Rick Danko

Fell in love with the stereo 
In a Pontiac sunbird convertible
Dad in a Ren & Stimpy tank top
Singing "Life's Been Good To Me So Far"
Got a tattoo of a cowgirl boot 
And a bouquet of parentheses
If you ask me lucky for you
I don't remember what any of it means

I wanna lay down on my roof
I wanna settle down with you
Under the windy summer trees
I surrender to what pleases you

Don't say you're sorry baby
Don't say you're sorry
I saw Rick Danko in my dream
Got a PhD in believing 

In 1992 you were breathing
And I was just an hour away from your view
Over the beach wall throwing my rocks
Putting ripples in my prefrontal cortex
Drew a cartoon kangaroo named Jinkio
And when I traded it for rollerblades
The curbs were all black with wax
From candles I shoplifted from my CVS

I wanna lay down on my roof
I wanna settle down with you
Under the windy summer trees
I surrender to what pleases you

Don't say you're sorry baby
Don't say you're sorry
I saw Rick Danko in my dream
Got a PhD in believing 

I wanna settle down
And I get too excited
Keep running around
Better go into hiding
With an electric bass guitar
Handsome friend from Arkansas
Pink house in Saugerties
With dirty hands and bloody knees

I wanna lay down on my roof
I wanna settle down with you
Under the windy summer trees
I surrender to whatever pleases you

Don't say you're sorry baby
Don't say you're sorry
I saw Rick Danko in my dream
Got a PhD in believing
