DRUNKEN POET S DREAM - HAYES CARLL
[Verse]
IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHE S WILD AS ROME
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE
WINE BOTTLES SCATTERED LIKE LAST NIGHTS CLOTHES
CIGARETTE PAPERS AND DOMINOES
SHE LAUGHS FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THE SHAPE I M IN
SAYS, YOU BE THE SINNER HONEY AND ILL BE THE SIN
[Chorus]
I M GONNA HOLLER AND I M GONNA SCREAM
IM GONNA GET ME SOME MESCALINE
SHE BRINGS ME ROSES AND A PLACE TO LEAN
A DRUNKEN POETS DREAM
[Verse]
THERE S SOME MONEY ON THE TABLE
AND A PISTOL ON THE FLOOR
SOME OLD PAPER BACK BOOKS OF LOUIS L AMOUR
SHE SAYS, HONEY DON T WORRY BOUT JUDGMENT DAY
DYIN TO GET TO HEAVEN JUST AIN T OUR WAY
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[Bridge]
AND ALL MY LIFE I LAID AROUND
WHILE THE COLORS ALL TURNED BLUE
CLOSED MY EYES AND FINALLY
FOUND IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO YOU
[Verse]
IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHES WILD AS ROME
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE
REPEAT CHORUS
[NOTE: Hayes plays this with a capo at the 2nd fret]
