Jawbone

[Verse 1]
You and me and that girl from Juarez
Called herself Juanita Perez
Do you remember the second of June
Underneath the big round crescent moon

[Verse 2]
There was a crap shack down by the water
Where Samson dallies with the devil's daughter
My darling Corey is never awake
Sweet Willie dies for true love's sake

[Chorus 1]
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout thе good old days
Shut the door, and pull up a cat

[Verse 3]
Jawbone, jawbone, talking all night
Talking on past thе dawn
Jawbone, jaw, talking on and on
Talking on and on and on

[Verse 4]
Now jawbone talks like a fevered soul
Another time sounds like rain
Ain't no saying how jawbone talks
'Cause it never sounds twice the same

[Chorus 2]
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout the good old stories
But what's the hurry, here's your hat

[Verse 5]
Jawbone sounds like a clarinet
Jawbone sounds like a drum
Jawbone sounds like a dog in heat
Or a trumpet from kingdom come

[Verse 6]
Jawbone got a thousand tricks
The most you never saw
Jawbone talk about politics
Religion and death and law

[Chorus 2]
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you all the good old stories
But what's the hurry, here's your hat

[Verse 7]
Remember when we rode with Jesse James
Back when the West was young
Who's sad death Bob Ford was blamed
By the bearers of a waggin' tongue

[Verse 8]
Most of all Juanita Perez
Token of a true fine dream
All the stories jawbone tells
Always she's a central theme

[Chorus 1]
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you 'bout the good old days
Shut the door, and pull up a cat

[Chorus 2]
I want to tell you 'bout that time, that time
I want to tell you 'bout that time
I want to tell you about the good old stories
But what's the hurry, here's your hat
