Kansas - Lonely Street
------------------------------------------

Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street, 
Well, it sure don't seem like it's been twenty years, 
Since I went walking down this lonely street 
And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air 

This street ain't got no name, dead end is in the river, 
And I lived where I hated life day by day, 
There wasn't nothing that I could do to shake a cold night shiver, 
'Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say 

Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street 
And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore 
You know I killed a man and I paid all I can, 
With twenty years on a chain gang, 
For the flesh and the blood on that jailhouse floor 

Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street 
I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go 
And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street 
My mind rolls back the years a long time ago 

I see my baby stumblin' around with tears in her eyes 
And as I reach out for her she falls on the floor 
She mumbles through bloody lips about a black man, robber, raper, 
And in my gut I know I got one to score 

I need somebody...oh, I needed...

The word was comin' down, down on Lonely Street 
That a black man was a dead man if he crossed my trail 
Every night I'd walk up and down this Lonely Street 
I get stinkin' drunk, and always in jail, 
One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler 
He was caught on the street makin' some old whore, 
I remember he was quite proud of that, 
So half-crazed I shot him, 
And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor
Oh,I don't wanna know more.
