Well I don`t care if I get arrested
`Cos tonight they`ll need more than a ball and chain
I don`t care who`s interested
I`m coming into town just the same
I`ve been so alone I`ve been feeling blue
I think I need a little drink or two
Be my friend tell me where the place is
Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn
My baby`s done me wrong you must have guessed it
My heart`s so low I think it must be told
That I don`t wanna know where east or west is
`Cos pretty soon I won`t feel the cold
When I`m walking down mainstreet feeling no pain
Along comes a cop he can take my name
And explain to me what a federal case is
I`m mixing the barley with the grape again
Bright city lights make me feel alright
I`m right or wrong and tomorrow never comes
I don`t care if I get investigated
And the city fathers they all black my name
I`m pretty sure that you can smell the traces
For tomorrow morning I`ll take all the blame
I`ve been feeling bad and feeling blue
I think I need a little whiskey or two
God brother you look like you could do with it too
That`s true
Tonight I`ll sleep on a walking-cane
Bright city lights make me feel alright
I`m right or wrong and tomorrow never comes
I don`t care if I get arrested
Cause tonight they`ll need more than a ball and chain
I don`t care who`s interested
I`m coming into town just the same
I`ve been feeling alone and I`ve been feeling blue
I think I need a little drink or two
Hey be my friend tell me where the place is
Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn
Well I don`t care if I get arrested
`Cos tonight they`ll need more than a ball and chain
I don`t care who`s interested
