lyrics

I was fixin’ to love you it was all in vain
I shouldn’t talk about the things you needed me to explain
From out of the cesspool of my heart and brain

I'm just a product of my own sad past
A mediocre boxer who was plain outclassed
And now I'm kissing the canvas, I've been handed my ass

Heading down the open road
Sixteen wheels, heavy load
Treads on tyres wearing thin
Don't give me a lot of time
To spend the wages of sin
(And I got a lotta money coming in)

Take me to Glasgow in an old Rolls Royce
Where I can drown in Mariella Frostrup's voice
Yeah, that's the way that I would check out, given the choice

It's 'Farewell My Lovely', the best movie to screen
It’s 'Casablanca', it’s 'The Searchers', it’s 'All About Eve'
When the world is too much for me, I don't know if I'm Jack or Steve

Heading down the open road
Sixteen wheels, heavy load
Treads on tyres wearing thin
Don't give me a lot of time
To spend the wages of sin
(And I got a lotta money coming in)

I’m gonna love you forever cos a deal is a deal
And you can make me come a running like you make a dog heel
Or you can rub my nose in shit, depends on how you feel

Heading down the open road
Sixteen wheels, heavy load
Treads on tyres wearing thin
Don't give me a lot of time
To spend the wages of sin
(And I got a lotta money coming in)
