It's coming on the end of August. Another summer's promise almost gone. And though I heard some wise man say. That every dog will have his day. He never mentioned that these dog days get so long.
Twenty-one and strong as I can be. I know what freedom means to me. And I can't give the reason why. I should ever want to die. Got no cause to be afraid.
What kind of love have you got?. You should be home but you're not. A room full of noise and dangerous boys. Still makes you thirsty and hot. I heard about you and that man.
I'm just arriving in the city. and there's music on my mind. lookin' for my destination and. my home is far behind. 'Cause it's a long road ahead. and you can make it in the end.
I lost ten points just for being in the right place. at exactly the wrong time. I looked right at the facts there, but I may as well have. been completely blind.
When you're out there on your own. Where your memories can find you. Like a circle goes around, you were lost until you found out. What it all comes down to.

Tell us what you're gonna do tonight mama. There must be someplace you can go. In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama. There must be someone you know.
I came home to an empty house. And I found your little note. "Don't wait up for me tonight". And that was all she wrote. . Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town.
I used to hurry a lot. I used to worry a lot. I used to stay out 'til the break of day. Oh, that didn't get it. It was high time I quit it. I just couldn't carry on that way.
Out in the shiny night. The rain was softly falling. Tracks that ran down the boulevard. Had all been washed away. . Out of the silver light. The past came softly calling.
There was beer all over the dance floor. and the band was playin' rhythm and blues. You got down and did the gator, and half. an hour later, you were barfin' all over your.
She came from Providence. The one in Rhode Island. Where the old world shadows hang. Heavy in the air. She packed her hopes and dreams. Like a refugee.
Lookin' for the good life. dressed to kill. She don't have to worry 'cause. there's always someone else who will. Loose and loaded every night. Dancin' underneath the flashin' light.

Open up your eyes. take the devil from your mind. he's been holding on to you. and you're so hard to find. the wind outside is cold. restless feeling in my soul.
