From the recording Still Moving
Lyrics
Living in the country far from town.
There’s still a lot of nature all around.
I was sampling a taste with my companion.
When I heard a shotgun blast in the canyon.
Don’t take me down to Sugartown.
Just ain’t willin’ to go.
Won’t be hanging ‘round Sugartown.
I’ve been there before, ain’t going back no more.
They make it seem so easy, seem so real.
Just a minute more and you’ll seal the deal.
Just because they got some crazy dancers on your lap.
That doesn’t mean you gotta fall for that crap.
Don’t take me down to Sugartown.
Just ain’t willin’ to go.
Won’t be hanging ‘round Sugartown.
I’ve been there before . . .
If you struggle with temptation, lose your will.
That’s when they move in for the kill.
They’ll take your last dollar, your last dime.
It’s gonna happen almost every time.
Go get a lawyer a freakin’ barracuda.
Who owns banks in Rome, New York, and Bermuda.
But you should have paid attention to what’s written in chartreuse.
Just because you’re colorblind, that’s no excuse.
Don’t take me down to Sugartown.
Just ain’t willin’ to go.
Won’t be hanging ‘round Sugartown.
I’ve been there before, ain’t going back no more.
