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, 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
