Spotlight Lyrics

David Allan Coe - Spotlight
I can't see nothin' but Spotlights
Spotlights see nothin' but me
All of my music is lonely
Yeah all of my heartaches were free
Don't waste your time or your flash bulbs
Too many heroes are dead
You like to live in the city
Yeah, I like to live in my head.
Chorus:
Somebody shoot out that Spotlight
Spotlights ain't nothin' but jive
Roll me a smoke, and give me some coke
Treat me like I am alive
Tell all the ladies I'm single
Tell lone star beer that I'm dry
Everyone's lyin' bout livin'
Everyones livin a lie.
I spend my night times in mournin'
I spend my morning's alone
You spent your money to see me tonight
Yeah, I spent all mine gettin' stoned.
Now that they're both kinda busted
Doesn't it seem kinda strange
That I lay down knowing we're two of a kind
And you'll leave here knowing my name.
Chorus:
Everyone's lyin' bout livin'
I'm tired of livin' a lie.
