Long Tall Cool One Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

Is he sane or insane 

That's all they want to know 

Is he crazy or strange then 

If so I want to go 

I've seen him leave at night 

Followed him so far 

Drove out about thirteen miles 

Then he pulled in to a shothouse bar 

For a long tall cool one 

Don't know just what's going down 

Long tall cool one 

Looks like a new friend I've found 

Walking in the shadows 

Now I want back in the light 

As I make the drop I've got some 

Second thoughts tonight 

You see I walked right in, sat right down 

Offered him a light 

Big talk for about thirteen hours 

He said can you help me with a job tonight 

For a long tall cool one 

Don't know just what's going down 

Long tall cool one 

He said some thing's in it for me right now 

I've reached out into the darkness 

Jumped up from my bed 

Woke up in the middle of the night 

Got myself in way over my head 

For the long tall cool one 

Don't know just what's going down 

Long tall cool one 

Looks like a new friend I've found 

Long tall cool one 

But it better never bite me well 

Long tall cool one 

Oh, customer's always right
