It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
Left the city in a pick up truck
Gonna make some dreams come true
Yeah, they rolled out west where the wild sun sets
And the coyote bays at the moon
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well?
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
Down Tucson way there's a small cafe
Where they play a little cowboy tune
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Randy Boone
Yea, Randy played her a sweet love song
And Della got a fire in her eye
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun
And the cat had a shot of Rye
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well?
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
Yea, the dealer was a killer
He was evil and mean
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes
He snorted his coke through a century note
And swore that Boone would die
The stage was set when the lights went out
There was death in Tucson town
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
And one stayed on the ground
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well?
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
Two shadows ran from the bar that night
And dog and cat ran too
And the tires got hot on the pick up truck
As down the road they flew
It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
Left Tucson in a pick-up truck
Gonna make some dreams come true
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well?
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumblin' word
