Original lyrics
ENWell, I got a fire in me
Don’t come from up above
Yeah I got debts to pay
But not the ones you’re thinkin’ of
And all of that fame and fortune
Bought me a hell of a lot to lose
But you ain’t gonna hear my cryin’
‘Cause I got that Soulsucker Blues
Well, I met a man ‘bout town
Smile as white as death
Eyes like rollin’ dice
And easy bargains on his breath
He said you don’t need that pain, child
But how ‘bout somethin’ you could really use?
Yeah you ain’t gonna want for nothin’
When you get that Soulsucker Blues
Now I got a crater in my chest
This hole ain’t gonna heal
And the sting of guitar strings
Is ‘bout the only thing I feel
And if there were second chances
I don’t know which way I would choose
Yeah the thing about down and out is
I need this Soulsucker Blues
