The Ike Reilly Assa**ination - It's Hard To Make Love To An American lyrics

It's hard to make love in this city With your free-loading family around With your momma and your daddy And your sister who's so chatty Watching every move I take And your auntie who's so batty Grabs every buck I make And your uncle in that ratty Jacket'd be rich by now if only had he Taken my advice And stayed out of the light It's hard to make it with you And to not make a sound It's hard to make love in this American town Good night to Philadelphia Good night to New Orleans Good night to Minneapolis Chicago and D.C. It's hard to make it with you And to not get real loud It's hard to make love in this American town Hey hey, hey hey Baby likes to make it near the water With the fishmongers all looking on She got one foot in the skiff One foot on the shore My left hand's up her skirt And my right hand pulls the oar Rowing 'round and around And around and around It's hard to make love in this seaside town Good night to Portland, Oregon Great Lakes, Illinois Providence, Rhode Island Good night to all the boys In Mystic and Waukegan Sturgeon Bay and Puget Sound It's hard to make love in this American town Hey hey, hey hey Meet me, baby, out near the grinder Be easier to want you if you're drunk Get your junk upon my bunk Put one foot on my trunk Keep one foot on the floor Press your palm against the door Before my duty calls Before the sentry comes Help me get the blousing On my boots undone 'Cause it's hard to make love with these fatigues on Good night to Camp Felton Good night to Camp Lejeune Good night to Fort Leavenworth And Quantico too Good night, fair times Farewell, rich men It's hard to make love to an American Hey hey hey, hey hey hey Hey hey hey, hey hey hey Good night to Philadelphia Good night to New Orleans Good night to the Upper Mississippi River Valley Good night and fair times Got my head bowed down It's hard to make love to an American now It's hard to make love to an American now It's hard to make love to an American It's hard to make love to an American
