Frank to Valentino

歌詞

they raised him up on the installment plan -- the homely son of a handsome man neither clear-complected nor expected to achieve a little bit ragged, a little big rough, a little too rowdy for the summer of love now he's looking for a reason to believe and he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino and he's growin' out his sideburns, and he's wearin' platform shoes and he's drivin on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno and he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues he got himself married at seventeen; she looked real pretty but she talked kinda mean he thought they'd work things out in the fullness of time well twenty years later he's headed south, the close-range victim of her sawed-off mouth leavin' their salad days behind and he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino and he's growin' out his sideburns, and he's wearin' platform shoes and he's drivin on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno and he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues Well Lord have mercy on the workin' stiff, pullin' graveyards and double-shifts tryin' to hold his own beside the pretty and the bright givin' up the dream of his own backyard, and jugglin' taxes and credit cards now he's rollin' like a ghost train through the night and he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino and he's growin' out his sideburns, and he's wearin' platform shoes and he's drivin on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno and he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues and he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues yes he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues
