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,
but leave me be, leave me be
a king with his crown of cigar smoke, and a golden chevrolet
boy could tell a dirty joke like a catholic cabaret
but anyways, anyways
i don't recall what i saw mr. police man
couldn't say which way he might have gone
last i knew, he was through with monkey business
please excuse me and i'll kindly move along
sun come up all black and blue, sipping on bathtub gin
the holy ghost is tearing through, and he takes the moonlight with him
just play it cool, play it cool
[chorus]
