Bourbon and the Blues

I got holes in both my pockets where all the money goes And this guitar life is lonesome, it's the only life I know It's a fire that keeps on burning, hard times they lit the fuse I'm a rider on this lonesome train called "Bourbon and the Blues" I keep one foot on the ladder, the other one on the slide Jesus and the Devil, they just won't let me decide I keep gettin' the same advice Hank Williams never used Now I'm somewhere south of Birmingham with bourbon and the blues And they say "Boy, you oughta change your whiskey ways" They don't know it ain't my choice to choose It's a stubborn kind of crazy keeps my head here in the noose And the only friends that understand is bourbon and the blues I got holes in both my pockets where all the money goes And this guitar life is lonesome, it's the only life I know It's a fire that keeps on burning, them hard times they lit the fuse I'm a rider on this lonesome train called "Bourbon and the Blues" And they say "Boy, you oughta change your whiskey ways" They don't know it ain't my choice to choose It's a stubborn kind of crazy keeps my head here in the noose And the only friends that understand is bourbon and the blues Yeah the only friends that understand is bourbon and the blues The only friends that understand is bourbon and the blues Bourbon and the blues
