Yellow Car - The ballad of Jackie Brown

Ballad of Jackie Brown

He's a cool-cat clever gun runner
who was racin' bikes for kicks
but when the money started runnin' low
he needed a brand new gig

So he started dealin' in the darkest corners
with the seedy shadows of the night
collecting green for the black and silver
and only resting when it was light
 
You could hear his engine revvin'
and then you'd see his yellow car
and you could hear that funky music
playin'
and you knew he wasn't far

Jackie Brown was drivin round
he had deals goin' down all over town
always looking over his shoulder
never knowing who to trust
outfoxing any set ups
escaping the major busts
 
Then he met ole Eddie "fingers"  
who always called him on a dime
but then Eddie sold him down the river
a failed trade for not doing time

So don't be quick to call Jackie a "bad guy"
cuz one thing is known all around
he may get mad and get even-steven
but he'd never sell anyone out 

You used to hear his engine revvin'
and then you'd see his yellow car
and you could hear that funky music
playin'
and you knew he wasn't far

Jackie Brown was drivin round
he had deals goin' down all over town
always looking over his shoulder
never knowing who to trust
outfoxing any set ups
but in the very end, succumbing to a major bust
