Lyrics
I was workin' at the car wash
21th and Blair
You nearly ran your Lexus over me.
When I took your keys-you touched my hand
Instant electricity!!
You pretended not to notice
But I thought you might'a smiled
When you stuffed that twenty in my tipping jar
I spent thirty minutes rubbing Minwax on the hood of your fine car...
(CHORUS)
That's what you get for lovin' me
A simple man from cross the tracks, who'll wash your car for free...
A long shot, hard luck, good ol' boy who'll love you endlessly...
That's what you get for lovin' me.
The summer passed in seconds
Like a Technicolor dream
I kept that fancy Lexus spotless clean
On your leather backseat we made love
We were one heart, you and me!!
But now you're off to college and I owe Uncle Sam
Baghdad is the place my debt gets paid
And I know our love will only grow, as we go our separate ways...
(CHORUS)
I'm riding Humvees, dodgin' IED's
With your picture in my pack...
Even though I'm riskin' everything
Believe me, girl... I'm comin' back, whoa I'm comin' back!!!
That's what you get for lovin' me
A simple man from cross the tracks, who'll wash your car for free...
A long shot, hard luck, good ol' boy who'll love you endlessly
That's what you get...my life is all I've got my love
And that's what you get for lovin' me.
