Well I don`t care if I get arrested,
`Cos tonight they`ll need more than a ball and chain,
I don`t care who`s interested,
I`m coming into town just the same.
I`ve been so alone, I`ve been feeling blue,
I think I need a little drink or two,
Be my friend, tell me where the place is,
Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn?
My baby`s done me wrong you must have guessed it,
My heart`s so low I think it must be told,
That I don`t wanna know where east or west is,
`Cos pretty soon I won`t feel the cold.
When I`m walking down mainstreet, feeling no pain,
Along comes a cop, he can take my name,
And explain to me what a federal case is,
I`m mixing the barley with the grape again.
Bright city lights, make me feel alright,
I`m right or wrong and tomorrow never comes.
I don`t care if I get investigated,
And the city fathers they all black my name.
I`m pretty sure that you can smell the traces,
For tomorrow morning, I`ll take all the blame.
I`ve been feeling bad and feeling blue,
I think I need a little whiskey or two,
God, brother, you look like you could do with it too.
(That`s true)
Tonight I`ll sleep on a walking-cane.
Bright city lights, make me feel alright,
I`m right or wrong and tomorrow never comes.
I don`t care if I get arrested,
Cause tonight they`ll need more than a ball and chain.
I don`t care who`s interested,
I`m coming into town just the same,
I`ve been feeling alone and I`ve been feeling blue.
I think I need a little drink or two.
