Sometimes the only thing to do is turn around and go back home. When every way there is to turn has vanished and is gone. I've used up every trick that I had hidden up my sleeve.
The man on the street without any shoes. With nowhere to go and nothing to lose. Somehow I can tell what he's going through. He looks like I feel since I don't have you.
A world-wearied man with tear filled eyes. Walked in off the street of the uncommonly wise. Into the church meeting, with this story he came. Sometimes angels and strangers are one and the same.
It was the perfect excuse to get drunk. As if lately I've needed one. It Was the perfect excuse to buy bullets. For the barrel of my favorite gun. . It was the perfect way to show you.
