In the back In the back I for you Ya for me
Rain came down, Say, what you think, it's outside, you said, "So what" You turned the record player on, had a smoke, up Walked to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't resist
A kitty stepped in the and she rapped the door the key in the letter box, she turned the door Walked into the room and said, "What's on?"
"I just got back down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine Somethin' to turn you on, what-a you of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, up a seat, you're soakin' wet off your coat and hat, wipe your feet on the mat"
In the back In the back I for you Ya for me
I said, "What is it Charlie, where did we go all day? You seem to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit at each other" He said, "I know, I been the same thing for weeks"
I look at the and all of a sudden I'm hypnotized It to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", ah-huh The kid he said, "I know what you guys do But I been so hard lately that I can only just fall asleep in bed"
So he some more sounds and grooved a while Somebody brought out some cherry wine, wine And we talked about what was goin' on in the world And things
The rain outside down like it came never before Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby what time is it, time is it, tell me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I 'round the corner, the blind An there ya go, there's another girl that's comin' home school Lookin' so cool, just her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't funny All the little girls comin' home from school and sittin' Talkin' and drinkin' and all them funny things"
And Charlie said to me, "Ya what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out there and do somethin' for like you wanna make it or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here Like "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, you're cuttin' records, cuttin' right You through that"
An' just through all the time, you're be out on the road I'm out on the backseat man, on the, on the And the colors are run
All of a sudden, ya feel safe the next gig, you gotta make it "I said, "Yeah I safe, I said, "Yeah, you know I can't here all the time as much as I'd like to But, I just learned all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And the artists go through the motions Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, ah-ah do my thing"
