Kansas - Lonely Street Lyrics

Send "Lonely Street" ringtone to your cell

Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street

Well it sure don't seem like it's been twenty years

Since I went walking down this lonely street

And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air

This street ain't got no name dead end is in the river

And I lived where I hated life day by day

There wasn't nothing that I could do to shake a cold night shiver

'Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say

Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street

And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore

You know I killed a man and I paid all I can

With twenty years on a chain gang

For the flesh and the blood on that jail house floor

Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street

I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go

And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street

My mind rolls back the years a long time ago

I see my baby stumblin' 'round with tears in her eyes

And as I reach out for her she falls on the floor

She mumbles through bloody lips about a black man robber raper

And in my gut I know I got one to score

I need somebody oh oh yea

I need somebody yea

And I need a and I need a eh ha

And I need a yea ah

The word was comin' down down on Lonely Street

That the black man was a dead man if he crossed my trail

Every night I'd walk up and down this Lonely Street

I get stinkin' drunk always in jail

One night they threw me in with a man they called 'The Mangler'

He was caught on the street makin' some old whore

I remember he was quite proud of that

So half crazed I shot him

And I cried in the blood on that jail house floor

Oh I don't want no more

Oh yea yea
