DRUNKEN POET'S DREAM - HAYES CARLL
IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHE'S WILD AS ROME
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE
WINE BOTTLES SCATTERED LIKE LAST NIGHTS CLOTHES
CIGARETTE PAPERS AND DOMINOES
SHE LAUGHS FOR A MINUTE ABOUT THE SHAPE I'M IN
SAYS, YOU BE THE SINNER HONEY AND ILL BE THE SIN
CHORUS:
I'M GONNA HOLLER AND I'M GONNA SCREAM
IM GONNA GET ME SOME MESCALINE
SHE BRINGS ME ROSES AND A PLACE TO LEAN
A DRUNKEN POETS DREAM
THERE'S SOME MONEY ON THE TABLE
AND A PISTOL ON THE FLOOR
SOME OLD PAPER BACK BOOKS OF LOUIS L'AMOUR
SHE SAYS, HONEY DON'T WORRY BOUT JUDGMENT DAY
DYIN' TO GET TO HEAVEN JUST AIN'T OUR WAY
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
AND ALL MY LIFE I LAID AROUND
WHILE THE COLORS ALL TURNED BLUE
CLOSED MY EYES AND FINALLY
FOUND IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO YOU
IVE GOT A WOMAN, SHES WILD AS ROME
SHE LIKES TO LAY NAKED AND BE GAZED UPON
SHE CROSSES A BRIDGE AND THEN SETS IT ON FIRE
LANDS LIKE A BIRD ON A TELEPHONE WIRE
REPEAT CHORUS
[NOTE: Hayes plays this with a capo at the 2nd fret]
