Sittin' here in a backstreet bar

No future spirit is low

Ain't no money for a grey hound ticket

Bad stories all in a row

Hair splitters tail gunners all over town

I'm a stranger this city is bringin' me down

Save me

Save me

Save my life

No chance for a first class hooker

Can't even pay my booze

They wanna bend me the way they need me

But I'm not bound to lose

Don't want to get called up

I'm not gonna fight their ways

I'm a free man black stallion

Come to my door
