I guess it all started, the day my brand new car wouldn¡¯t
|
So I took it to this dealer Recommended as a good¡¯un
|
He told me four hundred bucks would fix it
|
So I asked about the guarantee
|
He just smiled and he told me
|
Slim that ran out last week
|
(chorus)
|
I been taken again , I¡¯ve been taken again
|
Its like playing the blues
|
If your snoozing you lose
|
You¡¯ll be taken again
|
|
I drove to this bar, outside of Colorado Springs
|
Gonna drink a case of cold Coors
|
Hear old Merle Haggard sing
|
They had this antlered rabbit on the wall
|
Spiked horns and ears a foot tall
|
The bartender told me it was a Colorado jack lope
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Well later I took home, This old nymphomaniac
|
But I could not get her to lie upon her back
|
She told me something in my eyes had made her realize
|
That she could never do that lustful thing with me
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Now people buy the records, think we¡¯re working so hard
|
We¡¯re out in the studios, and its five o¡¯clock
|
They¡¯re hanging on every word, waiting on the very next verse
|
Think things are getting better from here
|
But I think they¡¯re getting worse
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Thank god you don¡¯t have to hear, the take after this
|
