Amsterdam

by Jimmy LaFave

Lyrics
Biggest touchdown about a quarter past nine
The immigration man pulled me out of line
I talked to him but he said it man to man
I'm trying to kick back in Am
Mmm, Amsterdam
You know it's all that I am
I took a twelve-hour flight to this foreign land
And I'm trying to kick back in Amsterdam

Look at the clock, it's a quarter past ten
I, I answer all the questions so they let me in
I grab a taxi cab down to the Hotel Grand
Now I'm kickin' back in A
Amsterdam
Don't you know that I am?
I got a smile on my face, I got a full proof plan
I'm kickin' back in Amsterdam

This ain't Texas, this ain't Tennessee
It's the feast of paradise, the Lord's in sight of me
I'm, I'm lookin' through the window, I think you understand
I'm kickin' back in A
Amsterdam
I got a drink in my hand
And I do these things just because I can
Kickin' back in Amsterdam

Three a.m., I'm in a coffee club
Searchin' through the haze, gotta find true love
A little Dutch to be taken by the hand
She's a-help me kick back in A
Amsterdam

I'm gonna make my stand
I promise you, babe, I'll do the best I can
Kickin' back, kickin' back, woo!
Kickin' back in A
Amsterdam
Kickin' back in Amsterdam

Oh, kickin' on back right now
Kickin' back in Amsterdam
