lyrics

Hey lonely came to trouble near the trestle. I was walking western down the boulevard near my house. Well, gin and nothing surely paints a pretty picture, but drunk and stumbling, what comes around seems to keep on coming around. And I believe that there’s a whole lot wrong with me, but everything must count for something in a long run of misery. If you were me would you always heed the call of a siren-like buzzing bar light singing “baby, won’t you rock’n’roll with me all night? We’ll reckon the cost of the love that we’ve lost to these crazy, crazy dreams.” There’d be a whole lot more wrong with you if you were me. You assume too much. You’re presuming and such. Hold your tongue, thought I heard the sound of an old soul with a young heart in the throes of breaking down out on the scene. And I may be nobody now, but if you knew who I used to be. You better believe that there’s a whole lot wrong with me, but everything must count for something in a long run of misery. If you were me would you always heed the call of a siren-like buzzing bar light singing “baby, won’t you rock’n’roll with me all night? We’ll reckon the cost of the love that we’ve lost to these crazy, crazy dreams.” There’d be a whole lot more wrong with you if you were me. Hey lonely came to trouble near the trestle. Drunk and stumbling western down the boulevard towards our house.
