|
Well someone taught |
|
Your walls to talk |
|
But if they ask me, |
|
I ain't heard a thing |
|
Back to the wall |
|
Back to the ball |
|
Back to the drawing board |
|
Back to the wall |
|
Back to the ball |
|
Back to the drawing board |
|
Back to the wall |
|
Back to the ball |
|
Back to the drawing board again |
|
There was a snowstorm in Jackson |
|
When you and I met |
|
At a club called St Sebastian's |
|
But the sign said something |
|
I remember thinkin that I didn't |
|
Have a shot at Mississippi |
|
Television showed us |
|
Which roads would be closing |
|
There goes a rap show |
|
Everybody knew you as the |
|
Wife of a famous man |
|
Everyone who knew said |
|
"There goes Dixon's girl again" |
|
And ever the walls will lean closer |
|
When she play's the piano real slow |
|
Haven't met too many women |
|
In this business that I really like |
|
But you can hold a little liquor |
|
You can hold a conversation |
|
You can hold your own mike |
|
And even that night |
|
I learned the truth about your man |
|
You gotta be big |
|
To treat pretty girls bad |
|
(Refrain) |
|
And it's not much |
|
But my money's on you |
|
It's not much |
|
but my money's on you |
|
It's not much |
|
but my money, my money's on you |
|
Well I heard from the rest of the world |
|
You're in trouble |
|
Bad news moves like fire |
|
That you fight on the phone |
|
Well I'm too far away |
|
My well-wishin can't touch you |
|
But I think of you still |
|
More than you might suppose |
|
Everybody wants to see you |
|
With your hair down |
|
Wanna hear you hit the high note |
|
Wanna know if they can get you |
|
For a little less |
|
Girl, I don't |
|
I know how those stones can fly |
|
Had some hard goodbyes |
|
Call me up, day or night |
|
Free drinks and bad advice |
|
(Refrain) |
