The Black Lillies — Midnight lyrics

Lyrics

I ve not a dollar to my name
Mister could you share a little change
It s getting cold and I m alone
Just a little help on your way home
I used to sell carpets down in Georgia
Makin good money for me and my gal
I came home from work early
I wish to the lord I would have called
A tortured month in Atlanta
No escape from the pain
I squandered all that I was given
Gonna go were no one knows my name
Now it s midnight under the railroad tracks
One eye open, watchin my back
There s only one for me to blame
I never thought life would turn out this way
I never thought life would turn out this way
In this town everybody knows my game
They see me comin and they look away
I could get a job and make them proud
But I d surely let them down
Yes I know I d let em down
Hey there buddy you re my friend
It s all the same in the end
What you ve done for the least of mine
I ll remember for sometime
Yes I ll remember for sometime
