Hard Core Troubadour

Steve Earle

Girl, don't bother to lock your door


He's out there hollering, "Darlin' don't you love me no more?"


You always let him in before now didn't you


He's just singing the some old song


That he always sang before


He's the last of the hard-core troubadours


Girl, better figure out which is which


Wherefore art thou Romeo you son of a bitch


You'd just as soon fight as switch now wouldn't you


He's come to make love on your satin sheets


Wake up on your living room floor


He's the last of the hard-core troubadours


He's the lost of the all-night, do right


Stand beneath your window 'til daylight


He's the last of the hard-core troubadours


Baby, whet you waitin' for





Girl, figure out what you're gonna do


When he moves on again and he leaves you alone and blue


But you knew he is just passin' through now didn't you


And now you can't just say this is the last time baby


Like you always did before


He's the last of the hard-core troubadours
