Mad Mission - Patty Griffin

We were drinking like the irish

But we were drinking scotch

Bartender turned on a movie

Everybody turned to watch

And every single eye was gleaming

As he reached the final scene

Well, at least mine did

Heres lookin at you, kid

Its a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it To the loving cup

Its a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Mad, mad mission

Sign me up

I think Ive seen the look before, yes,

Its kind of non-commital

It says come hither, baby, but then hes hard wood to whittle

It says it dont mean a thing, but still, somebody does

Hed like you to join the club that likes to say

Theres no such thing as love and

Its a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it To the loving cup

Its a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Mad, mad mission

Sign me up Sometimes you find yourself

Flying low at night

Flying blind and looking for

Any sign of light

Youre cold and scared, and all alone

Youd do anything just to make it home

Its a mad mission

Under difficult conditions

Not everybody makes it To the loving cup

Its a mad mission

But I got the ambition

Mad, mad mission
