Dangerous Man

Dwight Yoakam

747 come 11 to bust


Somebody take me home I wanna live in lust


When trust is low and stakes are high


That’s all I ever did in Denver was die


(That’s all I ever did in New York was die,


that’s all I ever did in LA was die)


So put em’ up, put em’ up to the sky


And wave goodbye to Miss American Pie


Cuz you been tellin’ lies, you took it all and abused it


Whatever happened to the feel good music?


Somewhere, somehow, some way somebody pulled the plug


And left me sittin’ in a dirty little pub


CHORUS


I gotta tell you baby life’s been good to me


And I know that makes you mad


Cuz that’s something you can’t see


I got everything I ever wanted


And I’ll never give that back


Oh I know you hate that fact


But you ain’t gotta look at me like that


I said you ain’t gotta look at me like that


(What’chu lookin’ at…what’chu lookin’ at…what’chu lookin’ at…


what’chu lookin’ at…what’chu lookin’ at?)


You run around pullin’ stunts like that


See never in my life could I front like that


I ain’t cut like that, I couldn’t run like that


I’m a keep it non fiction and take my hat…uh


Remember back when things looked grim


I spent a lot of time and money on whims


I remember the crew, remember the good times


Remember the orange and I remember the sunshine


It’s all gone that’s a thing of the past


The fact remains that it moves real fast


So why you sit around hopin’ things might change


I’ll be sittin’ pretty singin’ Hey Pockey Way!


REPEAT CHORUS


You’ll hear me comin’ hummin’ songs of redemption…huh


I’ve been oppressed for less than attention


I got your extension but I’ll probably never call


Cuz this time last year you ain’t seen me in your crystal ball


And I’m uphauled by the things
