文本歌词

Well sometimes in the evenings I start to get that feeling
Like I'm empty inside
I know I'm doin good now but tonight I'm headed downtown
Down by the riverside
I sit underneath the freeway with an old friend from the old days
And a bottle of wine
Well he used to call me big time and he knew someday that Id shine
Said hed seen all the signs
He said
Keep yourself to yourself
Keep your bedroll dry
And boy you never can tell
What the shadows hide
Keep ene eve on the ground
Pick up whatever you find
Cause youve got no place to fall
When your backs to the wall
Hes gettin old and its showin when I asked him how its goin
He said I've seen better I guess
I've been rained on I've been frozen but this heres the life I've chosen
If it just wasnt for the loneliness
Now this river suits me to a t but if you're trying to raise a family
It ain't no place to be
Theres a kid down by the dump there ought to be in grade school somewhere
Now he hangs out with me
And I told him
Keep yourself to yourself
Keep your bedroll dry
And boy you never can tell
What the shadows hide
Keep ene eve on the ground
Pick up whatever you find
Cause youve got no place to fall
When your backs to the wall
Well we finished off the bottle and I told him joe I think I ought to
Be headed uptown
Well it was late and Id been drinkin drivin home I got to thinkin
Bout what's been going down
Cause theyre nervous down on wall street but theyre trying to keep it upbeat
Or maybe they just don't care
But down at the river eyes are burnin cause they feel the tables turnin
So if you wind up down there
