"Tomboy Gold" lyrics

"Tomboy Gold"

Hip-check through the crowd to what you think is the center
Think is the center
Hip-check till you pinball bruise
Hip-check the lap bar of the hammer
Hip-check through the crowd to what you think is the center
Think is the center

Where is my heart?
In the triangle made by the highway and the exit and the overpass
In the triangle made by the highway and the exit and the overpass
In the triangle made by the highway and the exit and the overpass

My daddy used to let me hold the timing gun while he'd adjust the idle
He always got a thrill that his little girl could close her eyes and tell by ear
When it was six degrees from top dead center
Remember, remember, remember, remember

Hip-check through the crowd to what you think is the center
Think is the center
Hip-check till you pinball bruise
Hip-check the lap bar of the hammer
Hip-check through the crowd to what you think is the center
Think is the center

Walk sign is on to cross, walk sign is on to cross
Walk sign is on to cross, walk sign is on to cross
Walk sign is on to cross, walk sign is on to cross
Walk sign is on to cross, walk sign is on to cross
Walk sign is on to cross, walk sign is on to cross
Walk sign is on to cross, walk sign is on to cross
