There was a time I lived the life of women, song, and wine Spent my nights in loving rooms where the ladies all were kind Singing songs and spending all and being no one's slave I still had style when the devil smiled and he took it all away
Chorus: Sheila can you help me I cannot go no higher Sheila can you help me My head is all on fire
I laughed at all the truth I saw in the life I had no more For fame she was a one night stand and fortune but a whore In the good times we were riding high til the good times all were gone And I wasn't sure what the bad times were til the devil pushed me down
Chorus
Now it's just a life of room to room where my lovers come no more In the dream that I could beat the devil from my door God it gets so lonesome when the fire is in your veins When all you got is one last shot to get it right again
