Concrete Dreams

I watch the lines that intersect Where I've gone and haven't been yet Jumping fences, placing bets It's hard not to give a damn My body aches with pains unknown My feelings fade and my conscience grows You may send me out into the great unknown But I'm never far from here If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear I was twelve years old in the Pittsburgh sun Where time unfurled with damage done Me and my buddies we were on the run From ghosts who yet to haunt us When the news came down like a hammer drop Our freedom stripped, innocence stopped Were fewer now than we ever thought Still searching for a reason If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear Now the fog it sits on the Allegheny side As I watch the dusk turn into night The dark can't wait to see first light In awe of all her beauty Sometimes things aren't what they seem The city burns in a sunset gleam Heads all full of concrete dreams To heavy to take their chances If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear If fate should finally find me I hope to heaven she holds me near Cut loose the chains that bind me and free my mind of hopeless fear
