The Coat Songtext
von Guy Clark

Well the sun comes up on nowhere
I got nowhere left to hide
I need some scrambled eggs
And whiskey on the side
I got a bad taste in my mouth
Somethin′ I said
Numb is all I feel, man
I should've gone to bed

There′s a wind from out of nowhere
Come to blow me away
Throw me a rope
I've had a bad day
I walked out and left my coat
An' now the weather′s turning cold
I don′t feel so smart
I don't feel so bold


And it smells like rain
And it feels like hell
Wish me luck and fare me well

Now there′s nothin' left to take back
There′s nothin' to regret
The sooner I get movin′
The sooner I get wet
There's nothin' left unsaid
There′s nothin′ left undone
But if I hadn't left my coat
I′d be already gone

And it smells like rain
And it feels like hell
Wish me luck and fare me well

And it smells like rain
And it feels like hell
Where do I go now?
Think I'll go back and get my coat
