Never Make Your Move Too Soon

Three days of snow in Birmingham

Thought you'd wonder where, where I am

Rang my number all night long

There's no answer on the telephone

Went out and caught me a, a midnight flight

I thought a little love would make everything all right

'Cause the landlord said you'd moved away

Left me with all your bills to pay, that's too bad, baby

You might have made your move too soon

My baby left me with a Keno card

This life in Vegas, well, it sure ain't hard

I ran it up to about fifty grand

I cashed it in and I held it in my hand

That kind of news, you know, could get around

And make a lost love come up found

I hear you knockin', baby, at my door

You know you ain't livin' here no more, it's too bad

I think you made your move too soon

I've been from Spain to Tokyo

From Africa to Cleveland, Ohio

I never tried to make the news

I'm just a man who sings the blues

I take my loving everywhere

I come back, Roger, you know they still care

I've got one love ahead and one behind

One in my arms and one on my mind, there's one thing, baby

I'll never make my move too soon

I've been from Spain to Tokyo

From Africa to Ohio

I've been everywhere to make the news

I'm just an old guy tryna play the blues

I take some lovin' everywhere

I come back and I tell ya, they still care (Yeah)

One love ahead, one love behind

One in my arms, that's Lucille, one on my mind, you know, Roger

Never make my move too soon

All right, all right, all right, all right, all right

Make your move, make your move, make your move, make your move

All right
