I shuffle 'round the earth like a ping pong   To find something just to hang my hat on   And somewhere just to let my pants get dry      Heard a trucker on a pay phone gas mall   Sort his deal out with a twenty five cent call   Shooting through before his see through coffee went cold      And it sure did seem a good deal to me   But my head's too soaked in Brilliantine   So just take me out, alright      I've brushed over stations and channels   And combed the town, corduroy and flannel   Only know who you are when you move   And who you're with when you're alone   That's all I know      And it sure did seem a good deal to me   But my head's too soaked in Brilliantine   So just take me out, alright      And top of the morn and slip of the day   Just don't sleep good since I been away   So here's to you, alright      I think I've figured out a way to get by   I'll leave your bran sitting on a shelf   I think I figured out a cracking good way to get by   So kick me out, I'm going west, bye-bye      And it sure did seem a good deal to me   But my head's too soaked in Brilliantine   So just take me out, alright      And top of the morn and slip of the day   Just don't sleep good since I been away   So here's to you, alright      Walk stupid, like an expectant dad   Waiting for your hand like I'm waiting for Skylab   So kick me out, I'm going west, alright
