[Intro]
A D E A D A E
[Verse 1]
A D
Shotgun with tin roofs, the air sits more than it moves
E A
Newspaper hits the front door, Nicky wakes in the front room
A D
He's packed his Mitsubishi with the itchy upholstery
E A A7
He's going to Austin to his sister's, she's got an open room
D A
For the way his ass wanders won't make wives of your daughters
A E
Pensacola 1978
A D
It was over a bag of Lebanese hash
E A D A E
That Nick met Joe, went back to his house laid down for a smoke
[Verse 2]
A D
Nick was just 20 and Joe was near 40
E A
But the first man to hold Nick without secrecy
A D
They'd go to Hippie Hollow and fuck on Joe's sailboat
E A A7
Go round in his limo, Nick insisted he drove
D A
In purple pants and high heels, Nick wrote hot checks and closed deals
A E
Joe designed the insides of Austin's fine homes
A D
Ah but love is a migrant, it's movement is constant
E A A7
With Nick, and Joe's wouldn't stay
D A
He said "Baby, I'm just the first one in your life full of good love
A E
And save for some hurt what's our consequence to pay
A D
Time never went wasted, stood still in some places
E A
And when it heals you, a friend I'll remain"
[Interlude]
A D E A D A E
[Verse 3]
A D
Shotgun with shingled roofs, the air sits more than it moves
E A
Nick sits on his corner in New Orleans, he's just turned 60
A D
A call on the homephone, the voice of Joe
E A A7
Saying "Nicky, my liver, it's not gonna hold"
D A
So Nick makes up the guest bed and hires a house chef
A E
Says "Joe, you won't be going in any old home"
A D
And late one spring evening, two lovers lay sleeping
