I Think You Know What I Mean lyrics

Artist  : Gov`t Mule 
Song : I Think You Know What I Mean
 


He was a cowboy in an Indian bar
Not a real
cowboy - but I think you know what I mean
She
wasn’t no movie star, but then again
She
wasn’t exactly green

He said “like it
hot?”
She said “I like it on fire”
He
said “ready or not”
She said “I’m
ready, baby
Come on, I’m ready, baby, make
me out a liar”
And the walls exploded into a
white smoke-screen
Well, not exactly - but I
think you know what I mean

She was a
country girl - never been no where
Straight
from the woods - I think you know what I
mean
Told her sister she was out of
there
Next stop Hollywood - barely
seventeen

And a voice said “Need a
job?”
She cried “desperately”
It
whispered “bow your head”
She said “oh
Lord,
I never thought that this could happen
to me”
And her spirit kind of floated away
in a muddy slip stream
Well, not exactly -
but, I think you know what I mean

He was a
movie star turned president, not like Eisenhower
or DeNiro
But, I think you know what I
mean
Tried to convince us he was heaven
sent
With that carny smile and a missile in
his sleeve

He says “feed the poor”
yeah, feed ‘em to the lions
We’re
screaming “even up the score”
He’s
screaming back, now, “we’re number one, and
we ain’t even trying
And, now, ain’t you
proud to be part of the American
dream?”
Well, not exactly - I think you know
what I mean
I think you know what I mean
I
think you know what I mean
