Smuggler's Blues - Glenn Frey[00:00:00]
Written by:Glenn Lewis Frey/Jack Tempchin[00:00:00]
There's trouble on the streets tonight[00:00:17]
I can feel it in my bones I had a premonition[00:00:18]
That he should not go alone[00:00:22]
I knew the gun was loaded[00:00:24]
But I didn't think he'd kill[00:00:26]
Everything exploded and the blood began to spill[00:00:28]
So baby here's your ticket[00:00:32]
Put the suitcase in your hand here's a little money now[00:00:34]
Do it just the way we planned[00:00:38]
You be cool for twenty hours and I'll pay you twenty grand[00:00:40]
I'm sorry it went down like this[00:00:47]
And someone had to lose it's the nature of the business[00:00:50]
It's the smuggler's blues smuggler's blues[00:00:53]
The sailors and pilots the soldiers and the law[00:01:03]
The pay-offs and the rip-offs and the things nobody saw[00:01:07]
No matter if it's heroin cocaine or hash[00:01:11]
You've got to carry weapons 'cause you always carry cash[00:01:15]
There's lots of shady characters lots of dirty deals[00:01:19]
Every name's an alias in case somebody squeals[00:01:22]
It's the lure of easy money it's got a very strong appeal[00:01:26]
Perhaps you'd understand it better[00:01:34]
Standing in my shoes it's the ultimate enticement[00:01:36]
It's the smuggler's blues smuggler's blues[00:01:40]
You see it in the headlines you hear it every day[00:02:28]
They say they're gonna stop it but it doesn't go away[00:02:32]
They move it through Miami sell it in L.A.[00:02:36]
They hide it up in Telluride I mean it's here to stay[00:02:40]
It's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru[00:02:43]
You ask any D.E.A man he'll say there's nothing we can do[00:02:47]
From the office of the President[00:02:51]
Right down to me and you me and you[00:02:53]
It's a losing proposition but one you can't refuse[00:02:59]
It's the politics of contraband[00:03:03]
It's the smuggler's blues smuggler's blues[00:03:06]
