Ry Cooder
Smack Dab In The Middle
[Verse 1]
Pick me a town in any clime
People like a rockin' time
Stay awake both day and night
And everybody's feeling good and right
Then throw me

[Chorus]
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

[Verse 2]
I want ten Cadillacs and a diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes all dressed to kill
Ten room house and a barbecue
And-a fifty chicks not over twenty-two
And I'm

[Chorus]
Smack dab in the middle
(I like to be)
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
[Verse 3]
I want a lotta bread and-a gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and-a something sweet
Gallons of coffee to wash it down
And buy carbonated soda by the pound

[Chorus]
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

[Verse 4]
I want a big jazz band, a hundred ballet girls
A street that's paved with natural pearl
Bring me a wagon load of bonds and stocks
And then open up the door to Fort Knox
Then throw me

[Chorus]
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

[Outro]
Soul, (smack) soul, (dab) soul
(Smack dab) soul
(Smack dab) soul
(Smack dab) soul
(Smack dab) soul
(Smack dab) soul
