David Allan Coe / Spotlight

I can't see nothing but spotlights
Spotlights see nothing 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

Somebody shoot out that spotlight
Spotlights ain't nothing 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 lying bout livin'
Everyone's living a lie

I spend my nighttimes in mourning
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
You'll leave here knowing my name

Somebody shoot out that spotlight
Spotlights ain't nothing 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 lying bout livin'
Everyone's living a lie

Everybody's lying about living
And I'm tired of living a lie
