Eight Ball Blues - Steve Goodman [Intro]                       [Verse 1] Well I wish I had some memories   that I’d keep inside my trunk I wish I had a nickel for every beer I’ve drunk And I wish I had me a sailing ship  that’d take me over the sea I wish I could talk you into coming home with me [Chorus] Is this the part where I came in  Well I’ve heard this song before Had a couple too many    but I think I can find the door And I do not know your name my friend But I’ve seen that face before Well I saw it in the Jail House   And I saw it in the war And I saw it in my mirror   A couple of times before [Verse 2] I wish I was the Candyman   Sweet as I could be In every town the ladies hang ’round   Just to get a taste of me I wish I was an opry star or had me a PhD I wish I had the common sense  to be satisfied with me [Chorus] Is this the part where I came in  Well I’ve heard this song before Had a couple too many    but I think I can find the door And I do not know your name my friend But I’ve seen that face before Well I saw it in the Jail House   And I saw it in the war And I saw it in my mirror   A couple of times before [Verse 3] I wish I had a magic pocket  that’d keep all my money in I wish I knew a good excuse for all of my mortal sins Well they say to know the best in life you gotta know the worst I wish that I had been the clown who thought up that one first [Chorus] Is this the part where I came in  Well I’ve heard this song before Had a couple too many    but I think I can find the door And I do not know your name my friend But I’ve seen that face before Well I saw it in the Jail House   And I saw it in the war And I saw it in my mirror   A couple of times before Let me tell you I saw it in the Jail House It was on the post office door And I saw it in my mirror A couple of times before Good People I saw it in the jail house I saw it in the war Lord I saw it in the mirror ...
