Artist/Band: Stan Ridgeway
Lyrics for Song: King For A Day
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Stan Ridgeway



Yeah, I'm drivin' down your freeway

In a brand new car that I just found

Oh, it was parked there in your driveway

Didn't want to wake you with a sound

So I pushed it down the street

Hopped in runnin', I rolled the window down

Yeah, I'm doin' 95 now

I'm smokin' crack, it can't be beat

And thanks for all the money

You left in your wallet on the seat

Oh, it's generosity like yours

That keeps us poor folk off the street

Hey, I'm doin' 110 now

Can you still hear me on your phone?

I got a hundred cops behind me

And overhead I hear the choppers groan

Oh, I'm headed for the wall, now

Gotta hang up now, thanks for the loan

Chorus:

So is this how we'll end

My face here on TV

Here's a message for your mother

Out the windowcan she see?

So I'm cuttin' to the exit

I can see people on the shoulder wave at me

They're wavin' at me

Don't know how things will end, now

But I never wanted this to be so hard

That's how love will go, it's either there

Or it's not there in the cards

So I'll leave you now, but you'd better check

The fire I set in our backyard

Now I wonder if they'll shoot me

Or just fire that taser gun

And to tell you all the truth,

It don't matter a difference either one

I know it's just a job they're doin'

A man's gotta take it as it comes

Oh, I think my bumper fell off

Somewhere ten miles back

The transmission is history

The engine block is cracked

I'm pickin' through these bottles

Left here behind the seat

The radiator's boilin' and

The needle's in the heat

So this is how it ends, now

You get the kids and kick me out

So I guess I had to show you

That this man is not a mouse

Hey, I hope you're happy now

I gotta hang up now and crash into this house

Daddy's home!
