Laid Back and Wasted David Allan Coe

By D. Murphy

Laid back and wasted
Driven to drinking
A woman ain't nothing to lose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

I spent a lifetime
Looking for the answers
Somewhere in search of my soul
I lost it in Nashville
I found it in Austin
I sold it in New Mexico

Ten thousand miles
Of road dust can't cover
The scars that I put on my arm
And the bridges I'm burning
Will never erase
The scars that they've put on my heart

Dying looks easy
Drifting gets harder
I don't know which one to choose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues
