Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

Hard-core Troubadour Lyrics
Steve Earle
Girl, dont bother to lock your door
Hes out there hollering, darlin dont you love me no more?
You always let him in before now didnt you
Hes just singing the some old song
That he always sang before
Hes the last of the hard-core troubadours
Girl, better figure out which is which
Wherefore art thou romeo you son of a bitch
Youd just as soon fight as switch now wouldnt you
Hes come to make love on your satin sheets
Wake up on your living room floor
Hes the last of the hard-core troubadours
Hes the lost of the all-night, do right
Stand beneath your window til daylight
Hes the last of the hard-core troubadours
Baby, whet you waitin for
Girl, figure out what youre gonna do
When he moves on again and he leaves you alone and blue
But you knew he is just passin through now didnt you
And now you cant just say this is the last time baby
Like you always did before
Hes the last of the hard-core troubadours
