lyrics

COLD CALL

I was out in the city, just wandering around
Didn’t know where I was goin’, didn’t give a damn
Walked into a bar, to talk to the Man
I was making a cold call, and I was offered a warm hand

Chorus:
Cold call and I was offered a warm hand
Makin’ a cold call and was offered a warm hand
Cold Call and I was offered a warm hand
It just happens like that, sometimes, sometimes

I was in the middle of the city tryin’ to figure out what to do
Maybe I’d beat my heels to ‘Frisco or play some talkin’ Chicago Blues
Walked up some old stairs to the Monarch Tavern second floor
There at a table playing pool was a Big Star

His name was Tommy Hunter
And he knocked me on my back
I was makin’ a cold call
And Tommy offered me a warm hand

Chorus:
Cold call and I was offered a warm hand
Makin’ a cold call and I was offered a warm hand
Cold Call and I was offered a warm hand
It just happens like that, sometimes

(instrumental)

Told Tommy I used to watch him on T.V. when I was just a kid
"Kid you probably had only one channel”
And I said, “You’re right about that”
I was making a cold call and Tommy offered me a warm hand
Knocked me on my back, that Country Gentleman

Chorus:
Cold call and I was offered a warm hand
Makin’ a cold call and I was offered a warm hand
Cold Call and I was offered a warm hand
It just happens like that, sometimes

(instrumental)

Bridge:
I've tried to stay on the straight and narrow best as I can
Stayed away from cards and thrown the dice away
'Cause it strained my eyes to see that a pair of red fishhooks
Ain’t the best starting hand against any ragged black ace

Everywhere you go, it’s always the same
People treat you right or they stab you in your frame
You got to separate, the wheat from the chaff
It’s just the way things are, it’s a Natural Fact.

Chorus:
Cold call and I was offered a warm hand
Makin’ a cold call and was offered me a warm hand
Cold call and I was offered a warm hand
It just happens like that, sometimes
It just happens like that, sometimes
Sometimes
