Postcards From Hell |
I know a man who sings the blues |
Yeah he plays just what he feels |
Keeps a letter in the pocket of his coat |
But he never breaks the seal |
Set up in a barroom corner |
Playing for tips and beer |
People carrying on and drinking |
You gotta strain to hear |
I’ve seen him playing some old cheap guitar |
But he could play on pots and pans |
You never heard a soul so pure and true |
It’s flowing right out of his hands |
He can sing sweet as a choir girl |
Or he can sing a house on fire |
I’ve seen him calling up the angels |
And use a breeze for a telephone wire |
And if you ask him |
How he sings his blues so well |
He says |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
And I don’t read postcards from hell |
Says he came from down in Texas |
Playin' out since he’s fifteen |
You can hear a little Chicago |
And a lot of New Orleans |
Hecan take you on a freight train |
He can take you down the alley |
He can take you to the church |
He can walk you through the valley |
And if you ask him |
How he sings his blues so well |
He says |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
And I don’t read postcards from hell |
I’ve seen him sleeping in a doorway |
Maybe living outside |
On his back just like a cockroach |
But he ain’t waiting to die |
And if you ask him |
How he sings his blues so well |
He says |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
I got a soul that I won’t sell |
And I don’t read postcards from hell |
