Tom Waits


Tom Waits-Jack and NealJack was sittin' poker faced with bullets backed with bitchesNeal hunched at the wheel, puttin' everyone in stitchesBraggin' 'bout some nurse he screwed while drivin' through NebraskaAnd when she came she  honked the hornand Neal just barely missed a truckAnd then he asked her if she'd like that the CalifornyYou see, a red head in a uniform will always get you hornyYeah, and with her hairnet and those white shoes and name tag and a hatShe drove like Andy Granatelli and knew how to fix a flatAnd Jack was almost at the bottom of his MD2020Neal was yellin' out the window, tryin' to buy some benniesFrom a Lincoln full of Mexicans, and the left rear tire blowedAnd the sons of bitches pretty near almost ran us off the roadAnd while the nurse had sppilled the Manshewitz all up and down her dressAnd then she lit the map on fire, Neal just had to guessShould we try and find a bootlerg route or a fillin' station openThe nurse was dumpin' out her purse and lookin' for an envelopeAnd Jack was out of cigarettyes, and as we crossed the yellow line...........................
