Lyrics

One, two, one, two
I've wasted all my aces
I've cast the loaded dice
In the alley hoping for another
Pair of snake eyes
But I never come up even
And I'm stacked against the odds once again
And the judge and the jury
Always seem to juxtapose
The benefit of the doubt
Against my shabby set of clothes
But my eyes can tell a story
You'd believe if you can look and count to ten
I'm not searching for an answer
Just trying to find where to begin
Lord knows I can't pay the ransom
I'm just looking for a friend
And this sharpie on the cardboard
Might bring my daily bread
If I stand here long enough
Keep on looking straight ahead
Somebody's gotta have some cash
The guilt in their faces says it all
And then that traffic light turns green
And they speed away from me
And my three-legged dog
Wonders how we're gonna eat
So I load him in my shopping cart
Head out to the stoplight on Duval
I'm not searching for an answer
Just trying to find where to begin
Lord knows I can't pay the ransom
I'm just looking for a friend
And as I stare up at the skyline
City lights drown out the stars
I think back to a time when I had an old guitar
And a love song in my heart
Not a trace of heartbreak in my eyes
And I think back to you and me
And the life we might have found
If you and I had stayed in Tulsa
Never struck out in this town
But this park bench out in front
Of our old house is where I’ll lay my head tonight
This park bench out in front
Of our old house is where I’ll lay my head tonight
