Story Behind The Song
I have written this for Kenny Rogers... it is his "My Way" if Rick Ruben does the job! Tom Jones and Johnny Cash have had great success in their recent years. Kenny can handle something gritty and harder...yet loving and gentle!

Lyrics
Little Caesars
( I had no idea that there is a USA Pizza Chain... I am from the UK)
I was out on the street.....I'd just turned 14...
Stealing the action...trying to forget...
My mother's suicide...all those other women...
And you......when we met.....
There aren't gonna be..... any Little Caesars...
Flames in the night...... bullets in the back....
Giving out good times...playing to please her....
He's on ice..... that's twice...he took a wrong tack.....!!
My time is at hand..... see the big man in Black.....
Meeting my maker.......and Ruby's come back......
I've lost everybody.....but I've loved everything.....
Oh Jesus wont you take me.....my hats in the ring....!!
There aren't gonna be..... any Little Caesars...
Flames in the night...... bullets in the back....
Giving out good times...playing to please her....
He's on ice..... that's twice...he took a wrong tack.....!!
............
This nightmare is about prohibition.....
That old big man diamond Pete
Al Capone...Edward G Robinson....
Scarface....White Heat
............
The anger burns out....pages and peers....
Careers and corners.....truth and tears...!
Out on the street....there's a ticket tout.....
He got no tickets......he sold out....!!
There aren't gonna be..... any more Little Caesars...
Flames in the night...... bullets in the back....
Giving out good times...playing to please her....
He's on ice..... that's twice...he took a wrong tack.....!!
He's on ice..... that's twice...he took a wrong tack.....!!
