Jerry Jeff Walker - Pissin' In The Wind lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker

Chorus:

Pissin' in the wind, bettin' on a losing friend

Makin' the same mistakes, we swore we'd never make again

And we're pissin' in the wind, but it's blowing on all our friends

We're gonna sit and grin and tell our grandchildren

About the time I called this Guy it was four in the morning

Teach me the words to the song I was humming

He just laughed and he said that the ole grey cat is sneakin' down the hall

But all he wants to know is who in the hell is paying for the call

Chorus

Now this Nunn called me up, it was eight in the morning

Wanted to know how in the world am I doin'

He just laughed and he said get together boy, and fall on by the house

Some Gonzo buddies would like to play anything your's picking now

Chorus

Now we worked and we suffered and struggled

Makin' our record till we got it right

Now we're waiting on the check to come sneaking down the hall

Like that old time feeling

That we never should have ever put the record out at all

Chorus

That the answer my friend is just pissin' in the wind

The answer is pissin' in the sink
