MONKEY WRENCH  (Up On Blocks  2002)

You threw a monkey wrench into my heart
Then you drained all my love just to fill up your getaway car
And you ripped my heart in two just to patch up your new favorite blue jeans

We went to see TopGun in '86 or was it '85
And when Goose died well there was tears in your eyes
And I thought to myself - Now what a sensitive guy
Then you held my hand I held my breath when you said

You swore you'd never throw a monkey wrench into my heart
You'd never drain all my love just to fill up your getaway car
You'd never rip my heart in two just to patch up your new favorite blue jeans

Then I saw you at that homecoming football game
With some cheap cheerleader from the eigth grade
And to think I was gonna forgive you for ridin' her at your own private homecomin' parade
Then I heard the rumor about that corsage as big as a tumor

You threw a monkey wrench into my heart
Then you stole that spark just to jump your getaway car
And you ripped my heart in two just to patch up your new favorite blue jeans
You threw a monkey wrench into my heart
Well now my heart is up on blocks in my front yard
Cause you try to rip it right in two just to patch up your new favorite blue jeans
