And from a tiny river town you came
|
With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow, and daddy's brains
|
But the rats they fought you oh yeah tooth and nail
|
With the way they rigged this game, you had to fail
|
But that's all behind you now, boy
|
|
And from a tiny river town you came
|
With nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace
|
They drug you through that slaughterhouse at will
|
You were the soldier without a kill
|
You were the soldier without a kill
|
|
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
|
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
|
|
And from a tiny river town you came
|
Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days
|
But paradise took you out and left the bill
|
You were the healer without the thrill
|
You were the ecstasy without the pill
|
|
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
|
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
|
Who's gonna light up your dark?
|
Who's gonna save your soul?
|
Who's gonna be there?
|
Who's gonna light up your dark?
|
|
And from a tiny river town you came
|
With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow and daddy's brains
|
You'd better turn back before the frost sets in
|
These desert nights are for weathered men
|
The ones who've already given in
|
|
Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
|
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
|
Who's gonna save your soul?
|
Now that you've given in
|
Now that you've given in
|
Now that you've given in
|
