Lyrics Ten Years After – Working In A Parking Lot

Text:

Well I took this job when I moved to the city last year
There ain’t one thing I need, I’ve got it all right here
Porsches, Ferraris, Mercedes Benz
A lot of pretty women that I call friends

Wrote back home and said I’m doing real good
I’m working in a parking lot in Hollywood

Found a two room shack I guess you’d call it open plan
Got a yard out back that I share with a pool-clean man
Sign read welcome to view, I got no view at all
Looking out the window, staring at the wall
If I could see ’round corners things would look real good
I’m working in a parking lot in Hollywood

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze — don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills

She was one in a million the kind that looks real nice
I thought I’d ask her for some good advice
I saw you getting out that limousine
Looking like you do on the movie screen
You know I’m an actor, people say that I’m good
But I’m working in a parking lot in Hollywood

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze — don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze — don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills

I got all I need to get my thrills
Don’t drink no booze — don’t take no pills
Drive fast cars with big wide wheels
I’m working in a parking lot in Beverly Hills
