Show Me the Coast Lyrics

Well I don’t mind feelin’ bad ‘bout the things that I never had
so I don’t really think about it much at all
Down in the ditch? I know all the time it took to rearrange yourself inside it all.
And I’ve been around this town so long it hurts, can you show me something new?
Show me the coast, take me somewhere I’ve never been before.
Come on take it easy. Take it slow.
Well I was made to be a ranger with a magnet of steel
And there were cold hard dangers that I’ve seen before and you chewin on nails
And on my left I saw my coins piled high
And on my right I saw the flame
And it was a burnin’ like I’ve seen before
You know I had to go on over that way.
And it’s all right to cover up and say that you don’t like my drones
And it’s all right cuz I will only say, hey babe, you can make it on your own.
Yeah, make it on your own tonight.
And by the time you trimmed those fingers down
And it started comin back to me
There were cold hard dangers dangers that I’ve seen before
And those were comin’ back to me
And as you’re takin’ to your new home baby
Like a snake takes to a tree
I hope I’m takin’ to my new home baaaaby
Like my new home takes to me.
Well I was made to be a ranger with a magnet of steel
And all the cold hard dangers, that we’ve seen before,
Well they’ll be comin’ back for real
And on my left I saw my coins piled high
While on my right there was the flame
And it’s been a burnin’
like I’ve never seen before
You know I have to go on over that way.

Well I don’t mind feelin’ bad ‘bout the things that I never had
so I don’t really think about it much at all
Down in the ditch? I know all the time it took to rearrange yourself inside it all.
And I’ve been around this town so long it hurts, can you show me something new?
Show me the coast, take me somewhere I’ve never been before.
Come on take it easy. Take it slow.
Well I was made to be a ranger with a magnet of steel
And there were cold hard dangers that I’ve seen before and you chewin on nails
And on my left I saw my coins piled high
And on my right I saw the flame
And it was a burnin’ like I’ve seen before
You know I had to go on over that way.
And it’s all right to cover up and say that you don’t like my drones
And it’s all right cuz I will only say, hey babe, you can make it on your own.
Yeah, make it on your own tonight.
And by the time you trimmed those fingers down
And it started comin back to me
There were cold hard dangers dangers that I’ve seen before
And those were comin’ back to me
And as you’re takin’ to your new home baby
Like a snake takes to a tree
I hope I’m takin’ to my new home baaaaby
Like my new home takes to me.
Well I was made to be a ranger with a magnet of steel
And all the cold hard dangers, that we’ve seen before,
Well they’ll be comin’ back for real
And on my left I saw my coins piled high
While on my right there was the flame
And it’s been a burnin’
like I’ve never seen before
You know I have to go on over that way.
