| The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm
|
| I shot 'em dead and I hung my head, and drove off his in his car
|
| So on the run with a smokin' gun, lookin' for the coast
|
| Of all the things I’ve had and lost, your love I miss the most
|
| And hell will have to pay, I went a little bit too far I’d say
|
| Half drunk I stumble on the whiskey from the bar
|
| Sleepin' on the Santa Monica pier with the junkies and the stars
|
| For when I woke a spanish cross, was reachin' for my hand
|
| Then the stranger took the place, the words I couldn’t understand
|
| And there’s nothin' but the ground, it’s the only place I found
|
| Where I can lay my head in town
|
| Down on the boulevard, the sidewalk shuffles change
|
| Cracked out from the night before, hallucinatin' in the rain
|
| So borrowed me a quarter for a call to the other side
|
| I told God that the whole damn world was waitin' in line to die
|
| But not me, this time
|
| I left the trouble far behind
|
| And he tied his arm off one more time
|
| The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm |
