When I Paint My Masterpiece Lyrics - Singles - Joshua Davis

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble 

Ancient footprints are everywhere 

You can almost think that you're seein' double 

On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs 

Got to hurry on back to my hotel room 

Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece 

She promised that she'd be right there with me 

When I paint my masterpiece 

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum 

Dodging lions and wastin' time 

Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em 

Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb 

Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory 

When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese 

Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody 

When I paint my masterpiece 

Sailin' round the world in a dirty gondola 

Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola! 

I left Rome and landed in Brussels 

On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried 

Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles 

Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside 

Newspapermen eating candy 

Had to be held down by big police 

Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent 

When I paint my masterpiece
