Sam Bridges

Sam bridges burned down to el paso
Chasing the sound of speed
Long and lean in tight blue jeans
Singing baby, you got what I need
Leave me be, leave me be

The king with his crown of cigar smoke
And a golden Chevrolet
A boy could tell a dirty joke
Like a catholic cabaret
Anyway, anyway

Don't recall
What I saw
Mister police-man
Couldn't say
Which way
He might've gone

Last I knew
He was through
With monkey business
Please excuse me
And I'll kindly
Move along

The Sun come up all black and blue
Stinking of bathtub gin
The holy ghost was tearing through
And he takes the moonlight with him
Play it cool, play it cool

Don't recall
What I saw
Mister police-man
Couldn't say
Which way
He might've gone

Last I knew
He was through
With monkey business
Please excuse me
And I'll kindly
Move along
