Sheila

There was a time I lived the life
of women, song, and wine
Spent my nights in loving rooms
where the ladies all were kind
Singing songs and spending all
and being no one's slave
I still had style when the devil smiled
and he took it all away

Chorus:
Sheila can you help me
I cannot go no higher
Sheila can you help me
My head is all on fire

I laughed at all the truth I saw
in the life I had no more
For fame she was a one night stand
and fortune but a whore
In the good times we were riding high
til the good times all were gone
And I wasn't sure what the bad times were
til the devil pushed me down

Chorus

Now it's just a life of room to room
where my lovers come no more
In the dream that I could beat
the devil from my door
God it gets so lonesome
when the fire is in your veins
When all you got is one last shot
to get it right again

Chorus
