Well, I've been driftin' alone in the night. I've had the blues for you so long. I've been down, I've been so confused. Searchin' for an answer baby. One that I can use.
Lit a candle and I set it on the wall. Let the wax like teardrops fall. And then I wonder why I used to dream on, baby. Dream that we could have it all.
Free me from this restless curse. That follows me through the dark. Bring back an innocence. A strength to fill my heart. . In this world of emptiness.
Well, I used to work the graveyard. Used to have to paint the stones. Now I clean the farmyard. Have to lick it clean alone. . I got a wife and kid. Sharin' an econoline.
I know the spell you're under. I know it so well. How far? Well may you wonder. No way to tell. . I've traveled miles from nowhere. Where suns never rise.
So outta reach, so far away. Another's woman and can't keep away. Can't be alone wastin' all of my time. I'm in pain, I'm in heartache. It's gonna end up in a heartbreak.
I had a woman, gave her all of my lovin'. Gave her all that I had. The kinda woman she could make you believe her. And nothing's gonna go bad. . Took awhile, and all the hurtin'.
Slow blues can turn her on. But let me tell you she's a whole lotta woman. When the band rocks on watch her move for the backstage door. The show may be over now she's gonna get some more.
My heart is empty like cold open ground. Where ghosts and memories follow you round. . Replacing old friends no more to be found. All gone their ways with the new stars in town.
Been thinkin' now what I should do. I gotta decide. Waitin' here on the likes o' you. My Thursday child. I'll face the music that I hear in my head. As the night rolls by.
Leavin' here on a goodbye road. Been holdin' on for too long. One way out still open to me. Just be a rock rolling stoned. . City lights, summer nights.
Hey, hey, momma, well my box don't play. My strings is rusted, they're all frayed away. Hey, hey what now, my drive is shot. I'm all tied up inside a misery knot.
Let's shake this town, baby. Come with me. I need a little lovin' company. C'mon now, I know where we can go. . This is the time. T'stay out all night.
Lately I've been tryin'. To have a word or two. Waitin' for a moment. To get to you. . As I've been restrainin'. What I need to say. Silence gets misunderstood.
There she goes, Miss Heartattack. That girl is gone, ain't comin' back. Love we had, call it yesterday. But now is now, today's today. . And when the sun is shinin'.
There's always more than meets the eye. Sometimes a smile can hide a lie. Learnt me the hard way, don't it show. So listen up and you will know. . Baby's got a set of wheels.
Hey, hey, baby. No more lies. Hey, hey, baby. This is the big goodbye. . Remember baby. Dreams we shared. We ran with crazies. Lived on solid air. . Do you remember lady.
Learnt me to rock an' I learnt me to roll. Ya gotta use it baby to keep your soul. Go down to town, get some reaction. Gotta go down 'cause I need a distraction.
Grew up on promises. Tomorrow will be all right. Held on to my defenses. In fear of the night. . Covered my worried head. As she turned out the light.
Woke up a little too rough. Looking like a quarter. When a dollar ain't enough. This room is just a mess. Nothings ever working. And I couldn't care less.
