Closed Down Mill

[Verse 1]
There's a blues band on stage playing our song
I should've known by that there was something going wrong
You can't get a drink here unless it comes from the waiter
But the waiter's got a dance he calls the alligator

[Refrain]
I try to love you but you won't stand still
I can't get no grinding at a closed down mill

[Verse 2]
I want to take you out cruising, want to sing 'til you swoon
But my car and my guitar are both out of tune
If they torched this bar and a couple other joints
It'd raise the IQ in this town by twenty seven points

[Refrain]
I want to love you but you won't stand still
I can't get no grinding at a closed down mill

[Verse 3]
Take a look at the bouncer, his body's all bent
He ain't drawn a sober breath since Jimmy Carter was the president
He's talking to some girls into a double twist
How do we always end up in a bar like this?

[Refrain]
I need to love you but you won't stand still
I can't get no grinding at a closed down mill

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Perpetual motion must be going around
Now that summer has come to this hot beach town
Let's get out in the sun, eat an ice cream cone
Won't have any fun 'til I get you alone

[Refrain]
I got to love you but you won't stand still
I can't get no grinding at a closed down mill

[Verse 5]
So listen here, darling, ain't too proud to beg
Let's drink us a drink, shake us a leg
Tell me you love me, let me hear that sound
'Cause I'm sticking with you 'til you settle down

[Refrain]
I was born to love you but you won't stand still
I can't get no grinding at a closed down mill

[Guitar Solo]
