(Clapton/King Version). . I dreamt I had a good job. And I got well paid. I blew it all at the penny arcade. . A hundred dollars. On the Cupid doll. No pretty chic is gonna make me crawl.
On the outside, a beautiful thing. On the inside, a bird with a broken wing. Chances taken, now the dark angels circle in the wind. You're mistaken, but still you'll do it all again.
I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid. Blew it all at the penny arcade. A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll. I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl.
You get up in the morning. You get on the bus. You don't think about nothing. You don't raise no fuss. . You come home in the evening. Turn the TV on.
Well now I never went to college, babe,. I did not have the luck.. Stole out of Indiana. On the back of a pickup truck.. No education higher,. Than the streets of my hometown..
