Lost Dog Street Band - Music City Busker Lyrics

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

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

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
