Letra de Frank To Valentino

They raised him up on the installment plan -- the homely son of a handsome man
Neither clear-complected nor expected to achieve
A little bit ragged, a little big rough, a little too rowdy for the summer of love
Now he's looking for a reason to believe
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino
And he's growin' out his sideburns, and he's wearin' platform shoes
And he's drivin on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues
He got himself married at seventeen; she looked real pretty but she talked kinda mean
He thought they'd work things out in the fullness of time
Well twenty years later he's headed south, the close-range victim of her sawed-off mouth
Leavin' their salad days behind
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino
And he's growin' out his sideburns, and he's wearin' platform shoes
And he's drivin on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues
Well Lord have mercy on the workin' stiff, pullin' graveyards and double-shifts
Tryin' to hold his own beside the pretty and the bright
Givin' up the dream of his own backyard, and jugglin' taxes and credit cards
Now he's rollin' like a ghost train through the night
And he's changed his name from Frank to Valentino
And he's growin' out his sideburns, and he's wearin' platform shoes
And he's drivin on the midnight road from Medford down to Reno
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues
And he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues
Yes he thinks he's found a way to cure his workin' blues
