|
It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
|
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
|
Left the city in a pick up truck,
|
Gonna make some dreams come true.
|
|
Yea,they rolled out west where the wild sun sets
|
And the coyote bays at the moon.
|
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
|
and a cat named Kalamazoo
|
|
Chorus:
|
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
|
About Della and the Dealer and the dog
|
as well
|
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word.
|
|
Down Tucson way there's a small cafe
|
Where they play a little cowboy tune.
|
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
|
By the name of Randy Boone.
|
|
Yea, Randy played her a sweet love song
|
And Della got a fire in her eye
|
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun
|
and the cat had a shot of Rye.
|
|
Repeat CHORUS
|
|
Yea , the dealer was a killer,
|
He was evil and mean
|
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.
|
|
He snorted his coke through a century note
|
And swore that Boone would die.
|
|
The stage was set when the lights went out.
|
There was death in Tucson town.
|
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
|
And one stayed on the ground
|
|
Repeat CHORUS
|
|
Two shadows ran from the bar that night
|
And dog and cat ran too.
|
And the tires got hot on the pick up truck
|
As down the road they flew.
|
|
It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
|
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
|
Left Tucson in a pick-up truck
|
Gonna make some dreams come true.
|
|
CHORUS
