Jawbone

(앨범: The Band - 1969)

Oh, Jawbone, when did you first go wrong?
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong?
A three-time loser, you'll never learn,
Lay down your tools before you burn
Ya keep on running and hiding your face,
Spreading your heat all over the place

I'm a thief, and I dig it!
I'm up on a reef, I'm gonna rig it!
I'm a thief, and I dig it!

Oh, Jawbone, why don't ya sit and moan?
Oh, Jawbone, you know that it's stone for stone
Sneak through the night up on your toes,
To look in your eye, it never shows
Your name up on the post office wall,
Puts you on edge 'cause they wrote it too small!

Oh, Jawbone, revenge stays on your mind
Oh, Jawbone, you been doing too much time
Pull off a job with an inside man,
Who needs the cash and likes your plan
Then you will know just who to thank,
When ya land right back in the tank!

Oh, Jawbone, why dont'cha go on home?
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong?
Boosting and going out on the lam,
Ya know that you'll steal anything that you can
Temptation stands just behind that door,
So what you wanna go and open it for?
