Got to hurry up And quit my job these days 'Cause there's only one way To be sure I get paid So from tomorrow All bets are off 'Cause my time is my money And I think I've had enough Working on my night moves And working on Black Betty If I were kind of married to a muse I'd like to get her ready I've lost it all People Soon we'll all be lucky I'm searching for something new It happens all the time Wherever I reside 'Cause California's ours truly The Grand Union would ride If I admitted what was kinda true Kinky little Woody I'm not the man we once knew Paid in full As I understood Like the great Viking could Working on my night moves And working on Black Betty If I were kind of married to a muse I'd like to get her ready I've lost it all People Soon we'll all be lucky I'm searching for something new It happens all the time Rolling dice at sundown With a hand I can't refuse The preacher’s got a sermon But it's my time to scoot The road is long behind me And the deal ain't been too kind But the way the wheel is turning I'll be laughing down the line Working on my night moves And working on Black Betty If I were kind of married to a muse I'd like to get her ready I've lost it all People Soon we'll all be lucky I'm searching for something new It happens all the time Old friend in Tucson Said she's holding something tight Told her I’d be coming If I make it through the night Ain’t no love in debt But there’s mercy in the trade So I keep my engine running Like a promise that I made
