Outside a country store
there's a board on the wall
that's filled with cards of every size.
What the folks are looking for
is written there to see,
reading it it comes as no surprise.
But everybody's looking
for the same thing,
the same thing it's plain to see.
It's an old Chevy, bass player,
a country house on three acres,
three bedrooms absolutely free.
Now there's someone going to Boston
with a guitar and a dog
and a lady with a goat to give away.
There's ten free kittens,
a square dance on Sunday and Sunday.
Cindy, please get in touch with
Ray.
Now I know your future, it's in the stars
Fifteen dollars, fix my car
You can call mornings or evenings until nine
Do you want to lose weight, meditate
Herbal remedies you can take
Massages given at your house or mine
Everybody's looking
for the same thing
Same thing it's plain to see
And what is it?
It's an old Chevy, a bass player
A country house on three acres
Three bedrooms, absolutely free
So if you're needing something
And you don't know where to start
Just make yourself a card that says it all
Use the word to say it best,
include a number and a dressing
Pin it up with the others on the wall
Cause everybody's looking
for the same thing
The same thing it's plain to see
It's an old Chevy, bass player,
a country house on three acres
Three bedrooms, absolutely free
