I came up river on a gravel barge from New Orleans |
|
She was standing on the cobblestones in a pair of cut-off jeans |
|
I asked what she was doin', she said, "Sugar, I'm killin' time" |
|
Then I handed her my wallet and said, "Baby, so am I" |
|
She said, "You might need these" and then handed me her shades |
|
Took me to a barroom darker than the ace of spades |
|
I asked, "What's this we're drinkin'?", she said, "Call it Smokey Blues" |
|
I couldn't tell you what it tasted like but I know I had a few |
|
And we danced and we laughed, never talked about tomorrow |
|
We just lived a little in the here and now |
|
With her hands in my hair like a million magic fingers |
|
She said, "Look me up when you get back to town" |
|
"Look you up?" I said, "Hell, I'm gonna hunt you down" |
|
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na |
|
Hunt you down |
|
She asked where I was comin' from I said, "I'm just comin' 'round |
|
How 'bout you?", then she drove me To the highest hill in German town |
|
Her daddy's money bought the mansion, they threw in the plane for free |
|
She said, "I can drop you off anywhere or you can stay with me" |
|
And we danced and we laughed, never talked about tomorrow |
|
We just lived a little in the here and now |
|
With her hands in my hair like a million magic fingers |
|
She said, "Look me up when you get back to town" |
|
"Look you up?" I said, "Hell, I'm gonna hunt you down" |
|
Last night I saw a falling star dive straight into the river |
|
And I thought about that girl in Germantown |
|
I've gotta hunt her down |
|
And we danced and we laughed, never talked about tomorrow |
|
We just lived a little in the here and now |
|
With her hands in my hair like a million magic fingers |
|
She said, "Look me up when you get back to town" |
|
"Look you up?", I said, "Hell, I'm gonna hunt you down |
|
I'm gonna hunt you down" |
|
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na |
|
Hunt you down |
