I've taken everything
My patience will allow
I see you up against the wall baby

I want it now

I want it now


You had a hard time
You got a easy time

This is rent time baby
I want it now


I got to have it right now

Don't make me wait

Waitin aint my style
Don't pencil me in for next week
I'll be dining with some 10

I knew King Farouk

You gave me false hope

For me that's poison
It breaks my rhythm you know
It breaks my rhythm you know


You gave me them false hopes baby
That was poison for me


Don't gimme false hopes
For a man like me that's a hard thing to do

Don't gimme no false hopes
For a man like me it's a bad thing to do


Do any damn thing you want

I want it now

Gimme that thing
Gimme that
Tell 'em Root Boy Slim slept there


I ain't got no American Express card
I don't need it

Everybody know me where I go
Everybody know me
From Tupelo to the Gulf of Mexico


Richard nixon tryin to get my tapes
Charles Carlson tryin to get in my convertment

White House on my case
White House on my case


Ain't been done
Since one eight one
Two


Since the War of 1812
Root Boy was livin another life y'all

And he came over the White House fence
And he made it!


He made it, ladies and gentlemen
And that's the birth of the blues
That's the birth of the blues

Thank you
Thank you
That's wonderful, girls

That's wonderful, girls
