«Hawaiian Tropic Dark» and a bottle of Jack in the Cadillac,
As I drive down the highway.
You aren't coming back and I know that now,
So I let the wind hit me in my face.
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish…
Your red Hawaiian shirt
and your hair jet black,
Hanging round with your friends, by the track.
Baby, you can't come back
from being that bad
Just to sit at home,
pledge allegiance to the flag.
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
You told me this,
Now you're gone.
«Copacabana», yes, in my party dress,
I’m shimmering in love on that crystal meth.
A Coca Cola kid, roller coaster child,
You're my everything, give me that baby doll smile.
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish.
You told me this,
Where is mine?
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish.
You told me this,
Were you lying?
And «The Velvet Elvis», and the rosaries,
And your white Corvette under willow trees.
You the one from me, my one true king…
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish.
You told me this,
Now you're gone.
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish.
You told me this,
Now you're gone.
I remember party dresses,
I remember party dresses…
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
But sometimes it comes too late…
