But I Was Cool
I always live by the, golden rule
Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool!
You gotta have nerves of steel
And never show folks how you, honestly feel
I lived all my life this way, hah
For example, take yesterday
I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay
Her note read, so long savvy, I haven't gone away!
An' I threw myself down across our empty bed
An' this is what I said
Oh shit Oh Oh Oh
What? Oh what are you gonna do with me?
Oh wow uh
But I was cool!
So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar
I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car
The judge threw the book at me,
An' when I read, the sentence there, I said
Ow! Please ow ow, please I got to know, I got to know
What? what went wrong?
I don't underst' I oh a,
But I was cool!
So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay
And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank
The shot whistled right past that woman's head
An' I killed my hound dog, dead!
Ow, ruff ruff, r' r' r' r' r' r'
As they carried me away
I was overheard to say,
"Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!" |
Don't Lose Your Cool
In questo girotondo d'anime
Chi si volta ¨¨ perso e resta qua
Io so per certo amico
Mi son voltato anch'io
E per raggiungerti ho dovuto correre
Ma pi¨´ mi guardo in giro e vedo che
See'¨¨ un mondo che va avanti anche se
Se tu non ci sei pi¨´, se tu non ci sei pi¨´
E dimmi perch¨¦
In questo girotondo d' anime
Non see'¨¨ un posto
Per scrollarsi via di dosso
Quello che ci ¨¨ stato detto
E quello che ormai si sa
E allora sai che see'¨¨
see'¨¨ che see'¨¨, see'¨¨ che prendo un treno
Che va a paradiso citt¨¤
E vi saluto a tutti e salto su
Prendo il treno e non ci penso pi¨´
Un viaggio a senso solo senza ritorno
Se non in volo
Senza fermate n¨¨ confini
Solo orizzonti neanche troppo lontani
Io mi prender¨° il mio posto
E tu seduta l¨¬ al mio fianco
Mi dirai destinazione paradiso
Paradiso citt¨¤ |

My Mind Is Trying To Leave Me
I went to breakfast this mo'nin, down to the corner bar
I thought I heard my baby call my name, an' it came from so far
I started runnin' an' answerin', like a crazy fool would do
Aha, ya' see, my woman gone away an' left me
An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too
Now my friend stepped out the bar
An' stopped me an' offered me a drink
I went in an' had a double
An' I began to think about my baby
Aha, like a crazy fool would do
You see, my woman gone away an' left me
An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too
Oh!
Ha-ah, I went into the barber shop an' ordered ham an' eggs
An' each barber gave me fifty cent
They thought I was tryin' to beg
An' I started cryin' like a baby (like a baby, ha)
Like any fool would do
You see my woman gone away an' left me
An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too |
Broke
I used to be a big shot long ago
I had a Cadillac and a whole lotta dough
Real fine women used to chase me down
Now, not one of those gals can be found
They're never home whenever I call
Don't seem to want me around at all
I'm broke, I'm broke
I'm broke, I'm broke
Stone cold broke
I ain't got a lousy dime
Went to a nightclub an' had my fun
Shuckin' an' jivin' wit' everyone
Drinkin' that beer an' gin an' wine
Boy, I'm tellin' ya I had a good time
When I got home I didn't have no loot
Had to go down an' pawn my suit
I'm broke, I'm broke
I'm broke, I'm broke
Stone cold broke
I ain't got a lousy dime
Now, I'm a low down dirty bum
Right back where I started from
I got no car, I got no gal
I ain't even got a pal
Huffin' an' puffin' can't raise a cent
Put me out, I can't pay my rent
I'm broke, I'm broke
I'm broke, I'm broke
Stone cold broke
I ain't got a lousy dime
Damn, I'm broke man, I got no damn money
What the hell am I gonna do now?
Oh hey, Jim, what's happenin' man?
Oh man, I'm sure glad to see you
Yeah, I know I owe you twenty dollars man
But you know hey, look it
Well, you know they picked up my car up this mornin'?
What?
You know they say a man ain't suppose to cry?
Man, I'm gonna tell ya, you know that they didn't lie
Ay, I, I, I'm broke man, I swear I'm broke
I ain't had, man I ain't got it, I got about two dollars, man that's it
Ha, swear I'm broke man
Mm yeah, yeah I'm broke, yeah
Trust me I'm broke, man
Yeah I am |
When A Guitar Plays The Blues
You get the strangest kinda feelin', that's when the guitar plays the blues
I say, you get the strangest kinda feelin', that's when a guitar plays the blues
Your body gets the message, and you know, you know, your soul has just got to
move
You might even bat your eye
You might even snap or cry
The feelin' you're feelin' within you babe
You know you just can't hide
You're kinda strokin' like that
You're kinda bendin' like this
And it reaches down inside you
And your soul just can't resist
You get the same kinda feelin'
When the guitar plays the blues
Your body sure gets the message
Yes, you know, you know, your soul has just got to move
And when the music is over
And it's time to turn out the lights
You know the blues goes home with ya
Soothes you through the night |

Quicksand
They tell me love is like quicksand, can't stop when you're sinkin' down
Tell me love is like quicksand, you can't stop when you're sinkin' down
