Swingin' Man Lyrics

I am the swingin' man perpetually on the lam
Free as a bird or the girls in Amsterdam
Yellow taxi ride hey I never exercise
The devil when I speak or when I rise

Buddy Holly told me you can't save rock n roll
It's only for the lonely boys and girls

I'm a courageous cat down at the Laundromat
A sacred cow I never took a vow
Like old buildings and whores
Politicians and wars
All get respect man if they last this long
They used to call her MaryJesse Malin - Swingin' Man - http://motolyrics.com/jesse-malin/swingin-man-lyrics.html
But she changed her name to Raph
Life was something scary till she laughed
We never had a baby but she got more tattoos
And I got more material for the blues

Summer's rolling in
I want to lose this skin
They call it art but sometimes it's just a sin

I am a swingin' man
Hey I smile on command
I don't know when or how you got to me
We never had a baby but she got more tattoos
And I got more material for the blues
