INTRO: I was following a girl, a Canadian girl On a great American trip She was thumpin' the bass in an improv group On their way to bein' hip After a few nights on the bus While we stopped to get some fuel Her head got small and her rage got big And she challenged me to a duel In a truck stop there on the isle Where they sell those dayglow hats I took up with a girl who had Eyes like an alley cat She took me home, it was her husband's home Before that awful factory fire But the dead came around that night And proved the alleycat a liar CHORUS: I gotta grow up, I gotta go to work Quit countin' on luck even if it hurts I gotta grow up, I gotta go to work Even if it hurts, I gotta grow up BREAK: I moved out to the coast, the western coast And met an eastern girl She was a big shot in the picture buiz She wore black clothes and pearls She loved what happened behind closed doors Then she locked me out in the cold She said guys like me are something called a genre That's really getting old CHORUS (2x) INTRO
