Take It All The Same
WRITTEN BY : BOOTLEG SLIM

I've got a poem in my brogues
a dream under my hat
a downtown alley roll-bones
sleeping like a rat
I drop a coin in the jukebox
hear the record play
take it easy but take it
all the same

I found a matchbox cure
I dial the number slow and hazy
her voice comes through so pure
asking, "where have you been lately?"
I say, "I can be anywhere
if you would name the place,"
take it easy but take it
all the same

With the lights down low
we share a joke, roll a smoke
with her hand in mine
she gets that look in her eyes

A whisper through a tin speaker
behind a barber shop
she says, "come on up
put your coat over the heater
help yourself to a Calvados
sit by the window,
look out at the rain
take it easy but take it
all the same

With the lights down low
we share a joke, roll a smoke
with her hand in mine
she gets that familiar look in her eyes

Black coffee, wireless news
hands shaking just to tie my shoes
I fix my hat to meet the day
I'm in bad need of a shave
standing in the doorway
smile on her face
take it easy but take it
all the same

take it easy - take it all the same
