๐ Lyrics
Well I never asked
Oh to be born, no
But I carry on my sad old songs
Like the year before
And when I pray
Lord it's for freedom
To come and carry me on broken dreams
To a world worth a-livin' in
You said, "Kid, I feel like I'm goin' nowhere
And I've been beaten down like a rusty railroad spike"
Said, "Oh this town's 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 hands
But lord I know
I've-a let you down
I'll always walk away at the same slow pace
Starin' at the ground
You said, "Kid, I feel like I'm goin' nowhere
And I've been beaten down like a rusty railroad spike"
Said, "Oh this town's 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 meaning
So as for me
Lord I'll take 'em or leave 'em
A masquerade
A funeral parade
For some rich guy's children
You said, "Kid, I feel like I'm goin' nowhere
And I've been beaten down like a rusty railroad spike"
Said, "Oh this town's full of actors and I think I'm a-leavin'
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
And when I pray-
Oh to be born, no
But I carry on my sad old songs
Like the year before
And when I pray
Lord it's for freedom
To come and carry me on broken dreams
To a world worth a-livin' in
You said, "Kid, I feel like I'm goin' nowhere
And I've been beaten down like a rusty railroad spike"
Said, "Oh this town's 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 hands
But lord I know
I've-a let you down
I'll always walk away at the same slow pace
Starin' at the ground
You said, "Kid, I feel like I'm goin' nowhere
And I've been beaten down like a rusty railroad spike"
Said, "Oh this town's 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 meaning
So as for me
Lord I'll take 'em or leave 'em
A masquerade

For some rich guy's children
You said, "Kid, I feel like I'm goin' nowhere
And I've been beaten down like a rusty railroad spike"
Said, "Oh this town's full of actors and I think I'm a-leavin'
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
And when I pray-
