lyrics

WAS NOT A LIBERAL

Sam as a young man had his cake, ate it
Tried to sell it back to the baker
Got slapped, but was not shaken
In love as he was with the American Dream

All right
light up the night
seen at first light
red blue and white
was not a liberal

Had a gas-guzzling seventies flashback
Dreaming up wide dashboards
And giant back seats to upright
Every Miss this side of the Misses Hippy

WAS NOT A LIBERAL!

Had wide flange collars and a straight eight
Making the most of 10W30 viscosity
Blazing past Kerouac on the open flat
Loving his women when the moon was fat

All right
do it all night
feeling just right
high as a kite
but was not a liberal

Almost made Jack drop his daisies
Pop his crazies and howl in place
Loved the American Dream so much
Couldn't let it go first sign of a bad cam on the backroads

WAS NOT A LIBERAL!

Finally got caught speeding in the zone
Of cop-crazed bumper booting highway's
Most sublime mounties decked out in
Broad-rim hats and boots, sirens, buzzers and bells

Yeah right
bring on the fight
muscle makes might
bark is his bite
was not a liberal

Talked his way clean, good old boy that he was
Waving the banner like some swanky overlit neon sign
On the Vegas-bound section of the interstate --
Pull over, man -- I think I'm gonna getting sick

All right
driving all night
seeing first light
hanging a right
was not a liberal

All right
wrong makes a right
muscle makes might
go fly a kite
no, was not a liberal
