Rick Steffen Black Coconuts Lyrics

Verse 1
It was an acid rain - on lover'S lane
A long.... - deferred campaign ......
I could feel the pain -I made A bad mistake
I did A double take........... Bc...........

Verse 2
It was cocaine chess... - played with the best
A wing...., A leg, and A prayer.......,
...Driftin down the road - lookin old ...I'm told
A mo-Jo hand pointed the way.........(bc)...
Chorus 1
When the sun came up - I fell down on my knees to pray
Nuthin I could do ...- nuthin I could say....
It was plain to see - things weren'T goin my way..........
Black coconuts ...{{{{.- black coconuts.. Because
Verse 3
It was freezin cold -Took its toll
I guess it wasn'T - meant to be
In the wrong zone - can't leave it alone -...
If I had only known - where it would lead......because bc...
Chorus 2
Imagination - was 'Runnin dry
It did no good... - to ask why..
If you give A man enough rope - he'Ll hang on his own
If A dog is kicked enough - he'Ll choke on A bone

(Em) black coconuts {{{{ black coconuts
Black coconuts {{{{ black coconuts.
Bc.........Bc.......... Bc... etc........ Fade
Verse 4
On the beach - wit my tribe
To drown the pain - and be free
Rum flowin..... - like the tide....
In the end - with no guarantees because.
Tween the rocks and the sea - with no guarantees
Chorus 3
Tryin to reckon .....- with greed & desire
A choice between..... - the pan or the fire
If ya throw enough stuff on the wall - its bound to stick
If A man screws up enough - he'Ll run out of tricks
Because because because because ......
