Big American Cars (You Ain't Never Gonna Make It In Memphis)

I look great!
I punctured through the gate!
Today is fine!
I’m done!
I won!
Swimming in a koi aquarium.

Damn that man!
Shake my hand.
Smoking’s stripped, beer’s banned,
And the rain feels good on my skin,
I swagger down the road with a confident grin.

Come here and I’ll show ya,
I’m happy to know ya,
I’ll catch ya then throw ya,
I, I, I, I’m happy to know ya.

I look in the mirror and the mirror looks back,
This time last week I was feeling crap,
Made a wish in a well,
“End this hell!”
Helped to my feet, and then I fell.

Now, who’s this stranger rattling a tin?
I grabbed some change and threw some coppers in,
And the rain feels good on my skin,
Continue down the road with a confident grin.

Come here and I’ll show ya,
I’m happy to know ya,
I’ll catch ya then throw ya,
I, I, I, I’m happy to know ya.

I didn’t wear glasses ‘cos I thought it might rain,
Now I can’t see anything again,
Put this case to the vote,
It’s worthy to note,
I haven’t come here just to rock your boat.

Now I can’t say I’m free of all sin,
Before you greet me inform your next of kin,
‘Cos the rain’s still caressing my skin,
Soon arrived in Memphis with a confident grin.

Come here and I’ll show ya,
I’m happy to know ya,
I’ll catch ya then throw ya,
I, I, I, I’m happy to know ya.
I, I, I, I’m happy to know ya.
I, I, I, I’m happy to know ya.
