Lyrics
She don?t wanna have a battle of philosophy
Not with me or nobody
She?s a girl with iron fist notions
Salon tastes & drug store lotions
Oh I still can?t get clean
Ain?t my fault she never got a pony
Or that her ex boyfriend?s phony
Oh I still can?t get clean
Do or die or don?t do at all
At 65 the cancer takes us all
It?s one dream after another
Where she can?t run
Out from under that giant thumb
Frozen shit & tulip bulbs in my backyard now
No more big dog King to kick around now
We got him on her parent?s anniversary
Same day that Elvis left the building
Oh I still miss the king
Chorus
