But I Was Cool Lyrics
I always live by the, golden rule
Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool!
You gotta have nerves of steel
And never show folks how you, honestly feel
I lived all my life this way, hah
For example, take yesterday
I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay
Her note read, so long savvy, I haven't gone away!
An' I threw myself down across our empty bed
An' this is what I said
Oh shit Oh Oh Oh
What? Oh what are you gonna do with me?
Oh wow uh
But I was cool!
So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar
I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car
The judge threw the book at me,
An' when I read, the sentence there, I said
Ow! Please ow ow, please I got to know, I got to know
What? what went wrong?
I don't underst' I oh a,
But I was cool!
So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay
And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank
The shot whistled right past that woman's head
An' I killed my hound dog, dead!
Ow, ruff ruff, r' r' r' r' r' r'
As they carried me away
I was overheard to say,
"Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!"
Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool!
You gotta have nerves of steel
And never show folks how you, honestly feel
For example, take yesterday
Her note read, so long savvy, I haven't gone away!
An' I threw myself down across our empty bed
An' this is what I said
What? Oh what are you gonna do with me?
Oh wow uh
But I was cool!
I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car
The judge threw the book at me,
An' when I read, the sentence there, I said
What? what went wrong?
I don't underst' I oh a,
But I was cool!
And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank
The shot whistled right past that woman's head
An' I killed my hound dog, dead!
As they carried me away
I was overheard to say,
"Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!"
