Junkie and the Juicehead minus me
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I was a stumble bummin' down the neon Music City sidewalks
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
With the Junkie and the Juicehead who had problems of their own
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Stuck with luck it kept me standin' just a step away from starvin'
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And the talent that I swore I'd show before I'd go back home
ch]G[/ch
Ninety days I looked the army makin' neither love nor money
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And my only set of clothes was gettin' closer to the bone
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the Junkie placed an order with the Prophet on the corner
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And he told him of the soul that he'd been sellin' for a song
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
He said my future was my fortune but I let it slip away
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Slowly smokin' myself broke on eighty cigarettes a day
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Findin' out that crime ain't all there is that doesn't pay
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And writin' words that no one's gonna see but did you said it who said it
ch]D[/ch
I can read my fortune in the bottom of a glass
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I can see it's time for me to make my last request
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Won't you fill my grave with whiskey when I'm laid away to rest
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
So the boys can say I drank myself to dead
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Well I drank the whole thing over puttin' one and two together
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And it added up to more of what I didn't want to be
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I ain't blamin' Music City but it's only gonna see me
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
One more day and the wake up and the time it takes to leave
ch]G[/ch
Cause I got a dirty picture of what could have been my future
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
In a Prophet pushin' day dreams on a corner for a fee
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the wino lookin' lonely at a bottle gettin' empty
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And a hungry lookin' junkie huntin' tea in sympathy
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I bet that junkie's laughin' after the life he threw away
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Slowly smokin' himself broke on eighty cigarettes a day
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Pleadin' down the Prophet to a price that he can pay
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And writin' words that no one's gonna see but did you said it who said it
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Every empty bottle is my private crystal ball
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And starin' into the future findin' nothin' there at all
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Which is what I'll miss tomorrow when the neon shadows fall
ch]A[/ch
On the Junkie and the Juicehead minus me
