The Take

(앨범: Our Country: Americana Act II - 2018)

Page 13, America is made up of many different cultures
In the midwest, you've gotta be tough
They said we were heading for a storm

I'm gonna get me an icon tonight
I'm gonna find me an icon tonight
I'm gonna see me an icon tonight
I'm gonna take me an icon tonight

I met her at a meet and greet after a show in Minneapolis St. Paul
She was the epitome of rock chick, long slim frame
She must have been 5 foot 10 even without the high heels
She had flowing natural blonde hair that came down to her waist
And piercing blue eyes that gave away her Scandinavian origins
She flicked her hair out of her eyes as she walked down the corridor
Her smile was crisp like a warm Midwest summer
But her eyes were icy cold like a dark Scandinavian winter
And when she spoke there was a broodiness in her voice
A warm smile, then a chill like ice

Because I want you
I'm gonna take you
To make you feel good
I'm gonna shake you
And if I can't come
I'm gonna fake for you
But if you leave me
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna fuck me an icon tonight

This is the way it works
I'm gonna take you, break you

I'm gonna take me an icon tonight

Hello, goodnight to ya'all
Nice to be here in Minneapolis St. Paul
Where Johnny Cash saw his Big River
Then he sat down by the river and cried
Everybody said stay away from that girl
She's a rock and roll chick and where she comes from?

Minnesota, Minnesota
Minnesota in a storm

Hear that power chord slam against the wall
As we're rocking Minneapolis St. Paul
That's where I let my life explode
Then I sat down by the river and cried
Put my life in overload
Took a wrong turn somewhere on the road

Minnesota, Minnesota
Minnesota in a storm

Get me an icon tonight
Gonna find me an icon tonight
Gonna see me an icon tonight
I'm gonna take me an icon tonight

Minnesota
Ah ah ah

And when she spoke there was a broodiness in her voice
A warm smile, then a chill like ice, colder than all the snow in Minnesota

Gotcha
