Looking at Life -

She was in a hurry and took a flyer west

She took my heartbeat and all the rest

I don’t know where she’s going to down her head

With some other jerk to share her love instead

I am walking down street with no purpose in mind

Listening to the music never knowing what I might find

I’m looking for a basement where I can get some sleep

Somewhere warm and somewhere safe and cheap

Chorus

Looking at life to see what it might bring

A better way of living as a normal thing

I’m thinking about the good times, but they seem few

Trying to remember those things I used to do

The lawman said walk a straight line

His words ring true and that seems fine

The sidewalk echoes from the memories of an age gone by

My life’s on hold, I’m on another high

I gotta' see the wood from the trees

No more floating around like their falling leaves

Had too much money and wasted it on that woman and dice

I need to find a shrink and take some good advice

I’ll hitch a greyhound that’s heading west

Get a job and money I know that’s best

I’ll find another woman not like the one before

Another journey’s end and another closing door
