New Amsterdam: Live at Heineken Music Hall
Lyrics

The gentleman caller in the blue suede shoes
He don’t know what to do
He just wants to look good for you
So he rushes in to tell you what he did today
But he can’t think of what to say
I think you listen anyway

He wants to have a good time just like everybody
He doesn’t want to fall apart

You watch him as he stutters over what to say
It’s just a little game you play
It’s no easier for you some days
You wish you could tell him it’ll be okay
But you feel a little shy these days
Cause everybody goes away

You just want to have a good time
Just like everybody else
You don’t want to fall apart this time

I can look into your eyes and see the mess we’re in
Well darling, if it’s shit came out
Then I suppose that it’s shit went in
Even though I couldn’t say I’ve been the places that you’ve been
You know he made my heart real strong
Even if he made my head real thin

I want to have a good time
Just like everybody
And I don’t want to fall apart

I just want have a good time
Just like everybody else
And I don’t want to fall apart this time
So would you please invite me in

I really love the red haired girls
I’m just another boy from texas
Come on and take a spin
I got a brand new set of wings
