"Tape Machine" lyrics

"Tape Machine"

Well I've been doin' lots of thinking
'Bout how I need to quit my drinking
Quit spending all my money
And wasting all my time

And I've been thinking 'bout the ozone
And I don't wanna die alone
Lord knows how much I love her
When I see her in a miniskirt, oh

Looks like she's the only one who knows
I like fresh bananas in my cheerios

I've been doin' lots of drinking
You know it gets me to thinking
That I've been sinking
On every ship I've ever known

So I've been running through a tape machine
And tryin' to fit into the music machine
Let's smoke another cigarette
And sing another song, oh Lord, yeah

Looks like I'm the only man who knows
She's half-Cherokee and half Navajo

So let's keep runnin' through our tape machine
And taking over local music scenes
Let's smoke another cigarette
And sing another song, Lord Lord Lord

Looks like we're the only ones who know
In a honky tonk you can't play rock and roll
