The Bottle Rockets - Cartoon Wisdom [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm trying to get smarter and live the right way
Ain't there yet but I'll be someday
Don't mean to say I ain't got to change
But some things about me are gonna stay the same
I like Popeye the sailor man
He's a smart guy, "I am what I am"
Just doing my best to get something right
I dig cartoons in the morning
And my baby at night
My baby at night

I've hit some hard walls with my soft head
Had some accidents that shoulda left me dead
I been in love and had my heart broke
I've lived my life like it's some kind of joke
But I like Popeye the sailor man
He's a smart guy, "I am what I am"
Just doing my best to get something right
I dig cartoons in the morning
And my baby at night
My baby at night

Wisdom can come in some very strange ways
That's a little lesson I'm learning these days
The road is long and my time is short
Just trying to keep my mule ahead of my cart
But I like Popeye the sailor man
He's a smart guy, "I am what I am"
Just doing my best to get something right
I dig cartoons in the morning
And my baby at night
My baby at night
My baby at night
My baby at night
