The Ship - Minnesota Dawn lyrics

Every gentleman knows how it goes when you turn around and ask what it's all about Any lady with a brain in her head knows it's not a good deal when you're half dead In twenty-five years you'll be in the clear, but you know it's not right With money in the bank who's to thank when you're loving yourself on Saturday night? I was lying by the road with the blues on the brain thinking ‘bout a lady up north I looked down south and opened up my mouth and giggled at what came out Never mind the noise ‘cause you got a choice and you know it's a dance Set yourself a course, make it due north baby and leave the rest to chance And I'd drive all night long through the driving rain and the freezing snow Just to know that I can roll in my lover's arms in the Minnesota dawn Everybody's got the hopes and desires of a thousand unattainable goals What they read in the paper, they read in the book, and they listen to the radio Never mind what you read, ‘cause what you need is one of a kind And wouldn't it be nice to simplify your life, smooth it up and let it shine And I'd drive all night long through the driving rain and the freezing snow Just to know that I can roll in my lover's arms in the Minnesota dawn All the people want, and all the people need It's a complicated, syncopated dream You can simplify, and you can justify You gotta hold on tight to what you mean And when it all comes down That's what it's all about And I've got no doubt anymore And when it all comes down That's what it's all about And I've got no doubt anymore, anymore And I'd drive all night long through the driving rain and the freezing snow Just to know that I can roll in my lover's arms in the Minnesota dawn And I'd drive all night long through the driving rain and the freezing snow Just to know that I can roll in my lover's arms in the Minnesota dawn
