	A neat, jaunty little tune with acoustic guitar, bass and egg shaker. Bluesy-jazzy with clever lyrics
	CD: 4 Years Credits: Words and Music by John Doman
	Story Behind the Song This actually started out as a slow, sad song, the kind you would hear in the lobby of an old, sleepy hotel (to imagine it, listen to the opening riff and then slow it down in your mind). But then, of course, it worked better fast. One thing that stinks about this recording is that the wonderful bass lone by Dan Bozek is kind of faint. You have to listen for it; but when you do, it's rewarding. The acoustic guitar was done in a single take, and I've never been able to play it as good since. Lyrics We were walking along on a winter day Your boots were gold and my face was gray We’re talking ‘bout love and jealousy Well I don’t think much about relationships When I got my hands around your slender hips But I don’t want you to be another casualty I would spend every lonely night with you But I’m too old to live by the devil’s rules And I’m lucky too much to take it for granted ‘Cause I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain I’ve seen love, frustration, disillusion and pain And now I find my feet are too well planted Well I guess I’m what people would call a square I get in bad situations but I don’t care You always think that I’m just joking You don’t think so much about all your pain When your fingers are tracing my big blue veins And you’ll be laughing and I’ll be moping I would spend all my money to show you the world But I don’t have any, so I’ll use yours You’ll always be my little sugar mama And once every week you start to fuss and cry You say you hate me, go to hell and die You know I would, but I don’t wanna You try to give me one reason to stay away and I’m leaving You try to convince me but you’re just not succeeding I won’t be heeding, ‘cause I’m flying off the edge and I’m blown out to sea Won’t somebody come and rescue me
