Wonderful Tonight
I feel so free, I got nowhere to be
So why so I need a job
I once worked for an old bastard
Who always pushed me to work faster
He made fun of me
Cause my hair was green
He tried to stick his hands into my jeans
My girlfriend is a stripper in Abilene
She likes me to stay home and watch TV.
She pays for my food,
She likes to be rude
She undresses her friends for me
I don't have a clue
What I wanna do
Maybe I could invent
Something cool
Or I could do time
For committing a crime
Then sue for a
Million Dollar Horse
(lyrics and music by James Seals and Walter Heath, 1972)
From the album GET CLOSER (1976).
Spend my day just runnin' 'round. Lookin' for some solid ground.
Too many people everywhere. They don't know and they don't care. No.
How I spend my lonely hours, lookin' for some Eiffel Tower.
I'm gonna climb up, oh, so I can see.
Oh, someday and I'll be free. I'll be free.
Chorus: Give me a million dollar horse, that I can ride for free.
I'm gonna ride him all the way, no matter where he might lead.
Give me a million dollar love (give me love), that I can love for free.
I'm gonna love her every day, no matter who she might be.
You may not see me hangin' round. I may not stay in this old town.
Too many doorways have been closed. In my face, now where's my place.
I need someone to hold my hand. Just someone who understands.
They don't have to love me, no, just be my friend.
Open up and let me in. Won't you let me in.
(chorus)
