Ryan Bingham - Junky Star lyrics

The man come to shake my hand
And rob me of my farm
I shot 'em dead and I hung my head
And drove off his in his car
So on the run with a smokin' gun
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
Was reachin' for my hand
Then the stranger took the place
The words I couldn't understand

And there's nothin' but the ground
It's the only place I 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 borrowed me a quarter for a
Call to the other side
I 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
The man come to shake my hand
And rob me of my farm
