Mark Heard - Shaky Situation lyrics

Baby, you know I love you I wanna be your man Try to show I'm thinking of you The best way that I can I ain't got no bankroll No social respect Just a hug and a kiss But then, that's what you'd expect You look like Mona Lisa from your head to your waist The only thing that's missing is a smile on your face A shaky situation is all I know how to arrange A shaky situation, unless the rules of the game were to change A shaky situation, about the best that I can do A shaky situation, I'll leave the rest up to you Well, you talk about security You know, there ain't no such thing You got your earthquakes, jailbreaks Foreign competition and your runaway subway trains I'm not trying to be callous I'm not trying to be cold Some things are just more important Than watching the big wheels roll I'll admit that I am not the salt of the Earth But ain't there no way to figure what my intentions are worth Babe, I ain't got no concept Of this American Romance I couldn't ride into no sunset To no split-level ranch And anyhow, what we got ain't so bad, baby We ain't never missed a meal All I want is you And baby that's something that's real You could hit the highway with a map and a gun And I wouldn't blame you if you never returned
