Steady Rollin'

You might have seen me 'neath the pool hall lights Well, baby, I go back each night If you got a throat I got a knife Steady rollin', I keep goin' And I don't mind how quick the seasons change You know to me they's e'ryone the same The sweetest sunshine drips the drain Death's comin', I'm still runnin' Well, I come from the old time, baby Too late for you to save me If I remain, then I'm to blame But if you should ever need me I'll go where'er you lead me It's all the same, the same old game My lovin' baby she's a ball and chain I still can travel but my speed has changed I bring the money, I take the blame Steady rollin', I keep goin' But I shot my wife today Dropped her body in the Frisco bay I had no choice it was the only way Death's comin', I'm still runnin' Well, I come from the old time, baby Too late for you to save me If I remain, then I'm to blame But if you should ever need me I'll go where'er you lead me It's all the same, the same old game Out waltzin' with the Holy Ghost From the Bowery to the Barbary Coast The land I'm from, you know, I love the most Steady rollin', I keep goin' And everyday is just another town The more I search, you know, the less I've found Me, I'm a sucker, just a slave to sound Death's comin', I'm still runnin' Well, I come from the old time, baby Where all the kids are crazy If I remain, then I'm to blame But if you should ever need me I'll go where'er you lead me It's all the same, the same old game
