It was a straight shot All it took was luck to not get caught I laid three dimes down and the machine wanted 25 cents In the back seat her and a friend, one out the window and the other on the other end One belt loop away from Sunday night's news If the...

When it all comes down There'll be nothing left to catch you but ground It's calling your name and filling your head With delusions of glory Is that how you're gonna write your story? Down in your time as a high-flying flame out? Sucking on what's left...

I can't blame you but it's a shame you can't cover your ass sometimes It's that kind of town and you're so far down, you can't get up I can't tell you what to sell and how to tow the line And when to just give up Calling out to everyone Who tried to run...

Flowers flying cross the room Vases smashed against the floor Said "I'd rather be alone Take your chocolates and go home" Be my valentine They say time makes things easier but only time will tell You said we'd go the distance but I guess it's just as w...

Well, my daddy didn’t pull out, but he never apologized Rock and Roll means well, but it can’t help tellin’ young boys lies. A baby on the way’s a good enough reason to get you out alive Get you out without having to swallow any pride. All my friends...

Used to be a cop, but I got to be too jumpy. I used to like to party till I coughed up half a lung. Sometimes late at night I hear the beat a-bumping I reach for my holster and I wake up all alone. Used to have a wife but she told me I was crazy Said she...
