Lyrics

There was a time when I didn't talk
Look away or I'd shrug it off
Tune it out or turn it off
Or say something short and soft
Out of school I took a J-O-B
Makin' buttons in a factory
Thinkin' what has life got in for me?
And I didn't wanna know
A city full of double deals
My boss would yawn and roll back on his heels
Like anyone could cop a feel
Of lady luck
I was made with my brother Bill
On Muskie Moons on top of Laurel Hill
It's funny, now I'll cheek a poison pill
To sober up, to sober up
And no two-bit claim of I'm all right
Is gonna turn around and make it right
I'm fishin' in my pocket for a light
And I'm standin' on a corner on a Saturday night
I seen the pigeons flap their filthy wings
To a freezing sunset in the west
Rain shit down from their haunted perch
In the bells above St. Someone's church
The Sexton drinks and dreams in bed
One eye in a line of light
Startled by a ghost he screams
His dead wife's name into the night
Which echoes down a cobbled hall
Bounces off a gray stone floor
Fired down a line of stairs
Where it's silenced by a door
Beyond which I am leaning, leaning
Watching cars and dreaming
As steam rose around my body
Like my soul up to the stars
I guess the devil's had his way with town
Now that Willie is in the ground
I guess the devil made me this
When he gave me no one I can't resist
I got the bill today
Wrote back 'I moved away'
They called me up to say
They know that I'm still here
On the fifth day of the fifth month
At five o'clock in the dawn
I rolled myself in a T-O-P
And jumped out on Highway One
With a 400 engine hot as a cremation coffin
And a tailgate bangin' like an airplane wing
Rollin' on the highway
I was doin' it my way
Whistlin' "Someday" and singing this song
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
Concerning a great speckled bird
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels
And went back to the wild side of life
