With our [D] arms round each other
Drinkin [A] Dixie in the gutter
[G] Waitin for the sunrise [D] again
[D] Watchin all the streetcars and [A] tourists in cigar bars
[G] Drinkin martinis and [D] gin
[D] You'd tell some stories we'd [A] both tell some lies
[Bm] Under the pale black [G] skies
And [G] every now and then we'll [A] be here again
in the [G] gutter drinkin [A] Dixie my [D] friend.

All the people we'd meet playin music in the street
singing the cocaine blues til dawn
We'd talk and spin big down by The Blind Pig
For one more round and a song
Passin our time with whiskey and wine
And women that never stayed long
Some came from France, some came from chance
But the best came from the Midwest

We [G] travelled down rivers we [A] travelled down roads
we [D] travelled down broke through the [G] rain and the snow
we [Em7] leaned on the shoulders of highways that [G] abused us like [A] friends
We [G] caught those trains just [A] like a disease
With our [D] heads in the clouds and our [G] hearts on its knees
[Em7] Looking for something that we [G] may never [A] find

Jake had to ramble took all he could handle
And Augie he's just bound to die
Sometimes I miss em and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I break down and ask why
Why are things this way and what makes things that way
and which way if any way's right
I'm alone with my friends down in my sin
in the gutter drinkin Dixie again

the following verse is included in the lyric sheet for the CD but isn't sung there

We drank to the future we drank to the the past
we drank to the moments we knew wouldn't last
leaning on the shoulders of highways that abused us like friends
We caught those trains just like a disease
With our heads in the clouds and our hearts on its knees
Looking for something that we may never find
