John Mellencamp - Sometimes A Great Notion lyrics

Never give an inch, that's what I say, son When it's too tough for everybody else Hell, it's just right for me Now my lips are bleeding From the selfish things that I've done And my heart it lies at the bottom of the ocean Sometimes a great notion Wanted to make love to my girl In the backseat of my car So I took her to the drive-in picture show So I filled her up with Lies and a strong love potion And I'm sittin' here watching the movie alone Sometimes a great notion Sometimes the best plans Have been known to go astray So you better put your seatbelt on Just like your worst headache Well, a bad day don't go away And you hit the ground running against your emotions Sometimes a great notion Sometimes a great notion
