Lyrics
DESPERATE MEASURES
I CHANGED THE WAY I CUT MY HAIR
BOUGHT MYSELF NEW CLOTHES TO WEAR
WENT FROM 86 T0 100 PROOF
THE THINGS WE HAD THAT WE LOVED SO MUCH
ARE GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN A GOODWILL TRUCK
DESPERATE MEASURES
TO GET OVER YOU
I KNOW THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
I CHANGED EVERYTHING BUT MY NAME
SITTIN? ON GO WITH NOTHING ELSE TO LOSE
MAYBE I?M WRONG OR JUST CONFUSED
BUT I DON?T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO
DESPERATE MEASURES
TO GET OVER YOU
I?M A MAN ON A MISSION
I?M TAKING A TOUR
THE GIRLS LOOK PRETTY
IN THE TRAVEL BROCHURES
I GOT HALF A NOTION TO GO ON A CRUISE
IN ANOTHER PLACE I?LL BE ANOTHER MAN
DRINKING MARGARITAS WITH MY TOES IN THE SAND
DESPERATE MEASURES
TO GET OVER YOU
(CHORUS)
