Lyrics
Runnin' my mouth off at the storm Yelling, "Man, what the hell did you do that for?" And I was watching the old men fish And they'd all give their catch away And I could hear a woman singing And I could hear that piano play It'd go like: ♪ Where did you get your bad breath? I want some, oh, a drag off your cigarette And I was thinking about a song That I heard when I was young And I was wondering 'bout its trumpeteer How he could get those horns to talk Something like: ♪ Tears will gather in my eyes Hold my head, oh, and babe you know I'll cry And I was thinking 'bout the places I'd been All with you always at my side Like a baby, oh, I held my head and cried C'mon, Dorothy, oh, you know we could go all night ♪ Hey, it's nighttime and ya know It's getting cold, so, babe, put on some clothes And let's go hit the town And we could fill a room up with smoke Ya know I got the first round As we tell all those stories told And I would pretend you were new Like I was just introduced to you And all the music in my ears Sounds beautiful down here And I could hear that drummer roll As I listened to that choir cry And I could hear that guitar weeping I could feel those pipers pipe And all the beauty I couldn't see Well, it just cut me at my knees And I was watching the old men fish And they'd all give their catch away And I could hear a woman singing And I could hear that piano play Tears will gather in my eye Hold my head, oh, and babe you know I'll cry Like a baby, oh, I held my head and cried C'mon, Dorothy, oh, you know we could go all night
