Crooked Wheel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got a tattoo of a melody
I got the lyrics done in custody
I did some wrong
But now that's gone
Inside my mental penitentiary
I am looking for a deal
And a way to make you mine
Think you better take the wheel, when you drive me
I'm no marksman but I shoot a lot
There's not a battle that I haven't fought
I don't know what you took me for
But I'm never going back
Don't let your preconceptions throw you off
I am looking for a plan
And a place to park my van
Turn up the radio, radio
Looking for a deal
Put the pedal to the metal
Take my crooked wheel
I lived my lifetime in a cheap motel
Underneath a portrait of a hookah shell
I carved my name
On the window pane
And sent my conscience on back to hell
I am looking for a blank
And a place to park my van
Turn up the radio, radio
Looking for a feel
Put the pedal to the metal
Take my crooked
Take my crooked wheel
I leave the light on and I nurse a beer
I watch the lightning and I disappear
There's a nagging pain
And it feels like rain
Just keep pretending that you want me here
Do you?
I am looking for a line
And a way to call you mine
Turn up the radio, radio
Looking for a deal
Put the pedal to the metal
Take my crooked wheel
Take my
Take my
Take my wheel
You'd better, better, better take my
Hey
Take my wheel
I think you better take the wheel, when you drive me
