Lydia Loveless Steve Earle Lyrics

He read an article that said I like to do cocaine
And now he comes to all my shows and says if I need some, he'll pay
He won't stop callin' and I'm not sure how to blow him off
He stands outside my window until I have to call the cops
But they always let him out of jail 'cause he's a famous face
Well, that's a funny way of asking me to go out on a date, Steve Earle

Won't stop calling me, Steve Earle
Won't stop calling me, Steve Earle

He says he isn't hittin' on me, he just wants to write some songs
And I keep askin', "Steve, would you please introduce me to your son?"
Because he read an article that said, oh gee, I guess I drink a lot
And now he's buyin' all my drinks so I can't seem to get off the sauce
Because he corners me at every show and asks to be in my band
And if I need a great guitar, Steve's got just the man
Well, he says that I should fire everyone, and we can play duets
He says just come over, but I guess I haven't yet, Steve Earle

He wants to talk to me, Steve Earle
Should that bother me, Steve Earle

Says the greatest country duos all start out like this
And I better call him back if I got his messages

So the next time when I see him when I get off the stage
I'm gonna tell him I've got another show to play tonight in some place that's real far away
That ought to hold him off from me at least a little bit
Well, I'm not sure what to do because I'm so damn intimidated by Steve Earle

He wants to talk to me, Steve Earle
Should that bother me, Steve Earle
Well, how'd you even get my number, Steve Earle?
