Texty: David Allan Coe. Laid Back and Wasted.

By D. Murphy

Laid back and wasted
Driven to drinking
A woman ain't nothing to lose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

I spent a lifetime
Looking for the answers
Somewhere in search of my soul
I lost it in Nashville
I found it in Austin
I sold it in New Mexico

Ten thousand miles
Of road dust can't cover
The scars that I put on my arm
And the bridges I'm burning
Will never erase
The scars that they've put on my heart

Dying looks easy

Drifting gets harder
I don't know which one to choose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

Laid back and wasted
Driven to drinking
A woman ain't nothing to lose
Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues

Don't ever doubt it
I'll live without it
I'll give you the blues
