Lyrics

The bad news or the good?

I was driving down to New Orleans
Gonna party down at Martigras
When all of the sudden my engine started knockin
And I slowed down to a crawl
So I pulled into a station
And the old grease monkey
Took a look up under the hood
With a caffeine smile he said
Do you wanna hear the bad news or the good?

Good news or the bad news
Sometimes it's the same
Sometimes it's not your fault
Sometimes you're to blame
When the skies turn dark
And a voice says you're not
Livin life like you should
Do you wanna hear the bad news or the good?

I was walking down Bourbon Street
Just a haven myself a ball
When all of the sudden this cop says buddy
Put your hands up against the wall
He took me to the station
The judge said guilty
Then he asked me if I understood
I just shook my head when he said
Do you wanna hear the bad news or the good?

Chorus

Three days later I jumped bail
I was hitchhiking for a ride
When this hot brunette in a red corvette
Came and pulled up by my side
I jumped out of my skin
When she said hop in
Do you wanna go to Hollywood?
I said baby let's go and
Do you wanna know the bad news or the good?

Chorus
