Mansion on the Hill Lyrics

Based on the track from The Last Train To Mashville, Vol.2
This is a pretty slow choon on the album and there is some finger picking, hammering and
sliding but it's all based on these chords I think so it's a great one to improv on and
muck about with.
I hit the dance floor around about midnight
Gin and juice and I was feelin? fine
Come the morning all the sounds went up
Police man said the joint was shut
All the brothers gettin' busted outside
Undercover officers readin' them their rights
It's a one way ticket boys you're prison bound
The night the lights in Dallas went down
So
How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
She shakes the blues off then she tries her luck
Makes a little bet, hopes her horse comes up
She's pickin' pockets for some easy money
Blew the damn lot on the lottery
She steals a paper, checks the front page
Headlines read the dancehall can't be saved
How can they open up an opera house
The night the lights in Dallas went down
So
How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
Welfare line?
Tweek freak Tony on the four two eight
Special branch sting right time wrong place
Columbian connections in the corridors of power
Mean the man on the money ain't ever goin' down
Lord Lucky takes his lady to the Magic Flute
Little taste or two thinks he's bullet proof
Tony tunes the underground radio
On the night the lights in Dallas went down
So
How long we gotta wait until
We get the keys to the mansion on the hill
How long we gotta waste our time
Boardin' a bus that's bound for the welfare line
Finish how you like! Do another chorus or two!!
