Deacon Blues
[00:13.65] This is the day of the expanding man
[00:22.64] That shape is my shade
[00:26.64] There where I used to stand
[00:31.14] It seems like only yesterday
[00:35.89] I gazed through the glass
[00:39.14] At ramblers, wild gamblers
[00:41.64] That's all in the past
[00:48.89] You call me a fool
[00:51.15] You say it's a crazy scheme
[00:56.39] This one's for real
[00:58.89] I already bought the dream
[01:04.64] So useless to ask me why
[01:08.14] Throw a kiss and say goodbye
[01:12.65] I'll make it this time
[01:16.14] I'm ready to cross that fine line
[01:21.15] Learn to work the saxophone
[01:25.14] (I) I play just what I feel
[01:29.15] Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
[01:35.14] And die behind the wheel
[01:37.89] They got a name for the winners in the world
[01:42.14] (I) I want a name when I lose
[01:45.64] They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
[01:51.39] Call me Deacon Blues
[01:54.40] (Deacon Blues)
[02:07.39] My back to the wall
[02:09.90] A victim of laughing chance
[02:16.40] This is for me
[02:18.14] The essence of true romance
[02:24.14] Sharing the things we know and love with those of my kind
[02:31.40] Libations, sensations
[02:35.65] That stagger the mind
[02:40.64] I crawl like a viper
[02:43.89] Through these suburban streets
[02:48.64] Make love to these women
[02:51.39] Languid and bittersweet
[02:56.89] I'll rise when the sun goes down
[03:01.40] Cover every game in town
[03:05.14] A world of my own
[03:08.90] I'll make it my home sweet home
[03:13.65] Learn to work the saxophone
[03:17.14] (I) I play just what I feel
[03:20.89] Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
[03:27.14] And die behind the wheel
[03:30.15] They got a name for the winners in the world
[03:34.14] (I) I want a name when I lose
[03:38.15] They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
[03:43.65] Call me Deacon Blues
[03:47.14] (Deacon Blues)
[04:53.14] This is the night of the expanding man
[05:01.40] I take one last drag as I approach the stand
[05:08.39] I cried when I wrote this song
[05:13.39] Sue me if I play too long
[05:17.64] This brother is free
[05:20.64] I'll be what I want to be
[05:25.64] I'll learn to work the saxophone
[05:29.15] (I) I play just what I feel
[05:33.64] Drink Scotch whiskey all night long
[05:39.40] And die behind the wheel
[05:42.39] They got a name for the winners in the world
[05:46.39] (I) I want a name when I lose
[05:49.90] They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
[05:56.14] Call me Deacon Blues
[05:59.65] (Deacon Blues)
