Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs

Lido missed the boat that day
He left the shack
But that was all he missed
And he ain't comin' back

A tombstone bar
In a juke joint car
He made a stop
Just long enough to grab a handle off the top

Next stop Chi town
Lido put the money down and let it roll
He said, "One more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road"

Lido, whoa
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go

Lido, whoa
He said, "One more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road"

Lido be runnin'
Havin' great big fun
Until he got the note
Sayin', "Tow the line or blow it"
And that was all she wrote

He be makin' a beeline
Headin' for the border line goin' for broke
Sayin', "One more hit ought to do it
This joint ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road"

Lido, whoa
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go

Lido, whoa
He said, "One more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road"

Lido, whoa
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go

Lido, whoa
