All this weight that's put on my back. What's it gonna take to make it crack. It takes all I've got just to get by. Can't get ahead no matter what I try.
Had to slow the car down to siphon some more gas. Filling up our bottles better get out of here fast. Tonight the party celebrates not knowing all the while.
I'm gonna buy a big red truck. Then a rabbit's foot for real good luck. Gonna get me some plastic gunga dins. And I'll buy a big house to put em all in.
Remember when the days were long. And rolled beneath a deep blue sky. Didn't have a care in the world. With mommy and daddy standin' by. But "happily ever after" fails.
Well he got on a train at a really young age. Ain't seen the sun since that fateful day. Got a on a train at the age of 18. You should have seen just what he seen.
The scene is set and everybody's in place. Two chairs filled for every five gone to waste. The pantsuit girl gives me a nasty gaze. Says, "Play that on your own time".
[Originally by Billy Joel]. . Friday night I crashed your party,. Saturday I said I'm sorry. Sunday came and trashed me out again.. I was only having fun,.
I've been riding around with the top down. Like I always do. My love at my side, but only this time. My friends say something's changed you. . They said you're running with the wrong set.
Iron Chin. He won't give in. He likes to fight. He knows he's right. Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. . Iron Chin. He won't give in.
Can't you see there's fear on my face. But I won't run from you. That's right these are all my friends. Now what are you gonna do. Go ahead and try to push us around.
This is an epic story. Of low man's love and family pride. But he's still awaiting. A ride. . Looking for a wildest enemy. Then only I know you can never care.
Can't you see there's fear on my face. But I won't run from you. That's right these are all my friends. Now what are you gonna do. Go ahead and try to push us around.
I heard you say that tonight's the night. You say there's a party going on. I'm in the door like an old 78 side. And I hear 'em out hitting on a Coleman song.
I stood in the middle. Watching the scene all around me. People fighting in the streets. For their given right to be free. As the walls fell down in Germany.
This is no fond farewell. You can be sure I could wish it was no farewell at all. It's been a good long run. Oh to be sure I don't regret much, not much at all.
There's shattered glass on the rocks by the riverbed. Where I used to go to try and clear my head. That's where I found that life is just a game. And that's where I heard the night first call my name.
The time has come, come to make a choice. Forgotten by our government I thought it was my voice. As the truth starts to become apparent. You know it was lies the politicians talent.
I would try most anything. While I stand here lingering. Have a couple of songs to sing. To take your mind away. . Promises of treats I bring. I'd give you most anything.
One eye is open, the other eye is shut. Don't throw anything to me. I'm in no place, no place to receive. And I just can't move a thing. Things are rough down here.
When you hear me knocking don't you give a second thought. You know who I've been running with and you know that I've been caught. Nothing I can say can change the way that I've lived my life.
