Della and the Dealer lyrics

It was Della and a dealer and a dog named Jake

And a cat named Kalamazoo

Left the city in a pick-up truck

Gonna make some dreams come true

Yeah, they rolled out west where the wild sun sets

And the coyote bays at the moon

Della and the dealer and a dog named Jake

And a cat named Kalamazoo

If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell

About Della and the dealer and the dog as well?

But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word

Down Tucson way there's a small cafe

Where they play a little cowboy tune

And the guitar picker was a friend of mine

By the name of Randy Boone

Yeah, Randy played her a sweet love song

And Della got a fire in her eyes

The dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun

And the cat had a shot of Rye

If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell

About Della and the dealer and the dog as well?

But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word

Yeah, the dealer was a killer, he was evil and mean

And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes

He snorted his coke through a century note

And he swore that Boone would die

And the stage was set when the lights went out

There was death in Tucson town

Two shadows ran for the bar back door

And one stayed on the ground

If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell

About Della and the dealer and the dog as well?

But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word

If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell

About Della and the dealer and the dog as well?

But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word

Two shadows ran from the bar that night

And a dog and a cat ran too

And the tires got hot on the pick-up truck

As down the road they flew

It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake

And a cat named Kalamazoo

Left Tucson in a pick-up truck

Gonna make some dreams come true

If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell

About Della and the dealer and the dog as well?

But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word

If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell

About Della and the dealer and the dog as well?

But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word
