Bruce Hornsby - Long Tall Cool One Lyrics






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

Now I want back in the light

  1. G.... H....

    In all honesty Harbor lights album is his finest work

  2. J.... G....

    The songs storytelling is dark and superb and the character is in over his head! :-)

  3. E.... M....

    Hornsby is, by his own estimation, a white McCoy Tyner. Could not agree more. But its Metheny that makes this special.

  4. D.... D....

    i didnt know phil collins was the backup vocalist for this song. What a great pare.

    D.... D....

    wow... thanks for the comment; had no idea!

  5. K.... !....

    Bruce is on piano, Phil Collins is on tambourine and b/g vocals & Branford Marsalis is on sax. What a dream team of musicians.

    K.... !....

    And Jerry Garcia plays guitar on Pastures of Plenty..this was a really great album for those who love great players.

    K.... !....

    @estimatedeyes i thought it was passing through not pastures of plenty

  6. R.... P....

    One of my faves from Harbor Lights
