Well, she breezed on through my hotel room Like an interstate truck in the rain She said she cut her teeth on Skinny Jim's There ain't no scales mapping out just what I think She spun me a real good story Never let the truth get in the way That's the reason I'm still standin' here today Said she came on down from the north-west of town In a '63 Holden EJ With potato from Kentucky and a fresh pack of Luckys And a Bowie compilation tape She spun me a real good story Never let the truth get in the way That's the reason I'm still standin' here Reason I'm still standin' here Reason I'm still standin' here today C'mon David Bowie! I left my brains in Hong Kong Left my wallet in a two-dollar shirt I remember every goddamn minute with you Like a minute in a movie that hurts I listened to a real good story Never questioned anything The sweet girl said That's the reason I'm still standin' here The reason she's still standin' here Reason we're still standin' here today C'mon man! I listened to a real good story Never questioned anything The sweet girl said That's the reason I'm still standin' here The reason she's still standin' here Reason we're still standin' here today Damn straight!
