Stan Ridgway - That Big 5-0 lyrics

Yeah! Bring me water, bring me coal We just missed hittin' that telephone pole Yeah, we're fallin' down in a cactus patch When it get dark, you light the match Yeah, and I'm happy for it Keep a-rollin' down that dusty road Time to lighten up this load No regrets, no should've-beens Salvation waits for those who sin Don't confuse the driver, Gotta bottle it up and go––and Chorus: Head for that big 5-0 Headed towards that big 5-0 Now, read the map, tell me how come Interstate 49 jumped to 51 Yeah, somebody musta skipped that thing Yeah, but we're on it now, and the mystery's closin' in Midnight see the moonshine lightin' up the sky Headlights on the highway, jus' hear the wind outside just sigh Chorus: Movin' towards that big 5-0 Headed towards that big 5-0 Now, who's that scarecrow I do see In the mirror lookin' back at me Some things you gotta take your shot Half work out and half do not The nickel laughs when it gets tossed Yeah, we're bangin' on that drum now And shake that rattlesnake We're plowin' through 'til sunup, Oh, just tryin' to stay awake––and we're Chorus: Headed towards that big 5-0 Headed towards that big 5-0 Big 5-0
