Gun Street Girl (2023 Remaster) Tom Waits

One, two, three

Falling James in the Tahoe mud
Stick around to tell us all the tale
Well, he fell in love with a Gun Street girl
And now he's dancing in the Birmingham jail
Dancing in the Birmingham jail

He took a hundred dollars off of Slaughterhouse Joe
Bought a brand new Michigan 20 gauge
He got all liquored up on that roadhouse corn
Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow Corvette
A hole in the hood of a yellow Corvette

He bought a secondhand Nova from a Cuban Chinese
And dyed his hair in the bathroom of a Texaco
With a pawnshop radio, quartеr past four
He left Waukegan at thе slammin' of the door
He left Waukegan at the slammin' of the door

I said, John, John, he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home
I said John, John, he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home

He's sitting in a sycamore in St. John's Wood
Soakin' day-old bread in kerosene
But he was blue as a robin's egg and brown as a hog
Stayin' out of circulation 'til the dogs get tired
Out of circulation 'til the dogs get tired
