lyrics

What if this was it?
A white light the end of days
No bills, drank a weeks pay
Pulled down to early graves
I love my girl and her brown eyes
The things I threw by the wayside
New doors to old places
Full cars to empty spaces
Parking lots are better half full
I'll find a spot in the back lane
Light up and watch a train go by
Wonder how life passed me
The joys of a dead end job
There's nothing on your shoulders
Go down to the corner store
An empty bottle is worth nothing

the things I'll never see
a silver spoon or easy street
if I could stand on my own two feet
hold a chip that says 30 days free

Gas in the car twice this week
Bought booze with the change from my backseat
Wrote a letter to a friend in jail
So glad he's not here with me
To sleep in a freezing car
Dinners out of vending machines
I'll shower in a truck stop sink
I unfold a letter my daughter wrote me
It said " I hope you make it back to us"
