|
Three days of snow out in Birmingham
|
Thought you would wonder where I am
|
Called up your number all night long
|
No consolations on the telephone
|
Ran out and caught that midnight flight
|
Thought a little loving would make everything all right
|
But, no!
|
Landlord said, "You'd moved away
|
And left me all your bills to pay"
|
It's too bad, baby, you might have made your move too soon
|
I think you might have made your move too soon, girl
|
|
Now, look here
|
|
Left me out here with a Keno card
|
Life in Vegas really ain't so hard
|
Ran it up to about fifty grand
|
Cashed it in and held it in my hand
|
That kinda money gets the word around
|
And makes a lost love come up found
|
I hear you knocking baby at my door
|
You ain't living here no more
|
I tried to tell you before
|
But you made your move too soon
|
|
Now I'm gonna play!
|
|
All right, now I'm just going to tell you one more thing
|
|
Well, I've been from Texas down to Tokyo
|
Okinawa back to Ohio
|
Never tried to make the news
|
I'm just a man that loves to play the blues
|
Take my guitar everywhere
|
Now, if you people don't like it, I really don't care
|
Crowd jumps up and the band falls down
|
Love to see us rolling into town
|
Because the people know, well, we never make our move too soon
|
Never make your move too soon
|
|
Ya made your move too soon, girl
|
Ya made your move too soon, baby....babe
|
I think ya made your move too soon
|
|
Let's hear it for all the chickens that died in the heat wave
|
Two millions chickens, God Almighty
|
In Arkansas, down in Oklahoma, by God
|
Texas, Arizona
|

NEVER MAKE YOUR MOVE TOO SOON
