Steve Earle — South Nashville Blues

I went downtown, it was just to ease my pain I went downtown, it was just to easy my pain I ended up out walking 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 need to get me killed Southside gals, they suit me just fine Southside gals, 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 rocking in his rocking 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 go way down in the bottoms and I come back up again Now Mama told me, Papa too They both talked till they turned blue But I got them old South Nashville blues again I won't be satisfied until they lock me up again
