He smokes cigars and carries a gun
Makes good money but he don’t have none
He’s the fiddler’s elbow & the horse’s shoes
The engine’s pistons & the blind man’s blues
He took a couple off the to, like he done before
A couple off the top, he’s coming back for more
A couple off the top, like breathing air
A couple off the top and now there’s nothing to spare
He’s a castlе of cards and you’re a windy day
Can’t see what’s coming to get out of the way
Hе drank the sour milk all his life
And now so do his kids and so doeswife
He took a couple off the top, like it was no big deal
A couple off the top, you know he always will
A couple off the top, that’s what I said
A couple off the top, the rest of us were in bed
Strippers and diners all he desires
The bottom of a glass is all the class required
He might blame his troubles on another man
But take a look what’s in his other hand
He took a couple off the top, like he done before
A couple off the top, he’s coming back for more
A couple off the top, like breathing air
A couple off the top and now there’s nothing to spare
He’s the fiddler’s elbow and the horse’s shoes
An engine’s pistons and the blind man’s blues
A touchy button like a hairpin trigger
How’s he’s come this far is hard to figure
He took a couple off the top, like it was no big deal
A couple off the top, you know he always will
A couple off the top, that’s what I said
A couple off the top, the rest of us were in bed
A couple off the top, like he done before
A couple off the top, he’s coming back for more
A couple off the top, like breathing air
A couple off the top and now there’s nothing to spare
