recording of 1994, New York
from
Bloodlines (Alligator ALCD 4821)
(spoken: For all the guys messing up a good thing. Can we talk)
Inquiring minds wanna know why a man can't just simmer down
(spoken: I said:) Inquiring minds wanna know now people, why a man can't just simmer down
The angels sent him true love but he's still out in the night, sniffing around
(spoken: Haha, nothing but a dog, y'all. But wait a minute, wait a minute now)
Wonder what the boy was thinking when he jumped up and took a wife
(spoken: I'm serious, I said)
Wonder what the boy was thinking, children,
when he jumped up, leaped up, stood up, and took a wife
(spoken: Now you have to wonder)
Knowing that she believes one man, one woman,
while he believes that variety is the spice of life
(spoken: Contradiction, but here's the deal)
Don't make those promises you can't keep, you're just burning your bridges down
Watch those promises you can't keep, broken promises come back around
(spoken: uhoh, uhoh)
Heard the boy was crying this morning, the one he truly loved has gone away
(spoken: He's crying. I hear that)
Heard the boy was crying this morning, the one he truly loved has gone away
(spoken: All you Romeo's, take the warning now)
If you're out there making promises you can't keep,
remember they'll come back to haunt you one day
Here is the table of contents.
