Well sometimes in the evenings I start to get that feeling[00:00:37]
Like Im empty inside[00:00:41]
I know Im doin good now but tonight Im headed downtown[00:00:45]
Down by the riverside[00:00:48]
I sit underneath the freeway with an old friend from the old days[00:00:53]
And a bottle of wine[00:00:57]
Well he used to call me big time and he knew someday that Id shine[00:01:01]
Said hed seen all the signs[00:01:05]
He said [00:01:08]
Keep yourself to yourself[00:01:08]
Keep your bedroll dry[00:01:12]
And boy you never can tell[00:01:15]
What the shadows hide[00:01:20]
Keep ene eve on the ground[00:01:24]
Pick up whatever you find[00:01:27]
Cause youve got no place to fall[00:01:31]
When your backs to the wall[00:01:36]
Hes gettin old and its showin when I asked him how its goin[00:01:52]
He said Ive seen better I guess[00:01:57]
Ive been rained on Ive been frozen but this heres the life Ive chosen[00:02:00]
If it just wasnt for the loneliness[00:02:04]
Now this river suits me to a t but if youre trying to raise a family[00:02:08]
It aint no place to be[00:02:12]
Theres a kid down by the dump there ought to be in grade school somewhere[00:02:16]
Now he hangs out with me[00:02:20]
And I told him [00:02:23]
Keep yourself to yourself[00:02:24]
Keep your bedroll dry[00:02:27]
And boy you never can tell[00:02:31]
What the shadows hide[00:02:35]
Keep ene eve on the ground[00:02:39]
Pick up whatever you find[00:02:43]
Cause youve got no place to fall[00:02:47]
When your backs to the wall[00:02:51]
Well we finished off the bottle and I told him joe I think I ought to[00:03:54]
Be headed uptown[00:03:58]
Well it was late and Id been drinkin drivin home I got to thinkin[00:04:02]
Bout whats been going down[00:04:06]
Cause theyre nervous down on wall street but theyre trying to keep it upbeat[00:04:10]
Or maybe they just dont care[00:04:14]
But down at the river eyes are burnin cause they feel the tables turnin[00:04:18]
So if you wind up down there[00:04:21]
