Brainerd Road Café Blues Lyrics by Roger Alan Wade

Simmering Rage

2019

[Verse 1]
I got a friend Gustavo
I don't know his last name
He got a mustache like Roberto Durán and a grand on Notre Dame
He pours whiskey at the café in Brainerd
In the early afternoon
For the gringo that comes to hide out
And drink and watch cartoons
He asked about my business
I say, "I'm here to jinx your bet"
He say, "I no worry amigo"
I say, "You no worry yet"
He laid it all on the Irish
They laid it all back on him
Now he's on the run from the bastard
Son of Iceberg Slim
[Chorus]
Ane Manãna is singin'
So who do you think's running things
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing but mandolin strings
Everyone does what they do for a reason
Minе is more than I care to explain
Turn thе heat up I'm freezing and play Ane Manãna again
[Verse 2]
Yeah back before I laid down the whiskey
And got too tired to pretend
There was words and thoughts to my thinking
But now it's all rhyming again
I can't say what became of Gustavo
I told the dicks all that I knew
I know less than I thought I did
And more than they think I do
[Chorus]
Ane Manãna is singin'
So who do you think's running things
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing but mandolin strings
Everyone does what they do for a reason
Mine is more than I care to explain
Turn the heat up I'm freezing and play Ane Manãna again
[Chorus/Outro]
Oh Ane Manãna is singin'
So who do you think's running things
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing but mandolin strings
Everyone does what they do for a reason
Mine is more than I care to explain
Turn up the heat man I'm freezing and play Ane Manãna again
