Live:My Truck Is My Home

Marshall Crenshaw Live:My Truck Is My Home Lyrics
1.Wanda And Duane

(d. alvin)
Blue horned toad music (bmi)

(i think i cut myself)
Wanda met duane in a local bar
Next to an industrial park
Duane didn't like the clothes that she wore
But she felt so good in the dark
After a few days they said 'why wait'
And wanda moved in to stay
Into duane's apartment on the second floor
Next to the 605 freeway
They made love in the mornin'
Love in the evenin', love in the afternoon
But all good things have got to come to an end
Even in a warm bedroom
Duane got tired of hearing her voice
And wanda got sick of his breath
Pretty soon they never said a word before falling asleep
On opposite sides of the bed
Oh ain't it a shame
There ain't no one to blame
When love just slips away
And only the lovers remain
Ain't it a shame
There ain't no one to blame
So the names have been changed
To protect wanda and duane
Wanda joined a gym but she never went
'cause it was just too far away
Duane held the tv remote control
And smoked three packs a day
Wanda thought that undercover she might take a lover
But you know that she never did
Duane fell in love with all the naked girls
In the magazines that he hid
Oh ain't it a shame
There ain't no one to blame
When love just slips away
And only the lovers remain
Ain't it a shame
There ain't no one to blame
So the names have been changed
To protect wanda and duane
Wanda was starin' out the front door
At the trees blowin' in the wind
She said 'maybe someday i'm gonna blow out that door
And not blow back in again'
Duane was starin' out the bedroom window
At the leaves falling from the tree
Said 'maybe someday i'm gonna jump out that window
And not say goodbye when i leave'
Ain't it a shame
There ain't no one to blame
When love just slips away
And only the lovers remain
Ain't it a shame
There ain't no one to blame
So the names have been changed
To protect wanda and duane
I said there ain't no one to blame
So we changed our names to wanda and duane


2.You're My Favorite Waste Of Time

(m. crenshaw)
Mhc music (ascap) admin. by bug

You're my
You're my favorite waste of time
You're my
You're my favorite waste of time
Here i am
I'm playin' daydreamin' fool again
You're my favorite game
And you are the one
Whose got my head in the clouds above
You're the one i love
Yeah you're my
Yeah you're my favorite waste of time
You're my
You're my favorite waste of time
I don't care
If being with you is meaningless and ridiculous
If it's wrong or right
I've got to give you my love tonight
And tomorrow night
Cause you're my...


3.Vague Memory

(m. crenshaw)
House of greed/screen gems (ascap)

You gave me a reason, to laugh when i was down
And you are all i feel for, you're all i care for in this town
Where we would have to die to survive
I know we would feel more alive
If of this could be, a vague memory
A vague memory may never go away
But it won't bring you down day after day
For those who can't feel what a young heart can feel
This place holds something familiar and real
But for you and me, it's a vague memory
A vague memory may never go away
But it won't bring you down day after day
For those who can't feel what a young heart can feel
This place holds something familiar and real
But for you and me, it's a vague memory
Yes, for you and me, it's a vague memory
It's a vague memory
A vague memory


4.Tonight

(r. tyner, w. kramer, f. smith)
Motor city music, cotillion music (bmi)

Sittin' in the classroom feel your heart thumpin'
Start to get the feelin'
Your head begins to reel n'
You can't hear what the teacher say
Because the news is going down
'bout the rock and roll band in town
And you know you just gotta hear that band play
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Oh tonight
On tuesday comes a letter
Well the army thinks i better
Get myself down there right away
Well it's not that i'm lazy
But i'm just too crazy
To go do things that way
'cause the kids will be in town and the jams are goin' down
Gotta do things the natural way
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Oh tonight
Everyday, gonna hear them say
Gonna get down in the usa tonight
Ok kids...it's rockin' time!!
Everyday, gonna hear them say
Gonna get down in the usa tonight
The sun starts goin' down
Call my girl up on the phone
Said i'll pick you up at 8
At last we'll be alone
I hop in my machine
You know i've gotta make the scene
But i'm dancin' to the ground
There's people going wild
When the band's really rockin' and there's no stoppin'
The room begins to whirl
The room begins to twirl
It's outta this world
It's outta this world
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
Oh tonight
And then the man on the record says 'hey now everybody
I gotta get movin', i gotta go downtown and hustle me up
Some ack-shun' oh well i'll see you all later...
Well bye bye
Bye

7.Have You Seen Her Face

(c. hillman)
Tickson music (bmi)

Have you seen her face
Her eyes reflect the colors in the sky
A warm familiar place to be swept into
Whenever she's close by
Makes me wonder why

Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from the look in her eye

Must be the way she walks
A style made up to capture all she needs
No time to spend on this talk
If your luck runs right she might see you tonight
Everything in sight

Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from the look in her eye

Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye

You'll find you're locked in her spell
All the sights and sounds your senses will be found
And only time will tell
How much love can be to wait so patiently
Wait and see
Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye


8.Knowing Me, Knowing You

(b. andersson, s. andersson, b. ulvaeus)
Polygram international (ascap)

No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house with tears in my eyes
Here's where the story ends
This is goodbye

Knowing me and knowing you (uh-huh)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (uh-huh)
We just have to face it this time we're through
(this time we're through)
Breaking up is never easy i know but i have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best i can do

Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be, with me, always
This old familiar room where children would play
Holds only emptiness
Nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you (uh-huh)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (uh-huh)
We just have to face it this time we're through
(this time we're through)
Breaking up is never easy i know but i have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best i can do
Repeat
