Rewrite

I've been workin' on my rewrite, that's right

I'm gonna change the ending

Gon' throw away the title and toss it in the trash

Every minute after midnight, all the time I'm spending

Is just for workin' on my rewrite, that's right

I'm gonna turn it into cash

I been workin' at the car wash, I consider it my day job

'Cause it's really not a pay job but that's where I am

Everybody says, "The old guy workin' at the car wash

Hasn't got a brain cell left since Vietnam"

But I say help me, help me, help me, help me

Thank you, I'd no idea that you were there

When I said help me, help me, help me, help me

Whoa, thank you for listening to my prayer

I'm workin' on my rewrite, that's right

I'm gonna change the ending

Gon' throw away my title and toss it in the trash

Every minute after midnight all the time I'm spending

Is just for workin' on my rewrite, that's right

I'm gonna turn it into cash

I'll eliminate the pages where the father has a breakdown

And he has to leave the family but he really meant no harm

Gonna substitute a car chase and a race across the rooftops

When the father saves the children and he holds them in his arms

And I said help me, help me, help me, help me

Thank you, I'd no idea that you were there

When I said help me, help me, help me, help me

Whoa, thank you for listening to my prayer

Workin' on my rewrite
