Songs: The Cheap Tour
The Cheap Tour
There was that time in Greenville
when the cops they ran my plate
You ate your pocket book
and got high you said on fate
There was that time in Tallahassee
when my car was in the ditch
You told the police I was drunk
but you didn’t want to snitch
(C)
There was that time in Austin
when my money wasn’t good
You said you had me covered
but I got beaten by those hoods
There was that time in Vegas
when the world stood still for hours
We stacked money up in towers
stared hard at plastic flowers in our room
(V)
There was that time in Memphis
when you hogged the mike all night
The lip service that you gave
just to avoid a fight
There was that time in Shreveport
the wind was blowing down the trees
You showed me that you had a heart
and love was just a breeze
(C)
There was that time in Tulsa
when you pushed me down the stairs
You called the ambulance
said pal now there we’re square
There was that time in New York
when you left me in that bar
I didn’t have a nickel
nor a notion where you were
(C)
