Sometimes A Great Notion - John Mellencamp

Never give an inch

That’s what I say, son

When it’s too tough for everybody else

Hell, it’s just right for me

Now, my lips are bleeding

From the selfish things that I’ve done

And my heart it lies at the bottom of the ocean

Sometimes a great notion

(Verse Two)

Wanted to make love to my girl

In the backseat of my car

So, I took her to the drive-in picture show

So, I filled her up with

Lies and a strong love potion

And I’m sittin' here watching the movie alone

Sometimes a great notion

(Verse Three)

Sometimes the best-made plans

Have been known to go astray

So, you better put your seat belt on

Just like your worst headache

Well, a bad day don’t go away

And, you hit the ground running against your emotions

Sometimes a great notion

Sometimes a great notion
