Oh, I remember it well
We was ridin’ in the box
Lord it be cold as hell
Tryin to get over the hump
Before it snow
Body could freeze to death
No one 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 “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
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
Yeah, it was a cold black night Oh, I remember it well We was ridin’ in the box Lord it be cold as hell Tryin to get over the hump Before it snow Body could freeze to death No one 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 “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 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 Explain Request ×
