lyrics

Like a preacher - I'm on a mission
Like a driver - Avoiding all collisions
Like a hobo - In 1942
I been jumping these trains to you
We got the red house - I got the blues
We got the mojo - More than you
Don't send no letters - You never write
Who were you talking to? - Turn out the light

Like a clerk - I made a misfile
Like a soldier - I loosed a missile
Like a banjo - I got nobody to pluck
And I've been running right out of luck
Don’t need no priest - I been a devil
Don’t need no driver - I'm on the level
We got the red house - I got the blues
We got the mojo - More than you

Don’t pay any dues at all
I’m your favourite criminal
Isolated but never alone
Don’t need a postage stamp to send me home

We got the red house - I got the blues
We got the mojo - More than you
Don't send no letters - No, you never write
Who were you talking to? - Turn out the light
