BTP - DeVille Lyrics




She was a beauty of some sort close to thirty years aged
Chipped, scratched and battered, I knew she would play
When I plucked the strings on the guitar, it rang out a chord floating on winds from afar
I thought of a song, one of painful misery, about a man and his love separated at sea
I thought of a song, one of painful misery, about a man and his love separated at sea

I find myself crawling up to that bar, I hear the music and it aint to far
See this girl sitting next to me, we talk about things that will set us free
I said there's one thing you've got to know, music's my woman I can't let her go
But just for one night, yea just for one night we can make it right

Oh DeVille where can you be?
I've been searching but I cannot see
You were the body to my soul
But now you're heading on down to ol' Mexico

As the days rolled on from town to town, from liquor to beer, from smile to frown
Sunset, sunrise, full moon to the West, I was kicked out to the street because I was a mess
Jose, Jack, and even Jimmy Beam could not understand the pain I'd seen
Mr Bartender won't you give me a drink, he said "young man, you could use some time to think"

Oh DeVille where can you be?
I've been searching but I cannot see.
You were the body to my soul
But now you're heading on down to ol' Mexico

Late Tuesday night I headed down to Manny's, was checking out tunes from a local band
I thought to myself, at least it's some music, but it wasn't the same I couldn't call it my own
Right around Midnight I was thrown out again, tossed by the dumpster where I laid my head
A mirage in the sand out the corner my eye, guitar in shambles hand me down from the sky

Oh DeVille where can you be?
I've been searching but I cannot see
You were the body to my soul
But now you're heading on down to ol' Mexico
