I powdered my nose in Alabama - Out on a limb Powdered my nose in Indiana - Ain't that a sin I had to get my butt out quick It always works - the old, old trick I got away just in the nick of time, that's why I powdered my nose in Oklahoma - Over the top I wasted away in New Orleans - I couldn't stop Down in the alley - happy dust Me and Romona we was gettin' bust I got away just in the nick of time, that's why I got the nickname the Gypsy Roadhog On the California trail I gotta keep my wheels movin' on I gotta keep me outa jail Powdered my nose in San Francisco down on the bay It went to my head down in New York City I was blasted away And two ugly scuts bust in the room They took away my little silver spoon I got away just in the nick of time, that's why (CHORUS) I'm comin' through, through, through I'm looking for you
