Lyrics

ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR<br />
<br />
I started out looking for you<br />
In the ice-blue Tuesday light.<br />
Ran out of patience, gas, and clues<br />
By that all-black Friday night.<br />
<br />
It&rsquo;s not the first time<br />
I&rsquo;ve been taken for a ride.<br />
Won&rsquo;t be the last time<br />
I&rsquo;ll nurse my wounded pride.<br />
<br />
I had one foot on a banana peel<br />
Someone dropped on my floor;<br />
One hand on my steering wheel,<br />
And one foot out the door.<br />
<br />
You pulled up in some brand new wheels<br />
You said you bought with back pay.<br />
Said, &ldquo;Hop in and see how it feels!&rdquo;<br />
And then we rode away.<br />
<br />
It&rsquo;s not the first time<br />
I&rsquo;ve been taken for a ride.<br />
Won&rsquo;t be the last time<br />
I&rsquo;ll nurse my wounded pride.<br />
<br />
I have one foot on that banana peel<br />
You just tossed on your floor;<br />
One eye on the steering wheel,<br />
And one foot out the door.<br />
<br />
I&rsquo;ll tell you where I&rsquo;m going<br />
If you&rsquo;ll tell me where you&rsquo;ve been.<br />
When all your cards are showing -<br />
Not a moment before then.<br />
<br />
Around the block, down those back alleys,<br />
The straight and narrow&rsquo;s not for you.<br />
You&rsquo;ll need more than that Rand McNally&reg;<br />
To help you arrive at the truth.<br />
<br />
I&rsquo;ll tell you where I&rsquo;m going<br />
If you&rsquo;ll tell me where you&rsquo;ve been.<br />
When all your cards are showing -<br />
Not a moment before then.<br />
<br />
I hear that rooster crowing<br />
Just like all those other men.<br />
I feel better now knowing<br />
I won&rsquo;t go through this again.<br />
<br />
I have one foot on that banana peel<br />
You just tossed on your floor;<br />
One eye on your steering wheel,<br />
And one foot out the door.<br />
<br />
