Lyrics Oh! - Eric Hutchinson

Oh!

I got arrested in the dark of the night
The cop got restless as he read me my rights
He told me, «I'm always envious of those that I jail
If I got locked up nobody’d come to help me post bail.»
And I said oh oh oh oh
And I said oh oh oh oh
Went to a party on the side of a hill
Met three Latinas who had gotten their fill
They told me, «Nobody ever gets us down on our knees
Simply to help us take a load off our feet.»
And I said oh oh oh oh
And I said oh oh oh oh
And I’m never sure what I’m living for
But it’s always on my mind
Someone comes along, always proves me wrong
Think I’m gonna be fine
I picked a pocket just to give it all back
Took out the license, left the money intact
The man said, «I want to thank you.»
And I had to ask why
That was the old me, I was living a lie
And I said oh oh oh oh
And I said oh oh oh oh
Riding the subway with the scent of her hair
She took out a toothbrush, started using it there
She explained, «I'm always sure today’s the day I will die
I want to look good if I get to look God in the eye.»
And I said oh oh oh oh
And I said oh oh oh oh
And I’m never sure what I’m living for
But it’s always on my mind
Someone comes along, always proves me wrong
Think I’m gonna be fine
Get lost in the back of our minds
Got nothing to burn but time time time
Everybody’s got the look
But they keep it inside
We get lost in the back of our minds
Got nothing to burn but time time time
Everybody’s got the look
But they keep it inside
Met an acquaintance people reintroduce
With more in common than we had in our youth
She told me, «You look the same.»
I said, «I'm now a new man»
She asked, «How does that work?»
I started giving a damn
I said oh oh oh oh…
