Extra - Climax Blues Band

The other night, I was thinking back\nTo the games we used to play\nI recall the feel of a rainy street\nThat they long since hauled away\nA Lone Star pistol and muddy jeans\nAnd a packet of cigarettes\nDent a hole in the wall with the girly magazines\nTo stop them getting wet\nBut the older you get, the bigger you bet\nThe further you set your stars\nYou’re gonna need a little extra\nExtra\nJust a nothing guy on a nothing street\nBut he sure was a friend of mine\nTill he hit a bad deal and he started to steal\nAnd then he strayed from the narrow line\nHe took a .45 pistol and a hell of a chance\nAnd he set out to pull the brake\nA shot rang clear through a rainy street\nBut there was no money to take\nYes, the older you get, the bigger you bet\nThe further you set your stars\nYou’re gonna need a little extra\nExtra\nExtra (Extra)\nExtra\nNow we’ve all got memories of the rainy sort\nAnd there’s some that we’d rather forget\nThere’s a whole lotta people that never got caught\nAnd they ain’t stopped running yet\nAnd now I know the things I know\nI want to go back again\nAnd be a nothing kid on a nothing street\nOn the better side of ten\nBut the older you get, the bigger you bet\nThe further you set your stars\nYou’re gonna need a little extra\nExtra\nExtra (Extra)\nExtra
