Pissin' In The Wind

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

Pissing in the wind
Betting on a losing friend
Making the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissing in the wind
And it's blowing on all our friends
Yes, we're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

About the time I called this guy up at four in the morning
To teach me the words to a song I was humming
Like uh-huh-uh-uh
Something like mmm-hmmm-hmmm
He just laughed and he said that the old gray cat was sneaking down the hall
All he wants to know is who in the hell is paying for this call

Pissing in the wind
Betting on a losing friend
Making the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissing in the wind
It's blowing on all our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

'Bout the time this old Nunn called me late in the evening
Wondered to know how in the world I was doing
I said "uhh-huh-huh
"Mmm-hmm-hmm"
He just laughed and he said "Get it together boy and fall on by my house
"Some Gonzo buddies would like to play anything you're picking now"

Pissing in the wind
Betting on a losing friend
Making the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissing in the wind
It's blowing on all our friends
Yes, we're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

How we worked and we struggled and suffered making our records 'til we got 'em right
And now we're waiting on the check to come creeping down the hall
Like that old time feeling
That we never should have ever put that record out at all

Pissing in the wind
Betting on a losing friend
Making the same mistakes we swear we'll never make again
We're pissing in the wind
It's blowing on all our friends
We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

That the answer my friend
Is just pissing in the wind
The answer is pissing in the sink

Now that's a touching piece of music right there, I'll tell ya what
