Jawbone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You and me and that girl from Juarez Called herself Juanita Perez Do you remember the second of June Underneath the big round crescent moon [Verse 2] There was a crap shack down by the water Where Samson dallies with the devil's daughter My darling Corey is never awake Sweet Willie dies for true love's sake [Chorus 1] I want to tell you 'bout that time I want to tell you 'bout that time I want to tell you 'bout thе good old days Shut the door, and pull up a cat [Verse 3] Jawbone, jawbone, talking all night Talking on past thе dawn Jawbone, jaw, talking on and on Talking on and on and on [Verse 4] Now jawbone talks like a fevered soul Another time sounds like rain Ain't no saying how jawbone talks 'Cause it never sounds twice the same [Chorus 2] I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time I want to tell you 'bout that time I want to tell you 'bout the good old stories But what's the hurry, here's your hat [Verse 5] Jawbone sounds like a clarinet Jawbone sounds like a drum Jawbone sounds like a dog in heat Or a trumpet from kingdom come [Verse 6] Jawbone got a thousand tricks The most you never saw Jawbone talk about politics Religion and death and law [Chorus 2] I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time I want to tell you 'bout that time I want to tell you all the good old stories But what's the hurry, here's your hat [Verse 7] Remember when we rode with Jesse James Back when the West was young Who's sad death Bob Ford was blamed By the bearers of a waggin' tongue [Verse 8] Most of all Juanita Perez Token of a true fine dream All the stories jawbone tells Always she's a central theme [Chorus 1] I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time I want to tell you 'bout that time I want to tell you 'bout the good old days Shut the door, and pull up a cat [Chorus 2] I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time I want to tell you 'bout that time I want to tell you about the good old stories But what's the hurry, here's your hat
