Lyrics Smack Dab in the Middle - Ry Cooder

Smack Dab in the Middle

Well, pick me a town in any clime
People like a rockin' time
Stay awake both day and night
And everybody’s feeling good and right
Then throw me
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
I want ten Cadillacs and a diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes, I’m dressed to kill
Ten room house and-a some barbecue
And-a fifty chicks not over twenty-two
And they’ll all be
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
Well, I want a lotta bread and-a gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and something sweet
Gallons of coffee to wash it down
And buy carbonated soda by the pound
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
I want a big jazz band, a lot of dancing girls
Streets that’s paved with natural pearl
Bring me a wagon load of bonds and stocks
And then open up the door to Fort Knox
Then throw me
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
Soul, (smack) soul, (dab) soul
(Smack dab) soul
(Smack dab)
(Smack dab)
(Smack dab)
(Smack dab)
(Smack dab)
