Winnie - acoustic
You showed up the stroke of midnight
To a screaming Tilt-A-Whirl
On the day the queen of England died
In a hush heard 'round the world
No I'm no fool for first impressions
I don't know who the hell you are
But when my momma picked you up that day
It was a changing of the guard
Six blocks from where you graced St. Paul
Back in 1983
There's my old man sitting bedside
Wondering how he'd pay for me
But that old place got torn down
And my daddy did alright
And now your sweet smile makes this miser game to burn up every dime
You're already teaching lessons
Time does some changing for the better
No I won't answer all your questions
But I'll love you to the letter
And I'll remind you of that someday distant
When you're feeling down
And hope you're always finding this old fool
Alright to have around
You showed up the stroke of midnight
Late as hell and that's alright
Yea I suppose I had that coming
Kept 'em waiting most my life
I see the lakes of Walworth county
Peaceful in your pale blue eyes
And the heart of Kansas City
Roaring out in your sweet cries
You're already teaching lessons
Time does some changing for the better
No I won't answer all your questions
But I'll love you to the letter
And I'll remind you of that someday distant
When you're feeling down
And hope you're always finding this old fool
Alright to have around
Alright to have around
To a screaming Tilt-A-Whirl
On the day the queen of England died
In a hush heard 'round the world
No I'm no fool for first impressions
I don't know who the hell you are
But when my momma picked you up that day
It was a changing of the guard
Six blocks from where you graced St. Paul
Back in 1983
There's my old man sitting bedside
Wondering how he'd pay for me
But that old place got torn down
And my daddy did alright
And now your sweet smile makes this miser game to burn up every dime
You're already teaching lessons
Time does some changing for the better
No I won't answer all your questions
But I'll love you to the letter
And I'll remind you of that someday distant
When you're feeling down
And hope you're always finding this old fool
Alright to have around
You showed up the stroke of midnight
Late as hell and that's alright
Yea I suppose I had that coming
Kept 'em waiting most my life
I see the lakes of Walworth county
Peaceful in your pale blue eyes
And the heart of Kansas City
Roaring out in your sweet cries
You're already teaching lessons
Time does some changing for the better
No I won't answer all your questions
But I'll love you to the letter
And I'll remind you of that someday distant
When you're feeling down
And hope you're always finding this old fool
Alright to have around
Alright to have around
