The Last Words Of Sam Cooke

[Verse 1]
I was high when I met her
I really should have known better
She was wild and licentious
Love by the hour’s unpretentious
She was hankering for attention
Neon drug store blessing
I was young and adventurous
With a buck to buy some brand new shoes

[Pre-Chorus]
The stars they were fading
The high that I am still chasing
At the midnight Hacienda Blue
All my dreams had come true

[Chorus]
Ahh Lady you shot me
Lady you shot me

[Verse 2]
I’m a man and salvation is here
Temptation’s calling me loud and clear
She light me up and blow me away
King of lost souls on my knees and I pray
Cupid’s bullet loaded in her gun
Conquest feels like redemption
Angel singing a devil’s song
Don’t wait for heaven, cos here I come

[Pre-Chorus]
That bad apple that tastes so sweet
Back seat girl knocked me off my feet
At the midnight Hacienda Blue
All of my love won’t save you

[Chorus]
Ahh Lady you shot me
Lady you shot me

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood moon bathed in cheap champagne
Sunset strip swallowed my soul once again
At the midnight Hacienda Blue
All my dreams faded from view

[Outro]
Lady you shot me
Ahh Lady you shot me
Lady you shot me
Lady you shot me
