Lonely street-Kansas[00:00:01]
Sometimes when[00:00:16]
I'm walking down[00:00:17]
This lonely street [00:00:20]
Well it sure don't seem[00:00:23]
Like twenty years [00:00:24]
Since I went walking[00:00:30]
Down this lonely street[00:00:32]
And the smell of perfumed[00:00:38]
Ladies filled the air[00:00:40]
This street ain't got no name [00:00:46]
Dead end is in the river [00:00:48]
And I lived where[00:00:52]
I hated life day by day [00:00:53]
There wasn't nothing[00:00:59]
I could do to shake a cold night shiver [00:01:00]
'Cause to move up[00:01:06]
Lonely Street you had to have some say[00:01:07]
Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street[00:01:13]
And it sure ain't no place to be[00:01:21]
When a man gets sore[00:01:23]
You know I killed a man and I paid all I can [00:01:28]
With twenty years on a chain gang [00:01:31]
For the flesh and the blood on[00:01:35]
That jailhouse floor[00:01:37]
Sometimes when[00:01:42]
I'm walking down this lonely street[00:01:43]
I get caught up in a dream[00:01:49]
That won't let me go[00:01:50]
And as the bright lights flash up and[00:01:56]
Down this lonely street[00:01:57]
My mind rolls back the years[00:02:03]
Long time ago[00:02:05]
I see my baby stumblin' around[00:02:10]
With tears in her eyes[00:02:14]
And as I reach out for her she[00:02:17]
Falls on the floor[00:02:19]
She mumbles through[00:02:25]
Bloody lips about a bad man robber raper [00:02:26]
And in my gut I know I got one to score[00:02:32]
I need somebody[00:03:43]
I need somebody[00:03:50]
The word was comin' down [00:04:24]
Down on Lonely Street[00:04:27]
That the bad man was[00:04:31]
A dead man if he crossed my trail[00:04:32]
Every night I'd walk up and[00:04:38]
Down this Lonely Street[00:04:40]
I get stinkin' drunk and always in jail [00:04:45]
One night they threw me in[00:04:52]
With a man they called the mangler[00:04:56]
He was caught on the[00:05:00]
Street makin' some old whore [00:05:01]
I remember he was quite proud of that [00:05:07]
So half-crazed I shot him [00:05:10]
And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor[00:05:14]
