Karaoke Track: Pretender by Jackson Browne (Monster Hits)

I&#39;m gonna rent myself

A house
In the shade
Of the freeway

Gonna pack my lunch
In the morning

And go to work
Each day

And when the evenin&#39;
Rolls around

I&#39;ll go on home

And lay my body down

And when

The mornin&#39; light
Comes streo min&#39; in

I&#39;ll get up and

Do it again
Amen

I wanna know

What become
Of the changes

We waited for love

To bring

Were they only
The fiHuI dreams

Of some greater
Awa kening

I&#39;ve been owa re

Of the time goin&#39; by

And when

The mornin&#39; light
Comes streo min&#39; in

You&#39;ll get up

And do it again

Amen

Caught between the
Longing tor love

And the struggle
For the legal tender

Where the sirens sing

And the church
Bells ring

Where the veterans
Dream of the fight

Fast asleep

At the traffic light

And the child ren

Solemnly wait for

The ice cream vendor

Cut into the cool

Of the evening
Strolls the pretender

He knows that

All his hopes and dreams
Begin and end there

Ot the lovers

As they run
Through the night

And tear

At the world
With all their might

While the ships

Bea ring their dreams
Sail outta sight

I&#39;m gonna find
Myself 0 girl

Who can show me
What la ughfer mea ns

And we&#39;ll fill in

The missing colors

And we&#39;ll make love

Until our strength
Is gone

And when

The mornin&#39; light
Comes streo min&#39; in

We&#39;ll get up

And do it again
Get it up again

I&#39;m gonna be

A happy idiot

And struggle
For the legal tender

Where the ads take aim

And lay their claim

And believe in
Whatever may lie

In those things
That money can buy

Thoug h true love

Could have been

A contender

Are you there

Say a prayer
For the pretender

Who sic rted out

So young and strong
Only to surrender

Say a prayer

For the pretender

Are you there

For the pretender

Say a prayer

For the pretender

Are you there

For the pretender

Are you prepared

For the pretender
