I feel alright tonight
Now I bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines
And conjurers from darker times
Of betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
That I feel alright
I feel alright tonight
I feel alright
I feel alright tonight
I've got everything you want and need
Your darkest fear your fondest dreams
Ask you questions tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Well be careful what you wish for friend
'Cause I've been to hell and now I'm back again
I feel alright
Yeah I feel alright tonight
Yeah I feel alright
And I feel alright tonight
I feel alright
I feel alright

D
He's the last of the hard-core troubadours
Girl, better figure out which is which
Wherefore art thou Romeo you son of a bitch
You'd just as soon fight as switch, now wouldn't ya?
He come to make love on your satin sheets, wake up on your living room floor
He's the last of the hard-core troubadours
C

He's the last of the all-night, do-right

Stand beneath your window till daylight

When he moves off again and he leaves you lonely and blue
You knew he's just passin' through, now didn't ya?
You can just tell yourself it's the last time baby, like you always did before
He's the last of the hard-core troubadours
He's the last of the all-night, do-right
Stand beneath your window 'til daylight
He's the last of the hard-core troubadours
Tell me what you're waitin' for
He's the last of the all-night, do-right
Hey Rosalita would you come out tonight
He's the last of the hard-core troubadours

I wind up right back where I started
I'm trying not to let you know
That I'm still in love with you
I can't just sit home blue
Cause there ain't no rest for the broken hearted

Just because you won't unlock your door

You told me that I got to stop
But it's more than I can do
And that ain't nothing new
Cause we both know I'm crazy about you
You said you're gonna call the cops
But I ain't gonna run
Because you're the only one
There ain't no way I could live without you
You left me just when I needed you
So I ain't even close to through with you
I'm never gonna let you go
No matter what you do
Because you know it's more that I can do

Woke up alone, now she's gone

She done me wrong, Now she's gone

Uh-oh, what's a poor boy gonna do?
It's bad enough to love you from afar
Me down here and you up where you are
If you hadn't given me that look
That's all it took, it's true
Uh-oh, what's a poor boy gonna do?
A

Baby what's a poor boy got?
B

Not a heck of a lot, just a heart that's true
A

One thing he sure don't need
F#

Is a heart that bleeds and these lovesick blues
I know a poor boy can't go far
Baby, maybe someday drive your car
I can look in my rear view
Into those eyes of blue
Uh-oh, what's a poor boy gonna do?

Now he's out on the highway
He's got the key and the right of way
His tank is full and his toll's paid
Hellbound and determined
He run a dangerous payload
When he comes to the crossroads
Ah, man it's all times to explode
You'll just see the sky burnin'
Cause he's totally untamed
No fear of the unnamed
But he'll take the blame
Cause someone's gotta do it
Now he's standin' at hell's door
With a bad attitude and a forty-four
The devil said, "What's up man, now what you come here for?"
He said, "Man, let's just get to it"
He said, "I always heard that you were the bad one
There's a few places I ain't been, a few things I ain't done
You got your pitchfork and I got my gun"
Someone's gotta do it
Cause he's totally untamed
No fear of the unnamed
But he'll take the blame
Cause someone's gotta do it, someone's gotta...
Cocaine Cannot Kill My Pain
Dsus2
Yeah, cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Now whiskey got no hold on me
Whiskey got no hold on me
Whiskey got no hold on me
Left them chains in Tennessee
Whiskey got no hold on me
Now don't come knocking on my door
Girl, don't come knocking on my door
Don't come knocking on my door
Even that won't work no more
Don't come knocking on my door
'Cause heroin's the only thing
Heroin's the only thing
Heroin's the only thing
The only gift the darkness brings
Heroin's the only thing
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
At least until these blues have gone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Billy And Bonnie
Billy was seventeen, mean as hell
Bonnie said she was thirty, it was hard to tell
Now Billy met Bonnie on a Saturday night
At the dirt track races, it was love at first sight
Now Bonnie was wilder than the west wind blows
Taught Billy every single thing he knows
But she never told Billy what she left out
The part about the trouble when your times runs out
When the thrill is gone, when your deal goes south
It's all over when your time runs out
Well Bonnie said, "Billy, don't you think it's time
We moved on a little further down the line?"
So they knocked off a Texaco south of town
Blew down the highway with the rag-top down
Now Billy woke Bonnie up about daylight
Said, "You drive, honey, I've been up all night"
Now Billy wasn't sweating no APB
Because they didn't leave a single soul alive to see
He was just 16, made his mama proud
That don't mean nothing when your time runs out
Now Bonnie kept pushing that Cadillac
Billy passed out with the seat reared back
Slept through Louisiana, then just past dark
Bonnie pulled over in a roadside park
Left Billy sleeping and she called the cops
He never knew nothing when the dime was dropped
Now Bonnie knew what she had to do
She called the sheriff and she cried on cue
And the state police rousted Billy out
He was dreaming about Bonnie when his time ran out
The sheriff told Billy, "Boy, you're bound to die
'Cause this young lady's going to testify
That you done took her off against her will
And she told us about the robbery and the boy you killed"
Now the judge said, "Billy, what you got to say
Before I have the sheriff carry you away?"
Now Billy looked Bonnie right in the eye
But he didn't even have to ask her why
But he turned around as they led him out
He said, "I'll see you down in hell when your time runs out"

I ended up out walkin' 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 needed to get me killed
The Southside girls, they suit me just fine
The Southside girls, 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 rockin' in his rockin' 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 ol' South Nashville blues again
I won't be satisfied until they lock me up again
You're Still Standin' There

I've been down a thousand trails I've never walked before
I found out that without fail they lead me to your door

Now lately I see all the signs, I feel it in the wind
And the same thing happens every time that you come back again
I admit that there are nights, when I sit up and cry
And sometimes I turn out the lights and pray you'll pass me by
And the world keeps turning round and round
It leaves me hanging in the air
My heart keeps turning upside down
And you're still standin' there

Since you're gone my empty arms got nothing left to hold
And your memory cannot keep me warm but it never leaves me cold

My heart keeps turning upside down
And you're still standin' there
And the world keeps turning round and round
It leaves me hanging in the air
My heart keeps turning upside down
And you're still standin' there
