Lyrics
NAUGHAHYDE by Scott Mickelson
You always had a mean streak
At least that's what I'm told
You'll taste anything that comes your way
You'll send that soup back if it's cold
You were hardened by this red meat town
But it keeps you satisfied
You got a tongue that's tough as leather
Mine's naugahyde
You twist me like a animal balloon
I don't look like I used to
I left my wife in Woodside
She was feeling apathetic
And I took this job in cellular phones
Nice work if you can get it
Now I'm living at The Longview
And you look like a young Pamela Lee
I was driving but I was derailed
and you ride along with me
You twist me like a animal balloon
I don't look like I used to
I've got a kid in Upperstate
She picked up the phone
She needs money and she cait wait
I guess my cover's blown
But I've kept my sense of humor
And I let you call the play by play
Just wind me up and wear me out
I can't leave but I can't stay
You twist me like a animal balloon
I don't look like I used to
