lyrics

black cat walked inside
held his head up high
said old black's coming and y'all all'd better hide
and not just some dead star
or old neil young's guitar
but the last thing waiting for a man in his life

i'll finish my drink i said
and have one more cigarette
and if old black comes in then i'll say hey there friend
he's an honest man i've heard
and one look at me i'm sure
he'll see i ain't done nothing to offend

well i ain't a bad man
from what i can tell
i've done no wrong i've wished no one ill
but i keep on seeking the wrong kind of thrills
i'm ready to die, i'm ready to kill

well the barroom cleared out quick
but i just thought i'd stick
around to see if death was the drinking kind
he came walking in
and i turned to him and grinned
and i wound up on the wrong end of his knife

well i ain't a bad man
i just ain't too bright
i'm in a different shithole every night
but i just keep meeting the wrong stranger's eyes
i'm ready to kill, i'm ready to die
