Back to Coeur dAlene
by James McMurtry
Verse 1
Carlton locked the keys in the Camaro
Liked to tore the handle off the door
Might could come to visit in the mornin’
Said we’re not in trouble anymore
Said we’re not in trouble anymore
Verse 2
Windin’ down the Pasadena Freeway
They’re whinin’ ‘bout the price o’ gasoline
Tryin’ to get someone to read my screenplay
Ain’t a-goin’ back to Coeur d’Alene
Ain’t a-goin’ back to Coeur d’Alene
Chorus
Gotta get known, gotta get known, gotta get known
Gotta get known, gotta get known, gotta get known
Gotta get known, gotta gotta gotta get known
Verse 3
Hangin’ at the cabin in Topanga
Tryin’ to stick a hatchet in a tree
Mikey said he liked to lost a finger
Don’t know what it had to do with me
Don’t know what it had to do with me
Verse 4
Carlton says we’re all a buncha schmoozers
Tryin’ to find me a director and a crew
Science documentary producer
Prob’ly ‘bout the best we’re gonna do
Prob’ly ‘bout the best we’re gonna do
Chorus
Gotta get known, gotta get known, gotta get known
Gotta get known, gotta get known, gotta get known
Gotta get known, gotta gotta gotta get known
Bridge
Why do I feel like a criminal, for takin’ a good long shot?
If my chances are minimal
I’ve still given it all I got
Why do I feel like a criminal?
Why do I feel like a criminal?
Why do I feel like a criminal?
Verse 5
Mama'd get to drinkin’, call me worthless
She lost a couple uncles in the war
When I said I’m never goin’ in the service
Mama never talked to me no more
Mama never talked to me no more
Chorus
Gotta get known, gotta get known, gotta get known
Gotta get known, gotta get known, gotta get known
Gotta get known, gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get known
Verse 1
Carlton locked the keys in the Camaro
Liked to tore the handle off the door
Might could come to visit in the mornin’
Said we’re not in trouble anymore
Said we’re not in trouble anymore
