Louden Swain - Crooked Wheel lyrics

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'm just 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 preconception throw you off I'm looking for a plan 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 wheel I lived a lifetime in a cheap motel Underneath a portrait of a hookah shell I carved my name On the window pane And sent my conscience right on back to hell I am looking for a plan And a way to call you mine I leave the light on and I nurse a beer Watch the lightning and I persevere (insincere, disappear) There's a nagging pain And it feels like rain Just keep pretending that you want me here
