lyrics

If it wasn’t for the liquor and the weed
I never would have made it through the winter
Developed a habit of washing your hands
To the point that your fingers would bleed
What’s your name?
“Hey i’m Patsy”
Are you Irish?
“No i’m Frankenstein”
Here’s to the best of the ‘Backseaters’
I was a real Tina Turner in my time
A real Tina Turner in my own mind
In the times, i was a real Tina Turner in my mind
I condensed my whole life into a gym bag
Which was stolen tonight from your car
My wallet, my keys, my shoes and photos
They even took the voter registration card
I put my mouth into a smile
Let my heart drive
Buy some new used clothes and i’ll be fine
Well here’s to the crook that took my old life
I was a real Tina Turner in those times
I was a real Tina Turner in my mind
I was a real Tina Turner in those times
I was blind
I was a real Tina Turner in my mind
I remember New Orleans of the ‘60s
When you could park anywhere
Clothes lines strung up along Decatur
Prostitutes and sailors everywhere
But the times they have changed
They cleaned up the Quarter
Made more friendly for the tourists
Here’s to the last of the soul shake swingers
All the real Tina Turners of the times
The real Tina Turners in my mind
Genuine, all the real Tina Turners of the time
What are you doing after work?
I believe i’ll be going down to Molly’s
If you don’t find me there slumped on the bar
You can catch me at CheckPoint Charlie's
Old Jim Smith is doing an open mic show
I’ll play you some songs if you go
Here’s to Sneaky Pete he’s always in the pocket
He’s the real Tina Turner of our time
The real Tina Turner of our time
Genuine, He’s the real Tina Turner of our time.
