You've taken my time. You've taken my soul. I got so hung up on you. I was out in the cold. And out in the rain. You found me all alone. You met me at the corner.
Standing at the station. Waitin' for the train. No money for a BLT. Can't afford the plane. . Sat me down in a smoker. Rolled me up a jay. Time is up, runnin' hot.
I walked the miles. Down the road that took me here to you. I travelled down those everlasting highways. You lit the candle to start this love anew. Just couldn't wait, life was a desert.
My mother was a be-girl. My old man was a tramp. Some folks say they conceived me. On a loading ramp. . I was only fourteen. Took to petty crime. Stole from supermarkets.
In a restaurant. . Drinkin' beaujoulais wine. . You're with your favourite girl. And you're passin' the time. . Well, you look through the paper. . Five bottles later.
