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 --- I'll Show Me - Rodney Crowell
