Glenn Frey - Smugglers' Blues Lyrics

I’m right there with ya ll. Love it.

The Eagles touring after his passing...let hell freeze over.

There was No Eagles after he passed...

Angel got hacked with a chainsaw in the first scene

Yes this was the life !! Money powder it was bad

Anyone know who the actress in the video was that got busted? She looks familiar just can't remember her name.

You can tell that guy at the beginning has never held a revolver in his hands before. If you open the cylinder of the revolver the way he did , there's a big chance the cartridges will fall out.

Well done video. RIP Glenn Frey.

Epic video. Song is a jam.

They need to hurry with the time machine I wanna go back in the 80’s for a week or so..

Very much a “lost classic”

When "videos" were VIDEOS!

Jimmy the pilot isn’t John Wayne and doesn’t have an S on his chest....he’s down with you cats if the play calls for it....but he doesn’t like violence.....😃😂😇

a kz1200

be cool for twenty hours

Glen Fry your watching you on YouTube

kz 1200

R.i.p. Glen Frey another legend gone 😢 a year ago today

2020 anyone?

This is like a day in some parts of CA

still a good true video.....what a great good looking singer he was

That girl is hot

I remember I sniffed some of that good shit

I loved Glenn Frey!! He was one sexy man!! R.I.P.

The 80s forever!!!

EEEYAUWO!
Love the Music Video's of the early days, not the socially engineered - administered to the present masses....This? This Is Priceless.

The ending of this always freaked me out😰😫😨😱😓

Great song about the drug issues America faced in the early eighties.

Yeah. So glad we solved that problem. LMAO

R.i, p. Mr. Gleen. Fry miss ya

Damn he must’ve let her take the fall, she’s being booked not him.

ummmm....he's dead

Jason Wawryk yeah I know cause the drug dealer got him.

I was stationed overseas in the Army in ‘85. I was talking with my buddies who were stateside and they kept telling me about this great new show , “ Miami Vice “ !

Great show great actors still watch on forces TV

good groove but this is actually the video?

he was so hot during this time in his career. beautiful sexy man.

Awesome!

I'm not sure why the bad guy ransacked the room and THEN felt the need that he had to jam the magazine into his semi-auto pistol. What the hell is up with that? Did he take his magazine out...then search the room....then have to SLAM it back in....because he realized that there was nobody around to shoot??? At the end of the video he kills Glenn Frey with a revolver...maybe his original semi-auto pistol was defective because the magazine kept popping out and that's why he switched.

The 80s when women still dressed up to go out.

CHILLING...JUST CHILLING !!! ONLY A FEW GET IT!!!

watching a lot of Miami Vice and of course had to revisit this

R.I.P. Glen Frey i remember watching Miami Vice every Friday night first then taking off riding out cruising to lake worth pier parking lot with my other buddies in our street rods Plymouth duster to fish some street acing and make some money. We love playing some Glen Frey and Phil Collins tunes. Wow that was back in 1985. That was some fun days for me

wish Glenn would have taken better care of himself. He died way too young. There was more music to be made.

glen was one hot sexy fella ...........loved him for his music xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx always in my heart ..heat is on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx love you always

Why does everything we want always come from such fucked up places? Oil from the Middle East, cocaine from South America, heroin from Afghanistan...

Lot's of 80s artist will be forever legends for the decade they performed in. Glenn Frey is definitely part of the 80s master soundtrack and an Eagles band member Legend. I only met Don Henley for a moment, but I didn't mention that I recognized him. I saw him at a private party after one of his concerts in Dallas.

So true

The album is “The All-nighter”.

🌴 MIAMI VICE 🌴 Smugglers Blue's, classic episode.

What a crap video of a good song. F this noise! These images despoil our memory of the great Glenn Frey.

Glenn Frey was one handsome dude!

Hello my friend......

Good rock @ roll

Miami spice, the eighties were a magical time

Some cops said this may have been Epstein's demise.....

The new additives are bad crap omfg

me and 80s teen! It was huge!

What caught me off gaurd about this video is the presence of guns. MTV banned guns in their videos around the time of the rise of gangster rap. I had forgotten that any videos depicted them.

Open carry was legal in California until the Black Panthers did it in protest.

I remember when Don Cox, a DJ in South Florida, played this song for I don't know how many hours straight and then got suspended or fired.

Glenn Frey was a GOOD actor and a great singer!

Love his music with the Eagles and solo material

Miami vice was the coolest show ever!!!!

When MTV was commercial free and Miami Vice was at the top!😜

Yeah when he died the Eagles died just like Tom Petty no more Heartbreakers December 13th 2019

Anyone miss the original MTV?

If Bob Seger sang this song, we'd be having this conversation in the shadow of a Bob Seger statue.

He just wasn't expecting a drug dealer disguised as a highway patrolman pull him over shoot him and take the dirty money but goes to show what can go wrong doing this kind of business...

they should of put this song in GTA Vice City

There's some really nice slide guitar work on this tune.

South american drug war 1990-93🗽🐯😒🐍

Miami Vice was a great TV show. Nothing better than Crockett & Tubbs... Rest in Peace Glenn; thank you.

I'm here because of Miami Vice season 4 episode 20. Rip Glen Frey! What a song, the lyric nails it 100%!!!

"Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives."

There's trouble on the street tonight
i can feel it in my bones
i had a premonition
that he should not go alone
i knew the gun was loaded
but i didn't think he'd kill
ev'rything exploded and the
blood began to spill
so baby here's your ticket
put the suitcase in your hand
here's a little money now
do it just the way we planned
you be cool for twenty hours
and i'll pay you twenty grand
i'm sorry it went down like this
someone had to lose
it's the nature of the bus'ness
it's the smuggler's blues
smuggler's blues
The sailors and the pilots
the soldiers and the law
the payoffs and the ripoffs
and the things nobody saw
no matter if it's heroin, cocaine or hash
you've got to carry weapons
cause you always carry cash
thre's lots of shady characters
lots of dirty deals
ev'ry name's an alias
in case somebody squeals
it's the lure of easy money
it's gotta very strong appeal
perhaps you'd understand it better
standin in my shoes
it's the ultimate enticement
it's the smuggler's blues
smuggler's blues
See it in the headlines
you hear it ev'ry day
they say they're gonna stop it
but it doesn't go away
they move it through miami
sell it in l.a.
they hide it up in telluride
i mean it's here to stay
it's propping up the governments
of columbia and peru
you ask any d.e.a. man
he'll say there's nothin we can do
from the office of the president
right down to me and you
me and you
it's a losing proposition
but one you can't refuse
it's the politics of contraband
it's the smuggler's blues
smuggler's blues
.

Krama is an energy which never lets go. Will

Glenn Frey. wish he was still alive, the way he talks. a friend, brother and father.

TheTheratfarmer a lover

I loved Miami Vice and music videos were like mini-movies! I want to go back to the 80’s!! 💜💜💜

I loved the 80s. This video was playing on MTV like every 20 minutes. But, I almost forgot about how many people smoked cigarettes. Ugh! That part I do not miss.

Never goes away !!!!

FATTY SACKS TULSA EAST.... WELCOME. DO UNTO OTHERS AS THEY DO TO YOU... XXX...YEAR 2019

The BEST storyline music video ever made

Also the title of the Miami Vice episode in which he appeared.

Thanks to Anthony cumia, the politics of Contraband it's the Smugglers Blues!

FKN LOVE GLENN FREY! thank you!

Should say every day in California lol there is JM

If it wasn't for men like in this video, God I love cocaine and this Glen fella!

Glen was actually a good actor.Enjoyed him in Miami Vice.He was also Bob Seger's best friends.

It's the lure of easy money, it's got a very strong appeal

YAYO Joe, Fisch scale, Peruvian flake, RIP BIG HIZ

We used to hum this whenever my friends and I were divvying up weed or coke back in the 1980s.  Don't do coke (or anything hard) anymore and now there's legal or medical pot so the smugglers are out of a job, and now have the real blues.

That bad guy following them needs to get that mag release checked must have re inser6 the mag at least 3 times switch to old school revolver by the end

This song really defines '80s partying, esp. down here in South Florida....they were great years!

Miami Vice was good !!!like this song....

I want that BMW 2002!!

What a loss ♡♡♡

I will never forget those days😎🏴‍☠️

thank you

Emilio, how much was one photogragher worth? The pilot from Columbus Ohio? Ringing any bells?

2019
Miami Vice forever
R.I.P. Glen Frey
🌿🌿
Cocaine then
Opioid now

This song brings back memories of the good ole days

Glenn. Eagles.
