Heres to all you lucky dogs its heads or tails
Heres to all you filthy rich I wish you well
Heres to all the pretty women made for cash
And heres to dashing daddys son hes such a flash
Well I been lookin and walkin round the sunset square
Singin and talkin with my friends down there
Sittin and listenin with a young mans ear
To all the rainbow dreams
Heres to all the shitty jobs that I despise
Heres to two bit guarantees and other lies
Heres to roads of burning tar and hot cement
Heres to money in my hand and where it went
I got my fingers a tapping on the hard stone steps
Im waiting for lightning and the rains to fall
Young lovers are loafin with their sidewalk smiles
And all their rainbow dreams
Amy Alice in the summer
With a sack lunch and a punch card
See my sister with a drag job
Ah man she feels like shes a hundred years ago
Well heres to people living lives that they regret
Work your fingers to the bone and sink in debt
Heres to all the shaky tricks what hustlers try
You know their easy money is oft times hard
They flash a grin and they wink their eye
I I been livin an breathin in the rat trap town
Tryna get over where the wall breaks down
Holdin my head up with my thin tired arms
And all my rainbow dreams
