Ballad of Fast Eddie

Well I grew up lean if you know what I mean

And it ain't my scene to come on green

I know the way the world goes around without a question

Well I've slept with queens I've dined with slaves

From St. Petersburg to Santa Fe

Lucky 7's all the way without exception

And I've rolled in dough with friend and foe

Caught cocktail talk where no one walks

And I hung the moon too soon to be respected

I have played the pops and I've spun the wheel

And I'll tell you exactly how I feel

I say it's never say you're sorry

But just you be careful

Cause it's a little place called lonely ma'am

That's where I've been and that's where I am

There ain't no gold and there ain't no sidewalk Sundays

It's just a little place called lonely ma'am

Make no mistake about what I am

I could be Hollywood on wheels but I'm on fire

Now on a cowboy bus in the New Your zoo

I only did what I had to do

I pulled a gun and I took the money with me

The law cut me off but it ain't no loss

I figure I'm the boss no matter what the cost

And I don't take 'no' to be the answer to one of my questions

So I rode my Harley into the ground

I laid her down without a sound

And I knew right then and there you would not miss me

Cause it's a little place called lonely ma'am

That's where I've been and that's where I am

There ain't no gold and there ain't no sidewalk Sundays

It's just a little place called lonely ma'am

Make no mistake about what I am

I could be Hollywood on wheels but I'm on fire

Each and everyday is Monday blue

You hold your own that's just what you do

If anyday the sun comes through it ain't tomorrow

You just tell Fast Eddie and his Electric Chaps

On this surface trip I checked it out

He's a moneyman it's a funny world

And yes I'm watchin'

I wanna tell you just one more thing

Hope it don't cause no one no rain

But there's a window up above

It ain't no George Jones song
