'Juice' - Toby Walker

Lyrics and music by Toby Walker.
© 2012 Loose Truth Music - BMI. All rights reserved.


Jersey Red was a poolroom bum
Didn’t have much but he sure had some
Juice on that one way street

16 tables in a damp pool hall
White turning yellow on that old cue ball

From the juice, on that one way street

Fats came in, floating on a breeze
Packed a 38 special had a dead man’s squeeze
Made a deuce on the Cincinnati kid
Would’ve won more but he hit a skid

But that fat man, he ain’t never been beat

He was a 3 cushion champ with a good run of luck
But now the booze and the pills are quickly catching up.
But he stays on that one way street

The boardwalk’s hot, the action’s steady
50 ball run and you better be ready
For the juice on that one way street

You rent a 20 dollar room with a rusty hot plate
Got a game down the road and you’re running late
You got the juice, for that one way street.

A big pay day against a no talent hack
That’s a sure bet you’re never coming back
You got a Viper cue stick you think you’re tough
But you better be prepared may not be enough
Cause that fat man, he ain’t never been beat

He was a 3 cushion champ with a good run of luck
But now the booze and the pills are quickly catching up.
He’s never gonna stop, it’s never gonna end
Cause he knows what’s waiting just around the bend
He knows there's juice, on that one way street.
