Dave Keuning - The Ballad Of Michael Valentine lyrics

[Verse 1] Michael plays with stars Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car Late to call When you wanted to be all Baby, baby, don't be so shy Rock children hold your heads up high In the night while I try And tell the ballad of Valentine [Verse 2] You got it bad, but you know it's true I caught up with a friend in Dallas We took a trip to New Orleans Those black-eyed ladies Won't say they're sorry [Verse 3] We finally caught a train to Memphis Where everybody talks the same Those blue suede babies All know my name [Chorus] And I said hold tight Can't you see it's hurting me But I've got the buzz Like Marlon Brando Michael Valentine, can't we unite? [Verse 4] We ended up in North Dakota Although my heart's in Mexico My muñequita Abre tus ojos [Verse 5] With your new suit, and your black tie Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like I broke to the right and I caught your eye Shut your mouth and wave goodbye Tonight, I am not going to let you rain on this parade [Chorus] [Verse 6] And I will not lie when I say I am not cold no more But I've got the buzz Like Greta Garbo Walking forwards in the sun And I've got a coat tail left to ride [Outro] Well uh oh I know he's going to be there tonight
