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
Dm Bb
so I let the wind hit me in my face

Every man gets his wish, every man gets his wish

Hangin' round with your friends by the track
Dm Bb
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
Dm Bb
You told me this, now you're gone

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
