Black & White Picture Lyrics by Moot Davis

Man About Town

0

I GOT A BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE
OF THE MAN I USED TO BE
FEATURES THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME
BUT I SWEAR IT AIN’T ME
I WAS YOUNG AND ALWAYS READY
BUT I NEVER UNDERSTOOD
SOME TIMES THE THINGS I WANT
WELL THEM THINGS AIN’T NO GOOD
HER HAIR WAS LONG AND CURLY
AND HER EYES SPARKLED AND SHINED
AND WHEN I WALKED DOWN THE BOULAVARD
I HELD HER HAND IN MINE
WE WERE SET TO MARRY EARLY NEXT SPRING
SO I WENT INTO TOWN
AND I BOUGHT A RING
WHEN FROM THE PAWN SHOP WINDOW
I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EYES
THERE WALKED MY WIFE TO BE ARM N’ ARM
WITH ANOTHER GUY
I TRADED THAT GOLD RING
FOR A SILVER .44
I LOADED IT RIGHT AT THE COUNTER
AND I WALKED OUT THE DOOR
I KEPT MY DISTANCE
AS I FOLLOWED THEM DOWN
TO A LITTLE HOTEL
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
I WAITED IN THE LOBBY
WHILE THEY HAD THEIR FUN
AND WHEN THEY MADE THEIR WAY DOWN THE STAIRS
I PULLED OUT MY GUN
THE MOMENT THEY SAW ME
THERE WAS FEAR IN THEIR EYES
I LEVELED MY .44
AND I PULLED THE TRIGGER TWICE
AS HER AND HER YOUNG LOVER
LAY BLEEDING ON THE STAIRS
I TURNED MY GUN ON EVERYONE
CAUSE I NO LONGER CARED
I SHOT THE OLD PORTER
AND THE BELL CAPTIN TOO
THE FRONT DESK CLERK
AND A HOTEL GUEST
ALL BEFORE I WAS THROUGH
WHEN THE GUN NO LONGER FIRED
I THREW IT AT THE REST
AND WENT AND SAT DOWN NEXT TO MY LOVE
AND AWAITED MY ARREST
AS THE SIRENS GREW LOUDER
AND A CROWD GATHERED ROUND
I NOTICED SOMETHING CLENCHED
IN HER FIST
THAT I HADN’T SEEN TILL NOW
I PRYIED HER FINGERS OPEN
WONDERING WHAT IT COULD BE
WHEN TO MY HORROR I SAW
IT WAS A PICTURE OF ME
I GOT A BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE
OF THE MAN I USED TO BE
FEATURES THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME
BUT I SWEAR IT AIN’T ME
