HOW 'BOUT YOU
written by john common

hey baby
this must be your day
I got a feeling 'bout the 3 dog
and I think we've got it made
I've got my lucky rock
I hold it in my hand
all we need's a little green
to take us to the promised land

my mother was a gypsy
my father was a king
I was born in mississippi
near new orleans
I grew up in the fields
cuttin' cane all day
it didn't take too many summers
before I hopped a train

it's a trifecta moon
I'm feeling lucky…
how 'bout you?

I feel a streak comin'
it's coming like a train
it calls me like my mama
by my christian name
you could live a hundred years
and never feel like this
I got the hand of god upon me
and I know that I can't miss

when the dog comes in
we won't scream and shout
play it cool up at the window
let him pay us out
we can live like kings
throw money to the wind
then go back to the track
and do it all over again

it's a trifecta moon
I'm feeling lucky…
how 'bout you?
how 'bout you?
I just need a little green
how 'bout you?
I'm gonna take us to the promised land
I'm gonna take us to the promised land
come on baby

Confession: I like broken shit. I’m just drawn to it. Always have been. I like it even more if it used to be shiny, beautiful, innocent or full of promise. See, the way down is so interesting to me. The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
