South Nashville Blues Songtext
von Steve Earle

I went downtown
It was just to ease my pain
I went downtown
It was just to ease my pain
I ended up out walkin′ in the rain

I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I had everything I needed to get me killed


Southside girls
They suit me just fine
Southside girls
They suit me just fine
As long as I got money they don't whine

The devil lives on Lewis Street I swear
The devil lives on Lewis Street I swear
I seen him rockin′ in his rockin' chair

I start way up top of Lewis Street
And I walk down to the end
I start way up top and I walk down to the end
I'm going way down in the bottoms
And I come back up again

Now Mama told me, Papa too
They both talked ′til they turned blue
But I got them ol′ South Nashville blues again
I won't be satisfied until they lock me up again
