Fandango - I Keep Going/Hard Bargain lyrics
[Fandango - I Keep Going/Hard Bargain lyrics]
It was a time for feelin' out things
I was lookin' for a line
On a better way to spend a little time
I was watchin' a movie, a late-night show
Tryin' not to close my eyes
Me and Errol Flynn waitin' for
The sun to rise
You always said we never made it
You put my heart on trial
You took to my face, never to my style
Well, I've been washin' your memory
Down with a drink watchin' muddy water flow
Down my windowpane into the Gulf of Mexico
Into Mexico
And all the while, her eyes were laughin'
When you leave her, better count your change
Every word was so familiar
You know that every one was strange
But I keep goin', never knowin'
I keep goin', never knowin'
Lord, I keep goin', never knowin', knowin'
I keep goin', never knowin'
I keep goin', never knowin', knowin'
I keep goin'
I was goin' through Carolina
Ran into a girl by the name of Dinah
Though my head knew she was a minor
My heart didn't give a damn
We went to the double feature
When her old man tried to reach her
He had a shotgun and a preacher
They was makin' up a weddin' plan
And it was alarmin'
I said, "Can we make a deal?"
He drove a hard bargain (Oh, my Lord)
He was a man of law and order
She was his one and only daughter
For a dollar and a quarter
I became a family man yes, I did
And it was alarmin'
I said, "Can we make a deal?"
He drove a hard bargain
You drive a hard bargain yes, you do
You drive, you drive a hard bargain
Yeah, yeah you drive a hard bargain
You drive a hard bargain come on
You drive a hard bargain
I was lookin' for a line
On a better way to spend a little time
I was watchin' a movie, a late-night show
Tryin' not to close my eyes
Me and Errol Flynn waitin' for
The sun to rise
You always said we never made it
You put my heart on trial
You took to my face, never to my style
Well, I've been washin' your memory
Down with a drink watchin' muddy water flow
Down my windowpane into the Gulf of Mexico
Into Mexico
And all the while, her eyes were laughin'
When you leave her, better count your change
Every word was so familiar
You know that every one was strange
But I keep goin', never knowin'
I keep goin', never knowin'
Lord, I keep goin', never knowin', knowin'
I keep goin', never knowin'
I keep goin', never knowin', knowin'
I keep goin'
I was goin' through Carolina
Ran into a girl by the name of Dinah
Though my head knew she was a minor
My heart didn't give a damn
We went to the double feature
When her old man tried to reach her
He had a shotgun and a preacher
They was makin' up a weddin' plan
And it was alarmin'
I said, "Can we make a deal?"
He drove a hard bargain (Oh, my Lord)
He was a man of law and order

And it was alarmin'

He drove a hard bargain
You drive a hard bargain yes, you do
You drive, you drive a hard bargain
Yeah, yeah you drive a hard bargain
You drive a hard bargain come on
You drive a hard bargain
