  • well the damn cracked hard just like a bull whip
  • cause it wasn't takin' no lip from the night before
  • as it shook out the street, the stew bums showed up
  • just like bounced checks, rubbin' their necks
  • and the sky turned the color of Pepto-Bismol
  • and the parking lots growled
  • and my old sports coat full of promissory notes
  • and a receipt from a late night motel
  • and the hawk had his whole family out
  • there in the wind, and he's got a message
  • for you to beware cause he be kickin' your
  • ass in, in a cold blooded fashion
  • dishin' out more than a good man can bear
  • I got shoes untied, shirt tail's out, ain't got a
  • ghost of a chance with this old romance
  • just an apartment for rent down the block
  • Ivar Theater with live burlesque
  • and the manager's scowlin', feet on his desk
  • boom boom against the curtain
  • you're still hurtin'
  • and then push came to shove, shove came to biff
  • girls like that just lay you out stiff
  • maybe I'll go to Cleveland or
  • get me a tattoo or somethin', my brother
  • in law's there
  • skid mark tattoo on the asphalt blue
  • was that a Malibu
  • Liz Taylor and Montgomery Clift
  • cumming on to the broads with the
  • same ol' riff. Hey baby come up to
  • my place, we'll listen to some
  • smooth music on the stereo, no thank you
  • got any Stan Getz records
  • no I got Smothers Brothers
  • so I combed back my Detroit
  • jack up my pegs, wiped my Stacy Adams
  • jacknifed my legs, yea I got designs
  • on a moving violation
  • hey baby, you put me on hold and I'm
  • out in the wind and it's getting
  • mighty cold...
  • colder than a gut shot ***** wolf dog
  • with 9 sucking pups pullin' a 4 trap
  • up a hill in the dead of winter
  • in the middle of a snowstorm
  • with a mouth full of porcupine quills
  • (scat)
  • yea well I don't need you baby
  • It's a well known fact
  • I'm 4 sheets to the wind
  • I'm glad you're gone
  • I'm glad you're gone
  • I'm finally alone
  • glad you're gone, but I
  • wish you'd come home
  • and I struggled out of bed
  • cause the dawn was crackin' hard like a bullwhip
  • cause it wasn't takin' no lip from the night before
  • as it shook out the streets the stew bums
  • showed up just like bounced checks
  • rubbin' their necks, and the sky turned the
  • color of Pepto-Bismol
  • and my old sports coat full of promissory notes
  • and the hawk had his whole family out there
  • in the wind, he got a message for you to beware
  • kickin' your ass in, in a cold blooded fashion
  • he be dishin' out more than a good man can bear
  • well hey baby let's take it to Bakersfield
  • get a little apartment somewhere
