Bourbon and the Blues Songtext
von Whitey Morgan and the 78’s

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
