The wind was driving in my face

The smell of prickly pear

[My rival-show me my rival]

The milk truck eased into my space

Somebody screamed somwhere



I struck a match against the door

Of Anthony's Bar and Grill

I was the whining stranger

A fool in love

With time to kill



I've got detectives on this case

They filmed the whole charade

[My rival-show me my rival]

He's got a scar across his face

He wears a hearing aid



Sure he's a jolly roger

Until he answers for his crime

Yes, I'll match him whim for whim now



[solo]



I still recall when I first held

Your tiny hand in mine

[My rival-show me my rival]

I loved you more than I can tell

But now it's stomping time



[chorus
