David Allan Coe - Spotlight [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I can't see nothing but spotlights
Spotlights see nothing but me
All of my music is lonely
Yeah, all of my heartaches were free
Don't waste your time or your flash bulbs
Too many heroes are dead
You like to live in the city
Yeah, I like to live in my head

[Chorus]
Somebody shoot out that spotlight
Spotlights ain't nothing but jive
Roll me a smoke
And give me some coke
Treat me like I am alive
Tell all the ladies I'm single
Tell Lone Star beer that I'm dry
Everyone's lying bout livin'
Everyone's living a lie

[Verse 2]
I spend my nighttimes in mourning
I spend my morning's alone
You spent your your money to see me tonight
Yeah, I spent all mine gettin' stoned
Now that they're both kinda busted
Doesn't it seem kinda strange
That I lay down knowing
We're two of a kind
You'll leave here knowing my name

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Everybody's lying about living
And I'm tired of living a lie
