Rewrite

I've been workin' on my rewrite, that's right
I'm gonna change the ending
Gonna throw away the title
And toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
Is just for workin' on my rewrite, that's right
I'm gonna turn it into cash

I been workin' at the car wash
I consider it my day job
'Cause it's really not a pay job
But that's where I am
Everybody says "The old guy
Workin' at the car wash?"
Hasn't got a brain cell left
Since Vietnam"

But I say
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Thank you
I'd no idea
That you were there

When I said
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Oh, thank you
For listening to my prayer

I've been workin' on my rewrite, that's right
I'm gonna change the ending
Gonna throw away the title
And toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
Is just for workin' on my rewrite, that's right
I'm gonna turn it into cash

I'll eliminate the pages
Where the father has a breakdown
And he has to leave the family
But he really meant no harm
Gonna substitute a car chase
And a race across the rooftops
When the father saves the children
And he holds them in his arms

And I said
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Thank you
I'd no idea
That you were there

When I said
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Oh, thank you
For listening to my prayer
