Deep Eddy Blues

The Whistleberry Boys play every Tuesday Inside the bar at Deep Eddy Cabaret Doug Sahms on the wall And he'll be there til last call To round up some tall tales I did the math on my horoscope this week I'm sorry, sometimes Hemingway makes me mean I just stopped in for a shot And some spice for the plot You never know what you'll find Beautiful women wear elegant scowls And peak through the loopholes inside their wedding vows There's a crack in your truth There's a scent to your spent youth But it doesn't show in this light Down where love calls the shots On hearts that break til they're bought We play the game just to find out what it costs And cry before the midnight calls Two stepped my rolling bag to Boca Raton Crashed the chopper in Sierra Leone There's a way to your mind & it's all in a day's drive Just south of Kokomo She wore a smile that I thought that I knew A broken visa and some christian tattoos I know I promised not to Talk on the dance floor with you Who'd turn away just to find out that it's true That love calls the shots On hearts that break til they're bought And we play the game just to find out what it costs And cry before the midnight calls Cry before the midnight calls
