Roy Merritt Poet Lyric

He's Looking For You

HE’S LOOKING FOR YOU
By Roy Merritt

The monster goes to the road each day
Ah hopin’ to hitch a ride
He’s puts a grin on his pretty face
A toothy one and wide

Well he sticks out his thumb then 
As he slowly walks along
Sometimes he’s whistlin’ a tune 
sometimes he sings a song

He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you
He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you

Most days it comes a sorry  nuthin’ 
Most times I’m glad to say
But should someone pick him up
It surely makes his day
 
He’ll sure be glad for the company
Be whispering in your ear
Givin’ you some ideas 
You been ponderin’ on for years

He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you
He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you

Now you might like havin’ him there
Might welcome his advice
Might take it for the gospel truth
Never dare think twice

He’s the serpent in the garden of Eden
Temptation is his game
Aiming for your total destruction
Or fillin' you with shame

He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you
He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you

So if you see him on the side of the road
Just keep on going by
Push down hard on that pedal
Let that motor fly

Put that machine in the wind
Leave that sucker cold
For if you pick him up
You just might lose your soul

He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you
He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you

He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you
He’s lookin’ for you, been lookin’ for you
