BLACK MUSTANG She drive a black Mustang outta Blue Mountain Road Sun is shinin’ and the A/C’s cold Pedal to the metal, she’s out for a spin Ain’t comin’ home until the night sets in She drive a Black Mustang She drive a Black Mustang I met her at the mill, she was just seventeen Taught her all my tricks if you know what I mean She dressed a little funny, I never knew why I had to find out so I gave her a try My woman she is different than a lotta gals Smokin’ little cigars with all my pals Dirty martinis in a fishbowl glass Tequila chasers, now ain’t that a blast She drive a black Mustang outta Blue Mountain Road Sun is shinin’ and the A/C’s cold Pedal to the metal, she’s out for a spin Ain’t comin’ home until the night sets in She drive a Black Mustang She drive a Black Mustang Nirvana’s on the stereo playin’ real loud To the shoppin’ mall she goes before there’s a crowd Needs some new clothes, don’t have enough I guess Fillin’ up her closets is what she do best Connie ridin’ shotgun, Kelly’s in the back Maria fast asleep and Sid rounds out the pack Bein’ with her friends she’s as happy as can be Havin’ lots of fun is her priority She drive a black Mustang outta Blue Mountain Road Sun is shinin’ and the A/C’s cold Pedal to the metal, she’s out for a spin Ain’t comin’ home until the night sets in She drive a Black Mustang She drive a Black Mustang

YOU'RE THE ONE I WANT I look out my window across the street to you I hide behind my curtains afraid you’ll see me through If I come to your door will you talk to me? Just to get to know you would be a victory. Mini skirt and thick dark hair big ole’ brown eyes too I sure would like to see them from a foot or two When you’re sittin’ on the porch readin’ TV Guide I could help you pick the show that we’d watch tonight. You’re the one I want to see, you’re the one I want for me You’re the one I want to be, all over me You’re the one I want to see, you’re the one I want for me You’re the one I want to be with me. I stole a shot of Daddy’s rye maybe three or four Finally got the courage and staggered out that door As I stepped off the curb and walked upon your grass Your boyfriend ran up to me and knocked me on my ass. I ran and got my Mustang bike bright and shiny blue Pulled a couple wheelies right in front of you When I turned the seat fell off I felt an awful pain Between my thighs was hurtin’ so off I ran again. You’re the one I want to see, you’re the one I want for me You’re the one I want to be, all over me You’re the one I want to see, you’re the one I want for me You’re the one I want to be with me. A couple years had come and gone teenagers we were I tried to grow a moustache thought it would please her One day she came up to me and looked me in the eyes Tried to brush it off my lip much to my surprise. Then I finally got a car a Biscayne Sixty Six Nothin’ very fancy but one that I could fix Pulled into her driveway I had some real nice plans Wanted to impress her but I hit the garbage cans. You’re the one I want to see, you’re the one I want for me You’re the one I want to be, all over me You’re the one I want to see, you’re the one I want for me You’re the one I want to be with me.

SITTIN' ON A PARK BENCH A little boy is sittin’ on a park bench Watchin’ all the other kids play Wishin’ they would ask him to join them But he’s so afraid of what they might say He sits there for hours ‘til the street lights glow After they had all gone away Hungry and tired he heads for hom Another frustrating day He’s different and he thinks that nobody cares Not even the closest ones Longing for affection and a little love Fearin’ it’ll never come A young man is sittin’ on a park bench Watchin’ as the girls walk by Thinkin’ they are lookin’ right through him But it’s really that he’s just too shy He works real hard and he tries to fit in But something always ruins his day So misunderstood at the best of times He lashes out in every way He’s different and he thinks that nobody cares Not even the closest ones Longing for affection and a little love Fearin’ it’ll never come An old man is sittin’ on a park bench Wonderin’ where the time has gone The dreams he had in his younger day Worried they’ve been left undone The days are longer and the nights are too Many evenings of restless sleep Still haunted by the ghosts of past Feelings he would always keep He’s different and he thinks that nobody cares Not even the closest ones Longing for affection and a little love Fearin’ it’ll never come Longing for affection and a little love Before he really comes undone

GONNA LEAVE MY WOMAN Gonna leave my woman, leave her far behind Gonna leave my woman, she drive me outta my mind Gonna get me a new one, ‘cause she just not my kind Wanna find a rich lady and keep her by my side Wanna find a rich lady that I don’t have to hide She wanna have a lotta money to keep me satisfied I need a redhead, a brunette, a blondie’ll do A‘long as she good lookin’ and don’t leave me blue She gotta own a big, fancy automobile So everybody see when I’m behind the wheel Well I looked a lotta places to find me the right one Well I looked a lotta places just couldn’t find me none ‘Guess I’m just too picky or maybe they all gone Now I’m back with the woman, the one I left behind Now I’m back with the woman, who drove me outta my mind Couldn’t find me a new one, I’ll try again some other time I say, I couldn’t find a new one, I’ll try some other time.
