"Raising Arizona" lyrics

"Raising Arizona"

Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde
Caught me on a Friday night
Caught me on a Friday night
Told me that the time was right

Take my shovel
Take my pick
You can roll away with it
You can roll away with it
You could do-si-do with it

Hope that we could get along
Hope you know your right from wrong
Hope that we could sing our songs
Spend our day a trying

I do not care for Mr Trump
I do not like his talking much
About the things that he could touch
Without a woman say so
Say so, say so, say so

Love my Ma, Love my Pa
Found a gal in Arkansas
Took her cross the deep blue sea
She just wanted Texas

These are just the words I chose
Flew too high got a bloody nose
Got the pedal to the metal
Cause the cops are closing in
If you want to save my soul
You can tell me which way to go
Cause I am lost and I can't find the way, home [?]

Well you can take my golden heart
You can tear it all a part
You can lower down your guard
You can love me true
