One could go to jail
|
For taking drugs all night
|
I do believe the sea - bird's flown
|
Two is in the ground
|
Boy he turned off that light
|
When everything was so home - grown
|
Three was such a terrier a tearaway
|
As bloody blue as she can get
|
Four would sing so easy
|
With his cowboy sway
|
Dan Hicks could just walk on the set
|
|
Bridge ~
|
I never said I was faultless
|
But I refuse to take the blame
|
You know one thing's doubtless
|
We were all friends by name
|
Free spirits all turn out the same
|
|
Chorus ~
|
The living and the dead
|
The traffic in your bed
|
Count it all out
|
What do you see
|
The money that you owe
|
The love you didn't show
|
Somewhere tonight
|
They're counting on me
|
|
Five he tore the town up
|
With a trick and a gun
|
He rolled the car on Fisherman's Bend
|
I always bore the mantle
|
Of the fortunate one
|
A story that will never end
|
A story that will never end
|
|
Bridge
|
|
The living and the dead
|
The traffic in your bed
|
Count it all out
|
What do you see
|
The money that you owe
|
The love you didn't show
|
Somewhere tonight
|
Somewhere
|
They're counting on me
|
|
Bridge
|
|
The living and the dead
|
The traffic in your bed
|
Count it all out now
|
What do you see
|
The money that you owe
|
The love you didn't show
|
Somewhere tonight
|
Somewhere tonight
|
They're counting on me
|
