l.a. county blues - the band of heathens lyrics
[verse 1]
well i was never one for compromise
i couldn’t fit at school
gonzo by the seventh grade
i played ’em all the fool
yeah i couldn’t find shoes my size
had to walk ten miles
there’s blisters on the backs of my soles
and an illegal smile
[chorus]
we’re burning down las vegas town
had to sleep by noon
drank my money on a red roulette
that’s a ride you can’t refuse
five hours down with a sunrise frown
lightning in your shoes
it’s one foot in the ether
with the l.a. county blues
[verse 2]
yeah they got me on accessory
thirty days in jail
one headlight in a louisville night
without a chance at bail
but i’ll be home by derby time
so please save me a seat
mint juleps on the outfield gr-ss
the old south tastes so sweet
[chorus]
we’re burning down las vegas town
had to sleep by noon
drank my money on a red roulette
that’s a ride you can’t refuse
five hours down with a sunrise frown
lightning in your shoes
it’s one foot in the ether
with the l.a. county blues
[verse 3]
well you can call me mr. raoul duke
i’ll know what you mean
blinded by a quart of rum
and a dose of mescaline
the mint 400 couldn’t slow me down
i kinda like the speed
we’re the failure of our generation
for a couple bags of weed
[chorus]
we’re burning down las vegas town
had to sleep by noon
drank my money on a red roulette
that’s a ride you can’t refuse
five hours down with a sunrise frown
lightning in your shoes
it’s one foot in the ether
with the l.a. county blues
yeah it’s one foot in the ether
with the l.a. county blues
