That's What You Always Say - Backstage, Tucson AZ, 1982

Is that true?
Wait, hey, okay

I tell you that we've been through this
I know I've told you that before
I try to find out where we missed
I gets to be such a bore

'Cause ever since that time I told you so
Something gets my eye and I don't let go
And then the stories and words
They're here and gone
That's what you always say

I try to sit and talk with you but
You know how moods change all the time
I try to wait a week or two but
By then I'll probably change my mind

'Cause ever since that time I told you so
Well, something gets my eye and I don't let go
And then the stories and words
They're here and gone
But that's what you always say

I try to sit and talk with you
You know how moods change all the time
I try to wait a week or two
But by then I'll probably change my mind

'Cause ever since that time I told you so
Well, something gets my eye and I don't let go
And then the stories and words
Yeah, they're here and gone
That's what you always say

Thanks
Now, we're doing a cover, basically starting them done the same night
Yeah, come on dude
Oh yeah, yeah, we're in here early, we keep all the people and everybody else and they try to keep things separately
Like segregation or something like that
And so they told everybody to go home about eight o 'clock
And the people here before didn't want to see us because they thought we were punk rock band
They wanted us to learn from Merle Haggard and they told Carl
They said Carl, no, no, no, no, the guy had everything right

We were trying to explain to him, he was god in our eyes and he told us that
"Carl, you gotta cut your hair, you look like a girl"
Now I want you to know, men look like men and girls look like girls and he said Carl look like a a girl
And on his way out he said something about Merle Haggard, he was too drunk and I couldn't tell what it was
Something about Merle Haggard, he said, we should never ever go to Texas
We just came from Texas, so we didn't have a heart to tekk him
This isn't Merle Haggard's song, but this would be for him
Twice tonight, too
We're purists, xou see
