Monkey Shine - Head East

Most of my life has been hit and run

Look for me two times and the second time I’m gone

Throwing stones at your window

Hanging by my toes from your tree

Keep me out any longer, girl

You’ll make a monkey out of me

People you meet

Up and down the line

All wondering why

You can’t stop on a dime

Only thing to do

Is just let your monkey shine

I’m looking for a girl from Alabama

Bottle of whiskey from Tennessee

Well, there’s a warm wind blowing around me

But, I’m cold and lonely

And I need some company

People you meet

Up and down the line

All wondering why

You can’t stop on a dime

Only thing to do

Is just let your monkey shine

I’m looking for a girl from Alabama

Bottle of whiskey from Tennessee

Well, there’s a warm wind blowing around me

But, I’m cold and lonely

And I need some company

Yeah, I need some company
