Pretty Smart On My Part - Phil Ochs

I can see him coming

He’s walking down the highway

With his big boots on

And his big thumb out

He wants to get me

He wants to hurt me

He wants bring me down

But Sometime later when I’m feel a little straighter

I will come across a stranger

Who’ll remind me of the danger

And then I’ll run him over

Pretty smart on my part

Find my way home in the dark

I can see her coming

Sure looks pretty

Her breasts are bold

And her mouth is large

She wants to get me

She wants to hurt me

She wants to bring me down

But sometime later when I feel a little naked

I will lead her to altar

Then I’ll tie her all in leather

Then I’m gonna whip her

Pretty smart on my part

Find my way home in the dark

I can see him coming

He’s walking through bedroom

With a switchblade knife

He’s looking at my wife

He wants to get me

He wants to hurt me

He wants to bring me down

But sometime later when I feel a little braver

I’ll go hunting with my rifle

Where the wild geese are flying

Then I’m gonna bag one

Pretty smart on my part

Find my way home in the dark

I can see them coming

They’re training in the mountains

And they talk chinese

And they spread disease

They want to get me

They want to hurt me

They want bring me down

But sometime later when I feel a little safer

We’ll assasinate the president

And take over the government

And then we’re going to fry them

Pretty smart on my part

Find my way home in the dark
