Lyrics of
1977

Well you're standin' there
With your hands in your hair
Lookin' like Johnny Quinn circa
Nineteen seventy-seven
Well we started with
Put the band to the test
Moved out west and then we
Started singin' the Beatles
Somethin' about Abbey Road
And then I opened up my door
I saw water where there once was none
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I think I'm loosin' my mind
Just like a cracker jack box
Who got your whistle baby
who got your whislte baby
(break into Deep Ellum Blues)
When you go down to Deep Ellum
Put your money in your shoes
The women in Deep Ellum got the Deep Ellum blues
Oh, Sweet mama, your daddy got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, Sweet mama, your daddy got them Deep Ellum Blues
And then I opened up my eyes
I saw water where there once was dry
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I think I'm loosin' my mind
Just like a cracker jack box
Who got your whistle baby
who got your whislte baby
