Songwriters: Jagger, Mick; Richards, Keith;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    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, steal your heart away    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    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    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, steal your heart away    Well his coat is torn and frayed  It's seen much better days  Just as long as the guitar plays  Just as long as the guitar plays  Just as long as the guitar plays  Just as long as the guitar plays      © COLGEMS-EMI MUSIC INC; PROMOPUB B.V.;    these lyrics are last corrected by natty bumppo
