Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, let him follow you down

Way underground, wind and he's bound

Bound to follow you down

Just a dead beat right off the street

Bound to follow you down

[Verse 2]

Well, the ballrooms and smelly bordellos

And dressin' rooms filled with parasites

On stage, the band has got problems

They're a bag of nerves on first nights

[Verse 3]

He ain't tied down to no hometown

Yeah, and you thought he was reckless

You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad

Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless

[Chorus]

But his coat is torn and frayed

It's seen much better days

Just as long as the guitar plays

Let it steal your heart away

Steal your heart away

[Chorus]

Well, his coat is torn and frayed

It's seen much better days

Just as long as the guitar plays

Let it steal your heart away

[Verse 4]

Joe's got a cough, sounds kinda rough

Yeah, and the codeine to fix it

Doctor prescribes, drugstore supplies

Who's gonna help him to kick it?

[Chorus]

And his coat is torn and frayed

It's seen much better days

Just as long as the guitar plays

Let it steal your heart away

Steal your heart away

[Outro]

Well, his coat is torn and frayed

It's seen much better days

Just as long as the guitar plays

Just as long as the guitar plays

Just as long as the guitar plays

Just as long as the guitar plays
