Pocket Change

I'm sittin' in this diner suckin' down week old coffee
And they didn't have any cream and they didn't have any sugar
And their grits were gritty and their eggs were even grittier
But I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon

Let me tell you something mister, I spent last night with my best girlfriend's
Best friend and her sister
The moon was bright and I was tight
Higher than the cliched kite
Man, I was a sight
And I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon

And I went to start my car
But my car wouldn't go
And I didn't have no money
I didn't have no dough
And B. Bumble & The Stingers was playin' on the radio
And the river, the river was filled up with silt
You can't even get a boat outa here anymore

I wondered, you know I just wondered why it happened that
way
It all happened so fast
Look out, it was already today
And I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon
I wonder why she wants me any old way

In the mirror, I looked over the bar, man, I looked like a raccoon
Now the radio is playin' John Lee Hooker goin' Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom
The waitress poured more coffee
It was so thick you could cut it with a spoon
And I looked into her eyes and I fell right into her wound
But I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon
And that time was approaching soon

I stepped outside and the world went by so fast it made my head spin
I decided I had to immediately duck back in

The waitress, she came over and she asked me
Hey, why didn't I like it
I'm not eating my food
And I said no, I just don't think I was hungry as I was
The food is really good
And she said you're lying
I said no, I'm just trying to be polite
She says now I've heard everything
Goodnight
And I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon

Man, I looked over my shoulder
And in walked this man who was seven feet tall
And he asks me, he said, are you Nelson Algren
And I said no, son
And he pulled out his gun and he says well then
Give me your wallet
And I said I ain't got one
And then he stuck his gun in my face and he just said just in case your lyin'
You better stand up and let me take a look
And as he rumbled through my pocket he found a book
And he looked at me and he says what's this and I said it was a book I wrote
And he just laughed man, he just laughed at me
And he gave it back and he said well, then I'm gonna take your coat

And I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon
I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon

So I said, I said shoot me, I said shoot me but please make it quick
'Cause that stuff I drank the night before, it was, it was makin' me really
Frightfully sick
And I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon
I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon
I was supposed to be getting' married in the afternoon
