My Amigo
Terry Allen · Other Songs - Terry Allen
I need a Cadillac to give me a shove
And get me out of this up-tight
Midnight into some lime-light again
Yeah, 'cause I know my ego
Ain't my amigo anymore
An' I need whiskey, I need style
I need a job to make it worthwhile
And to get me out of this up-tight
Midnight into some lime-light again
Yeah, 'cause I know my ego
Ain't my amigo anymore
Yeah, 'cause I know my ego
Ain't my amigo anymore
