Lyrics

Bumper to bumper, he kept sittin? in the sun
G D
At a crossroads, the devil knew it well
D C
They strategized together his musical disaster
G D
Then he sold his soul to the ever after

D C
Month after month the hits did come
G D
He cranked out ten Number One?s
D C
The pace got so fast his future saw his past
G D
And the Song God?s called their brother home

CHORUS:
C G D
He was straight tripping for the Gold
C G D
He traded fame for his soul
C G D
He was burning like Gram in the dessert (when they say)
C G D
Hank Williams lit him a smoke

D C
Daddy said he did for the glory and the fame
G D
Momma would not be held to blame
D C
Times kept changin?, she said, money kept arranging
G D
For the fresh flow of whiskey to his brain

CHORUS
D C
His battleship it sunk while it?s Captain pulled a drunk
G D
The owner of the songbook shook his head
D C
The newspapers read, another singer, he was dead

G D
On the radio his songs played on and on
