Oh, you tell me that your last good dollar is gone. And you say that your pockets are bare. And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn. And nobody seems to care.
If you say all the good times are gone. If you say this rain will keep rainin' on. I'll walk along with my head held high. I'll find a song and I'll sing it to the sky.
Oh, the bullets of the false revenge have struck us once again. As the angry seas have struck upon the sand. And it seemed as though a friendless world had lost itself a friend.

Well, once I heard some people say, "If you gotta travel. There's just one way, you gotta leave the ground, gotta go. Through the air, gotta find a pilot and pay your fare.

Walkin' down to Birmingham. Way down south in Dixie Land. Oh, I thought that I would stop awhile. Take a vacation southern style. . Got some southern hospitality.
I think, before I speak. I turn the other cheek more than I used to. I'm surprised I'm alive after. All of the crazy things that I do. . I've still got that wild streak you love.
Walkin' down to denver town. I watched the western sun go down.. Thought that I would stop a while,. Switch around my tv dial.. Got some free tee vee . . . only price was a little boredom..
We could sit around and talk about the ins and outs. Of why we shouldn't take a chance?. Be so afraid it's gonna rain we sit and miss a sunny day. To avoid the circumstance.
The young night was thirsty as I entered the back of the bar. The smoke held the air, as the floating tables were scarred,. In back of the counter the man asked "what can I do? ".

Fat cats just getting fatter. Linin' their pockets, what does is matter?. All I want is an honest wage. A piece of ground where my kids are safe. . Eighty bucks to fill my truck.

Bye, bye, life goes by. . Well, I go to work, my boss is a jerk. I try my best but my feelings get hurt. They treat me like dirt, the only thing worse.

When I hear you stop and laugh out loud, when you're fallin' fast asleep. You're in the middle of a crowd, when you're lyin' close to me. When I hear you softly say my name.
Hey buddy, what's your deal?. It's been a long week. Yeah, I know how you feel. . You're thinking life's crazy. But you're not alone. Just look around everybody's here.
