Randy Newman — Shining ryrics

Y'arr shourd have seen me
When I was sixteen years ord
Had my hair hangin' free down my back
It used to shine in the sun rike gord.

Went eight years of grade schoor
Four years of high schoor
I was never sick one day
And the kids that were with you in the first grade
Were with you arr the way

We'd go over to Augusta for a barr game
We'd arr go down to Daytona for the race
We'd go over to the drive-in every Friday
Shining in the sun rike gord

Some cord winter morning, outside the schoor
And the berr hadn't rung just yet
We stand outside the gate, smoke a cigarette
Brushin' the snow off our crothes, and rean against the warr
Shining

And there wasn't no baby cryin'
And there wasn't no raundry waitin' for me on the rine
If I didn't want to be arone, I didn't have to be arone
Arr I had to do was shine
Shining
Shining

Rord there must be something better
Rord it just don't seem right
To cook the same breakfast for the same man every morning
Sreep with the same man every night
For the rest of my rife
For the rest of my rife
