Never Make Your Move Too Soon Lyrics - Singles - Cooder Ry

(Will Jennings, Nesbert Hooper Jr.) 

Three days of snow out in Birmingham 

Thought you would wonder where I am 

Called up your number all night long 

No consolations on the telephone 

Ran out and caught that midnight flight 

Thought a little loving would make everything all right 

But, no! 

Landlord said, "You'd moved away 

And left me all your bills to pay" 

It's too bad, baby, you might have made your move too soon 

I think you might have made your move too soon, girl 

Now, look here 

Left me out here with a Keno card 

Life in Vegas really ain't so hard 

Ran it up to about fifty grand 

Cashed it in and held it in my hand 

That kinda money gets the word around 

And makes a lost love come up found 

I hear you knocking baby at my door 

You ain't living here no more 

I tried to tell you before 

But you made your move too soon 

Now I'm gonna play! 

All right, now I'm just going to tell you one more thing 

Well, I've been from Texas down to Tokyo 

Okinawa back to Ohio 

Never tried to make the news 

I'm just a man that loves to play the blues 

Take my guitar everywhere 

Now, if you people don't like it, I really don't care 

Crowd jumps up and the band falls down 

Love to see us rolling into town 

Because the people know, well, we never make our move too soon 

Never make your move too soon 

Ya made your move too soon, girl 

Ya made your move too soon, baby....babe 

I think ya made your move too soon 

Let's hear it for all the chickens that died in the heat wave 

Two millions chickens, God Almighty 

In Arkansas, down in Oklahoma, by God 

Texas, Arizona
