The Continuing Saga Of The Classic Bummer... Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

I guess it all started, the day my brand new car wouldn't 

So I took it to this dealer Recommended as a good'un 

He told me four hundred bucks would fix it 

So I asked about the guarantee 

He just smiled and he told me 

Slim that ran out last week 

(chorus) 

I been taken again , I've been taken again 

Its like playing the blues 

If your snoozing you lose 

You'll be taken again 

I drove to this bar, outside of Colorado Springs 

Gonna drink a case of cold Coors 

Hear old Merle Haggard sing 

They had this antlered rabbit on the wall 

Spiked horns and ears a foot tall 

The bartender told me it was a Colorado jack lope 

(chorus) 

Well later I took home, This old nymphomaniac 

But I could not get her to lie upon her back 

She told me something in my eyes had made her realize 

That she could never do that lustful thing with me 

(chorus) 

Now people buy the records, think we're working so hard 

We're out in the studios, and its five o'clock 

They're hanging on every word, waiting on the very next verse 

Think things are getting better from here 

But I think they're getting worse 

(chorus) 

Thank god you don't have to hear, the take after this
