Gumshoe Andy

I was high on cocaine, I was down on luck
Was swimming laps in whisky, boy, I could feel you catching up
Hey Gumshoe Andy, you're going down with me
When you've got me, I will finally be free

Well, I lost you back in Richmond and I rode to Jacksonville
When that train holed up, boy, and just for thrills
I ate some white cross, a double shot
Snort of methamphetamine
When you've got me, I will finally be free

Well, I walked on down to Baldwin and boy, it was dead luck
I flew a sign for money, made just enough to get drunk
Hey Gumshoe Andy, you're going down with me
When you've got me, I will finally be free

I found a train to Florence and I saddled that thing up
And I slept there by your station for a whole damn month
Hey Gumshoe Andy, when will you catch me?
When you've got me, I will finally be free
When you've got me, I will finally be free
