Back On The Corner - John Hiatt[00:00:00]

Back on the corner[00:00:19]

I'm singing the blues[00:00:20]

I can see my reflection[00:00:22]

In the shine of your shoes[00:00:24]

Like momma used to say[00:00:27]

No news is good news[00:00:29]

And I'm back on the corner again[00:00:31]

Back on the corner[00:00:37]

Got my seeing-eye dog[00:00:38]

He's blind as justice[00:00:41]

And hungry as a hog[00:00:43]

I feel like a prince[00:00:46]

But I look like a frog[00:00:47]

And I'm back on the corner again[00:00:50]

Back on the corner[00:00:55]

Pitching pennies and dimes[00:00:56]

Hell I don't even know[00:00:59]

How I got here this time[00:01:01]

Singing for my supper at 12th street and vine[00:01:04]

Back on the corner again[00:01:09]

Used to take seven pills[00:01:12]

Just to get up in the morning[00:01:14]

From seven different doctors[00:01:17]

With seven different warnings[00:01:19]

I'd call 'em up to say I'm coming apart[00:01:22]

They'd say call us back when the fireworks start[00:01:26]

Well I lost my address[00:01:30]

I lost my wife[00:01:33]

I lost my children[00:01:35]

I lost my knife[00:01:37]

But if you trifle with me[00:01:39]

It's my life against your life[00:01:42]

Back on the corner again[00:01:45]

Back on[00:01:47]

Back on the corner[00:02:08]

Something's sticking in my craw[00:02:09]

How come everything I do[00:02:11]

Is up against the law[00:02:13]

You can't arrest a man can you[00:02:16]

For trying to break his own fall[00:02:18]

Back on the corner again[00:02:21]

Back on the corner[00:02:26]

Got a pidgeon for a friend[00:02:27]

He said he'd come to see me[00:02:30]

But he did not say when[00:02:32]

One of these days[00:02:35]

He's gonna fly back home and then[00:02:36]

Back on the corner again[00:02:39]

Every long drawn step it took to get me here[00:02:43]

Was full of best intentions[00:02:48]

Bright hopes and good cheer[00:02:50]

With dreams made out of silk[00:02:52]

Lined with silver and gold[00:02:54]

Too beautiful to mention[00:02:57]

Too heavy to ever hold[00:02:59]

Well I'm back on the corner[00:03:01]

With the pimps and the whores[00:03:04]

Least I know what they're standing here for[00:03:07]

She smiles tips me a dollar[00:03:11]

And I play her one more[00:03:13]

Back on the corner again[00:03:16]

Back on the corner again[00:03:20]

Back on the corner again[00:03:25]
