Tim Buckley - Nighthawkin' lyrics

rate me

I was a nighthawkin' in my taxi

On a cruise below the deadline

My fare was a shaky ol' lush

So I kicked it over and took off

Then he whipped out this switch blade

Straight outta nowhere level to my throat

He said "You ever been over to the war boy"

I said "Man I was a combat paratrooper daddy"

Well then he slump back cool and he pocket that steel

He said "Take me down to Fourth and Main"

Ah that paratroop bluff always cools oh the red eyed geezers down

Man that last block that cat was singing

Man he was sittin' in the backseat singing to me this song

I got my BAR boy

I got my M1 on my hip right

You better listen mr president

Oh boy don't you mess up with my war, boy

I wanna do I wanna do

Lord I wanna do the Blood Boogaloo

I'm just a Redneck son of a gun

I wanna kill me a gook before dawn

Ah, night hawkin' for my change
