We made a promise. But what's the difference. Call me friend, what you calling for. You couldn't take me as I am. But that was only party chat......i ran..
The backroom boys are playin real hard. Theres a lot of money rollin on the next card. Some are goin up, some are goin down. Somell never make it to the next round.
Don't talk to the pilot when he's flyin'. Don't smile at the soldier, he's on parade. Don't come creeping 'round, you'll catch me cryin'. No more talkin' 'bout it, it's all been said.
So youve run out of numbers. And youve run out of lovers. They wont deliver that pizza. Youre hungry under the covers. Youre all alone in the moonlights.
Trains, running through the town. I missed my turn around. Trains, I've got to get away. I've got to leave today. . There's nothin' gonna stop me. From runnin' the tracks.
Round about midnight. I feel the chill closin in. Living my stage fright. I need the sun to begin, tomorrow. . Thinking bout my life. And all the changes she made.
Its a sign of the times, standing in line. Quietly waiting to go out of your mind. There is nothing to say, no reason to stay. To fight for the right that they have taken away.
Welcome to the land of milk and honey. This is where your braves died to be free. Living in those days for love or money. Left your heart and soul at wounded knee.
It's three o'clock in the morning. And they're sayin' you've had enough. But you want another drink. Good old north or southern stuff. You're a boy from way down south.
