I Coulda Been A Contender Lyrics - The Gaslight Anthem

I'm broke and I'm hungry, hard up and I'm lonely 

I've been dancing on this killing floor for years 

Of the few things I am certain, the captain of my burden 

I'm sorry doll, you can never stop the rain 

Once you said I was your hero, you would dance with me on a dime 

We could spin the would right right right round, 

And catch back up on the flip side 

I was gonna get this real big engine, 

I was gonna get them Broadway Stars 

You were gonna be my Judy Garland, 

We were gonna share your Tin Man heart

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

There's a dirty wind blowing, there's a storm front coming in 

There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight 

Steady now, Steady now, solder hold fast now 

It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight 

We used to drive all night, all over town 

We'd go waltzing Matilda when Matilda came around 

And I'd sing them blues to you

There's a dirty wind blowing, there's a storm front coming in 

There's an S.O.S. on the seas tonight 

Steady now, Steady now, solder hold fast now 

It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams 

And heart attacks and broken dreams 

Atlantis is my only dream tonight
