Rattlesnake Blues

Rattlesnake Blues

I got the Rattlesnake Blues
got my head full of booze
But I ain't got nothin' to lose
'cause I got Rock'n'Roll shoes
I may be a psychopath
I'm not good at math
But I've been lookin' for rhymes
on any dusty ol' path
I'm a liar, I'm a sinner
and maybe not the winner
of this game
Fame and fortune and your luck
just don't bother me, I give a fuck

I've got a hat with a feather
and the will to live forever
Got my pockets full of sand
and no other demand
than to live near the beach
oh what a life out of reach
or to live in Amsterdam
and found a new Rock'n'Roll Band
I got the Rattlesnake Blues
my matchin' cowboy boots
and never had nothin' to lose
Don't need much more
to save my soul
than some sweet Rock'n'Roll

I got that hound dog feel
'n I know that it's real
Keep your eyes on the road
'n your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, I'm one of a kind
so many songs my mind
If you try not to kill me
but instead try to heal me
we could have a real,
a real damn good time
I can't buy you you a diamond ring
but I can sing
you some songs, I ain't got no dime

I got the Rattlesnake Blues
with my head full of booze
I got the Rattlesnake Blues
'n I got nothin' to lose
I got the Rattlesnake Blues
'n I can keep you amused
I got the Rattlesnake Blues
'n I got Rock'n'Roll shoes
I got the Rattlesnake Blues
I don't care don'ts and dos
And I know how to use
that Rattlesnake Blues!
Yeah, I know how to use
that Rattlesnake Blues!
Yes I know how to fuckin' use
that Rattlesnake Blues!
