Key: D
(Summer 1984)
You're telling me to try and cool my anger
To stop throwing shoes at my TV
and yellin' over lunch at my newspaper
Well, you don't see the way things ought to be
I'm getting' all the short ends of the issues
and you're one issue that's been heatin' me
CHORUS: 'Cause it's easy to come and it's easy to go
How can I keep cool when I've been burned once again
Now and then we all have our own problems
And what you're doing makes no sense to me
Goin' out and doin' what you wish to
It's your life, but it's too hot for me
You're tellin' me to try to be civil
But civil's not the way I choose to be
CHORUS/SMALL BREAK
I'm riding all my horses
on the Love Freeway at my chosen speed
As Merle Haggard once put it
You're riding on the heatin' side of me
Well! You're tryin' now to tell me to be civil
But civil's not the way I choose to be
CHORUS TWICE
