From the recording Tired of Troubadours
Lyrics
The devil speaks to me and asks me why I’m all alone.
The devil speaks to me at night, and asks me why I’m all alone.
Nobody is my closest friend. No where’s my only home.
Had bourbon for dinner, rye whiskey for dessert.
Had me some bourbon for dinner, rye whiskey for dessert.
Nothing else on the menu but a plate full of pain and hurt.
A voice is calling me down on Cookman Avenue.
A voice is calling my name down on Cookman Avenue.
Says finish up that bottle and you’ll know what to do.
Nothing stays the same. No one has the key.
Never is such a long time. She won’t ever be with me.
Water washes away the sorrow and swallows up the tears.
Water washes away the sorrow and swallows up the tears.
Find the deepest darkest water and it all disappears.
The devil speaks to me and asks me why I’m alone.
The devil speaks to me at night and asks why I’m all alone.
Nobody is my closest friend. No where’s my only home.
