Deacon Blues |
This is the day of the expanding man, |
That shape is my shade, there where I used to stand, |
It seems like only yesterday, I gazed through the glass |
At Ramblers, wild gamblers, that’s all in the past |
You call me a fool, you say its a crazy scheme |
This one’s for real, I already bought the dream |
So useless to ask me why, throw a kiss and say goodbye |
I’ll make it this time, I’m ready to cross that fine line |
I’ll learn to work the saxophone |
I’ll play just what I feel, |
Drink scotch whisky, all night long, |
And die behind the wheel, |
They got a name for the winners in the world, |
I want a name when I lose |
They call Alabama the crimson Tide |
Call me Deacon Blues, |
Deacon Blues |
My back to the wall, a victim of laughing chance |
This is for me, the essence of true romance, |
Sharing the things we know and love |
With those of my kind, |
Libations, sensations, that stagger the mind |
I crawl like a viper, through the suburban streets |
Make love to these women, languid and bitter sweet, |
I rise when the sun goes down, |
Cover every game in town, a world of my own, |
I’ll make it my home sweet home, |
This is the night of the expanding the man, |
I take one last drag, as I approach the stand, |
I cried when I wrote this song, |
Sue me if I play too long, |
This brother is free |
I’ll be what I want to be |
