steve goodman – eight ball blues lyrics
well i wish i had some memories
that i’d keep inside my trunk
i wish i had a nickel for every beer i’ve drunk
and i wish i had me a sailing ship
that’d take me over the sea.
i wish i could talk you in to coming home with me
is this the part where i came in
i’ve heard this song before
had a couple too many
but i think i can find the door
and i do not know your name my friend
but i’ve seen that face before
well i saw it in the jail house
and i saw in the war
and i saw it my mirror
well just a couple of times before
i wish i was the candyman
sweet as i could be
in every town the ladies hang ’round
just to get a taste of me
iwish i was an opry star
or had me a ph. d.
i wish i had the common sense
to be satisfied with me
is this the part where i came in
i’ve heard this song before
had a couple too many
but i think i can find the door
and i do not know your name my friend
but i’ve seen that face before
well i saw it in the jail house
and i saw in the war
well i saw it my mirror
well just a couple of times before
(instrumental)
i wish i had a magic pocket, that’d keep all my money in
i wish i knew a good excuse for all of my mortal sins
well they say ‘to know the best in life, you gotta know the worst
i wish that i had been the clown, who thought up that one first
is this the part where i came in
i’ve heard this song before
had a couple too many
but i think i can find the door
and i do not know your name my friend
but i’ve seen that face before
hey, i saw it in the jail house
and i saw in the war
well i saw it in the mirror
a couple of times before
let me tell you
i saw it in the jail house
it was on the post office door
and i saw it on my mirror
a couple of times before
good people i saw it in the jail house
saw it in the war
lord i saw it in the mirror …fade
