Story about a boy's journey through life and how kissing a girl will make a man do a lot of crazy things.
Anything For a Kiss
verse 1
When I was a nine year old boy
my big brother took my fool's gold coin
he brought it back all chipped n wet
told me he was sorry then said...
"me n Janet Lee, went to the quarry tonight
I said an armored car had crashed n sunk out of sight
if I stripped to my hips, and took a thirty foot dive
would she kiss me, if I came back alive
pre-chorus:
I came up with your coin in my hand
she kissed me, and someday you'll understand
Chorus:
cos I've lifted Dad's barbells over my chest
hopin' that gal'd be impressed
played chicken with midnight freights
hopin' she'd suck a little face
made crazy plans...took ev'ry chance or risk
she's in my dreams and I'd do anything for a kiss"
verse 2
well, I got home late when I was just fifteen
and Dad asked what happened to his Jim Beam
I said "Dad, before you whip off your belt
I didn't drink that whiskey myself
I was with Peggy Smith and we were out for a walk
took her by a junkyard...fed your bourbon to the dog
we steamed up some ol' truck that'd been in a wreck
you can almost see the hickeys, even on my red neck
pre-chorus:
Dad fought a smile when I said
"she's worth any whuppin' I get
Chorus:
cos I've lifted your barbells over my chest
hopin' that gal'd be impressed
played chicken with midnight freights
hopin' she'd suck a little face
made crazy plans...took ev'ry chance or risk
she's in my dreams and I'd do anything for a kiss"
now it's my one day off, 'n' I should be watchin' the play-offs
but I got a honey-do-list
fix the roof...fix the dog, mow the lawn...the sink is clogged
cos she knows I'll do anything........ for a kiss
anything for a kiss
anything for a kiss...
