Rodney Crowell - I'll Show Me

It's lady's night at the blue gazelle local talent looks alive and well
All dressed up with my slack britches on don't get lucky man there's something wrong
Caddo pool hall down the rue de nowhere
Eight shots loaded, yeah man I've been there
Hey, watch this is what I said to the pool shark
I can make it shooting in the dark
A hundred dollars on an eight-ball call shot can't scratch now cause that's all I've got.
I'll show me. I'll show me

Man seeking unemployment no gig too big to blow.
Self-destruct for own enjoyment
Another knucklehead who can't say no
Blame a woman for the way I am. Much too easy no thank you mam
How'd I ever get this far you might ask I'm here to tell you it was no small task
I don't need a map to show me where I should be cause I don't care
I'll show me I'll show me

I kind of see myself as a young Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas to some Welsh coquette
Drinking whiskey in a Swansea tavern me and trouble are a sure-fire bet
Well how about this then I'm a suave bullfighter
Or maybe a war correspondent for the BBC
Why aye man my load feels lighter Another Jameson'd set me free

I don't want to have to feel or think bartender pour me one more drink
I'll show me I'll show me
Ain't it always like my old man said keep it simple or you'll wind up dead
I'll show me I'll show me
I'll show me I'll show me
