Lyrics for Jawbone by The Band
Songwriters: Manuel, Richard; Robertson, Robbie
So what you wanna go and open it for?
Spreadin' your heat all over the place
Temptation stands just behind that door
I'm upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
You keep on runnin' and hidin' your face
When you land right back in the tank
Upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
Oh, Jawbone, why don't you sit and moan?
I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
You know that you'll steal anything that you can
I'm a thief and I dig it
Upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
Then you will know just who to thank
Pull off a job with an inside man
Boostin', goin' out on the Lam
Oh, Jawbone, you know that it's stone for stone
Sneak through the night upon your toes
Oh, Jawbone, why don't you go on home?
I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, revenge stays on your mind
Three time looser, you'll never learn
Lay down your tools before you burn
Your name upon the post office wall
Upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
To look in your eye, it never shows
I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, you been doin' too much time
Put you on edge 'cause they wrote it too small
Who needs the cash and likes your plan
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong?
