Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hey, let him follow you down Way underground wind and he's bound Bound to follow you down Just a dead beat right off the street Bound to follow you down [Chorus] Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos And dressing rooms filled with parasites On stage the band has got problems They're a bag of nerves on first nights [Verse 2] He ain't tied down to no home town Yeah, and he thought he was reckless You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless [Chorus] But his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away Steal your heart away [Pedal Steel Guitar Solo] [Chorus] But his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away [Verse 3] Joe's got a cough, sounds kind of rough Yeah, and the codeine to fix it Doctor prescribes drug store supplies Who's gonna help him to kick it? [Chorus] And his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Let it steal your heart away Steal your heart away [Outro] But his coat is torn and frayed It's seen much better days Just as long as the guitar plays Just as long as the guitar plays Just as long as the guitar plays Just as long as the guitar plays
