Pretty Smart On My Part Lyrics - Live Again! - Phil Ochs

Pre>e 

I can see him coming 

He's walking down the highway 

With his big boots on 

And his big thumb out 

A 

He wants to get me 

He wants to hurt me 

E/a/b a e 

He wants bring me down 

C#m 

But sometime later when I'm feel a little straighter 

I will come across a stranger 

Who'll remind me of the danger 

A - b e 

And then I'll run him over 

A e 

Pretty smart on my part 

D a - e 

Find my way home in the dark 

I can see her coming 

Sure looks pretty 

Her breasts are bold 

And her mouth is large 

She wants to get me 

She wants to hurt me 

She wants to bring me down 

But sometime later when I feel a little naked 

I'll lead her to altar 

Then I'll tie her all in leather 

Then I'm gonna whip her 

Pretty smart on my part 

Find my way home in the dark 

I can see him coming 

He's walking through bedroom 

With a switchblade knife 

He's looking at my wife 

He wants to get me 

He wants to hurt me 

He wants to bring me down 

But sometime later when I feel a little braver 

I'll go hunting with my rifle 

Where the wild geese are flying 

Then I'm gonna bag one 

Pretty smart on my part 

Find my way home in the dark 

I can see them coming 

They're training in the mountains 

And they talk chinese 

And they spread disease 

They want to get me 

They want to hurt me 

They want bring me down 

But sometime later when I feel a little safer 

We'll assasinate the president 

And take over the government 

And then we're going to fry them 

Pretty smart on my part 

Find my way home in the dark /pre>
