i'll show me - rodney crowell lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s lady’s night at the blue gazelle
local talent looks alive and well
all dressed up with my slack britches on
i don’t get lucky, man, there’s something wrong

caddo pool hall down the rue de nowhere
eight shots loaded, yeah man i’ve been there
“hey, watch this” is what i said to the pool shark
“i can make it shooting in the dark”

[chorus 1]
a hundred dollars on an eight-ball call shot
can’t scratch now, ’cause that’s all i’ve got
i’ll show me
i’ll show me

[verse 2]
man seeking unemployment
no gig too big to blow
self-destruct for own enjoyment
another knucklehead who can’t say no

blame a woman for the way i am
much too easy, no thank you, ma’am
how’d i ever get this far, you might ask
i’m here to tell you it was no small task

[chorus 2]
i don’t need a map to show me where
i should be, ’cause i don’t care
i’ll show me
i’ll show me

[verse 3]
i kind of see myself as a young richard burton
reading dylan thomas to some welsh coquette
drinking whiskey in a swansea tavern
me and trouble are a sure-fire bet

well, how ’bout this then: i’m a suave bullfighter
or maybe a war correspondent for the bbc
why, aye man my load feels lighter
another jameson should set me free

[chorus 3]
i don’t want to have to feel or think
bartender, pour me one more drink
i’ll show me
i’ll show me

[chorus 4]
ain’t it always like the old man said
you keep it simple or you’ll wind up dead
i’ll show me
i’ll show me
i’ll show me
i’ll show me
