Never Go West

Yeah, it was a cold black night, oh, I remember it well

We was ridin' in the box, Lord, it be cold as hell

Tryna get over the hump 'fore it snowed

Body could freeze to death, no one'd ever know

We was headin' west just to go south

About this plan, well, I had my doubts

Slim said he wanted first stop out in Spokaloo

Said he knew a pretty little thing and I think her name was Lou

Oh, I had a bad feelin'

Well, we rolled into town, we was walkin' down the street

Oh, I knew somethin' wrong, I could feel the heat

Up come the police said that, welcome to our town

Hop in the back seat, boys, gon' show you round

Never ever go west when you know you should be headin' south

Never ever whisper when you know it's time to shout

See what I mean?

Fourteen days in the Spokane city jail

When I got out, have mercy, I was ready to sail

Captain said you learned your lesson, boy? Have no doubt

Never ever go west when you know you should be headin'

Never ever go west when you know you should be headin' south

Never ever whisper when you know it's time to shout

Never ever go west when you know you should be headin' south

Never ever whisper when you know it's time to shout

You see what I'm sayin'?
