David Allan Coe - Spotlight
Capo 1
G D G
I can't see nothin' but Spotlights
C G
Spotlights see nothin' but me
All of my music is lonely
A D
Yeah all of my heartaches were free
G D G
Don't waste your time or your flash bulbs
C G
Too many heroes are dead
C G Em
You like to live in the city
A D
Yeah, I like to live in my head.
[Chorus]
C D G
Somebody shoot out that Spotlight
C G
Spotlights ain't nothin' but jive
Roll me a smoke, and give me some coke
A D
Treat me like I am alive
G D G
Tell all the ladies I'm single
C G
Tell lone star beer that I'm dry
C G Em
Everyone's lyin' bout livin'
D C G
Everyone?s livin? a lie.
G D G
I spend my night times in mournin'
C G
I spend my morning's alone
Em
You spent your money to see me tonight
A D
Yeah, I spent all mine gettin' stoned.
G D G
Now that they're both kinda busted
C G
Doesn't it seem kinda strange
C G Em
That I lay down knowing we're two of a kind
A D
And you'll leave here knowing my name.
[Chorus]
C G Em
Everyone's lyin' bout livin'
D C G
I'm tired of livin' a lie.
