Sin City Lyrics - Steve Earle

This old town filled with sin it will swallow you in 

If you have some money to burn 

Take it home right away you got three years to pay 

But satan is waiting his turn 

Chorus: 

This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house 

It seems like this whole town's insane 

On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door 

Won't keep out the lord's burning rain

The scientists say it will all wash away 

But we don't believe anymore 

'cause we've got our recruits and our green mohair suits 

So please show our I'd at the door

A man came around tried to clean up this town 

His ideas made some people mad 

But he trusted his crowd so he spoke right out loud 

And they lost the best friend they had
