dubuque blues ("live" version) - the association lyrics

[intro, spoken]
this song is, uh, called “dubuque blues”
it was written about a city in iowa, in the united states, the world
and, uh, it was gonna be the theme song for our new tv show, a new series
it’s a pilot, uh, it’s called “god squad”
we all, we all play priests; except for jules, he plays a nun
we listen to people’s confessions, and we turn them in
we don’t turn them all in actually; some of them we just tell them to go take a bath in holy water
the song is called “dubuquе blues”

[verse 1]
do you remembеr dubuque?
have you even heard of that?
halfway between new york and california
there is a highway in and back
plus, connecting railroad track
and the west side of the city sells no liquor

[pre*chorus]
now, i can recall the instances
that haunted in my thoughts
city parks or nighttime girls
or ancient limestone rocks

[chorus]
writing songs of rights and wrongs
and buyin’ penny loafer shoes
oh, definitely, most certainly
i’ve got the dubuque blues
[verse 2]
do you remember anna sue?
have you even heard of that?
she went from tennessee to minnesota
when she was thirteen, and i was ten
and like a gentle southern wind
well, she made the moonlight shatter through the maples

[pre*chorus]
now, i can recall the summers
that we spent among the trees
when there were no monday bummers
to blow my life of ease

[chorus]
writing songs of rights and wrongs
and buyin’ penny loafer shoes
oh, definitely, most certainly
i’ve got the dubuque blues

[bridge]
now, the dubuque blues ain’t news to anybody
who knows sadness is the sweetest of the pains
who can tell by just a glance that it’s all over
and who never cries, well almost never crie
[verse 3]
do you remember nickel cokes?
well, have you even heard of that? (i’ve heard of that), yeah
halfway between the 40’s and tomorrow
well, i once considered it my home
but now, i know i’ll always roam (know i’ll always roam, yeah)
and if i pass through there again i will be lucky

[pre*chorus]
now, i can recall the instances
that haunted in my thoughts
city parks or nighttime girls
or ancient limestone rocks

[chorus]
writing songs of rights and wrongs
and buyin’ penny loafer shoes
woah, definitely, most certainly
i’ve got the dubuque blues

[outro]
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
i’ve got the dubuque blues every night and day
i’ve got the dubuque blues, i’m goin’ back to hide away
