Fur Coat Blues

I've got a very troubled mind

Ten feet to go

Ten feet behind

I know I'll get my time

But it's a long way down the line

Lately I'm scared

Of being alive

I've got my own dog barking when I walk inside

But whats the use

In holding my pride

I've only got one shot at being alive

I'm in some head high water

Whiskey wallow

But I told my father I'd carry on his name with my

Sons and daughters

Raise them taller

And I'll hang my hat beneath the tin roof rain

When I get through these fur coat blues

I thought a while about what to do

Had me a case of them fur coat blues

But that ain't nothing new

I've been here a time or two

Lately I'm scared

I've being alive

I've got this hesitation and it's running wild

But what's the use

Of living in doubt

I've only got one shot until my time runs out

I'm in some head high water

Whiskey wallow

But I told my father I'd carry on his name with my

Sons and daughters

Raise them taller

And I'll hang my hat beneath the tin roof rain

When I get through these fur coat blues
