Ry Cooder - Never Make Your Move Too Soon Lyrics

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
