A letra:
Hey
let him follow you down
Way underground wind and he's bound
Bound
to follow you down
Just a dead beat right off the street
Bound
to follow you down
Well the ballrooms and
smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites
On
stage the band has got problems
They're a bag of nerves on first
nights
He ain't tied down to no home town
Yeah, and he thought
he was wreckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad
Yeah,
and the guitar player gets restless
And his coat is torn
and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the
guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your
heart away
And his coat is torn
and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the
guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Joe's got a cough,
sounds kind a rough
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor
prescribes, drug store supplies
Who's gonna help him to kick it
And his coat is torn
and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the
guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your
heart away
And his coat is torn
and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the
guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as
the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
