I met you in eight two, over a crate of beer and not a few. I cracked a can and so did you, we're going to change the world. The ghetto kings of downside town-the estates and parks of our hallowed ground.
Well, it's headlights and white lights and Black Tar Rivers. Theyre dragging me around this country as it withers. The billboards, signposts, standing in the way.
The life that I have chosen. And there will be content. And the salt sea shall be frozen. Before that I repent. . Repent I shall not ever. Until the day I die.
There isn't much to gain. By living it all the same way. The years just slip away. And it's too late then to play. . If you live from day to day. You can play the game your own way.
I spy with my little eye, the sun shining brightly. The clouds rolling by the last days of winter. Now seem so far away and everything looks green. When it used to be gray and I've watched the change.
Do you ever stop to think from time to time. 'Bout the way the world's been left behind. In another place, in another time. We could maybe change the way we think.
Do you wake up every day in a world that seems crazy. A world you love to hate?. Are you scared or do you feel pretty safe?. Do you think you have nothing or do you think you've got it made?.
The bar was dark and quiet and still. And nothing could be heard, the dust lay undisturbed. At a table near the back, underneath a fan. Two men shared a joke about the normal folk.
If I could choose the life I please. Then I would be a boatman. On the canals and the rivers free. No hasty words are spoken. . My only law is the river breeze.
The Devil went down to Georgia,. He was looking for a soul to steal.. He was in a bind, 'cause he was way behind,. He was willing to make a deal.. When he came across this young man.
There was Robbie Jones. He used to walk so tall. You know he'd hurt no one at all. Chased the girls around the world. Danced them round the dance halls.
Happy but for a while. The good times were out of style. And April came and went. Colder than it's ever been. . You'd lay in the morning time. And gaze at the ceiling, tired and low.
Seeing things, going places. Living out of suitcases. Every day's like a dream. I find myself talking to shadows. Taking the train of youth. Back home again.
They cover me in the clothes you see. And I'm suffocating I try to breathe. Only here to let them know. Fading out as the hours go. Cover me if I walk away.
All this for nothing, yeah yeah yeah. Praying and hoping, fooling yourself. You know that you can give love a reason. Give love a chance. . We tumble and fall, together we crawl.
Wishing for a summer without rain. Seeing is believing for ourselves. Breathing as we're sinking to the sand. . But I will wait for her arms. Then I can reach for the stars.
I had a dream, I had a vision. I fell into water, the water was deep. I made a decision, promised myself. She's my direction, down to the south. . All my life, I can't believe it.
Falling down, reaching out, for someone to come down. Oblivious to all of us, the child that grows inside. Seventeen without a care, she's taking another ride.
She's been hanging around this town. She's been searching around this town. . What do ya like? What do ya say?. What do ya need?. What do ya like? What do ya say?.
Falling down, reaching out, for someone to come down. Oblivious to all of us, the child that grows inside. Seventeen without a care, she's taking another ride.
