18 Devils and 17 Chairs
by @dasbinky
Liner Notes
Single take acoustic blues. Played on my old late 80s Yamaha classical, since I don't use that nylon string feel often enough.
I've had this title in my pocket for a while, happy to get to attach it to something fun.
Lyrics
VERSE Another night on the run I said that it'd be worth it and god it has been fun Booze-soaked livin' on the road Another night and baby we'll implode
CHORUS Sure I've got regrets, but I've paid my dues We've taken offers we shoulda refused So let's take what's ours and grab what's theirs Cause we got 18 Devils and 17 Chairs
VERSE Make no claim to the shape I'm in 24/7 Living in American Sin No start, no end, no middle part No mind, no courage, and not even a little heart
CHORUS Lots of regrets, but I've paid my dues So many offers I shoulda refused So now take what's ours and grab what's theirs Cause we got 18 Devils and 17 Chairs
BRIDGE When you sign a pact you might get what's coming to ya And they never break down what's it is coming to ya All they know is some misplaced sense of playing fair and square
CHORUS So many regrets, but I've paid my dues I've taken more offers than I've refused So now I'll that what's ours and grab what's theirs Cause I got 18 Devils and 17 Chairs
