Guilty Lyrics

Artist: Randy Newman
Album: Good Old Boys

Yes baby I been drinkin'
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go

Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'
Til I was back in your arms again

Guilty baby I'm guilty
And I'll be guilty the rest of my life
How come I never do what I'm supposed to do
How come nothin' that I try to do ever turns out right?

You know you know how it is with me baby
You know, I just can't stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that I'm somebody else

Bonnie Raitt has done a great rendition of this song too.

Best and Shortest song! Spent many a guilty long night in Mexico with a world-class musico trying to translate into espanol, but never got the final rendition. GUILTY!

Don't forget the Beth Hart version, check the dvd Live at Paradiso. It's the best!
