(M Jagger/K Richards)

Hey let him follow you down,
Way underground wind and he's bound
Bound to follow you down,
Just a dead beat right off the street
Bound to follow you down
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites
On stage the band has got problems,
They're a bag of nerves on first nights
He ain't tied down to no home town,
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad,
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless

And his coat is torn and frayed,
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away,
Let it steal your heart away

Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough,
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies,
Who's gonna help him to kick it

Well his coat is torn and frayed,
It`s seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away,
Let it steal your heart away
