In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
Rain down, pitter-pat Say, what you think, raining outside, you said, "So what" You turned the record player on, had a smoke, up Walked across to the joint in a cloud of mist, couldn't
A stepped in the hall and she rapped the door Found the key in the letter box, she the door into the room and said, "What's goin' on?"
"I just got from down the road, I gotta couple a bottles of wine to turn you on, what-a you think of that?" I said, "Sit down cat, pull up a seat, soakin' wet Take off your coat and hat, your feet on the mat"
In the back In the room I for you Ya for me
I said, "What is it Charlie, where did we go all day? You seem to get nowhere and do nothin' but sit at each other" He said, "I know, I been the same thing for weeks"
I look at the clock and all of a I'm hypnotized It to me, it goes, "Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock", ah-huh The kid he said, "I know what you guys do But I been workin' so hard lately that I can only fall asleep in bed"
So he played some more and grooved a while brought out some cherry wine, cherry wine And we about what was goin' on in the music world And things
The rain outside came down it came never before Down, down, it came, rain, rain, rain And I said, "Baby what time is it, what is it, tell me what time is it? "Ah, four-thirty"
So I 'round the corner, the blind An there ya go, another girl that's comin' home from school so cool, just learned her As to Zs
And said, "Hey man, don't look All the little girls comin' home from and they're sittin' Talkin' and and all them other funny things"
And Charlie to me, "Ya know what?", I said, "What?" He said, "Man, you gotta go out there and do somethin' for Feel like you wanna make it or else you be sittin' 'round here nothin' "
I said, "You're right, I said, "You're so right" He said, "I know", I said, "Do ya?" Said, "You know, cuttin' records, cuttin' records right You come that"
An' through all the time, you're gonna be out on the road I'm out on the man, on the, on the highway And the colors are run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel safe the next gig, you make it "I said, "Yeah I feel safe, I said, "Yeah, you I can't stay here all the time as as I'd like to But, I learned about all day and all night"
"And dig sounds, and go down to the And once the artists go through the Gotta do my thing, aah-ah, gotta do my thing"
