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
