| Can I cut in on a dance?
|
| You ain’t gonna find what you’re lookin' for
|
| In that little Mexican.
|
| You can’t mix your tears
|
| With those from an agave plant,
|
| You see I’ve danced with him myself
|
| And he’s never been a friend.
|
| You go believin' in your Lancelot
|
| Well it’s all in vain
|
| And you’re chasin' picket fences,
|
| There’s always hell to pay.
|
| I met many a girl in here
|
| With the same story line-
|
| All them boys on those white horses
|
| Don’t know how to ride.
|
| But I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
|
| To be free.
|
| I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
|
| And a hint of gasoline.
|
| See I’m a different kind of knight,
|
| You’re gonna find your fairy tales are lies.
|
| I don’t have a white horse
|
| But you can come along for the ride.
|
| She said, «I'm tired of living life in a romance book
|
| I think chivalry’s dead
|
| And I ain’t gonna look
|
| For them roundtable boys on the white horse
|
| That can’t get the story right.»
|
| I was tossed by the throne
|
| I let my Mary Ann down
|
| Some years ago
|
| And I traded my coat of arms
|
| For a guitar and some broken yellow lines.»
|
| But I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
|
| To be free.
|
| I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
|
| And a hint of gasoline.
|
| See I’m a different kind of knight,
|
| You’re gonna find your fairy tales are lies.
|
| I don’t have a white horse
|
| But you can come along for the ride.
|
| She kinda shifted in her seat a little bit
|
| The thought of every eye on her bee-stung lips
|
| And she raised that glass and the lime
|
| And she kissed him goodbye.
|
| She said, «promise me you’ll take it slow
|
| And swear no talk of tomorrow
|
| And when you feel me tighten around you
|
| Well you can let the hammer down.»
|
| And I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
|
| To be free.
|
| I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
|
| And a hint of gasoline.
|
| See I’m a different kind of knight,
|
| You’re gonna find your fairy tales are all lies.
|
| I don’t have a white horse
|
| But you can come along for the ride. |
