Word to the Wise

歌詞

A word to the wise Say it doesn't come as any real big surprise Look at all the drifters baby Take you and me Listen to the rain comin down in sympathy Put me on the stand I'll testify I was out of town I don't need no alibi I've been up to the mountain Then come back down again Watched the rivers rise With someone I called a friend Dined with kings and queens under crystal chandeliers Wandered through the valley alone with my fears And after all the trials I've been through There has to be a place for me and you Look at all the sinners honey Countin you and me Line em up together it goes on endlessly Like a procession Of fakes and fools Makin up the numbers breakin all the rules I've been on every highway Seen every twist and bend Caught the desert sun On the road that never ends I've heard the wiseman's stories but I ain't changed my mind Sorry for the bitter words I didn't mean to be unkind (J.
