Never Make a Move Too Soon

Three days of snow
In Birmingham
Thought you
Would wonder
Where I am?
Rang our number
All night long
It's no comfort
On the telephone

Ran out and
Caught
A midnight flight
Thought a little love
Would make
Everything all right
The landlord said
You moved away

And left me
All your bills
To pay

"Look out baby"
"You might
Have made

Your move
Too soon"

Left me with a
Keno card

This life
In Vegas
Sure ain't
Hard
I ran
It up
To about
Fifty grand
Cashed it in
And held it
In my hand
That kind
Of word can
Get around

And make
A lost love
Come up
Found

"I hear you
Knocking
Baby
At my door"
But you know

You ain't living
Here no more
It's too bad
I think you made
A move too soon

I've been from
Spain
To Tokyo
From Africa
To Ohio
I never tried
To make
The news
I'm just a man
Who
Plays
The Blues
I take my lovin'
Everywhere
I come back
And they
Still care
You know
One love
Ahead
One love
Behind
One
In my arms
And one

On my mind
It's one thing
Baby
I never make
My move
Too soon

I've been from
Spain
To Tokyo
From Africa
To Ohio
I never tried
To make
The news
I'm just a man
Who plays
The blues
I take my lovin'

Everywhere
I come back
And you know
They still
All care
One love ahead
And one behind

One
In my arms
You know
One
On my mind
And
It's one thing
People
I never make my
Move
Too soon
