Jerry Jeff Walker - The Continuing Saga of the Classic Bummer Lyrics



Jerry Jeff Walker - The Continuing Saga of the Classic Bummer Lyrics




I guess it all started, the day my brand new car wouldn't

So I took it to this dealer Recommended as a good'un

He told me four hundred bucks would fix it

So I asked about the guarantee

He just smiled and he told me

Slim that ran out last week

(chorus)

I been taken again , I've been taken again

Its like playing the blues

If your snoozing you lose

You'll be taken again



I drove to this bar, outside of Colorado Springs

Gonna drink a case of cold Coors

Hear old Merle Haggard sing

They had this antlered rabbit on the wall

Spiked horns and ears a foot tall

The bartender told me it was a Colorado jack lope



(chorus)



Well later I took home, This old nymphomaniac

But I could not get her to lie upon her back

She told me something in my eyes had made her realize

That she could never dothat lustful thing with me



(chorus)



Now people buy the records, think we're working so hard

We're out in the studios, and its five o'clock

They're hanging on every word, waiting on the very next verse

Think things are getting better from here

But I think they're getting worse



(chorus)



Thank god you don't have to hear, the take after this
