Long Tall Cool One

B. R. Hornsby

Is he sane or insane

That's all they want to know

Is he crazy or strange then

If so I want to go

I've seen him leave at night

Followed him so far

Drove out about thirteen miles

Then he pulled in to a shothouse bar

For a... Long

Tall Tool

One Don't know just what's going down

Long Tall

Cool One Looks like a new friend

I've found

Walking in the shadows

Now I want back in the light

As I make the drop

I've got some

Second thoughts tonight

You see I walked right in, sat right down

Offered him a light

Big talk for about thirteen hours

He said can you help me with a job tonight,

For a... Long

Tall Tool

One Don't know just what's going down

Long Tall

Cool One He said something's in it for me right now

I've reached out into the darkness

Jumped up from my bed

Woke up in the middle of the night

Got myself in way over my head

For the...

Long Tall

Tool One Don't know just what's going down

Long Tall

Cool One Looks like a new friend

I've found

Long Tall

Tool One But it better never bite me well

Long tall cool one

Oh, customer's always right...
