Continuing Saga Of The Classic

(앨범: Time As We Know It - The Songs Of Jerry Jeff Walker - 2012)

This is called: The Continuing Saga Of The Classic Bummer, Or, Is This My Free One-Way Bus Ticket To Cleveland?

I guess it all started
The day my brand new car wouldn't
Took it to this dealer
They said it was a good'un
He told me four hundred bucks would fix it
But when I asked him 'bout the guarantee
He just smiled and he told me "Slim, that ran out last week"

I've been taken again
I've been taken again
Like singing the blues
If you snooze then you lose
You'll be taken again

We drove to this bar
Outside of El Dorado Springs
Gonna drink a case of Fat Tire
Hear old Vince Herman sing
They had this antlered rabbit on the wall
Spiked horns and ears a foot tall
Barefoot Kenny told me it was a Colorado jackalope

I've been taken again
I've been taken again
Like singing the blues
If you snooze then you lose
You'll be taken again

Well later I took home
This old nymphomaniac
I couldn't get her
In the sack
She told me something in my eyes
Had made her realize
That she could never do that lustful thing with me

I've been taken again
I've been taken again
Like singing the blues
If you snooze then you lose
You'll be taken again

People buy the records
Think we're working so hard
But we've been drinking in the studio
Since five o'clock
They're hanging on every word
Waiting on the very next verse
Hoping things'll get better from here
I'm thinking they're gonna get worse

You'll be taken again
Taken again
Like singing the blues
If you snooze then you lose
You'll be taken again

Thank God you don't have to hear
The take after this
