Steve Earle - South Nashville Blues lyrics
[Steve Earle - South Nashville Blues lyrics]
I went downtown, it was just to easy my pain
I ended up out walking in the rain
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I had everything I need to get me killed
Southside gals, they suit me just fine
Southside gals, they suit me just fine
As long as I got money, they don't whine
The devil lives on Lewis Street, I swear
The devil lives on Lewis Street, I swear
I seen him rocking in his rocking chair
I start way up top of Lewis Street
And I walk down to the end
I start way up top and I walk down to the end
I go way down in the bottoms
And I come back up again
Now Mama told me, Papa too
They both talked till they turned blue
But, I got them old
South Nashville blues again
I won't be satisfied until they
Lock me up again
