A collection of short stories by alternative country music singer Steve Earle, showcasing his diverse experiences, struggles, defeats, and triumphs over a three-decade career.

Doc Ebersole lives with the ghost of Hank Williams. Literally. In 1963, ten years after giving Hank the overdose that killed him, Doc is wracked by addiction. Having lost his licence to practise medicine, he lives in a rented room in the red-light district on the south side of San Antonio, performing abortions and patching up the odd knife or gunshot wound. But when Graciela, a young Mexican immigrant, appears in the neighbourhood in search of Doc's services, miraculous things begin to happen. Everyone she meets is transformed for the better, except, maybe, for Hank's angry ghost - who isn't at all pleased to see Doc doing well. I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive is a poetic ghost story, as well as a ballad of regret and redemption, and miracles.

Doc Ebersole is haunted by Hank Williams, both literally and figuratively, as he was one of the last to see Hank alive and is rumored to have administered his final dose of morphine. In 1963, a decade after Hank's death, Doc struggles with his own addiction.

Doc, einst erfolgreicher Arzt, kämpft nun in der Halbwelt von San Antonio. Nach dem Tod seines Freundes Hank Williams plagen ihn Schuldgefühle und Hanks ruheloser Geist. Als das Mädchen Graciela in sein Leben tritt, scheint sich alles zu wenden, doch Hanks Geist kann sich über Docs neues Glück nicht freuen.
