It's nine o'clock at this old station And my silver linin' ride is right on time And as I buy myself a one-way ticket For somewhere else on down the line And I see that on their faces Of a people that will never come home And when I stare into the mirror, mama See myself all alone
And did you ever stop to wonder About the times that she laid by your side When you know that I was right And you finally realize You took a left turn on a red light
Sun shines down on the desert And it seems to make my life a haze And I dream of my childhood sweetheart And the freedom that I had in those days When I wake from all my dreamin' Will this boxcar always be my lonely home, yeah Well I don't know where I am And I really don't give a damn This crazy life of mine will soon be gone
And did you ever stop to wonder About the times that she laid by your side When you know that I was right And you finally realize You took a left turn on a red light
(Solo)
Well it's nine o'clock at this old station Once again my ride is right on time And as I buy myself another ticket, Lord For somewhere else on down the line Well I'll always be a rambler Well the ones I love always keep tellin' me You stare too long in the mirror, son Someday you'll be too blind to see
And now I can stop my wonderin' About the times that she laid by my side Now I know that I was right And I finally realize I took a left turn on a red light
Well I pay my dues by singin' the blues Someday it's gonna end Well the light that shines In the sky up above It's just around the bend
Livin' a life, it ain't easy Yes, you got to pay Livin' a life, it ain't easy Lord, you got to pay your dues Livin' a life, it ain't easy Pay your dues Livin' a life, it ain't easy Well the light that shines In the sky up above It's just, just, just around the bend

Livin' a life, it ain't easy Yes, you got to pay Livin' a life, it ain't easy Lord, you got you got to pay your dues Livin' a life, it ain't easy Ohh pay your dues Livin' a life, it ain't easy I said I'm just as sure Just as sure, just as sure, oohh

Well the first time that I saw her She was standin' on the floor And it hit me like a bolt of lightnin' baby When she walked through the door And the time was right Stars were shinin' bright And I kept fallin' Yes it may sound funny to you Now she's my baby blue Well it was a jumpin' night And everybody playin' their games When I saw her in the light I knew I'd never be the same Yes the stars were bright A jumpin' Friday night And I kept fallin' Well it may sound funny to you Oh she's my baby blue (Solo) There's no lies between us No games we play So why wait till tomorrow, baby When we can live today And now I'm the light The light that's shinin' bright In her eyes, oh yes Well it may sound funny to you Oh she's my baby blue Oh now listen, it may sound funny to you Oh she's my baby blue
Take off your hat; kick off your shoes. I know you ain't goin' anywhere. Run 'round the town, singin' your blues. I know you ain't goin' anywhere. You've always been a good friend of mine, But you're always sayin' farewell. And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well. Oh, yeah! Throw down your gun or you might shoot yourself Or is that what you're tryin' to do? Put up a fight you believe to be right And someday the sun will shine through. You've always got something to hide; Something you just can't tell. And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishin' well.
But I know what you're wishin' for: Love in a peaceful world. Yeah! Love in a peaceful world. Oh, yeah! Love in a peaceful world. Mmmmmmm Na na na na na na na-na Na na na na na na na
You've always been a good friend of mine, But you're always sayin' farewell. And the only time that you're satisfied Is with your feet in the wishing well! Oh! Yes! My God. Ow! I wish you well Oo-oo-ooh! The wishing well! Ow! Everybody has a dream. Yeah, yeah! Everybody has a wish I wish you well! Ow! Well, you dream your own time
That look is all over your face You've passed this way before And even though you've lost the race You still come back for more I've told you since way back when There's nothin' you can do And even though you've tried again You've got no place to Run and hide Run and hide Your hurt is a recurring thing You think it's come to stay But still you keep remembering You hope it will go away No matter how hard you try There's nothing that you can do Don't live a life that's just a lie You've got no place to Run and hide Run and hide Run and hide, run and hide I guess it's time that I should leave I guess I'll be on my way 'Cause stayin' here is to much pain And there's nothin' that's left to say So if you ever need someone To show you sympathy Just remember the important thing You've got no place to Run and hide Run and hide Run and hide Run and hide
