Bill Wilson – Ballad Of Cody

Bill Wilson – Ballad Of Cody Lyrics

Artist: Bill Wilson
Song: Ballad Of Cody

It’s a rainy night in San Antone
On the corner, Cody stands alone
It’s pourin’ and the lights don’t wanna change
Every passing, splashing car must know his name

But he’s spent twenty dollars fixin’ up his brain
And doesn’t mind to play the game
With a torn guitar case in his hand
He’s heading for a one night stand

Some soapbox stage where Cody sings his blues
With eyes closed as he strums and taps his boots
Locked inside the chambers of his moods
The only place he’s ever known

(Chorus)
To tranquilize the tension in his soul
Finance another bottle for thе cold
And lay away the thought of growing old

Till tomorrow has been sold
Every note hе’s forced to share
With the laughing drunks and the jukebox glare
Half the time he’s halfway out of key

With the oriental flat box on his knee
That he got back from some hock shop down the street
With the ten he made last week
Bootleg wine and westbound trains

Meantown women and bad cocaine
He sings of the changes that he’s left behind
Still shackled in the dungeons of his mind
A place of pain he never could define

If each song had a thousand lines
(Chorus)
To tranquilize the tension in his soul
Finance another bottle for the cold

And lay away the thought of growing old
Till tomorrow has been sold
(Chorus)
To tranquilize the tension in his soul

Finance another bottle for the cold
And lay away the thought of growing old
Till tomorrow has been sold
