Steve McQueen
Well I went to bed in Memphis
And I woke up in Hollywood
I got a quarter in my pocket
And I’d call you if I could
But I don’t know why
I gotta fly
And I woke up in Hollywood
I got a quarter in my pocket
And I’d call you if I could
But I don’t know why
I gotta fly
I want to rock and roll this party
I still want to have some fun
I want to leave you feeling breathless
Show you how the west was won
But I gotta fly
I gotta fly
I still want to have some fun
I want to leave you feeling breathless
Show you how the west was won
But I gotta fly
I gotta fly
Like Steve McQueen
All I need’s a fast machine

Baby that was yesterday
I’m an all American rebel
Making my big getaway
Yeah you know it’s time

We got rock stars in the White House
All our pop stars look like porn
All my heroes hit the highway
They don’t hang out here no more
All our pop stars look like porn
All my heroes hit the highway
They don’t hang out here no more
You can try me on my cell phone
You can page me all night long
But you won’t catch this free bird
I’ll already be long gone
You can page me all night long
But you won’t catch this free bird
I’ll already be long gone
Like Steve McQueen
All we need’s a fast machine
And we’re gonna make it all right

Free Fallin' 
Nice song Free Fallin’, Sheryl Crow is real easy on the eyes and she can rock. I skipped school with my friends when Bullitt came out and we all saw it in the theater and loved it.
