All out of green in Orange Beach
Need an ounce of Drum and a top-string for a pedal-steel
Barkeep said, "Son, don't you worry none
I know a guy who'll cut you the sweetest freaking deal"
He said, "He'll ask for very little to get you what you lack
Professor Copacetic gotcha back
The man has locomotion to move you down the track
Professor Copacetic gotcha back"
Got my heart broke in Baton Rouge
I's sitting there and crying with the Old Man running high
A voice said, "Son, let's get you gone
I'll come and take what's owed me by and by"
The man has locomotion to move you down the track
Professor Copacetic gotcha back
He said he'll ask for very little to get you what you lack
He'll cut it down the middle...
"Let's make a trade, boy"
Ring my friend - I said you'd call
He's written you a marker that he keeps under his hat
I tell you, son, don't matter what you done
The sheriff and the judge are both beholden to this cat
And you will never miss the trifle he asks as tit-for-tat
Professor Copacetic gotcha back
And he will bring you to the light when everything is black
Professor Copacetic gotcha back
