Confidence Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I lost you at the border
When you crossed it
Had your number, baby
But I lost it
I know your love
Was just a flimflam
Well, you can't pull the wool over me
Cause I'm a confidence man
I can talk old ladies
Out of all of their money
I can talk young girls
Into calling me honey
You can talk all you want, baby
But I got fast hands
I know your mother
Taught you how to bake a pie
And read a book
Your daddy
Taught you how to tell a lie
And not get shook
Let me tell you somethin', baby
You better learn
If you're gonna con the con man
You're liable to get burned
Now, now, now
We were stretched out on the floor, baby
It's all elastic
But you stretched it too tight
And it snapped like plastic
And the pieces went flying across the badlands
Well, you can't pull the wool over me
'Cause I'm a confidence man
Now, maybe Chicago
Is where you're bound
But love is a cheap perfume
It hangs around
And you roll the dice
Now let the bet stand
Well, you can't pull the wool over me
'Cause I'm a confidence man
Well, you can't pull the wool over me
'Cause I'm a confidence man
Well, you can't pull the wool over me
'Cause I'm a confidence man
