Kris Kristofferson - The junkie and the juicehead minus me

I was st^Dumble bummin' down them neon M^Gusic City sidewalks With a j^Aunkie and a juicehead who had pr^Goblems of their ^Down Stuck with l^Duck that kept me standin' just a st^Gep away from starvin' And some t^Aalent that I swore I'd show bef^Gore I'd go back h^Dome Eighty d^Gays out of the army makin' neither love nor money And my o^Dnly set of clothes was gettin' cl^Eoser to the b^Aone Then the j^Dunkie placed an order with the pr^Gophet on the corner While he t^Aold us of the soul that he'd been s^Gellin' for a s^Dong

He said my f^Gortune was my future, but I l^Det it slip away Slowly sm^Aokin' myself broke on eighty c^Gigarettes a d^Day F^Gindin' out that crime ain't all there ^Dis that doesn't pay A N.C. And writin' songs for no one but myself and the juicehead, who said, "^GIf I can read my fortune in the b^Dottom of a glass, And ^AI can see it's time for me to m^Dake my last request: Will you f^Gill my grave with whiskey when I'm l^Daid away to rest, So the b^Aoys can say I drank my way to h^Dell?"

Well, I dr^Dank the whole thing over puttin' o^Gne and two together And it a^Added up to more of what I d^Gidn't want to ^Dbe I ain't bl^Damin' Music City, but it's o^Gnly gonna see me One more w^Aorkday and a wake up and the t^Gime it takes to l^Deave 'Cause I g^Got a dirty picture of what could have been my future In a pr^Dophet pushin' daydreams on the c^Eorner for a f^Aee And a w^Dino lookin' lonely at a b^Gottle gettin' empty And a h^Aungry lookin' junkie huntin' t^Gea and sympat^Dhy

And I b^Get that junkie's laughin' at the l^Dife he threw away While he's sm^Aokin' hisself broke on eighty c^Gigarettes a d^Day Pl^Geadin' down the prophet to a pr^Dice that he can pay A N.C. And writin' words that no one's gonna see but the juicehead, who said ^GEvery empty bottle is his pr^Divate crystal ball Where he st^Aares into the future, findin' n^Dothin' there at all, Which is ^Gall I'll miss tomorrow when them n^Deon shadows fall On a j^Aunkie and a juicehead, minus m^De.^{A D}
