My Heart Stood Still
I'm on the pavement thinking about the goverment
the man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,
says he's got a bad cough: wants to get it paid off.
pay him off
God knows when but you're doin' it again!
you better duck down the alleyway lookin'for a new friend
the man in the coonskin cap by the big pen
wants eleven dollar bills: you only got ten
Look out, kid
Look out, kid, it's somethin' that you did, kid
Look out, kid, 'cause they keep all hid, lookout
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of blac
Life or Love
I tried to stay on the straight and narrow
But I´ve walked a crooked path
And I´ve felt worthy of forgiveness
And deservin´ heaven´s wrath
Right on the money and off by a mile
Ahead of my time and way out of style.
Chorus:
But I´m hangin´ tough, I ain´t had enough
I ain´t givin´ up on life or love
Well I try to stay away from the bottle
But I´ve reached out for the glass
I try to pull back on the throttle
But I still run out of gas
I´ve been an angel, but never a saint
Hung with the devil, don´t nobody faint.
Chorus:
´cause I´m hangin´ tough, I ain´t had enough
I ain´t givin´ up on life or love
Tag:
Yesterday´s history, today is a chance
Tomorrow is a mystery, so I´m makin´ plans
Chorus:
To keep hangin´ tough, I ain´t had enough
I ain´t givin´ up on life or love
I keep hangin´ tough, I ain´t had enough
I ain´t givin´ up on life or love
Life or love.
