Oh! - Eric Hutchinson

I got arrested in the dark of the night

The cop got restless as he read me my rights

He told me, «I'm always envious of those that I jail

If I got locked up nobody’d come to help me post bail.»

And I said oh oh oh oh

And I said oh oh oh oh

Went to a party on the side of a hill

Met three Latinas who had gotten their fill

They told me, «Nobody ever gets us down on our knees

Simply to help us take a load off our feet.»

And I said oh oh oh oh

And I said oh oh oh oh

And I’m never sure what I’m living for

But it’s always on my mind

Someone comes along, always proves me wrong

Think I’m gonna be fine

I picked a pocket just to give it all back

Took out the license, left the money intact

The man said, «I want to thank you.»

And I had to ask why

That was the old me, I was living a lie

And I said oh oh oh oh

And I said oh oh oh oh

Riding the subway with the scent of her hair

She took out a toothbrush, started using it there

She explained, «I'm always sure today’s the day I will die

I want to look good if I get to look God in the eye.»

And I said oh oh oh oh

And I said oh oh oh oh

And I’m never sure what I’m living for

But it’s always on my mind

Someone comes along, always proves me wrong

Think I’m gonna be fine

Get lost in the back of our minds

Got nothing to burn but time time time

Everybody’s got the look

But they keep it inside

We get lost in the back of our minds

Got nothing to burn but time time time

Everybody’s got the look

But they keep it inside

Met an acquaintance people reintroduce

With more in common than we had in our youth

She told me, «You look the same.»

I said, «I'm now a new man»

She asked, «How does that work?»

I started giving a damn

I said oh oh oh oh…
