Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

Check It Out

Million young poets

Screamin' out their words

To a world full of people

Just livin' to be heard

Future generations

Ridin' on the highways that we built

I hope, that they have better understanding

Check it out

Goin' to work on Monday

Check it out

Got yourself a family

Check it out

All utility bills have been paid

You can't tell your best buddy

That you love him

So check it out

Where does our time go

Check it out

Got a brand new house in escrow

Check it out

Sleepin' with your back

To your loved one

This is all, we have learned

About happiness

Check it out,

Forgot to say hello to my neighbours

Check it out

Sometimes I question my own behavior

Check it out

Talkin' about the girls, we've

Seen on the sly

Just to tell our souls

We're still the young lions

So check it out

Getting' too drunk on Saturdays

Check it out

Playin' football with the kids

On Sundays

Check it out

Soaring with the eagles all week long

And this is all, we have learned

About living

This is all, we have learned

About living

A million young poets

Screamin' out their words

Maybe someday

Those words will be heard

By future generations

Ridin' on the highways that we built

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Maybe they'll have a better understanding

Check it out

Hope they'll have a better understanding

Check it out
