It was Della and a 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 a 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

Yeah, Randy played her a sweet love song
And Della got a fire in her eyes
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

Yeah, 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 he swore that Boone would die

And the stage was set when the lights went out
There was death in Tucson town
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
But 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 a dog and a cat ran too
And the tires got hot on the pickup truck
As down the road they flew

Yeah Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo
Left Tucson in a pickup truck
Gonna make some dreams come true

Yeah, yeah...

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

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

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
