"The Go Getter" lyrics - THE BLACK KEYS

[Chorus:]
The go-getter
I'll be the go-getter
Yes I am, I will be the go-getter
That's my plan, the go-getter

Hi-fi boom box
Pretty girl in bobby socks
After party in a hotel room
Pretty soon there will be no moon

Stumble home in the pourin' rain
Let the water ease my worried brain
Some days I just can't get along
I need a head to lean my shoulders on

[Pre-Chorus:]
Palm trees, the flat broke disease
And L.A. has got me on my knees
I am the bluest of blues
Every day, a different, different way to lose

[Chorus:]
The go-getter
The go-getter
The go-getter

I got a table at the Rainbow Room
I told my wife I would be home soon
Big ships are approaching the docks
I got my hi-fi boom box

Mashed potatoes in cellophane
I see my life goin' down the drain
Hold me baby and don't let go
Pretty girls help to soften the blow

[Pre-Chorus:]
Palm trees, the flat broke disease
And L.A. has got me on my knees
I am the bluest of blues
Every day, a different way to lose

[Chorus:]
The go-getter, the go-getter
The go-getter, I'll be the go-getter
That's my plan, that's who I am
The go-getter, the go-getter
