lyrics

The windows are open as I cruise down highway 35
The radio's playing a song from before I was alive
About a Motown boy and a country girl
Riding on a train to escape their loney worlds
And I'd like to sing along, but the melody is up in the stratosphere
And I won't be able to hit those notes in a million years

'Cause I'm cursed with a baritone voice
I sing down the octave, I don't have a choice
My voice was not meant to fly with Freddie Mercury's up in the sky
'Cause I'm cursed with a baritone voice

If I had a time machine, I'd travel 10 years in the past
I'd tell myself, "You'd better enjoy this range it lasts."
"And you'd better watch out because puberty will hit you before too long."
"Then the only thing you'll have the pipes for is that one Crash Test Dummies song."
Well it's just too bad my flux capacitor's in the shop
So I'll just try to sing "Roxanne" until my blood vessels pop

'Cause I'm cursed with a baritone voice
I sing down the octave, I don't have a choice
My voice was not meant to fly with Geddy Lee's up in the sky
'Cause I'm cursed with a baritone voice

Let's look on the bright side
The positive, as I understand
When I sing, there ain't no question
If I'm a woman or a man

I sing so low

I'm cursed with a baritone voice
I sing down the octave, I don't have a choice
My voice was not meant to fly with Steve Perry's up in the sky
'Cause I'm cursed with a baritone voice
