New Deep Ellum Blues

Adam Hood & Will Kimbrough

Well, come on Sarah Alice
Let me be your man tonight
I got a pocket full of money
Making my pants too tight

I got the top down on the Cadillac
A tank full of gas, the weekend off to ride
Come on Sarah Alice
Let me be your man tonight

Well, I’ve been thinking ‘bout you baby
Ever since I left New Orleans
Now I’m halfway to Dallas
Listening to the V8 scream

It feels like a month of Sundays
Since I held you in my arms
And, Lord, it’s getting the best of me

I’ve been thinking ‘bout you baby
Ever since I left New Orleans

Well, everybody’s talking ‘bout the deep ellum blues
Now, I’m really living them out
Being five hundred miles from the woman you love
It’s enough to drive you crazy
Make you scream and shout

So, come on Sarah Alice
Let me be your man tonight
Been burning up the blacktop on Highway 49

Well, the joint will be jumping
Just as soon as I hit the town
And we’ll slide in right on time
Come on Sarah Alice
Let me be your man tonight

Well, come on Sarah Alice
Let me be your man tonight
