Well sometimes in the evenings i start to get that feeling |
| [00:35.85] |
Like i'm empty inside |
| [00:40.41] |
I know i'm doin' good now but tonight i'm headed downtown |
| [00:44.31] |
Down by the riverside |
| [00:47.88] |
I sit underneath the freeway with an old friend from the old days |
| [00:52.20] |
And a bottle of wine |
| [00:53.76] |
Well he used to call me 'big time', and he knew someday that i'd shine |
| [01:00.21] |
Said he'd seen all the signs |
| [01:02.82] |
He said . . |
| [01:03.09] |
'keep yourself to yourself |
| [01:07.20] |
Keep your bedroll dry |
| [01:11.04] |
And boy you never can tell |
| [01:12.60] |
What the shadows hide |
| [01:19.77] |
Keep ene eve on the ground |
| [01:22.74] |
Pick up whatever you find |
| [01:24.42] |
'cause you've got no place to fall |
| [01:30.99] |
When your back's to the wall' |
| [01:32.55] |
He's gettin' old and it's showin' when i asked him how it's goin' |
| [01:51.57] |
He said 'i've seen better i guess |
| [01:55.62] |
I've been rained on, i've been frozen, but this here's the life i've chosen |
| [01:59.94] |
If it just wasn't for the loneliness' |
| [02:02.10] |
Now this river suits me to a t. but if you're trying to raise a family |
| [02:08.13] |
It ain't no place to be |
| [02:11.55] |
There's a kid down by the dump there, ought to be in grade school somewhere |
| [02:15.48] |
Now he hangs out with me |
| [02:17.76] |
And i told him . . .' |
| [02:39.54] |
Well we finished off the bottle and i told him,'joe i think i ought to |
| [03:53.52] |
Be headed uptown' |
| [03:55.26] |
Well it was late, and i'd been drinkin', drivin' home i got to thinkin' |
| [04:01.44] |
'bout what's been going down |
| [04:02.94] |
Cause they're nervous down on wall street, but they're trying to keep it upbeat |
| [04:09.09] |
Or maybe they just don't care |
| [04:12.84] |
But down at the river eyes are burnin' cause they feel the tables turnin' |
| [04:16.89] |
So if you wind up down there . . . |
