I came in for shelter in Houston town
The sun in my rearview mirror falling flat behind
A hill at Bunker bridge
Her face was glowing when she hailed me in off the street
I said I was looking for a place to sleep
Do you know somewhere where I can eat?
She said, I'll take you, I know this cute little joint
Where steaks are as large and red, as red as you please
And the Bloody Mary's are mean as a venomous disease
She had a red dress
Wore too much perfume
She had a gun but nothing else in her purse
Called herself Kisses & Cuddle
She had a way of leading me astray
And I liked her straight away
La Bonita, the mexican barbeque joint
Under a huge old oak tree
Stretching high in the moonlight
I could feel her feet
Rubbing up against me
The waiter came out with fresh drinks
And said, these are on the house
She leaned forward and looked at and said
It's time for kisses and cuddle
It's time to put some hustle behind these muscles
Kisses and cuddle, wrapped up in the backseat
I gave her my everything
Heavy as lead
Her spirit's like a jackknife carved in my chest
Kisses and cuddle
You touched my ear
What is it you hear
Is it my heart pounding for you?
I can't tell it
I can't tell it
I can't tell it not to
Kisses and cuddle
You were like no other
You were bound you were chained, a mystery
Then you fell flat down in my knees
