"Tennessee Quick Cash" lyrics

Well, I'm hard to understand
And I can't work for the man
I earn my living playing one night shows
On a long and winding road
I don't care about where it goes
But every now and again, we come to Tennessee

Well, the memory, it stays with me
I went on before the committee
They put me up so late, the doggone joint was closed
But before they cut out the light
On number eighty-two that night
A woman locking the door gave me good advice

"If you need some money fast
Hit the Tennessee Quick Cash"

Now I know what you're about to say
About their predatory ways
But brother, at least they let you know it right up front
'Cause if you take that ride downtown
Where them rounders hang around
You'll find anything in the world but a fair deal

If you need some money fast
Just hit the Tennessee Quick Cash
Here's what I do when I walk in there

It's been this way for years
I cry alligator tears
Something like Paradise Lost, I guess
Her name was Cheyenne
I thanked her as I shook her hand
She said, "Honey, good luck, you're gonna need it"

If you find your winning fix
And you need some money fast
Just hit the Tennessee Quick Cash
I'd hit the Tennessee Quick Cash
Alright, Shooter
