Steve Earle - Drunken Angel lyrics

Sun came up it was another day And the sun went down you were blown away Why'd you let go of your guitar Why'd you ever let it go that far Drunken angel Could've held on to that long smooth neck Let your hand remember every fret Fingers touching each shiny string But you let go of everything Drunken angel Drunken angel You're on the other side Drunken angel You're on the other side Followers would cling to you Hang around just to meet you Some threw roses at your feet And watch you pa** out on the street Drunken angel Feed you and pay off all your debts Kiss your brow taste your sweat Write about your soul your guts Criticize you and wish you luck Drunken angel Drunken angel You're on the other side Drunken angel You're on the other side Some kind of savior singin' the blues A derelict in your duct tape shoes Your orphan clothes and your long dark hair Looking like you didn't care Drunken angel Blood spilled out from the hole in your heart Over the strings of your guitar The worn down places in the wood That once made you feel so good Drunken angel Drunken angel You're on the other side Drunken angel You're on the other side Sun came up it was another day And the sun went down you were blown away Why'd you let go of your guitar Why'd you ever let it go that far Drunken angel Drunken angel
