BOZ SCAGGS 는 세련된 팝/락, 또는 퓨전 등 여러 영역에서 인기를 얻은 바 있는 거물 아티스트다. 한때 그의 음악들은 스튜디오 세션의 교과서와도 같이 받아들여질 만큼 사운드적으로 깔끔하고 정선된 것이라 기성 세션맨들 사이에서 토토나 스틸리 댄 몇몇과 함께 반드시 들어보아야 할 아이템 중의 하나로 여겨졌었다. 듀언 올맨과 함께 한 불멸의 블루스 명곡 'Loan Me A Dime'에서 제프 포카로의 섬세한 드럼 필인이 빛나는 경쾌한 'Lowdown', 그리고 애절한 러브 발라드 'We're All Alone' 등에 이르기까지 보즈 스캑스는 1960년대 말엽에서 1980년대까지 미국 음악계의 수준을 한 단계 끌어올렸다는 평가를 받은 바 있다.

Baby′s into running around Hanging with the crowd Putting your business in the street talking out loud Saying you bought her this and that And how much you done spent I swear she must believe it′s all heaven sent Hey boy you better bring the chick around To the sad truth the dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder who) taught her how to talk like that (Who I wonder who) gave her that big idea
Nothing you can′t handle nothing you ain′t got Put the money on the table and drive it off the lot Turn on that ole lovelight and turn a maybe to a yes Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess Hey son better get back to town Face the sad old truth the dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder who) put those ideas in your head (Who I wonder who) yeah Come on back down little son Dig the low low low low lowdown
You ain′t got to be so bad got to be so cold This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old Got to have a Jones for this Jones for that This running with the Joneses boy Just ain′t where it′s at You gonna come back around To the sad sad truth the dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder who) got you thinking like that boy (Who I wonder who) (Who I wonder who said who I wonder who) Oh look out for that lowdown That dirty dirty dirty dirty lowdown (Who I wonder who ohh ohh) Got you thinking like that
Son of a Tokyo Rose I was bound to wander from home Stranger to whatever I'd awaken to Spun the wheel, took a shot in the dark One way ticket and a runaway heart A sailor's dream came true the night I dreamed you
Through the neon doorways Down the stony streets I fell All hands high side, all eyes erect, I follow Sailing shadows, reds and blues Curtains drawn but I saw through The window to your soul, and I found you
Whoa, the harbor lights of Venus Shining through the breeze That brings me back to you my love To you my love, to you my love
My eyes must be betraying But that lonesome jukebox playing Something about the harbor lights is calling me Back to some Jamaican Bay Doesn't seem so far away Keep the change, but I'll repay these memories
Dawn came in this morning Like some old junked out melody The words she spoke when we awoke still haunt me What you feel too won't reveal you Let me steal you from my life
Whoah, the harbour lights of Venus Shining through the breeze That brings me back to you my love To you my love, to you my love
Look out behind you Jojo's got his gun He wouldn't mean to do but Ya know he likes his fun Jojo dig those spinning lights Way out games and dizzy heights below him Jojo dig those Broadway nights Flashy lines, you know him.
He's got you covered You'll know it right our front Hey fifty dollars He'll get you all you want Jojo dig those spinning lights Way out games and dizzy heights below him Jojo dig those Broadway nights Flashy lines, you know him.
Ever so rarely that man in a millon's born Gentle and soft, but who'd just as soon off you For looking the wrong way as not Jojo, go Jo
His baby stays high Got to keep her sweet He keeps her just right Keeps her on the street Jojo dig those spinning lights Way out games and dizzy heights below him Jojo dig those Broadway nights Oh, you know him.
Do you know you are so nice Do you care I'd love to take you home Jojo dig those spinning lights Way out games and dizzy heights below him ......Broadway nights you know him.
Say, what do you think of gentlemen wearing mink Gentle and soft, but who'd just as soon off you For looking the wrong way as not Jojo, go Jo

I'm sorry but It don't make sense You'd be a fool If you just run out on first offense Ooh baby play it smart Before you go south with your big mouth Better check your heart
Danger there's a breakdown dead ahead Maybe you're in way above your head I may burn.. might upset you But you know I'd never let you down
I told ya No more lying No more tears a falling Stop your cryin' Ooh baby I'm your man Before you go back to your side track Baby understand

Take what you need, just leave me a key and go I'm all out of answers except where I don't know This hanging around is dragging us down, you know Everything changes, I guess we let it go
Take care of yourself, you'll learn to live again Wary but wiser in the end, perhaps, oh well Just go I'm all out of answers, but yes, the answers no
Here comes old chaos, now there's a friend And he'll have us laughing in the end, but crying now Just go Everything changes, oh yes, well there you go, there you go
Georgia I swear I've never seen such a smile Gorgeous enough To make an angels heart run wild Your lazy eyes and small town lies Have got me in your spell Your drive-in boys and backseat noises Oh you learned so well Oh oh oh So how was I to know You got me you got me... by now
Georgia Your daddy was high The night he dreamed of you Georgia the stars were flying The night that you came through Christmas in your eyes Oh what a nice surprise Oh oh oh And now I miss you so But baby I'm comin' back to you

Lido missed the boat that day, he left the shack But that was all he missed, and he ain't comin' back At a tombstone bar in a juke joint car, he made a stop Just long enough to grab a handle off the top
Next stop, Chi-town, Lido put the money down, let it roll He said, "One more job oughta get it One last shot 'fore we quit it One for the road"
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's a-waitin' for the go Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh He said, "One more job oughta get it One last shot 'fore we quit it One more for the road"
Lido be runnin', havin' great big fun until he got the note Saying, "Tow the line or blow it," and that was all she wrote He be makin' like a beeline headin' for the border line, goin' for broke Sayin', "One more hit oughta do it This joint, ain't nothin' to it One more for the road"
Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's a-waitin' for the go Lido, whoa, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh "One more job oughta get it One last shot, then we quit it One more for the road"

Outside the rain begins And it may never end so cry no more On the shore a dream will take us Out to sea forever more Forever more close your eyes ami And you can be with me neath the waves Through the caves of hours Long forgotten now we're all alone We're all alone close the window Calm a light and it will be alright No need to bother now let it out Let it all begin learn how to pretend
Once a story's told it can't help But grow old roses do lovers too So cast your seasons to the wind And hold me dear oh hold me dear Close the window calm a light And it will be alright no need to bother now Let it out let it all begin All's forgotten now we're all alone All alone close the window Calm the light and it will be alright No need to bother now let it out Let it all begin all it to the wind My love hold me dear
