Lyrics

Well i never asked to be born But i carry on my sad old songs Like the year before When i pray Lord it's for freedom To come and carry me on broken dreams To a world worth livin" in You say "kid i feel like i'm going nowhere And i've been beaten down like a rusty rail road spike" Said "oh this towns full of liars and lord i've been defeated Won't you stay here kid and ya keep this town alive?" Well i've tried to be A sincere man someone to hold when life's control falls out your hand But lord i know I've let you down I'll always walk away at the same slow pace Staring at the ground You say "kid i feel like i'm going nowhere And i've been beaten down like a rusty rail road spike" Said "oh this towns full of liars and lord i've been defeated Won't you stay here kid and ya keep this town alive?" And the big bright lights Down in music city Fall incomplete it's what's on the street that gave the music meanin So as for me lord i'll take 'em or leave 'em A masquerade a funeral parade for some rich guys children You say "kid i feel like i'm going nowhere And i've been beaten down like a rusty rail road spike" Said "oh this towns full of actors and i think i'm leaving Won't you stay here kid and ya keep this town alive?" Well i never asked to be born no but i carry on my sad old songs like the year before
