Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, let him follow you down
Way underground, wind and he's bound
Bound to follow you down
Just a dead beat right off the street
Bound to follow you down
[Verse 2]
Well, the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressin' rooms filled with parasites
On stage, the band has got problems
They're a bag of nerves on first nights
[Verse 3]
He ain't tied down to no hometown
Yeah, and you thought he was reckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless
[Chorus]
But his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Steal your heart away
[Chorus]
Well, his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
[Verse 4]
Joe's got a cough, sounds kinda rough
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes, drugstore supplies
Who's gonna help him to kick it?
[Chorus]
And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Steal your heart away
[Outro]
Well, his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
Just as long as the guitar plays
