Gemini Song
Waylon Jennings · Never Could Toe the Mark [RCA Victor] [1984]
I could tell you a story from another day in time
How a high falootin' woman tried to make me walk the line
She was into changin' too damn hard to please
And the last time I saw her she was down on her knees.
Born under the sign of the Gemini twins
There's two sides to me and they ain't even friends
All sides are rising and there ain't no in between
When I'm bad I'm bad when I'm good I'm the best you ever seen.
Sometimes I'm out a prowlin' and carryin' on
Too high to know when it's time to take it home
When I'm like that it's hard to leave the women alone
It ain't easy thinkin' right with a good looking wrong.
For another sign of the Gemini twins
This two sides to me and me ain't even friends
All sides are rising in the rainbow in between
When I'm good I'm good when I'm bad I'm the worst you ever seen.
There's a good hearted woman waitin' when I come in
She don't wasting time and asking me about where I've been
She keeps it all together and to wish that you could see
Know she goes about bring it out the best side of me.
Born under the sign of the Gemini twins
There's two sides to me and they ain't even friends
All signs are rising, and there ain't no in between
When I'm bad I'm bad when I'm good I'm the best you ever seen...
