Check It Out Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

A million young poets 

Screamin' out their words 

To a world full of people 

Just livin' to be heard 

Future generations 

Ridin' on the highways that we built 

I hope they have a better understanding 

Check it out 

Goin' to work on Monday 

Check it out 

Got yourself a family 

Check it out 

All utility bills have been paid 

You can't tell your best buddy that you love him 

So check it out 

Where does our time go 

Check it out 

Got a brand new house in escrow 

Check it out 

Steppin' with your back to your loved one 

This is all that we've learned about happiness 

Check it out 

Forgot to say hello to my neighbors 

Check it out 

Sometimes I question my own behavior 

Check it out 

Talkin' about the girls that we've seen on the sly 

Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions 

So check it out 

Gettin' too drunk on Saturdays 

Check it out 

Playin' football with the kids on Sundays 

Check it out 

Soarin' with the eagles all week long 

And this is all that we've learned about living 

This is all that we've learned about living 

A million young poets 

Screamin' out their words 

Maybe someday 

Those words will be heard 

By future generations 

Ridin' highways that we built 

Maybe they'll have a better understanding 

Check it out 

Hope they'll have a better understanding 

Check it out 

Maybe they'll have a better understanding 

Check it out 

Maybe they'll have a better understanding 

Check it out 

Hope they have a better understanding 

Check it out...
