Word To The Wise

(álbum: Roarin' Town - 2006)

Look at all the misfits, honey
Take you and me
Listen to the waves crashing on that raging sea
Hear my confession
A word to the wise
Say it doesn't come as any real big surprise

Look at all the drifters, baby
Take you and me
Listen to the rain coming down in sympathy
Put me on the stand
And I'll testify
I was out of town I don't need no alibi

I've been up to the mountain
Then come back down again
I watched the rivers rise
With someone I called a friend
Dined with kings and queens under crystal chandeliers
I wandered through the valley alone with my fears
And after all the trials I've been through
There has to be a place for me and you

Look at all the sinners, honey
Counting you and me
Line 'em up together, it goes on endlessly
Like a procession
Of fakes and fools
Making up the numbers breaking all the rules

I've been on every highway
Seen every twist and bend
Caught the desert sun
On the road that never ends
I've heard the wiseman's stories but I ain't changed my mind
I'm sorry for the bitter words I didn't mean to be unkind
