Fake It Lyrics by Steve Everett

Central Standards

0

(Steve Everett)
[Verse 1]
I dress like I'm famous and talk like I'm cool
I'm not sure it's more for me or for you
I'm wearing all black in the middle of June
I've got my jeans rolled up just to show off my boots
(Steve Everett)
[Chorus]
I'm dressed for success
I'm going for gold
I'd rather strike out on three straight pitches than have regrets when I get older
You can't wait to feel like someone til the world discovers you
I'd rather fake it til I make it than make due
I'd rather fake it until I make that just get through
(Steve Everett)
[Verse 2]
I'm renting a room in a house downtown
I can't afford booze but there're bars all around
I don't have but one bulb not burned out
But I've got a cool spot when my friends come down
(Steve Everett)
[Bridge]
Not an awful lot would change
If I had one song on the radio waves
Probably pay my bills on time and have a lot more light at night
And buy myself a new guitar or two
(Steve Everett)
[Chorus]
I'm dressed for success
I'm going for gold
I'd rather strike out on three straight pitches than have regrets when I get older
You can't wait to feel like someone til the world discovers you
I'd rather fake it til I make it than make due
I'd rather fake it until I make that just get through
