WILLIAM NOWIK Miscellaneous Pocket Change I’m sittin’ in this diner suckin’ down week old coffee And they didn’t have any cream and they didn’t have any sugar And their grits were gritty and their eggs were even grittier But I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon Let me tell you something mister, I spent last night with my best girlfriend’s Best friend and her sister The moon was bright and I was tight Higher than the cliched kite Man, I was a sight And I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon And I went to start my car But my car wouldn’t go And I didn’t have no money I didn’t have no dough And B. Bumble & The Stingers was playin’ on the radio And the river, the river was filled up with silt You can’t even get a boat outa here anymore I wondered, you know I just wondered why it happened that way It all happened so fast Look out, it was already today And I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon I wonder why she wants me any old way In the mirror, I looked over the bar, man, I looked like a raccoon Now the radio is playin’ John Lee Hooker goin’ Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom The waitress poured more coffee It was so thick you could cut it with a spoon And I looked into her eyes and I fell right into her wound But I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon And that time was approaching soon I stepped outside and the world went by so fast it made my head spin I decided I had to immediately duck back in The waitress, she came over and she asked me Hey, why didn’t I like it I’m not eating my food And I said no, I just don’t think I was hungry as I was The food is really good And she said you’re lying I said no, I’m just trying to be polite She says now I’ve heard everything Goodnight And I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon Man, I looked over my shoulder And in walked this man who was seven feet tall And he asks me, he said, are you Nelson Algren And I said no, son And he pulled out his gun and he says well then Give me your wallet And I said I ain’t got one And then he stuck his gun in my face and he just said just in case your lyin’ You better stand up and let me take a look And as he rumbled through my pocket he found a book And he looked at me and he says what’s this and I said it was a book I wrote And he just laughed man, he just laughed at me And he gave it back and he said well, then I’m gonna take your coat And I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon So I said, I said shoot me, I said shoot me but please make it quick ‘Cause that stuff I drank the night before, it was, it was makin’ me really Frightfully sick And I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon I was supposed to be getting’ married in the afternoon |
