Paul Kelly - Crying Shame lyrics

I like your careless grace Your sideways talking, too Let me tell you straight There's a whole lot I like about you Your hazel mocking eyes The broken tales you tell I haven't known you long But I'd really like to know you well Sure would be a crying shame if you put the brake on me Sure would be a crying shame if you left the ache in me Now would anybody mind If we just slipped away You know, I live close by If you want to come and see my place I got some Coopers Ale Last night's chilli beans Got some records, too From way down in New Orleans Sure would be a crying shame if you put the brake on me Sure would be a crying shame if you left the ache in me Maybe you got somewhere You're supposed to be Maybe you got someone With a claim on your company Let the four winds blow Let it rain and hail Tonight if you pay the price There's a steady rocking man for sale Sure would be a crying shame if you put the brake on me Sure would be a crying shame if you left the ache in me I got a long neck bottle I got the ways and means I got the music, too Let's dance like they do in New Orleans
