Deep End Man

11. DEEP-END MAN

Still waters run deep: we’ve all known folks like this guy; he might not say a lot, but you can’t pull the wool over his eyes. Steve thought of his Dad Don Gulley, a longtime deejay and singer at Renfro Valley, Kentucky. Quiet and strong.

No double vision, No Feet of sand
He knows a liar like the back of his hand
Don’t sell him no chances on the promised land

But He’s a Deep-end man
It’s all first-run, not second-hand
He’s a Deep-end man

You can talk all day about your master plans
All that money you say you’re gonna put in his hand
It might be hard for you to understand

Cause He’s a Deep-end man
Don’t even try to get the upper hand
He’s a Deep-end man

He don’t say much, but he says a lot
If you think you’re gonna change him, better hold that thought
Cause he’s a deep end man

You can’t judge a man by a surface line
Still waters seem to suit him just fine
He don’t have time for a shallow mind

Cause He’s a Deep-end man
He’s cool jazz, not Dixieland
He’s a Deep-end man
