Brainerd Road Café Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got a friend Gustavo I don't know his last name He got a mustache like Roberto Durán and a grand on Notre Dame He pours whiskey at the café in Brainerd In the early afternoon For the gringo that comes to hide out And drink and watch cartoons He asked about my business I say, "I'm here to jinx your bet" He say, "I no worry amigo" I say, "You no worry yet" He laid it all on the Irish They laid it all back on him Now he's on the run from the bastard Son of Iceberg Slim [Chorus] Ane Manãna is singin' So who do you think's running things Nothing lasts forever Nothing but mandolin strings Everyone does what they do for a reason Minе is more than I care to explain Turn thе heat up I'm freezing and play Ane Manãna again [Verse 2] Yeah back before I laid down the whiskey And got too tired to pretend There was words and thoughts to my thinking But now it's all rhyming again I can't say what became of Gustavo I told the dicks all that I knew I know less than I thought I did And more than they think I do [Chorus] Ane Manãna is singin' So who do you think's running things Nothing lasts forever Nothing but mandolin strings Everyone does what they do for a reason Mine is more than I care to explain Turn the heat up I'm freezing and play Ane Manãna again [Chorus/Outro] Oh Ane Manãna is singin' So who do you think's running things Nothing lasts forever Nothing but mandolin strings Everyone does what they do for a reason Mine is more than I care to explain Turn up the heat man I'm freezing and play Ane Manãna again
