Sunset Boulevard

Baby, look what I done with this pencil and paper, baby
I got a system now, baby, I got us a system
I got our last four grand, let’s jump in that Toyota
Hit the 10 freeway we’ll hit Vegas by 4:30, just before it gets light
Sit up there by that big spinning wheel you’ll look so pretty
You’ll be my lady luck, you’ll be my lady

And if that thing don’t hit black ten times in a row
At any one time, we’ll be all right

And then we’ll ride–ride
Then we’ll ride–ride
Then we’ll ride–ride
Down Sunset Boulevard, in a gray Rolls Royce convertible, baby
Sunset Boulevard

Baby you can argue with me all night long, but these are numbers baby
This is a system, this is black and white, this is a system
If you wanna pick a fight, let’s do it on the road
Let’s jump into that Toyota, baby, time’s a wastin’
See, the way I figure it, you and I are due a little bit of luck
We made it through some pretty hard times back there, didn’t we

And if that thing don’t hit black ten times in a row
At any one time, we’ll be all right

And then we’ll ride–ride
Then we’ll ride–ride
Then we’ll ride–ride
Down Sunset Boulevard
In a gray Rolls Royce convertible, baby
Sunset Boulevard

And if there was ever anything in you that ever believed in me
Baby believe in me now
Baby, there’s nothing I can’t do, but I can’t do it alone
Baby I need you along

Baby come over here, look in the mirror, look at me
Look at you, look at me, look at you, look at me, look at you
Baby this is how it should always be, my hand on your shoulder
Your head on my shoulder
Can’t you just picture it baby, just like this, me in one of them 1500 dollar suits
And you with diamonds up and down your neck

And f that thing don’t hit black ten times in a row
At any one time we’ll be all right

And then we’ll ride–ride
Then we’ll ride–ride
Then we’ll ride–ride
Down Sunset Boulevard
In a gray Rolls Royce convertible, baby
Sunset Boulevard
