right before you left
But baby, baby something's telling me this ain't over yet
No way it was our last night
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him even though you can
All those nights that he's given to me
I wish that I could give them back to you
Diane
I promise I didn't know he was your man
I would've noticed a gold wedding band
Diane
I'd rather you hate me than not understand
Oh, Diane
Yeah, maybe she's a hippie
hanging on the west coast
with flowers in her hair
probably doesn't care
about nothing but a good time
Maybe she's living up in New York
working down on Wall Street
Hey, if you wouldn't mind
if you see her out tonight
Tell her she's mine
Did your boots stop working?
Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money?
Did your ex find out?
Where there's a will and there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what caused it
Was the whiskey flowing?
Were you in a fight?
Didthe nerves come get you?
What's your alibi?
I made my way back to L.A.
and that's where you'll be forgotten
In 40 years you'll still be here
drunk, washed up in Austin
You keep saying
you got something for me
something you call love
but confess
You've been messing
Where you shouldn't been messing
and now someone else is getting all your best
These boots are made for walking
and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna
walk all over you
These boots are made for walking
and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna
walk all over you
This ain’t Texas
ain’t no hold’em
so lay your cards down, down, down, down
So park your Lexus
and throw your keys up
and stick around, round, round, round, round
and I’ll be damned it I can not dance with you
come pour some sugar on me, honey too
It’s a real live boogie, it’s a real live hoe down
Don’t be a ___, come take it
This ain’t Texas, we don’t hold’em
So lay your cards down, down,down, down
So park your Lexus
and throw your keys up
and stick around, round, round, round, round
and I’ll be damned it I can not dance with you
come pour some sugar on me, honey too
It’s a real live boogie, it’s a real live hoedown
Don’t be a ___, come take it
and I’ll be damned it I can not dance with you
come pour some sugar on me, honey too
It’s a real live boogie, it’s a real live hoedown
Don’t be a dog, come take it to the floor now
take it to the floor now
