[ Featuring 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 burnin'
Hard times, they lit the fuse
And I'm a ride along this lonesome train
Called bourbon and the blues
I keep one foot on the ladder
The other one on the sly
Jesus and the devil
They just won't let me decide
I keep gettin' same advice
Hank Williams never used
Now I'm somewhere south of Birmingham
With Bourbon and the Blues
And they say
Boy you ought'a 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 burnin'
Hard times, they lit the fuse
I'm a rider on this lonesome train
Called bourbon and the blues
And they say
Boy you ought'a 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
The Bourbon and the blues
Hell the only friends that understand
The Bourbon and the blues
Bourbon and the blues
