Never give an inch
That's what I say, son
When it's too tough for everybody else
Hell, it's just right for me
Now, my lips are bleeding
From the selfish things that I've done
And my heart it lies
At the bottom of the ocean
Sometimes a great notion
Wanted to make love to my girl
In the backseat of my car
So I took her
To the drive-in picture show
So I filled her up with lies
And a strong love potion
And I'm sittin' here
Watchin' the movie alone
Sometimes a great notion
Sometimes the best plans
Have been known to go astray
Then you bet
You better put your seat belt on
Just like your worst headache
Well, a bad day don't go away
And you hit the ground
Running against your emotions
Sometimes a great notion
Sometimes a great notion
