Story: Townes' Road Keets

Lyrics

This a song written by old friend of mine, Townes Van Zandit
 Townes couldn't be here this evening
 But Townes just leave me and Susan back, I guess it's 1972
 And he woke up one morning and coming for, for coffee
 And he picked up a guitar
 And lay this piece of paper on his leg and sing a song
 I said, "Man, what a great song where does it come from?"
 He said, "I wrote it last night in my sleep"
 Said, "I just rolled over and wrote it down
 And turned over and went back to sleep"
 Then he got up and played it
 Mh mh-mh suspicions confirmed
 Ah, in case one of you are wondering
 There is reference in here to Loop and Leo
 Loop and Leo were Townes pair keets, called 'em, "Road keets"
 Ah, they carried him in the inside pocket of his sport jacket
 When he came walking down them
 What do you call that at the airport? (Concourse)
 Concourse, yeah
 I saw him one day that he came walking out of this con-, it's gone
 He had them damn pair keets in there, yah
 If I needed you
