lyrics

There's a wig on the highway tumbling
Old man in a drop top is bald again
He’s got a hot date. But, he’s gonna be late
Gotta keep that ruse of youth on thick

Young couple, all smiles, as they come on in
Quick hugs, kick your shoes off, the fun's beginning
But, right before they showed up she said she’d had enough
Time to check the news, time to straighten up
But looking at them you’d never guess

Step right up and witness something right on
Watch how he just glides along the stage
Good for driving long miles, or a fight song
This boy's kicking out truths worth twice his age

Hair gel, sunglasses, and a big shit grin
He’s gonna show you the way to get rich with him
In his six part series, there's a six step tip
He’s gotta peddle those tricks, and peddle ‘em quick
Cause that little sports car has got a lease on it

Step right up and witness something right on
Watch how he just glides along the stage
Good for driving long miles, or a fight song
This boy’s kicking out truths worth twice his age

Step right up and witness something right on
Watch how he just lights up on the stage
Behold wonders not seen since a time gone
This boy’s gonna be something someday
