Eight Ball Blues - Steve Goodman [Intro] [Verse 1] Well I wish I had some memories that I’d keep inside my trunk I wish I had a nickel for every beer I’ve drunk And I wish I had me a sailing ship that’d take me over the sea I wish I could talk you into coming home with me [Chorus] Is this the part where I came in Well I’ve heard this song before Had a couple too many but I think I can find the door And I do not know your name my friend But I’ve seen that face before Well I saw it in the Jail House And I saw it in the war And I saw it in my mirror A couple of times before [Verse 2] I wish I was the Candyman Sweet as I could be In every town the ladies hang ’round Just to get a taste of me I wish I was an opry star or had me a PhD I wish I had the common sense to be satisfied with me [Chorus] Is this the part where I came in Well I’ve heard this song before Had a couple too many but I think I can find the door And I do not know your name my friend But I’ve seen that face before Well I saw it in the Jail House And I saw it in the war And I saw it in my mirror A couple of times before [Verse 3] I wish I had a magic pocket that’d keep all my money in I wish I knew a good excuse for all of my mortal sins Well they say to know the best in life you gotta know the worst I wish that I had been the clown who thought up that one first [Chorus] Is this the part where I came in Well I’ve heard this song before Had a couple too many but I think I can find the door And I do not know your name my friend But I’ve seen that face before Well I saw it in the Jail House And I saw it in the war And I saw it in my mirror A couple of times before Let me tell you I saw it in the Jail House It was on the post office door And I saw it in my mirror A couple of times before Good People I saw it in the jail house I saw it in the war Lord I saw it in the mirror ...

Cette chanson évoque des désirs et des regrets, où le narrateur souhaite avoir des souvenirs précieux et des choses qui pourraient rendre sa vie meilleure, comme un bateau pour voyager ou simplement être satisfait de lui-même. Le ton est mélancolique, mêlant nostalgie et réalisme, alors qu’il réfléchit aux visages familiers de son passé, qu'il a croisés dans des moments difficiles comme en prison ou en guerre. L'artiste exprime une quête de sens à travers ses souhaits, tout en affrontant les réalités de sa condition humaine, marquée par les péchés et les imperfections. Dans l'ensemble, c'est une exploration sincère des aspirations et des luttes personnelles.
