Townes Van Zandt – Rex's Blues Lyrics 11 years ago
This is a song about Townes friend Wrecks Bell who I believe is the founder of The old Quarter.

I also think the song is about addiction:

And if I had a nickel I'd find a game
And if I won a dollar I'd make it rain
And if it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
And lay me down dissatisfied

Wrecks once said before playing this song that he and townes did a lot of drugs together.

Cheers!
