Born in a Ditch

Baby I was born in a ditch Chasing after something that I couldn't itch Swimming around in dirty water Looking for the pieces that I couldn't fix Baby you were born long before Rainy day in August on a kitchen floor Emptying the bank Filling half a tank Giving just a little always taking more Ooh (you run away) I'm gonna keep a light on Ooh (someday you'll stay) I'm gonna keep a light on Fell for the drummer in a band Rolling in the styrofoam Biloxi sand Some of the time I want you Mostly though you're running show with slight of hand Ooh (you run away) I'm gonna keep a light on Ooh (someday you'll stay) I'm gonna keep a light on Keep coming back to baby Gene Shoes shined in the trumpet line of St. Augustine I can't even fault you For all the ghosts that haunt you You dance to keep from dying down in New Orleans Ooh (you run away) I'm gonna keep a light on Ooh (someday you'll stay) I'm gonna keep a light on Ooh (you run away) I'm gonna keep a light on Ooh (someday you'll stay) I'm gonna keep a light on You found the door You found the door You found it Yeah We're swimming for That open shore Yeah we're drowning You found the door You found the door You found it Yeah You know the score Of this tired war Yeah we're drowning
