Continental Drifters - (Down By The) Great Mistake Lyrics

I never felt so close to you
I never been so far away
Oh, and I know what you're going through
So is that all you can say to me?
Is that all you can say to me?

Oh, I used to know you when
Yeah, but you turned your back on me
Well, I just got turned around myself
Then what do you expect of me?
Just what do you expect of me?

It's a crazy world we live in
It's a crazy road we take
We could walk this way blindfolded
Down by the great mistake

Well, you used to be my hero, boy
Till you parked the car in the lake
Well, that wasn't strictly my idea, you know
I parked down by the Great Mistake
Well, you should've used your emergency brake
If it worked I would've

There'll be a lot of compromising
And if that don't sound exciting
Your money ain't no good here
Down by the Great Mistake

Woo!
Oh man
That hurt
Alright, alright

I think it's gonna work out just fine
Oh, you can think that way if you like
Oh, what would make you say such a thing like that?
Hey, I'm not sayin' anything, I'm not sayin' anything

There'll be a lot of compromising
And if that don't sound inviting
We can walk this way blindfolded
Down by the Great Mistake
Down by the Great Mistake
Down by the Great Mistake

Say did you ever get that towing bill?
Is that what that was?
Well it wasn't my cellular phone bill
Oh man!
I only had to call that AAA one time
Or was it AA? I can't
You can tell the difference
You need to call somebody
You need help!
