"It ain't my fault It's 6' o' clock in the morning" He said As he came up out of the night When he found I had no coins to bum He began to testify Born in a depression Born out of good luck Born into misery In the back of a truck... I'm telling you this mister Don't be put off by looks I been in the ring and I took those right hooks Oh the loneliness Used to knock me out – harder than the rest And I've worked for breakfast 'N' I ain't had no lunch I been on delivery and received every punch Suddenly I noticed that it weren't quite the same Feel different one morning Maybe it was the rain But everywhere I looked all over the city They're runnin' in an out of the bars Someone stopped for a pick-up driving one of those cars Y'see I always wanted one of those cars Long black 'n' shiny an' pull up to the bars Honk your horn, put down your windows, push yer button Hear it coming in You can say I can see the light ... roll! Forward! Drive! Green lights! Green lights! Intersection city coming A running comeback home I run back not that strong now Yes who's there now, can I help you? Calling Intel station light Did you put it in It say go, I say go, she say go So we say go Cos' I can see the light all night tonight This night right now Coming on forward motion across the ocean An' up the hills yeh boys let's strike for the hills While that petrol tank is full Gimme a push gimme a pull Gimme a llama gimme a mule Gimme a donkey or gimme a horse Down the avenue So fine In style

I stood on faith and the corner of ambition I came here to sink or swim And to show them all that they were wrong And though I never thought I'd make it this far So the curtains are down For the moment I'm someone There were those in the wings who waited, who came this way Now they're gone But there's always someone at home who never forgets who you are And when I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home When I'm down and I'm growing old I won't be along no railroad track I won't be bound to a life out in the cold It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home Can't go on, I'm on the top of my better years I'm going home, it's too lonesome on the bottom rung here It's been a steady pace to keep my steps between these cracks on Broadway And my stride in rhythm to the beat of home, sweet home
