Well I don't know why I came here tonight. I got the feeling that something ain't right. I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair. And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.
Stealin' time, I've been stealin' time. But I don't feel guilty, cause the time was mine. I kept down low, kept down low. I walked right out, I had to let it go..
So they made you a star, now your head's in a cloud. Now you're walking down the street with your feet off the ground. They read in the press all about your success.
Well the jury found you guilty, as you stare into a world that's without love. But you keep a wall around you, and you wait for help to come down from above.
Mr. McGonagle sits on the chimneytop wondering how he got there. A minute ago he was in his bed sleeping and now he's way up in the air. Who knows what the day will bring, it could bring anything.
Come home every evening when the sun's goin' down. Got to try and rest my weary head. Wake up in the morning when the sun's comin' up. I still remember every word she said..
Out on the street and the rain is fallin', I got nowhere to go. Here in my heart I can hear you callin' maybe I should come back home. I don't know what keeps us together, but I can't break the chain.
Playing guitar Friday night in Sally's club bar. Big money man says 'Won't you join my rock 'n' roll band?'. . 'But if I'm going to make you a star, boy.
Shoeshine boy, he's makin' his money workin' dowtown on Main Street. Shoeshine boy, I know it ain't funny cleanin' everything on two feet. Get down, get down upon your knees and brush your blues away.
In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band. Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining. I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began.
I remember the sound of the passing train. As it rolled through the night in the pouring rain. And the touch of a hand and the way she said 'Goodbye'..

Right or Wrong (Stealers Wheel) version. . I woke up, remembered everything I said to you last night. But this time I sure won't worry about what I might have done.
You know I need your love, you got that hold over me. Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave. When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind.
Rick rack, rickety rack. See the train go along the track. When I grow up I want to be an engine driver. But if I can't be that I'll be a deep sea diver..
Walk in, sit down, open up your case. Tune up, and turn 'round to show your face to the crowd. Sing a song in a genuine bluegrass voice. About your big Dixie Darling, the banjo that's always in tune..
Patrick my primitive painter of art. You will always and ever be near to my heart. I will never cross water, never cross sea. We will always be with you, Jockie, Mally, and me..
We sat up talking right on through the night. And the day had just begun. Then you said let's take a walk outside. And watch the rising of the sun.. .
It looked so good. From the outside. I couldn't want to join the crowd. It all looked different on the inside. It must have been my immigration. Cause that's for sure that where I wanted to.
Out the blue you came to me. And blew away life's misery. Out the blue life's energy. Out the blue you came to me.. . Every day I thank the lord and lady.
