Double Coyote (Damn Yankees, featuring Tommy Shaw)

Double Coyote
Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades, Ted Nugent
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw

I was standing on the corner with a suitcase in my hand
There was a woman right behind me sayin' "honey won't you be a man"
I said I'd love to baby, but I've got to go be with this band

I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go honey go
Double coyote man

I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
Double coyote man

I couldn't believe it when somebody said
You was out on the road with another band

I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go

I got to go go go
Go baby go
Go mama go
Double coyote man
Yes I am
You all work that thing out now, c'mon

"I couldn't believe it when somebody said you was out on the road in the back of the bus with the opening act and the technical crew and the manager too...what's the matter with you, man?"

Interpretation

A band member is trying to avoid the advances of a groupie that approaches him in the hotel.

Note: A coyote caught in a hunter's trap might chew off its leg to escape with its life. A slang usage of the term double coyote is where you regret sleeping with a girl so you chewing off your arm so as not to awaken her when you slip out of bed and then you have to chew off your other arm so that she won't immediately recognize you.
