| 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 |
