Stick with a day job son, so you won't break the heart
Of a new girl every night that you meet at a bar
Find a good girl, so you won't fall apart

Stay sober and pray all the way from the start

I was famous with my guitar and tattoos

And drunken antics that always made the news
I tossed around women like an old pair of boots
And drowned my sorrows with vintage bottles of booze


Choris: Da Da Da Da Da Da, Ah Ah, Ah, Ah Ah


The lights were flashing as I headed to New York
With dreams of stardom and bubble to uncork
On Seventh Avenue, I could have any !@^%

Or a Broadway girl with bigger dreams in store

I played my concerts and then I hit the road

Driver drank coffee and snorted lines of blow
A new city, every night I played a show
Rolled 10,000 miles with 10,000 more to go


Chorus X2


I hopped a freight train because I missed the Southern sun
With dreams of the country and settling with someone
Overwhelmed, this time I had to run

To the sunshine, the warmth and the one

Chorus X4
