Is he sane or insane
 That's all they want to know
 Is he crazy or strange then
 If so, I want to go
 I've seen him leave at night
 Followed him so far
 Drove out about thirteen miles
 Then he pulled in to a shothouse bar
 For a  Long Tall Cool One
 Don't know just what's going down
 Long Tall Cool One
 Looks like a new friend I've found

 Walking in the shadows
 Now I want back in the light
 As I make the drop I've got some
 Second thoughts tonight
 You see I walked in, sat right down
 Offered him a light
 Big talk for about thirteen hours
 He said can you help me with a job tonight
 For a Long Tall Cool One
 Don't know just what's going down
 Long Tall Cool One
 He said something's in it for me right now

 I've reached out into the darkness
 Jumped up from my bed
 Woke up in the middle of the night
 Got myself in way over my head
 For the Long Tall Cool One
 Don't know just what's going down
 Long Tall Cool One
 Looks like a new friend I've found
