Blow You Away - Robert Earl Keen[00:00:00]
You take off from work a bit early[00:00:07]
The boss doesn't care if you stay[00:00:10]
The guard with the key has to check your ID[00:00:13]
But he'd just as soon blow you away[00:00:17]
The cops have stopped ten miles of traffic[00:00:20]
They're sorry for all the delay[00:00:24]
No need for alarm as they're waving their arms[00:00:27]
But they'd just as soon blow you away[00:00:31]
Two pretty blondes in a Porsche[00:00:34]
Their bumper says "We Love LA"[00:00:38]
They look pretty fair but they're crazy out there [00:00:41]
And they'd just as soon blow you away[00:00:45]
You got in some trouble in high school[00:00:48]
But you feel like a new man today[00:00:51]
You keep to yourself because anyone else[00:00:55]
Would just as soon blow you away[00:00:59]
You're standin' in front of the teller[00:01:16]
She's countin'out all of your pay[00:01:19]
There's twenties and ones and[00:01:23]
There's guards with their guns[00:01:24]
And they'd just as soon blow you away[00:01:26]
And one old ex con at the station[00:01:29]
Fixes flats in the back of the bay[00:01:33]
He winks and he jokes and he borrows a smoke[00:01:36]
But he'd just as soon blow you away[00:01:40]
You like the new girl at the hotel[00:01:43]
She drops your room key in the tray[00:01:46]
No words will pass through the bullet proof glass[00:01:50]
'Cause she'd just as soon blow you away[00:01:53]
You climb up the stairs every evening[00:02:10]
To your room right above the cafe[00:02:13]
There ain't much mystique but you pay every week[00:02:17]
'Cause they'd just as soon blow you away[00:02:20]
And You turn out the light that you read by[00:02:23]
You pray that you're one of the few[00:02:26]
When you're in with the lord there's just one reward[00:02:30]
And they'd just as soon make it come true[00:02:33]
Your mattress is mildewed and lumpy[00:02:50]
But you fall fast asleep where you lay[00:02:54]
Under the lump there's a twenty gauge pump[00:02:57]
'Cause they'd just as soon blow you away[00:03:00]
