Junky Star

Man come to shake my hand

And rob me of my farm

I shot him dead and I hung my head

And drove off in his car

So on the run with a smokin' gun

I'm lookin' for the coast

Of all the things I've had and lost

Your love I miss the most

And hell will have to pay

I went a little bit too far, I'd say

Half drunk, I stumble on

The whiskey from the bar

Sleepin' on the Santa Monica pier

With the junkies and the stars

For when I woke, a Spanish cross

Reachin' for my hand

Then a stranger took the place

Of words I couldn't understand

And there's nothin' but the ground

It's the only place I've found

Where I can lay my head in town

Down on the boulevard

The sidewalk shuffles change

Cracked out from the night before

Hallucinatin' in the rain

So I borrowed me a quarter for

A call to the other side

And told God that the whole damn world

Was waitin' in line to die

But not me this time

I left the trouble far behind

And he tied his arm off one more time

Man come to shake my hand

And rob me of my farm
