Dale Ross - Oil Rich (live at Sam's)

She was oil rich
And all that came along with that
She knew the French Polynesians
Like the back of her hand
He had nothing
Couldn’t afford a disguise
But he swallowed some pills
and he took her by surprise
And off they went sailing
to that town in south Spain
Where the night never ends
And there’s ruby cocaine
I guess he should’ve seen it coming
When their ship it started sinking
But I thought he was onto thinking
That they we were on the brink of something more
Away from shore
Now he can’t seem to
Keep her from his mind
Singing “darling won’t you
Let me make this right”
Back of they alley
He was wasting light
He was deeper in the burgundy
Than ever in his life
But on the other side of something good
You’re always in a haze
And when a call could make the difference, love
The line goes dead for days
While she was taking all her strangers
To the Chelsea Hotel
Cause she was numb and she was
Rioting to feel something else
And in Brooklyn they told him they’d
See her around
How she was going for broke
How she was tearing up the town
And he said “oh lord
You’re such a bore”
But I can’t seem to
Keep you from my head
Singing "darling won’t you
Just come back to bed"
So he packed up his belongings
And he through em in a sack
Left everything he knew
he knew wasn’t coming back
Though deep in his mind
he still expected the worst
he searched high and low
And lower still
From 50th to 1st
Until he found her in the gutter
Laying face up with a smile
his heart it started pounding
At a minute a mile
She told him “I ain’t no replacementDon’t be hedging your bets”
He said “babe, I can’t shelter you from shit
That hasn’t happened yet”
She said “my boy,
You’re such a joy”
Now he can’t seem to
Keep himself away
Singing “darling won’t you
just settle down some day”
