Lyrics Blow You Away - Robert Earl Keen
You
take
off
from
work
a
bit
early
The
boss
doesn′t
care
if
you
stay
The
guard
with
the
key
has
to
check
your
ID
But
he'd
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
The
cops
have
stopped
ten
miles
of
traffic
They′re
sorry
for
all
the
delay
No
need
for
alarm
as
they're
waving
their
arms
But
they'd
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
Two
pretty
blondes
in
a
Porsche
Their
bumper
says,
"We
love
L.A."
They
look
pretty
fair,
but
they′re
crazy
out
there
And
they′d
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
You
got
in
some
trouble
in
high
school
But
you
feel
like
a
new
man
today
You
keep
to
yourself
because
anyone
else
Would
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
You're
standin′
in
front
of
the
teller
She's
countin′
out
all
of
your
pay
There's
twenties
and
ones
and
there′s
guards
with
their
guns
And
they'd
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
And
one
old
ex
con
at
the
station
Fixes
flats
in
the
back
of
the
bay
He
winks
and
he
jokes
and
he
borrows
a
smoke
But
he'd
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
You
like
the
new
girl
at
the
hotel
She
drops
your
room
key
in
the
tray
No
words
will
pass
through
the
bullet
proof
glass
′Cause
she′d
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
You
climb
up
the
stairs
every
evening
To
your
room
right
above
the
cafe
There
ain't
much
mystique,
but
you
pay
every
week
′Cause
they'd
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
And
you
turn
out
the
light
that
you
read
by
You
pray
that
you′re
one
of
the
few
When
you're
in
with
the
Lord,
there′s
just
one
reward
And
they'd
just
as
soon
make
it
come
true
Your
mattress
is
mildewed
and
lumpy
But
you
fall
fast
asleep
where
you
lay
Under
the
lump
there's
a
twenty
gauge
pump
′Cause
they′d
just
as
soon
blow
you
away
