JAN, CAROL AND WARREN (Bob Lusk) Jan and I, we smoked a bowl At the Tallyho tavern we barely survive Right on the edge, not getting ahead Keeping our dreams alive We always thought we'd never get caught Live our lives easy and free But time catches up; and we ain't catching on It's all closing in on me So I took to the road, like a man with a load Gonna knock them over the head I'll sing my songs, and I'll play my tunes I can't work, so I'll dream instead Then I went to Carol and tried to seduce her Opened myself to her hands She'd lost her man, so we made our plans And shared our prisons of love Then she tried to cut me, she couldn't be trusted My god I barely survived My home no more, I ran for the door Hope somebodies keeping score Then I took to the road like a man with a load Gonna knock them over the head I'll sing my songs, and I'll play my tunes I can't love so I'll flee instead I ran to Warren, and I tried to bribe him I'd pay any price for my soul Make me a man, and lend me your voice I'll sing till the cows come home I offered him riches and fortune and fame If he would only sing with me He shook his head, and all that he said was "You ain't getting nothing from me" So I took to the road like a man with a load Gonna knock them over the head I'll sing my own songs, and play my own blues But they want the silver tongued devil, not me (A song only loosely based on Kris Kristoferson's 'Silver Toungued Devil'.) filename[ JANCAROL BL |
