Boz along w/ what would become Toto.
I saw him a few years ago in WPB at the Kravis Center. It was confirmed - he's the coolest musician alive.
Lido missed the boat that day
He left the shack
But that was all he missed
And he ain't comin' back
At a tombstone bar
In a juke joint car
He made a stop
Just long enough
To grab a handle off the top
Next stop Chi town
Lido put the money down
Let 'em roll
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road
Lido
Whoah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's waitin for the go
Lido
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road
Lido will be runnin'
Havin' great big funnin'
Till he got the note
Sayin' tow the line or blow it
And that was all he wrote
He'll be makin' like a bee line
Headin' for the border line
Goin' for broke
Sayin' one more hit ought to do it
This joint ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road
Lido
Woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's waitin' for the go
Lido
Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
One more job ought to get it
One last shot then we quit it
One more for the road
Lido
Woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go
Lido
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
One more job ought to get it
If the mod could remove the last two words from the title....that would be great. My bad.
I liked his use of horns.
What a great decade for music.
One of my favorite songs.
I miss the 80s
Hard to believe that Boz and Steve Miller were bandmates in high school.
1976 I think.
Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band.
I LOVED this song in middle school!!!!!!!!!
They gave this album, Silk Degrees, out at college registration.
Along with Frampton Comes Alive, Who’s Next, Tapestry, Every Picture Tells a Story.
Standard issue.
/s
So do I.
...Seems like a RRHOF-er to me. If that is what they still call it with a straight face anyway.
Yep.
Loan me a dime
Loan me a dime
Does Boz Scaggs have a song with lyrics that say ‘it’s a bird sanctuary’?
I did not know that. The Steve Miller Band gave us some great music for the decade, too.
The lyrics back then were much cooler...
Boz Scaggs:
“Next stop Chi town
Lido put the money down let em roll
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot ‘fore we quit it
One for the road...”
Steve Miller:
“Some people call me the space cowboy
Some call me the gangster of love...”
Boz’s band for Silk Degrees went on after that to form Toto.
Quite a talented bunch.
