We pointed out the way to go;
And scratched your name in sand,;
Though you just thought it was nothing more;
Than a place for you to stand.
We never thought we could ever get old.;
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Here is your throat back;
Thanks for the loan
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
Leaving men wholly, totally free;
To do anything they wish to do but die
No time to suffer or blink;
And no time to think
If I had wings and I could fly,;
I know where I would go.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to;
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
I couldn't see where we were goin';
But you said you knew an' I took your word
For all eternity I think I will remember;
That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore;
You may not see me tomorrow.
And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Let me ask you one question;
Is your money that good
What drives me to you is what drives me insane.
Let the wind blow low, let the wind blow high.;
One day the little boy and the little girl were both baked in a pie.
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain;
Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Well, you're on your own, you always were,;
In a land of wolves and thieves.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,;
Nobody stops to ask why.
I'm hungry and I'm irritable;
And I'm tired of this bag of tricks.;
At one time there was nothing wrong with me;
That you could not fix.
All my friends have told me;
If I hang around with you;
That I'll go blind
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Through the wild cathedral evening the rain unraveled tales
But I mean no harm nor put fault, On anyone that lives in a vault, But it's alright, Ma, if I can't please him.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Well, I asked for something to eat;
I'm hungry as a hog;
So I get brown rice, seaweed;
And a dirty hot dog
