Steve Earle (born Stephen Fain Earle on January 17, 1955 in San Antonio, Texas) is a singer-songwriter best known for his country music and rock 'n roll tinged "alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Earle also had small roles on the HBO television shows "The Wire" and "Treme".

VERSE:
GAm
Girl, don't bother him, lock your door,
CDG
Sat there hollerin' "Darlin' don't you love me no more?"
AmCAmD
You always let him in before, now didn't ya?
CD
He's just singin' the same old songs
GC
That he always sang before.
AmDG
He's the last of the hardcore troubadours.
(continue chord progression throughout)
Now girl, let him figure out which is which, Wherefore art thou Romeo, you son of a bitch. You'd just as soon fight as switch now, wouldn't you?
He'd come to make love on your satin sheets, Wake up on your living room floor, He's the last of the hardcore troubadours.
He's the last of the all-night, do right, Stand beneath your window 'til daylight. He's the last of the hardcore troubadours. Baby, what you waitin' for?
Girl, figure out what you're gonna do. When he moves on again and he leaves you alone and blue, But you knew he is just passin' through now didn't you?
And now you can't just say this is the last time baby Like you always did before. He's the last of the hard-core troubadours.
