Mistress Named Music

[Verse 1] I still remember Miss Bessie singing Black wrinkled fingers on ivory keys Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling Yeah, she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song [Chorus] With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it Married to a dream with a mistress named music [Verse 2] No hope and squarely solitary Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me Even that cop car rolling past By the time they hit the front door, I was out the back [Chorus] With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines That nightlife full of demons is one hell of a ride I got a crazy, crazy heart and I was born to lose it Married to a dream with a mistress named music [Post-Chorus] Ba-da-da, na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na, na-na-na Na-na-na-na [Bridge] White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon Same old boots are still tapping time Not quite the buzz I used to tie on But 'til I'm gone, I'll be chasing this song [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines (Ah, freedom, ooh) That nightlife full of demons is a hell of a ride (Ah, demons) I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it (Ooh) Married to a dream with a mistress named music (Ah) I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music, yeah (Ooh)
