Tedeschi Trucks Band > Songs > The Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen > Lyrics


    Kids, planes, and runway strikes
    Flashy pimps and family fights
    Spotted dogs and blood-shot eyes
    Our space captain laughs and tries

    To understand the scheme of things
    But just in time the scene has changed
    The bus is here, bring the beer
    Sherman's reading Shakespeare

    Movie makers, boobie shakers
    And sexy airplane ticket takers
    Union members
    Leo Fender's pride and joy - electric toy

    Teachers and learners, incense burners
    Religious leaders and chronic bleeders
    Thieves and pirates on a ride
    It's a hippie commune bona fide

    Life and time, war death dealers
    Rock pop correspondence fever
    But Okies and Limeys, curtain climbers
    Stones and future Dominoes

    Know which way the wind blows
    Stolen cola no one knows
    The shadow do
    But it's still a shady crew

    'Cause I love her, and she loves you
    Just myself and forty friends
    In the name of Cocker power

    Out here on the road again
    With Mad Dogs and Englishmen
    Button 1 Button 2 Button 3 Button 4
    Button 5 Button 6 Button 7 Button 8
