Well I don't care if I get arrested, |
|
'Cos tonight they'll need more than a ball and chain, |
|
I don't care who's interested, |
|
I'm coming into town just the same. |
|
I've been so alone, I've been feeling blue, |
|
I think I need a little drink or two, |
|
Be my friend, tell me where the place is, |
|
Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn? |
|
My baby's done me wrong you must have guessed it, |
|
My heart's so low I think it must be told, |
|
That I don't wanna know where east or west is, |
|
'Cos pretty soon I won't feel the cold. |
|
When I'm walking down mainstreet, feeling no pain, |
|
Along comes a cop, he can take my name, |
|
And explain to me what a federal case is, |
|
I'm mixing the barley with the grape again. |
|
Bright city lights, make me feel alright, |
|
I'm right or wrong and tomorrow never comes. |
|
I don't care if I get investigated, |
|
And the city fathers they all black my name. |
|
I'm pretty sure that you can smell the traces, |
|
For tomorrow morning, I'll take all the blame. |
|
I've been feeling bad and feeling blue, |
|
I think I need a little whiskey or two, |
|
God, brother, you look like you could do with it too. |
|
(That's true) |
|
Tonight I'll sleep on a walking-cane. |
|
Bright city lights, make me feel alright, |
|
I'm right or wrong and tomorrow never comes. |
|
I don't care if I get arrested, |
|
Cause tonight they'll need more than a ball and chain. |
|
I don't care who's interested, |
|
I'm coming into town just the same, |
|
I've been feeling alone and I've been feeling blue. |
|
I think I need a little drink or two. |
|
Hey, be my friend, tell me where the place is, |
|
Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn |
