Streets are almost empty, shops are closed down. There's not a soul left in the bar to tell my troubles to. Think I'll walk down to the river that runs just south of town.
I crossed the Mississippi,. Turned south at San Antone. A bowie knife, a woolen coat,. A grip bag on my arm. It's all somebody needs to make it through the land.
Dangerously close and. He already knows that I. I'm gonna crumble in his hands. Sweeter than words are his. Hands on my curves oh he. Loves me for all that i am.
Once I lived the life of a millionaire,. Spending my money, I didn't care. I carried my friends out for a good time,. Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine.
Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue. I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to. Seem like the whole world's wrong. Since my man's been gone.
I done pack my belong. Gonna leave my woes. Goin' to a better place. With a smile upon my face. . When that steam boat blows. And that Gulf stream flows.
Today it feels like. My world is upside down. And you cannot ignore that. this world is fucked up. Why does everybody have to be so lame?. No one makes a change.
That. That's it. I'm not gonna change my mind. You've tricked me and. fooled me for the last fucking time. . They know. but they tell us lies. Instead of saying.
aint nobody loves me like my baby. no body can make me feel the way I feel. aint nobody loves me like my baby. I know my baby love for me is real. . when I'm down she brings me round.
You don't love me anymore. I can feel it. But I want you more than before. So I conceal it. Walk on, walk on baby. Don't look back. This happy face is just a disguise.
No guarantee. Is what I'm getting today. Appetite's so rampant. And they're demanding money. Everybody wants a good time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And wild terms to agree.
I see him standing silhouetted. In the lamp-light. I cross the street. And I quicken my pace. He cups his hands and he. Lights a cigarette. I find myself in the bones of his face.
Let me stay. One more day. It would mean so much to me. I won't make a sound. I'll just hang around. I'll sit where the last one sat. But oh no. I'd never do that.
If this is public transportation. What are you doing here?. Royalty and people like thee. Should queue up in the rear. . My patience has worn thin. My tires are gonna explode.
What happened to you. The blotch test shouldn't stop you. The full nelson shouldn't kill you. Forget about those loose ends. . How long can I keep up.
We're only making plans for Nigel. We only want what's best for him. We're only making plans for Nigel. Nigel just needs a helping hand. . And if young Nigel says he's happy.
