[00:28.121]I still remember Miss Bessie singing
[00:34.678]Black, wrinkled fingers on ivory keys
[00:41.574]Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling
[00:47.504]Yeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song
[00:57.875]With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
[01:04.745]That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
[01:11.040]I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it
[01:18.616]Married to a dream with a mistress named music
[01:25.512]
[01:39.514]No hope and squarely solitary
[01:45.679]Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind
[01:53.463]Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me
[01:57.956]Even that cop car rolling past
[02:01.927]By the time they hit the front door
[02:04.487]I was out the back
[02:06.185]With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
[02:13.212]That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
[02:19.899]I got a crazy crazy heart, and I was born to lose it
[02:27.213]Married to a dream with a mistress named music
[02:33.509]Nah nah nah nah nah nah ...
[02:40.449]Nah nah nah nah nah nah ...
[02:48.033]White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon
[02:55.609]These same old boots are still tapping time
[03:02.165]Not quite the buzz I used to tie on
[03:07.468]But 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song
[03:14.913]
[04:23.432]With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
[04:30.329]That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
[04:37.042]I got a crazy heart, and I was born to lose it
[04:44.173]Married to a dream with a mistress named music
[04:50.965]I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music
[04:58.044]
