I'll Show Me

Ladies' night at the Blue Gazelle
 The local talent looks live and well
 I'm all decked out with my slack britches on
 If I don't get lucky, man, there's somethin' wrong
 Caddo's Pool Hall, down the route to nowhere
 Eight-shot, low, yeah, man, I been there
 "Hey, watch this" I said to the pool shark
 "I can make this shootin' in the dark"
 Honey butts on an eight-ball call shot
 Don't scratch 'cause it's all that I got
 I'll show me
 I'll show me
 ♪
 Man seeking unemployment
 No gig too big to blow
 Self-destructs for own enjoyment
 Another knuckle-headed way to go
 I blame a woman for the way I am
 That's much too easy, no thank you, ma'am
 How'd I ever get this far? You might ask
 I'm here to tell ya, it was no small task
 Don't need a map to show me where
 I should be 'cause I don't care
 I'll show me
 I'll show me
 ♪
 Kinda see myself as a young Richard Burton
 Readin' Dylan Thomas to some Welsh coquette
 Drinkin' whiskey in a Swansea tavern
 And me and trouble are a sure-fire bet
 How 'bout this? And I'm a suave bull-fighter
 Maybe a war correspondent for the BBC
 Why, I never felt my load feel lighter
 Another Jameson's would set me free
 I don't wanna have to feel a thing
 Bartender, pour me one more drink
 I'll show me
 I'll show me
 Simple pleasures that I've come to crave
 Buried treasure and an unmarked grave
 I'll show me
 I'll show me
 I'll show me (I'll show me)
 I'll show me
