Fandango: I keep going / Hard bargain [lyrics]

Fandango

I keep going / Hard bargain

It was a time for feelin' out things

I was lookin' for a line

On a better way to spend a little time

I was watchin' a movie, a late-night show

Tryin' not to close my eyes

Me and Errol Flynn waitin' for the sun to rise

You always said we never made it

You put my heart on trial

You took to my face, never to my style

Well, I've been washin' your memory

Down with a drink

Watchin' muddy water flow

Down my windowpane into the Gulf of Mexico

Into Mexico

And all the while, her eyes were laughin'

When you leave her, better count your change

Every word was so familiar

You know that every one was strange

But I keep goin', never knowin'

I keep goin', never knowin'

Lord, I keep goin', never knowin', knowin'

I keep goin', never knowin'

I keep goin', never knowin', knowin'

I keep goin'

I was goin' through Carolina

Ran into a girl by the name of Dinah

Though my head knew she was a minor

My heart didn't give a damn

We went to the double feature

When her old man tried to reach her

He had a shotgun and a preacher

They was makin' up a weddin' plan

And it was alarmin'

I said, "Can we make a deal?"

He drove a hard bargain

(Oh, my Lord!)

He was a man of law and order

She was his one and only daughter

For a dollar and a quarter

I became a family man

Yes, I did

And it was alarmin'

I said, "Can we make a deal?"

He drove a hard bargain

You drive a hard bargain

Yes, you do

You drive, you drive a hard bargain

Yeah, yeah

You drive a hard bargain

You drive a hard bargain
