Far Away

He was a cowboy in an Indian bar\nNot a real cowboy — but I think you know what I mean\nShe wasn’t no movie star, but then again\nShe wasn’t exactly green\nHe said -like it hot\nShe said -I like it on fire\nHe said -ready or not\nShe said -I'm ready, baby\nCome on, I’m ready, baby, make me out a liar\nAnd the walls exploded into a white smoke-screen\nWell, not exactly — but I think you know what I mean\nShe was a country girl — never been no where\nStraight from the woods — I think you know what I mean\nTold her sister she was out of there\nNext stop Hollywood — barely seventeen\nAnd a voice said -Need a job\nShe cried -desperately\nIt whispered -bow your head\nShe said -Oh Lord\nI never thought that this could happen to me\nAnd her spirit kind of floated away in a muddy slip stream\nWell, not exactly — but, I think you know what I mean\nHe was a movie star turned president, not like Eisenhower or DeNiro\nBut, I think you know what I mean\nTried to convince us he was heaven sent\nWith that carny smile and a missile in his sleeve\nHe says -feed the poor- yeah, feed 'em to the lions\nWe’re screaming -even up the score\nHe’s screaming back, now, -we're number one, and we ain’t even trying\nAnd, now, ain’t you proud to be part of the American dream\nWell, not exactly — I think you know what I mean\nI think you know what I mean\nI think you know what I mean
