Spotlight


Ecrite par David Allan Coe


I can see nothing but spotlights
Spotlights see nothing but me
All of my music is lonely
All of my heartaches were free

Don't waste your time or your flash bulbs
Too many heroes are dead
You like to live in the city
I like to live in my head

Somebody shoot out that spotlight
Spotlights ain't nothing but jive
Roll me a smoke, give me some coke
Treat me like I am alive

Tell all the ladies I'm single
Tell Falls City beer that I'm dry
Everyone's lying 'bout living
Everyone's living a lie

I spend my nighttimes in mourning
I spend my mornings alone
You spent your money to see me tonight
I spent all mine getting stoned

Now that we're both kinda busted
Doesn't it seem kinda strange
I'll lay down knowing we're two of a kind
And you'll leave here knowing my name
(My name is Brett Eugene Ralph
And I'm from Louisville, Kentucky)

Somebody shoot out that spotlight
Spotlights ain't nothing but jive
Roll me a smoke, give me some coke
Treat me like I am alive

Tell all the ladies I'm single
Tell Falls City beer that I'm dry
Everyone's lying 'bout living
Everyone's living a lie
Everyone's lying 'bout living
I'm tired of living...

Tu-tu-tu, tu-tu-tu, tu-tu-tu...
