verse 1 Well I never asked To be born, no But I carry on with my sad old song Just 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 Said kid I feel like I’m going nowhere and I been beaten down like a rusted railroad spike Said oh this town’s full of liars and lord I’ve been defeated But you stay here kid And you keep this town alive verse 2 Well I try to be A sincere man Someone to hold when life’s control Falls out your hands But lord I know I’ve let you down I’ll always walk away at the same slow pace Starin at the ground Said kid I feel like I’m going nowhere and I been beaten down like a rusted railroad spike Said oh this town’s full of liars and lord I’ve been defeated But you stay here kid And you keep this town alive verse 3 And the big bright lights Down in music city Fall incomplete it’s what’s in the street That gave music meaning So as for me, Lord I’ll take em or leave em No masquerade or funeral parade For some rich guy’s children Said kid I feel like I’m going nowhere and I been beaten down like a rusted railroad spike Said oh this town’s full of actors and I guess I'm leavin' But you stay here kid And you keep this town alive
