Manhatten Lyrics - Bob Seger

Words and music by bob seger 

Shakey davey's got a twelve gauge in his hand 

It's sawed off to the limit 

He's got a vague plan 

There's this liquor store on madison 

There's another one down on washington square 

He's pretty sure no one's ever seen him 

Down around there 

The first one's birdshot the next four are double aught buck 

The last one's a slug just for good luck 

He's got his works in his pocket 

He wants to score as soon as he's done 

He can't wait to get straight to get long gone

He puts on his long coat scribbles off a short note 

Sits himself down and waits for the sun to go down 

It's right around midnight and there's still too damn many people on this street 

He's walked all the way from battery park he's got sweaty hands and burnin' feet 

He's desperate for a fix 

His body's screamin' "get me high" 

He bursts through the door and lets one fly 

Photos 

Sunrise in the park and davey's cold as stone 

He got some bad merchandise and he was all alone 

Two more unsolved mysteries a iot of paper pushed around 

Most folks are just wakin' up in this great big town
