lyrics

Shaky glass on linoleum and long nights in Wyoming
Pool halls and telephone calls “Where is my life a ’going?”
Southern Pacific pride out of Laramie wearing nothing but a cowboy hat And sun-dressed lines left behind on a bristled back porch mat.

Tossed dirty sheets to the wind and wrote a hymn called “See if I care” Never gave in to dreams of him raking her cherry hair.
Followed the Columbia to Pendleton and backwashed saxophone lies Expired pills, expensive thrills and countless river guys.

If it weren’t for luck I’d have nothing, dripping paint on a backyard fence
Lemon trees and summer breeze “where all the time it did went?”
See confetti ashes on the riverwalk and our name once in a while
Couldn’t lay for a grave, could not ever behave, just was never my style.

The whole world’s against me I’ve got trouble on my mind
The whole world’s against me I’ve been struggling all the time
The whole world’s against me I’ve been alone since I was born
Still stumbling down that line....
