Church Street Blues - Tony Rice

[00:19.396]I've been hangin' out of town,
[00:21.512]Lord in that low down rain
[00:24.072]Watchin' good time Charlie friends is a drivin' me insane
[00:29.584]Upon Shadey Charlotte Street both the green lights look red
[00:33.946]I wish I was back home on the farm Lord in my feather bed
[00:39.066]And I got myself a rockin' chair
[00:41.626]To see if I could lose
[00:43.533]These thin dime hard time
[00:46.224]Hell on Church Street blues
[00:49.567]
[01:15.089]I found myself a picker friend that read yesterday's news
[01:20.000]I folded up page 21 and stuck it in my shoes
[01:25.277]I gave me a nickel to the poor my good turn for the day
[01:29.874]I folded up my old billfold and threw it far away
[01:35.360]And I got myself a rockin' chair
[01:37.789]To see if I could lose
[01:39.696]These thin dime hard time
[01:42.256]Hell on Church Street blues
[01:47.193]
[02:02.135]Well I wish I had some guitar strings old Black Diamond brand
[02:06.942]I'd string up this old Martin box and go and join some band
[02:12.428]But I guess I'm gonna stay right here and pick and sing a while
[02:17.208]Try to make me a little change and give them folks a smile
[02:22.459]And I got myself a rockin' chair
[02:24.914]To see if I could lose
[02:26.821]These thin dime hard time
[02:29.512]Hell on Church Street blues
[02:49.365]And I got myself a rockin' chair
[02:52.343]To see if I could lose
[02:54.093]These thin dime hard time
[02:56.784]Hell on Church Street blues
[03:01.433]
