Smuggler's Blues - Glenn Frey

There's trouble on the streets tonight

I can feel it in my bones

I had a premonition

That he should not go alone

I knew the gun was loaded

But I didn't think he'd kill

Everything exploded

And the blood began to spill

So baby here's your ticket

Put the suitcase in your hand

Here's a little money now

Do it just the way we planned

You be cool for twenty hours

And I'll pay you twenty grand

I'm sorry it went down like this

And someone had to lose

It's the nature of the business

It's the smuggler's blues

Smuggler's blues

The sailors and pilots

The soldiers and the law

The pay-offs and the rip-offs

And the things nobody saw

No matter if it's heroin

Coc*ine or hash

You've got to carry weapons'

Cause you always carry cash

There's lots of shady characters

Lots of dirty deals

Every name's an alias in case somebody squeals

It's the lure of easy money

It's got a very strong appeal

Perhaps you'd understand it better

Standin' in my shoes

It's the ultimate enticement

It's the smuggler's blues

Smuggler's blues

See it in the headlines

You hear it every day

They say they're gonna stop it

But it doesn't go away

They move it through Miami

Sell it in L A

They hide it up in Telluride

I mean it's here to stay

It's propping up the governments

In Columbia and Peru

You ask any DEA man he'll say

"There's nothin' we can do"

From the office of the president

Right down to me and you me and you

It's a losing proposition

But one you can't refuse

It's the politics of contraband

It's the smuggler's blues

Smuggler's blues
