People say that I'm high class
But I'm low down all the while
People think that I'm crazy
When I flash that California smile
(Yeah) But I can still paint the town
All the colours of your evening gown
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey
People say I'm a drinker
But I'm sober half the time
People say I'm a loser
But I get lucky on the side
All my life I waited for
Someone who would show me where the bliss
is
All my life I waited for
Someone who would take me past the kissing
People say I'm a loner
I like to get lost in the crowds
People call me a dresser
I wear my sports clothes way too loud
Yeah but I can still paint this town
I can shake it and turn it upside down
While I'm waiting for your blonde hair
To turn grey

I didn't want to do too much of a pastiche on that, I wanted it to be very straight country style. I think Rick Rubin was slightly mystified by that. (laughs) I don't think he'd ever made a country record... I had some experience making that kind of music, he didn't have any.
(The line about being sober half the time)
was sort of a joke. You know how journalists, particularly the more tabloid
press, always try to pin you down to being one particular kind of person.
People said I was wild, then I was sober, then I was this, then I was that.
