Eagles - Smuggler's Blues Songtext


Eagles, The/ Glenn Frey - Smuggler's Blues(1984)



"guitar"

One, two, one two three

"guitar"

There's trouble on the streets tonight, I can feel it in my bones

I had a premonition that he should not go alone

I knew the gun was loaded, but I didn't think it'd kill

Then everything exploded and the blood began to spill

So Baby, here's your ticket, put the suitcase in your hand

Here's a little money now, do it just the way we planned

You be cool for twenty hours and I'll pay you twenty grand



Yeah I'm sorry it went down like this

But someone had to lose

It's the nature of the business

It's the smuggler's blues



Smuggler's blues






The sailors and pilots, the soldiers and the law

The pay-offs and the rip-offs, and the things nobody saw

No matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash

You've got to carry weapons 'cause you always carry cash

There's lots of shady characters, lots of dirty deals

Every name's an alias in case somebody squeals

It's the lure of easy money; it's got a very strong appeal



Perhaps you'd understand it better

Standin' in my shoes

It's the ultimate enticement

It's the smuggler's blues



Smuggler's blues



"slow down"

"instrumental"

"guitar"



Yeah

You see it in the headlines, you hear it every day

They say they're gonna stop it but it doesn't go away

They move it through Miami and sell it in L.A.

They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stay

It's propping up the governments in Colombia and Peru

You ask any DEA man, he'll say, "There's nothin' we can do"

From the office of the President, right down to me and you

Me and you



It's a losing proposition

But one you can't refuse

It's the politics of contraband

It's the smuggler's blues



Smuggler's blues



"instrumental"



Mmm... mmmhmmm...



Woah, woah



"instrumental"



Oh, woah

Yow! Yow!

Ooh.



I sing ...

smugglers blues
