rodney crowell - ballad of fast eddie lyrics

[verse 1]
well i grew up lean if you know what i mean
and it ain’t my scene to come on green
i know the way the world goes around without a question
well i’ve slept with queens, i’ve dined with slaves
from st. petersburg to santa fe
lucky 7’s all the way without exception
and i’ve rolled in dough with friend and foe
caught c+cktail talk where no one walks
and i hung the moon too soon to be respected
i have played the pops and i’ve spun the wheel
and i’ll tell you exactly how i feel
i say it’s never say you’re sorry but just you be careful

[chorus]
’cause it’s a little place called lonely, ma’am
that’s where i’ve been and that’s where i am
there ain’t no gold and there ain’t no sidewalk sundays
it’s just a little place called lonely, ma’am
make no mistake about what i am
i could be hollywood on wheels but i’m on fire

[verse 2]
now on a cowboy bus in the new york zoo
i only did what i had to do
i pulled a gun and i took the money with me
the law cut me off but it ain’t no loss
i figure i’m the boss no matter what the cost
and i don’t take “no” to be the answer to one of my questions
so i rode my harley into the ground
and i laid her down without a sound
and i knew right then and there you would not miss me, uh uh
[chorus]
’cause it’s a little place called lonely, ma’am
that’s where i’ve been and that’s where i am
there ain’t no gold and there ain’t no sidewalk sundays
it’s just a little place called lonely, ma’am
make no mistake about what i am
i could be hollywood on wheels but i’m on fire
each and everyday is a monday blue
you hold your own, that’s just what you do
if any day the sun comes through, it ain’t tomorrow

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
you just tell fast eddie and his electric chaps
on this surface trip i checked it out
he’s a moneyman, it’s a funny world and yes, i’m watchin’
i wanna tell you just one more thing
hope it don’t cause no one no rain
but there’s a window up above, it ain’t no george jones song
hey!

[outro: instrumental]
