Lyrics What You Gonna Do Now - Rodney Crowell, Lyle Lovett

What You Gonna Do Now

What you gonna do now, are you thinkin' bout takin' Manhattan on foot
What you gonna do now, are you thinkin' bout leavin' verses just stay put
There’s this girl I know raised on rock and roll
Fishnet fire and lace right up in my face
She’s got New York down, says she’ll show me round
She’s my perfect ten, she’s heaven sent to clue me in
What you gonna do now
Sell the house and maybe move it out east to Spain
What you gonna do now
Stay at home all alone sit and think about rain
There’s this girl I’ve seen keeps a quiet routine
Lives by playground rules she wont suffer fools
She writes books and such says I drink too much
She says she’s glad to be my friend till I’m back down on earth again
What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
I heard you talkin' bout climbin' up Machu Pichu
What you gonna do now
You always said that there was something that it just might teach you
There’s this girl I love I can’t rise above
Pushed my luck to far left a nasty scar
Washed the hands to me thus the man you see
Dark sunglasses on to make believe that nothing’s wrong
What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
What you gonna do now
