Robert Cray - Right Next Door, Smoking Gun & Still Around (live)

[Paha Sapa]

What a voice and picker. Just a great sound and performance to me. I hope you enjoy.

I can hear the couple fighting right next door
Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls
Around midnight I heard him shout, "Unfaithful woman"
And I knew right there the Axe was gonna fall
It's because of me
It's because of me
I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low
He said "Baby don't you lie to me no more"
And I'm listening through these thin walls, in silence and shame
As she called out my name I was right next door
It's because of me
It's because of me
Because of me
It's because of me
She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
Well, she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
At daybreak I hear him pack and say goodbye
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
I should go to her but what would I say
It's because of me
It's because of me
Because of me
Young Bob
She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
Well, she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts
She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
She was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

Smoking Gun Lyrics

I get a constant busy signal
When I call you on the phone
I get a strong uneasy feeling
You're not sitting there alone
I'm having nasty, nasty visions
And baby you're in every one, yeah
And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with
A so called smoking gun
Maybe you want to end it
You've had your fill with my kind of fun
But you don't know how to tell me
And you know that I'm not that dumb
I put two and one together
And you know that's not an even sum
And I know just where to catch you with
That well known smoking gun
I'm standing here bewildered
I can't remember just what I've done
I can hear the sirens whining
My eyes blinded by the sun
I know that I should be running
My heart's beating just like the drum
Now they've knocked me down and taking it
That still hot smoking gun
Yeah, yeah, still hot smoking gun
They've taken it, still hot smoking gun
Oh, they've taken it, still hot smoking gun
They knocked me down, they've taken it, oh
Oh
