PRIORITIES CHANGE
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Sung by Mark White)
We used to drag race for "pink slips", or car titles, back in the old days. This song was fun to write because of the internal rhyme scheme...and I love the spelling of 'altared', and the line "when a kid wakes up.."
PRIORITIES CHANGE
PICKIN’ UP LONGNECKS..NECKIN’ IN THE PICKUP
DRAGGIN’ DOWN THE MAINSTRIP, PINK SLIPS BEING EXCHANGED
MAN, WE WAS DERANGED
BUT NOW I’M CRAZY BOUT YOU AND PRIORITIES CHANGE
NOTHIN’ BUT ICE AND KETCHUP IN THE ICEBOX
GOTTA CATCH UP WITH MY DIRTY SOX ‘FORE THEY RUN AWAY
ONE OF THESE DAYS
NOW I’M CLEANIN’ MY ACT UP..PRIORITIES CHANGE
CAUSE I BEEN DREAMIN’ BOUT BABIES, BACKYARDS, MOTHERS-IN-LAW
COMIN’ OVER ON SUNDAY…ONE DAY I EVEN SAW A SEE-SAW
SOMEHOW I’VE FOUND EVERYTHING’S REARRANGED
CAUSE I LOVE YOU AND PRIORITIES CHANGE
NOW WE’RE PICKIN’ UP PAMPERS NECKIN’ IN THE CAMPER
MET MY MATCH AND I’VE ALTARED MY BACHELOR WAYS
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY
WHEN A KID WAKES UP AND PRIORITIES CHANGE
WELL I STILL PLAY CARDS AND I STILL PLAY BALL
AND I STILL GOT FRIENDS AND WE’RE ALL STILL A LITTLE INSANE
BUT I’M A LITTLE MORE TAME
CAUSE I’M WILD ABOUT YOU AND PRIORITIES CHANGE
