Sometimes a Great Notion

Never give an inch, that's what I say, son

When it's too tough for everybody else it is just right for me

Now, my lips are bleedin' from the selfish things that I've done

And my heart, it lies at the bottom of the oceanSometimes a great notionWanted to make love to my girl in the backseat of my car

So, I took her to the drive-in picture show

So, I filled her up with lies and a strong love potion

Now I'm sittin' here watchin' the movie aloneSometimes a great notionSometimes the best laid plans have been known to go astray

Then you bet, you better put your seatbelt on

Just like your worst headache, well, a bad day don't go away

And you hit the ground runnin' against your emotionsSometimes a great notion

Sometimes a great notion
