Chris Smither Lyrics

"Already Gone (Flatfoot Blues)"

Come on and squeeze me
Such a simple thing
I'm breathin' easy
It ain't hard to please me
I've been livin' on a looser string
I'm here to tell you
You could sell me anything

I been a mean old dog
I had a bad monologue and a bone
Now they're already gone
Such a mean old dog
With a bad monologue and a bone
Now they're already gone

Turn on the back porch light
Don't pop my bubble
I'll take all the trouble I need
To stay awake all night
My mind is racin'
My pulse is chasin' outtasight

I had these flatfoot blues
Wearin' police shoes too long
Now they're already gone
Flatfoot blues
Wearin' police shoes too long
Now they're already gone

Chin up, grin up
Laugh it up and keep me lookin' glad
I had a hard time feelin' sad
Man, I was sick
It was a trick and it was all I had

I had a cakewalk cover
On a broken down lover too long
Now it's already gone
I had these flatfoot blues
Wearin' police shoes too long
Now they're already gone

So come on, squeeze me
Such a simple thing
I'm breathin' easy
It ain't hard to please me
I've been livin' on a looser string
I'm here to tell you
You could sell me anything

I been a mean old dog
I had a bad monologue and a bone
But now they're already gone
I had these flatfoot blues
Wearin' police shoes too long
Now they're already gone

I had these flatfoot blues
Wearin' police shoes too long
Now they're already gone
