Jim James & The Damn Shames: words & music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

She was rawhide leather
Wrapped in a black wool sweater
Danger for the asking price
Of all your hard-earned dollars
She'd say "Beware of what you use,
Before it uses you.
Beware of what you use you see
Before it uses you and me."

You could see her as a battlefield
Won one-hundred years ago
From an army marching to the see
Only to find they must let go
Of the victors and their spoils
For the traces of their toils
Listening to the bugler's call
The last refrain says it all

She Likes Whiskey and Water Balloons
Dark bars and old cartoons
Shell Leave You Wailing
To The Moon Tonight
Well, Alright!

All the made up girls from Cali
Stand dancin' in the back of the alley
Where the outsiders they can't get in
And it's a sin the way she leaves me
Feeling so uneasy
But the punks can't breathe in Boulder!
Old Colfax is running down
From Broadway to the border
The Lost Highway has been found in

Whiskey and Water Balloons
Dark Bars and Old Cartoons
She'll Leave You Wailing
To The Moon Tonight!!
