I would have gone with you to pick up the trash
I would gone with you to to take out the trash
woulda gone with you to take out the trash
I would have gone with you to take out the trash

I would have gone with you
I would have gone
I would have cleaned up all the parks
I would have fed all the homebums
I would have taken out the trash
I would have fended off the cops
I would have done a lotta things
but you guessed not
I would have done a lotta things
but you guessed not
I would have done a lotta things

I would have fed, I woulda cooked for all the whores
I would have run around in the grass
with the boys and girls
I would have done nothing at all
if that’s how it called me to show up
that time

And that’s why you thought not
and I stayed behind
but then you found someone
you thought that you could
dig beside
you thought not
so I stayed behind oh
but you found someone
that you thought
you could work beside

I would have raised your little girl
woulda nursed her if I could try
she’d never go hungry
no not on my watch
and she’d never lack to be outside
lack to be outside
to be outside

little girls need sunshine
need a mama’s touch
need a daddy’s side (4x)

so here I sit where we used to look out
here I sit just punching the pedal
here I sit where we used to look out
i’m just pumping the pedal
hoping for something good to fall out

I wouldn’t have made you settle down
I woulda kept it real, kept it on the road
I would have been there
I would have seen her
I would have been on your side
I would have figured it out, some way

And when you’re out there
on the street, somewhere
hope you think of me
but I know you’re dreaming of
a little-er girl

I hope you’ll think of me
when you’re dreaming of her

I know one day you’ll be beside her
but still hope you’ll think of me
when you’re dreaming next to her.
