  • Give me twenty-five dollars
    And drive me around downtown
    Solve all my problems
    Don't let me lose what I've found
    Give me good lovin'
    And seal it with a kiss
    Then drop me off where the music's loud
    But it won't get no better than this

    Take me to a party
    Where I'm the only man
    With fifty women waitin' on me
    Who say they understand
    Feed me milk and honey
    Give me a story that I'll never miss
    Let me get one good night's sleep
    But it won't get no better than this

    Give me clear vision
    And don't let me miss anything
    I'll take the bird that whistles
    And the world on a string
    Fill my fist full of money
    In these troubled times
    And let me share the water
    With all, all of mankind

    Give me back my youth
    And don't let me waste it this time
    Stand me up at the golden gates
    At the front of the line
    Let me lie in the sunshine
    Covered in the morning mist
    Then show me something I ain't never seen
    But it won't get no better than this Writer/s: JOHN MELLENCAMP
