Mike Ness - Dope Fiend Blues (Acoustic w/lyrics)

This is also off the "Lost Tracks" collection, although it's a Mike Ness solo song and it is acoustic.

In a police car I feel so very small
I see my lover's face and I watch her teardrops fall
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

Chorus
And in the end, you know a dope fiend ain't got no friends
And a junkie is a junkie to the bitter end
Hope to die now, cuz you know I'm better off dead
Hey brother, won't you lend me a helpin' hand?

I tie myself off, shoot it in my veins
I feel like Marlon Brando and I've hid another day's pain
I'm goin' back where it's safe, goin' back to the womb
I find my mother's comfort, here in a needle and spoon

Chorus
And Christmas for a dope fiend ain't no fun
Waitin' for good times that seem to never come
Goin' out now, gonna get myself a gun
Please stop me, don't you know I'm on a run?

Aren't you tired of the detox and the places in the mind?
Aren't you tired of the misery, aren't you tired of doin' time?
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
You know I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

Chorus
I'm a dope fiend, I'm a liar, a cheat and a thief
At my funeral, won't you bring me a red rose wreath?
Dress in black now, show everyone your grief
Well, I'm gone now, you can all feel relief!

very small !..yes i know this

[joeawellington]

@Vincenteloco Here's to SxDx deciding to start playing 'bruce springsteen" length shows!! I can handy 2.5 or 3 hour shows, be pretty sore from all the event activities, but's that's the way i want to age.

You know it's kind of funny the way life is, even Johnny Cash fans just didn't realize just how 'great' he was. Maybe not everyone knows it yet but Mike Ness and the SxDx catalog of great songs, both acoustic and or plugged in, are classic songs. Not only that, I think SxDx has at least 3 more albums in them, hopefully more, all better than the one before. The only down side to SxDx live is they only play about 15 or 16 songs, I'd like at least 6 or 8 more and I mean at least. :}
