Fur Coat Blues

verse 1: I've got a very troubled mind Ten feet to go, ten feet behind. and I know I'll get my time. but its a long way down the line. lately I'm scared of being alive. I've got my own dog barking when I walk inside. what's the use of holding in my pride I've only got one shot at being alive. I'm in some head high water. Whiskey wallow. I told my father I'd carry on his name with my sons and daughters. raise them taller. and I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain when I get through these fur coat blues. verse 2: I though awhile about what to do I had me a case of them fur coat blues But that ain't nothin' new I’ve been here a time or two Lately I'm scared of being alive I’ve got this hesitation and it's running wild But what's the use of living in doubt I’ve only got one shot Till my time runs out I'm in some head high water. Whiskey wallow. I told my father I'd carry on his name with my sons and daughters. raise them taller. and I hang my head beneath the tin roof rain when I get through these fur coat blues.
