arse-kickin' lady from the north-west

Singer:you am i

well

she breezed on through my hotel room

like an interstate truck in the rain

she said she cut her teeth on skinny jim's

there ain't no scales mapping out just what i think

she spun me a real good story

never let the truth get in the way

that's the reason i'm still standin' here today

said she came on down from the north-west of town

in a '63 holden ej

with potato from kentucky and a fresh pack of luckys

and a bowie compilation tape

she spun me a real good story

never let the truth get in the way

that's the reason i'm still standin' here

reason i'm still standin' here

reason i'm still standin' here today

c'mon david bowie!

i left my brains in hong kong

left my wallet in a two-dollar shirt

i remember every goddamn minute with you

like a minute in a movie that hurts

i listened to a real good story

never questioned anything

the sweet girl said

that's the reason i'm still standin' here

the reason she's still standin' here

reason we're still standin' here today

c'mon man!

i listened to a real good story

never questioned anything

the sweet girl said

that's the reason i'm still standin' here

the reason she's still standin' here

reason we're still standin' here today

damn straight!
