A couple of years back I come across a great and wasted friend of mine In the hallway of a recording studio And while he was reciting some poetry to me that he'd written And I saw that he was about a step away from dyin' And I couldn't help but wonder why And the lines of this song occurred to me I'm happy to say he's no longer wasted And he's got him a good woman And I'd like to dedicate this to John and June Who helped show me how to beat the devil It was winter time in Nashville, down on music city row And I was lookin' for a place to get myself out of the cold To warm the frozen feelin' that was eatin' at my soul Keep the chilly wind off my guitar My thirsty wanted whiskey, my hungry needed beans But it'd been of month of paydays since I'd heard that eagle scream So with a stomach full of empty and a pocket full of dreams I left my pride and stepped inside a bar Actually, I guess you'd could call it a Tavern Cigarette smoke to the ceiling and sawdust on the floor Friendly shadows I saw that there was just one old man sittin' at the bar And in the mirror I could see him checkin' me and my guitar And he turned and said, "Come up here boy, and show us what you are" I said, "I'm dry", He bought me a beer He nodded at my guitar and said yeah, "It's a tough life, ain't it?" I just looked at him and he said, "You ain't makin' any money, are you?" I said, "You've been readin' my mail" He just smiled and said, "Let me see that guitar"
