[ Featuring Messina ]
I pick me up by the seat of my pants
And put my fingers down on the keys
To sing a story that ends with nobody friends
I'm sittin' on a rock 'n' roll mood
I'd like to help you but I know it's no good
They say nobody's friend is nobody's fool
That's an old saying that I just made up
Singing songs is to make people smile
But I'm having trouble smiling myself
And now you ask me for a song to help you along
But I'm sittin' on a rock 'n' roll mood
I'd like to help you but I know it's no good
I'm like a fish that done dropped out of his school
That's another saying that I just made up
How about a man who can't see his own face
From looking himself in the eye
Or a fortune teller who's finally thought about
What she's doing it for and that ain't all
Now won't you think of a man with a watch in his hand
Who's dying to find him some time
Or how about the singer whose sittin' here singin'
That he's sittin' on a rock 'n' roll mood
He'd like to help you but he knows
At least, he thinks it's no good
Sittin' on a rock 'n' roll mood
And here's an old saying, I think I'll go home
