Lyrics:

I've been looking for a way to Put my troubles in the rear view, And maybe catch a clear view Of what's down the line. And the nights are getting colder. I'm looking over my shoulder. And every day I'm getting older, Falling further behind. I'm gonna take the high road. Take it anywhere that I go. It isn't easy, but I'll try, though, To be the best I can be. Gonna take the long way, 'Cause I don't wanna go the wrong way. And at the end of any long day. [Your smile looks sexy to me?] All right! And I've been spending all my free time Getting crooked on cheap wine. I'm looking ragged, but I feel fine. I'm just living the dream. Save your money for the weekend. We'll be going off the deep end. 'Cause everybody's got a reason. For blowing off steam. I'm gonna take the high road. Take it anywhere that I go. It isn't easy, but I'll try, though, To be the best I can be. Gonna take the long way, 'Cause I don't wanna go the wrong way. And at the end of any long day. [Your smile looks sexy to me?] All right! Yeah, I'm all right.

Lyrics:

Brooklyn girls know all the latest fashions Brooklyn girls wear big sunglasses Brooklyn girls with the attitude always acting rude Gotta be out on the scene Brooklyn girls, why you gotta be so mean Chorus: Why you gotta be so mean Why you gotta be so mean Brooklyn girls, why you gotta be so mean? Brooklyn girls drink pabst blue ribbon Brooklyn girls are sophisticated women Brooklyn girls with the icy stares and the styled hair Gotta be out on the scene Brooklyn girls, why you gotta be so mean? Chorus I been to Alaska where the frigid girls make their home I been to Nebraska where the vicious farmers' daughters roam But it's easy to see, yea take it from me If you want a girl that's really mean, look no further than the Brooklyn scene Brooklyn girls are angry lookin' Brooklyn girls are not from Brooklyn Brooklyn girls with the attitude always acting rude Gotta be out on the scene Brooklyn girls, why you gotta be so mean Chorus
