Junky Star Songtext
von Ryan Bingham

The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm
I shot ′em dead, and I hung my head, and drove off in his car
So on the run with a smokin' gun, lookin′ for the coast
Of all the things I've had and lost, your love I miss the most
And hell will have to pay
I went a little bit too far, I'd say


Half drunk, I stumble on the whiskey from the bar
Sleepin′ on the Santa Monica pier with the junkies and the stars
For when I woke, a Spanish cross, was reachin′ for my hand
Then the stranger took the place, the words I couldn't understand

And there′s nothin' but the ground, it′s the only place I found
Where I can lay my head in town

Down on the boulevard, the sidewalk shuffles change
Cracked out from the night before, hallucinatin' in the rain
So I borrowed me a quarter for a call to the other side

I told God that the whole damn world was waitin′ in line to die
But not me, this time
I left the trouble far behind
And he tied his arm off one more time


The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm
