mistress named music
Singer:church, eric
i still remember miss bessie singing
wrinkled fingers on ivory keys
my church shoes a-dangling
she's long gone and i'm still chasing this song
with a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
that nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
but i was born to lose it
married to a dream with a mistress named music
no hope and squarely solitary
the whole damn block could hear me
even that cop car rolling past
by the time they hit the front door
with a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
that nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
and i was born to lose it
married to a dream with a mistress named music
white calloused fingers on bronze and nylon
these same old boots are still tapping time
not quite the buzz i used to tie on
i'll be chasing this song
with a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines
that nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride
and i was born to lose it
married to a dream with a mistress named music
i'm married to a dream with a mistress named music
