Lido Shuffle

Boz Scaggs

Lido missed the boat that day he left the shack

But that was all he missed, he ain't comin' back



At a tombstone bar in a juke-joint car he made a stop

Just long enough to grab a handle off the top

Next stop Chi-town, Lido put the money down, let her roll

He say, "one more job oughta get it

One last shot 'fore we quit it"

One for the road



Chorus:



Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh....

He's for the money, he's for the show

Lido's a-waitin' for another go

Lido, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh....

[1: He said] one more job oughta get it

One last shot, [1: 'fore 2: then] we quit it

One more for the road



Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun 'til he got the note

Sayin' "toe the line or blow it" and that was all she wrote

He be makin' like a beeline, headin' for the borderline, goin' for broke

Sayin, "one more hit oughta do it"

This joint, ain't nothin' to it

One more for the road"
