"The Ballad Of Mad Dogs And Englishmen" lyrics

Tedeschi Trucks Band & Leon Russell Lyrics

"The Ballad Of Mad Dogs And Englishmen"

Kids, planes, and runway strikes
Flashy pimps and family fights
Spotted dogs and blood-shot eyes
Our space captain laughs and tries

Understand the scheme of things
But just in time the scene has changed
Bus is here, bring the beer
Sherman's reading Shakespeare

Movie makers, booby shakers
Sexy airplane ticket takers
Union members
Leo Fender's pride and joy, electric toy

Teachers, learners, and incense burners
Religious leaders, chronic bleeders
It's a hippie commune bona fide

A life and time, war death dealers
Rock pop correspondence fever
Okies, Limeys, and curtain climbers
Future Stones and Dominoes

Know which way the wind blows
Stolen cola, no one knows
The shadow do
It's still a shady crew

'Cause I love her, and she loves you
Just myself and forty friends
In the name of Cocker power
Out here on the road again
With mad dogs and Englishmen
