I Don't Know What to Say to You

Tom Petty

I got a bottle in a paper bag
I can hear a little country rag
Dollar down, dollar a day
Yeah, I got a little one-eyed play

I opened up the windows
Yeah, I've been caught cold
Here, have a little no doze
Can you hear me in the headphones?

Road turkeys in the lobby
Baby, this is just a hobby
Just a little thin report
Yeah, I've been caught short

But I can't get past 'How do you do?'
I don't know what to say to you

Dancin' in the L.A. rain
Midnight blue and tangerine
Here, let me hold a cigarette
Baby, I just got time to bet now

I know it's just casino talk
But I hear you got a three foot walk
Flowin' cold and hot, bankin' on a long shot
At a transcendental continental, the initials on the door
Baby, are you keepin' score?
      
I don't know what to say to you

Phoenix stars in the saddle
Tryin' to deal with [unverified] cattle
Told proud George to call the gunner
Scooter Ruby'll put him under

Solo Jack and gypsy Jade
Runnin' through the everglades
Tryin' to catch that high plain
Get 'em touch of fair exchange

Chinese kite, folding chairs
Lift on where you take the stairs
Royal crown is on my head
You know I don't really care

I cant get past 'How do you do?'
I don't know what to say to you
