Lyrics

Well, I'm goin' through the motions
Seems it happens every night of every week
Well, it's an ever-running cycle
And the chance of breakin' out of it seems weak
Well, my mind becomes a freight train
And it never lets me get no decent sleep
Oh, well my head, it starts to worryin'
'Bout all the little things I cannot change
And my heart, it starts a-poundin'
Messin' up the way the blood goes through my veins
Oh, I never dream of nothin' pleasant
I'm always lost and gettin' booed off of a stage
Well, the West Coast was a desert
And New York City black
So I spent some time in Caroline
To make my money back
There's a trail of blood that trickles down
From Denver to the sea
And if that one's for the winner
Well, this one must be for me
Well, there's this busy little corner
Half a mile down the road from where I live
Where all these beautiful women work the sidewalk
With little take and give
Oh, it's like an escalator walkway
I just mind my own business, make sure my money's hid
Well, I got this friend, he takes his money
Down there every day when he gets done from work
But he asks for Georgia, 'cause she's special
She reminds him he's a man and he has worth
Oh, but I don't judge him, 'cause he's honest
Which is more than I can say I've been since birth
Well, the West Coast was a desert
And New York City black
So I spent some time in Caroline
To make my money back
There's a trail of blood that trickles down
From Denver to the sea
And if that one's for the winner
Well, this one must be for me
So if you're led into a wasteland
And made to stumble through the dark
You leave a cartoon-colored legacy
Or a common watermark
But we always back the underdog
'Cause he's the only one we trust
And if that one's for the winner
This one must be for us
