A LITTLE OF BOTH
As recorded by Guy Clark on "Keepers" (1997) and "Americana Master Series: Best of the Sugar Hill Years" (2007)

I like drinkin' whiskey; I like bein' straight.
I like a voodoo spinner, man; I like live bait.
I like a hundred miles an hour; I like Sunday drivin' too.
I like bein' alone with me, an' I like bein' alone with you.

Oh, gimme a bowl o' chili; gimme milk an' toast.
Long as you're dishin' it out, Lord, I'd take a little o' both.

I could do with someone, but I could do without.
Sometimes I feel like dancin'; sometime like sittin' it out.
I like stayin' at home, but I can't he'p goin' to town.
As long as I've got a choice, you know, I can't turn nothin' down.

Ah, gimme that bowl o' chili; gimme milk an' toast.
Long as you're dishin' it out, Lord, I'd take a little o' both.

(Put a little gravy on ev'rything for me.)

Sometimes I like to fly; sometimes I have to crawl.
Sometime I'm cool as ice; sometime I'm climbin' the wall.
Sometimes it's just the money; sometime it's just a game.
Six of one and half a dozen of another is all the same.

Ah, gimme a bowl o' chili; gimme milk an' toast.
As long as you're dishin' it out, Lord, I'd take a little o' both.
Gimme that bowl of chili; gimme milk an' toast.
As long as you're dishin' it out, Lord, I'd take a little o' both.
