Jon Valley — The View from Hurt lyrics

Lyrics

After all your bridges�?� have been scorched to dust�?�
After you have betrayed�?� your last friend’s trust�?�
Who you going to turn to… who you going to turn to…
I have seen your true face�?� I have seen your lies�?�
I have seen how you have left�?� bewildered by the wayside�?�
Anyone�?� who has tried to help you�?�
Anyone�?� who has tried to put it right�?�
You mount and ride, rough and dry�?� and then turn and fly�?�
It’s been a long time�?� since you started running�?�
Town to town�?� one con to the next�?�
It’s been a long time�?� since you started using�?�
Your friends up�?� just like cigarettes�?�
Lonely highway�?� lost highway�?�
Lonely highway�?� lost highway�?�
You always said�?� that you wished the world�?�
Was more filled with goodness and light�?�
More symbiotic deeds�?� but honey you just feed�?�
On all the charity you find�?�
You’d skin your own mother alive�?� for a cool five�?�
You are the sharks you rant against�?� in your new age diatribes�?�
You spend so much time�?� trying to glean dimes�?� from those you view as Rich�?�
That honey you forget you can hitch�?� your own wagon�?� to your own
Star�?�
All I had�?� I would have given to you�?�
But that’s not a license to steal�?�
A friend is not a fish to hook�?� on a rod and reel�?�
It’s been a long time�?� since you started running�?�
Town to town�?� one con to the next�?�
It’s been a long time�?� since you started using�?�
Your friends up�?� just like cigarettes�?�
Lonely highway�?� lost highway�?�
Lonely highway�?� lost highway�?�
Lonely road�?� endless road�?� broken road�?�
