Lyrics:
Jones
The very first time I met her I
Saw her from across the room
And instantly we both became consumed by the thought
Of she and I being together
There falls the words of fools about my ears
To hasten by the years the journey that I make through myself
The travelers that pass by me as I wend
room for intruders
Spark Buddha, twistin' the Philly
And Good Humor, don't be silly
It's gravy baby, I got it all smothered
Like makeup, I got it all
a bar room floor a back beat band
Play the kinda music I can understand
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand just might tear it up.
Tear it up hey I
He walked into my bar and looked at me
I asked him now there sir what will it be
He muttered bourbon looked down at the floor
He downed it fast
The barman's looking tired
as he pours my pint of beer,
cigar smoke fills the bar room
and the blues is what I hear.
The telly's playing football
was so nice
Loh' she was lovy-dovy
So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go
I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go
She
to leave this room again
But if you do remember
Please meet me on the corner, out by the lake tonight
You know where the streetlamp turns to silver columns,
She licked the salt, then licked the lime,
Taken shots with her, but I'm sippin' mine
And by the time her and her girls take a flick and sit back
And then she was so nice
Loh' she was lovy-dovy
So I go in my room,
Pack up my things and I go
I slip on out the back door
And down the streets I go
late for us to make it
If we try too hard can we break it
With you by my side I'd be willing to fake it
I'll sing it one more time under the bar room
Now by this time I'm plenty high,
You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
I said "Look
far
Been livin' off tips in them Broadway bars
She's a troubadour queen but time left its mark
The scene's passed her by
In a world that's passed
Eyes across the room
Bending on the bar
Spirits come and go
Smoke lifting high
Gazing underneath
Flirting deep within
With eyes of love
Unlocking
a dusty old room
And the Starlight's got em dancing like a honky-tonk bar
Where they don't care about your world, they don't care about your war
We can
wail in shame
See me wistful in some harbor bar
I tend the warm glass and the dwelling scar
I sing my misappropriation song for lovers land-locked
she was with us so I brought her.
Dun got myself into a whole heap of trouble,
Double crossed by the law so it's nobody to run to,
Yeah it's just me
By his side ... smiling smiles
I never seen
So I just straightened up
And walked in on that bar room
Just as you reached out and kissed
His
come with me baby by the dawn's early light
where the big boys are talking and they think they're right
where the carnival is going and the circus is
into town
To a shack by the train depot
Jack got a job as a bouncer
At a Bar on Paradise Row
Mama got a job in the cotton gin
Grading cotton by
Too many women, and not enough time
I'm a cool cat, but I'm on life nine
Pimping ain't dead cause I be the life line
And I don't buy the bar cause
all that I see
My mind washes up at that church on old Gaylor Creek
So many of bar rooms, so many strangers
Women, whiskey, so many dangers
That
Call up some friends disturb the peace
Play a smash by Jaz or Jay-Z's dope release
Like a Dove Bar freshly dipped
So you can hook and sling and slip
mask is
You a chump, talk guns, but scared to blast his
Buy them bottles by the case, we don't gotta chase
For the love of money, we in a million
