Sam Bridges

[Verse 1]
Sam Bridges burned down to El Paso
Chasing the sound of speed
Long and lean in tight blue jeans
Singing "Baby, you've got what I need
But leave me be, leave me be"

[Verse 2]
A king with his crown of cigar smoke
And a golden Chevrolet
The boy could tell a dirty joke
Like a Catholic cabaret
But anyway, anyway

[Chorus]
I don't recall what I saw, Mr. Police Man
I couldn't say which way he might have gone
Last I knew, he was through with monkey business
Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along

[Verse 3]
Sun come up all black and blue
Sipping on bathtub gin
The holy ghost is tearing through
And he takes the moonlight with him
Just play it cool, play it cool

[Chorus]
I don't recall what I saw, Mr. Police Man
I couldn't say which way he might have gone
Last I knew, he was through with monkey business
Please excuse me and I'll kindly move along
