Hawaiian Tropic

Hawaiian tropic, dark, and a bottle of jack in the Cadillac

As I drive down the highway

You aren't coming back and I know that now

So I let the wind hit me in my face






Every man gets his wish

Every man gets his wish






Your red Hawaiian shirt and your hair jet black

Hanging 'round with your friends by the track

Baby, you can't come back from being that bad

Just to sit at home, pledge allegiance to the flag






Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this, now you're gone






Copacabana, yes in my party dress

I’m shimmering in love on that crystal meth

A Coca Cola kid, roller coaster child

You my everything, give me that baby doll smile






Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this, where is mine?

Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this, were you lyin'?






And the velvet Elvis and the rosaries

And your white Corvette under willow trees

You the one for me, my one true king






Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

You told me this, now you're gone

(x2)






I remember party dresses

I remember party dresses






Every man gets his wish

Every man gets his wish

But sometimes it comes too late
