If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie

If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me

(That's all I ask of you honey)

Take a chance on me

We can go dancing, we can go walking, as long as we're together

Listen to some music, maybe just talking, get to know you better

'Cos you know I've got

So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you

It's magic

You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair

But I think you know

That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie

If you put me to the test, if you let me try

Take a chance on me

(Come on, give me a break will you?)

Take a chance on me

Oh you can take your time baby, I'm in no hurry, know I'm gonna get you

You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry, I ain't gonna let you

Let me tell you now

My love is strong enough to last when things are rough

It's magic

You say that I waste my time but I can't get you off my mind

No I can't let go

'Cos I love you so

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know, gonna be around

If you've got no place to go, if you're feeling down

If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see

Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me

(Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Ba ba ba ba baa, ba ba ba ba baa ba-ba

Honey I'm still free

Take a chance on me

Can't nobody get up in my car today

Back seat feeling like a charter plane

Bumping Silkk Da Shocker Charge It To The Game

Paint dripping like I'm whipping marmalade (whoa)

Look at the way that I'm shining

I don't be checking the mileage

She said how much is that Rollie?

I said don't worry I'm timeless

Watching Toy Story 3 that's a great fucking movie

City of Jimi, Kurt, Quincy

City of me, Eddie, and Bruce Lee (whoa)

King of the road I drive slow like whoa

And I just switched over to Geico like whoa

Celebrating these life goals

But you ain't getting no ride home

I be riding through the town

My music loud

Windows down yeah you can hear me now

I turn it up, I need that bass

And my chain so bright can't see my face

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town

All eyes on me now I be riding through Seatown

Taking pics when I eat out Girls ask me to freestyle

Neighbors hate it when I speed out

I ain't turning these beats down

GPS and I reroute, chuck the deuce and I peace out

Sun roof tinted, don't need your opinions

I be on my business, and you be on Tinder

And if I was single, I'd be right there with ya

But I'm committed, keep my dick in my britches

The women are moving their bodies

Sunset through numerous palm trees

Followed by the paparazzi

But they don't get into our party

Tell the bell hop that I'm sorry

We 40 deep in the lobby

Travel the world with the posse

But soon I'll be home

So call up my momma and tell her to pick up the phone

'Cause I need that homemade lasagna that's fresh out the stove

Grabbing the keys and I'm fresh out the door

King of my city whose next on the throne

I be riding through the town

My music loud

Windows down yeah you can hear me now

I turn it up, I need that bass

And my chain so bright can't see my face

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town (Lil Boat!)

When you hear that speaker sound, ound, ound

You know who it is, Lil Boat in your town

Whoa this beat so happy I will never frown

And my hair so nappy it's gonna be a problem braiding it down

Oh no, oh no, we been grinding from the go

Jump start, I just bought a new whip, push start

Push the coupe down the highway like a go kart

All my niggas keep that toaster with them like a Pop Tart

Make her moan and she sound just like Mozart

Pure art

I think they mad because I broke into the game with a crowbar

Top the charts, Hip Hop ain't the same we the new stars

Rock stars, look at all my chains call them ice pops

Ring pops, let the rain drop on the wrist watch

Fuck the cops, and fuck Donald Trump, bitch it's Macklemore and Lil Boat

Anything else you need to know

I be riding through the town

My music loud (Lil Boat!)

Windows down yeah you can hear me now

I turn it up, I need that bass

And my chain so bright can't see my face

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town, town, town

I be riding through the town.

PINK HOUSES

JOHN MELLENCAMP

SONGWRITER: ISLAND DEF JAM MUSIC GROUP

COUNTRY: U.S.A.

WHERE: LIVE AT FARM AID 2005

ALBUM: UH-HUH

LABEL: RIVA RECORDS

GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL

YEAR: 1983

"Pink Houses" is a song written and performed by John Mellencamp. It was released on the 1983 album Uh-Huh on Riva Records. It reached No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984. "Pink Houses" was ranked No. 439 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Recorded in a farmhouse in Brownstown, Indiana, the song was inspired when Mellencamp was driving along an overpass on the way home to Bloomington, Indiana from the Indianapolis airport. There was an old black man sitting outside his little Pink shotgun house with his cat in his arms, completely unperturbed by the traffic speeding along the highway in his front yard. "He waved, and I waved back," Mellencamp said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "That's how 'Pink Houses' started."

Mellencamp has stated many times since the release of "Pink Houses" that he's unhappy with the song's final verse. At an October 2014 press conference, he stated: "A long time ago, I wrote a song called 'Pink Houses.' Now when I hear that song, all I can think is: 'Why didn't I do a better job on the last verse?' If I had written it today, the last verse would've had more meaning."

The song also served as a scathing critique of Yuppies and Reaganomics and the overall "Greed is good" atmosphere of the time.

There's a black man with a black cat

Living in a black neighborhood

He's got an interstate running' through his front yard

You know, he thinks, he's got it so good

And there's a woman in the kitchen cleaning' up evening slop

And he looks at her and says:

"Hey darling, I can remember when you could stop a clock"

Oh but ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me, oh for you and me

Well there's a young man in a T-shirt

Listenin' to a rock 'n' roll station

He's got a greasy hair, greasy smile

He says: "Lord, this must be my destination"

'Cause they told me, when I was younger

Sayin' "Boy, you're gonna be president"

But just like everything else, those old crazy dreams

Just kinda came and went

Oh but ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses, for you and me, oh baby for you and me

Well there's people and more people

What do they know, know, know

Go to work in some high rise

And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico

Ooo yeah

And there's winners, and there's losers

But they ain't no big deal

'Cause the simple man baby pays the thrills,

The bills and the pills that kill

Oh but ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, home of the free, yeah

Little pink houses for you and me, ooo, ooo yeah

Ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, hey we're something to see baby

Ain't that America, oh the home of the free,

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Little pink houses babe for you and me, ooo yeah ooo yeah.
