"Old Blevins" :rofl:


We had a little quarrel, she and I
She told me just to curl up and die
I crept out to drown my sorrows, at a joint called No Tomorrows
Where the old man came and looked me in the eye
Old Blevins

I could tell he had some wisdom to impart
Some story that was etched and burned and stamped upon his heart
Then his eyes began to glisten, 'cause he could see that I would listen
We sat there at the bar 'til nearly three
And this is what Old Blevins said to me:

He said "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah in Tijuana,
Blah blah blah, back in 1963"
He said "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah You should have been there
Blah blah blah"
Is what Old Blevins said to me

I sat there and I listened to his words
As they flapped around my head like little birds
Had he gone plumb 'round the bend, or could I just not comprehend
His lips were writing lines I could not read
When suddenly, it all came clear to me

As he said "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Them crazy hippies
Blah blah blah blah no effect on me"
He said "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah The Great Depression Blah blah blah"
And he would not leave me be


Old Blevins was still talking when I seized my chance to flee
Back home she's never known I'm not the fool I used to be
But I know that a man and a woman's lives were somehow changed
By a loathsome toothless geezer, incoherent and deranged.
And my memories of that evening fuel an inner mounting fear
That I might become Old Blevins anywhere that they sell beer

And I'll say "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I don't remember
Blah blah blah blah blah blah Mistakes were made."
I'll say "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah How 'bout them Cowboys?
Blah blah blah"
Like Old Blevins used to say

8. Austin Lounge Lizards are plentiful--

just go down to 6th street after 8 p.m. and you can be at home the same as going to Ybor City in Tampa-the people are all the same.
