Dempsey Nash

Just sit on down I'll stay right here
Want more newspaper I've got plenty here
I couldn't believe it when I read what I read
I opened the letter and the damn thing said
It said "You can be a winner and all you need is this
Your name's got to be on this here list"
And on the list of three winners of all that cash
Number three was me, Dempsy Nash

I tell you man, I've been had
I was stung real hard I was set up bad
April 8th was the date of that sting
There's something to this numerology thing
I had a few beers bought a Busch at the store
I got hungry, ate dinner and I had a few more
Then out on west 5th I had a little crash
And the cops were on top of Dempsey Nash

I've been fighting this thing for nine months now
They say it's number four but I don't see how
Two arrests in Waco in 79'
And I don't remember being there at that time
But I've got connections, I tell you somethin'
I'm talkin' about networkin'
And I don't mean no yuppie trash
I mean good old boys like Dempsey Nash

I buried my little
Sister last year
Only one kind of luck
That I've come near
But there's gotta be
Some good luck, for me
I think I might
Have found the key
I've got my own
Private mailbox now
I just need the what
The when and the how
And the envelopes will come
Stuffed with cash
All addressed
To Dempsey Nash
