eilahtan Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 There's trouble on the streets tonight, I can feel it in my bonesI had a premonition, that he should not go aloneI knew the gun was loaded, but I didn't think he'd killEverything exploded and the blood began to spillSo baby, here's your ticket, put the suitcase in your handHere's a little money now, do it just the way we plannedYou be cool for twenty hours and I'll pay you twenty grandI'm sorry it went down like this,And someone had to lose,It's the nature of the business,It's the smuggler's bluesSmuggler's bluesThe sailors and pilots, the soldiers and the law,The pay-offs and the rip-offs, and the things nobody sawNo matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash,You've got to carry weapons 'cause you always carry cashThere's lots of shady characters, lots of dirty dealsEvery name's an alias in case somebody squealsIt's the lure of easy money, it's got a very strong appealPerhaps you'd understand it betterStandin' in my shoesIt's the ultimate enticement,It's the smuggler's bluesSmuggler's bluesSee it in the headlines, you hear it every dayThey say they're gonna stop it but it doesn't go awayThey move it through Miami, sell it in L.A.They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stayIt's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru,You ask any DEA man, he'll say, "There's nothin' we can do"From the office of the President, right down to me and you, me and youIt's a losing proposition,But one you can't refuseIt's the politics of contraband,It's the smuggler's bluesSmuggler's blues Lyrics by Glenn Frey---> Homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
