Church Street Blues - Tony Rice
Well I've been hangin' outta town
Lord in that low down rain
Watchin' good time
Charle friends is a drivin' me insane
Up on shadey Charlotte Street
Both the green lghts look red
I wish I was back home
On the farm Lord in my feather bed
And I got myself a rockin' chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard time
Hell on Church Street blues
I found myself a picker friend
That read yesterday's news
I folded up page 21 and stuck it in my shoe
I gave me a nickel to the poor
My good turn for the day
I folded up my old billfold and threw it far away
And I got myself a rockin' chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard time
Hell on Church Street blues
Well I wish I had some guitar strings
Old Black Diamond brand
I'd string up this old Martin box
And go and join some band
But I guess I'm gonna stay right here
And pick and sing a while
Try to make me a little change
And give those folks a smile
And I got myself a rockin' chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard time
Hell on Church Street blues
And I got myself a rockin' chair
To see if I could lose
These thin dime hard time
Hell on Church Street blues
