I'm stuck in one gear
Caught spinning wheels where're we going
Its not been all you said its gonna be
Black coffee mornings
Blues station sings "I must be going"
I'm stuck in one gear drifting out to sea
But I still have my clothes there
I still have my 8 tracks
And it's gonna take a lot to stay
(something's got to give)
Its gonna take a lot to stay (cause I just can't live)
With you
My brothers tell me
You can't stay with one girl forever
I know they're out there laughing at me
Cause I still have my skates there
I still want my cat back
And its gonna take a lot to stay
(something's got to give)
Its gonna take a lot to stay (cause I just can't live)
With you
I'm stuck in the ring without my gloves
Punch drunk and hit below the belt
You still have my Beach Boys
I still want my half stack
And its gonna take a lot to stay
(something's got to give)
