Double Crossing Blues Lyrics


Twenty-five minutes past quitting time
Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine
Paying no attention to them highway signs
Doing ninety miles an hour toward the county line
Quick sack, twelve pack, back again
It`s a be -double E-double are you in?
My buddies and their babies letting down their hair
As long as we`re together it don`t matter where
Ain`t got a lot of money but we just don`t care
Knowing half the fun is in the getting there
Aztec, long necks, paychecks spent
Oh, It`s a be -double E-double are you in?
I can`t stop thinking
What the hell they were drinking
When they made this county dry
I got a week-long thirst
And to make it worse
Lord, it`s my turn to drive

Laughing and bragging and a` carrying on
We loaded up the wagons and we headed home
I guess half a dozen cases doesn`t last that long
Come tomorrow morning it`ll be all gone
Then, it`s turn around, leave town, sounds again
Like a be -double E-double are you in?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Johnny Otis (born Ioannis (Yannis) Veliotes on December 28, 1921 in Vallejo, California - died on January 17, 2012 in Los Angeles, California) was an American blues and rhythm and blues pianist, vibraphonist, drummer, singer, bandleader, and impresario. Johnny Otis was one of the most prominent white figures in the history of black R&B. After playing in a variety of swing orchestras, including Lloyd Hunter's Serenaders, he founded his own band in 1945 and had one of the most enduring hits of the big band era, "Harlem Nocturne".
