Lyrics

With thanks to Brad, for encouraging my inner Scotsman. Aye!

I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)

When this show’s canceled, TK’s Elba’s gonna be
It’s gonna be the spot outside the Browse About
There at Rehoboth, on the boardwalk just outside
He’ll pick a spot from which he’ll grouse and moan and shout

He’s got a nice home, least I assume it’s gotta be
It’s got a lift for when he drinks too much red wine
Drives his two seater for nights at the country club,
Its there that trivia nights just put him on cloud nine

His Solstice has 6000 miles
And he hardly drives it anymore
Thinks he’ll sell that car for more than he paid
To some rube who lives at the shore

He’s Mr Tony and you know he’s gonna be
He’s gonna be the man who wants free stuff from you
When he calls Marriott, yeah you know he’s gonna be
That nightmare call that Trevor wished had not gone through

Stayed at the hotel, way back in 1993
(Stayed at the hotel)
He’s the man who still wants those points to accrue
And if you tell him that’s just not our policy
He’s gonna be the man who's shouting back at you

Even though they gave him hotel points
He still needs 300 thousand more
All for a free grill he could just go plunk down
Straight cash homey at the store

Blah da blah blah, blah da blah blah…..
