1
There's trouble on the streets tonight
2
I can feel it in my bones
3
I had a premonition
4
That he should not go alone
5
I knew the gun was loaded
6
But I didn't think he'd kill
7
Everything exploded
8
And the blood began to spill
9
So baby, here's your ticket
10
Put the suitcase in your hand
11
Here's a little money now
12
Do it just the way we planned
13
You be cool for twenty hours
14
And I'll pay you twenty grand
15
I'm sorry it went down like this
16
And someone had to lose
17
It's the nature of the business
18
It's the smuggler's blues
19
Smuggler's Blues
20
The sailors and pilots
21
The soldiers and the law
22
The pay offs and the rip offs
23
And the things nobody saw
24
No matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash
25
You've got to carry weapons
26
'Cause you always carry cash
27
There's lots of shady characters
28
Lots of dirty deals
29
Every name's an alias
30
In case somebody squeals
31
It's the lure of easy money
32
It's got a very strong appeal
33
Perhaps you'd understand it better
34
Standin' in my shoes
35
It's the ultimate enticement
36
It's the smuggler's blues
37
Smuggler's blues
38
Oh
39
See it in the headlines
40
You hear it ev'ry day
41
They say they're gonna stop it
42
But it doesn't go away
43
They move it through Miami, sell it in L.A.
44
They hide it up in Telluride
45
I mean it's here to stay
46
It's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru
47
You ask any D.E.A. man
48
He'll say "there's nothin' we can do"
49
From the office of the President
50
Right down to me and you, me and you
51
It's a losing proposition
52
But one you can't refuse
53
It's the politics of contraband
54
It's the smuggler's blues
55
Smuggler's blues
56
Hmm, hmm
57
Woah, oh
58
Woah, oh
59
Ya
