Dr. John – Potnah Lyrics

Blues

Ain't nothing on this old highway but roadkill
Dead coons and armadillos
Somebody said never buy a tack dog
From a one-armed fella
Never sign nothing under neon
If it's raining under your umbrella
You might turn into a pumpkin
Left over from Cinderella

Your running partner
Be the one that brung ya
Your hanging partner
Be the one that hung ya
(Your partner)

Said if you wanna buy a goldmine
You just might get the shaft
If you're buying on time
Might sell your life for your autograph
Get a job for the rich and wealthy
Make fun of your dumb ass
All the mess you be cleaning up
Raise you up to the janitor staff

Your running partner
Might be the one that brung ya
But your hanging partner
Be the one that hung ya
(Your partner)
Your dancing partner
Be the one that swung ya

Feel like a nickel's worth of God help us
Like a dog with fleas
So hard to love a woman
That you just can't please
The paper we signed got me locked down
They threw away the keys
With friends like that
Who needs enemies?

(Your partner)
Your running partner
Be the one that brung ya
Your hanging partner
Be the one that hung ya

(Your partner)
Your running partner
Be the one that brung ya
Your dancing partner
Be the one that swung ya
Your singing partner
Be the one that stung ya
But your hanging partner
Be the one that hung ya

Your hanging partner
Be the one that hung ya
Your hanging partner
