Few are chosen, few ever see the light of day. Through the eye of the needle one or two will make their way. We're all searching for the same thing, a little hope one single ray.
Last drag on a Lucky. One more swallow in the glass. Spend my time like dirty money. Each hour longer than the last. . It's easy to remember. All the times she met me here.
I met her at the mission. Living just this side of sin. Her mouth was soft and when she spoke. Lord, I fell right in. . She had a baby in a blanket. A dollar and a half.
There's a new star in my sky. There's a new song in my life. Some may take love casually. But I know what it's worth to me. . I would cound the steps from here to heaven.
I stood up for you when you married. I thought you were one lucky guy. You had the world in your pocket. She had that look of love in her eye. . You called me at one in the morning.
Old man sun is setting, he won again today. I got blisters on my fingers, salt stains on my shirt. Close the gate behind me, hear you call my name. Cuttin' cross the backyard, shakin' off the dirt.
There are dreams that come to me in the night. And some are precious and fine. Lately all of my dreams of you are the hurtin' kind. Lyin' beside you, I miss the heat and I feel so alone.
