Ry Cooder Smack Dab In The Middle
(Charles E. Calhoun) Pick me a town in any clime Where people like a rockin' time And stay awake both day and night And everybody's feeling good and right Then throw me Smack dab in the middle Pitch me Smack dab in the middle Fling me Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul I want ten Cadillacs and a diamond mill Ten suits of clothes all dressed to kill Ten room house, some barbecue And fifty chicks not over twenty-two Then throw me Smack dab in the middle, I like it baby Flop me Smack dab in the middle Chuck me Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul I want a lotta bread and gangs of meat Oodles of butter and something sweet Gallons of coffee to wash it down And bi-carbonated soda by the pound Smack dab in the middle Smack dab in the middle Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul I want a big jazz band and a hundred dancing girls A street that's paved with natural pearl Bring me a wagonload of bonds and stocks And then open up the doors to Fort Knox Then throw me Smack dab in the middle Smack dab in the middle Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
