Mistress Named Music - Eric Church

I still remember Miss Bessie singing

Black wrinkled fingers on ivory keys

Just five years old my church shoes a-dangling

Yeah she's long gone and I'm still chasing this song

With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

I got a crazy heart but I was born to lose it

Married to a dream with a mistress named music

No hope and squarely solitary

Enough whiskey and Coke boys to get me in a bind

Amps juiced the whole damn block could hear me

Even that cop car rolling past

By the time they hit the front door

I was out the back

With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

I got a crazy crazy heart and I was born to lose it

Married to a dream with a mistress named music

White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon

These same old boots are still tapping time

Not quite the buzz I used to tie on

But till I'm gone I'll be chasing this song

With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

I got a crazy heart and I was born to lose it

Married to a dream with a mistress named music

I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music
