Lyrics

It was hotter than hell in the oh no tell motel No women and no swimming pool I couldn't find a hunny and damned it weren't funny To wake up alone with a fool Beneath the shade I saw a pretty young maid She had a mop and a pail and a broom She said you bad blues singer I'm a bad news bringer And it's time to untangle your room Her jeans were tight as a stripe on a nine ball Lips they were full as a big yellow moon She makes all her bread by making a bed While I'm busy just making up tunes. Hey the manager called he said check out his living and youre twenty four hours overdue, I placed a star by your name and it don't stand for fame it means the sheriff will be calling on you Heard a knock at the door and my boots hit the floor, I had my guitar and my grass in my hand I heard the shotgun crescendo as I crashed through the window it sounded louder than a marching brass band Her jeans were tight as a stripe on a nine ball Lips they were full as a big yellow moon She makes all her bread by making a bed While I'm busy just making up tunes. Well i sold me a song to a big star in nashville My agent just called me today He said its number one you lucky son of a gun And you got riches coming your way But I'm a low life, with no wife, just a no show hobo Just a listening to the whistling freight trains And since i found me some riches unlike the other sons of bithces, taking all the pleasure and leaving nothing to fame Her jeans were tight as a stripe on a nine ball Lips they were full as a big yellow moon She makes all her bread by making a bed While I'm busy just making up tunes.
