Lyrics

Bruised and sore
You asked for more
A jug of gin
Walkin out that door
Pickin fights with a buffalo
Come again it
Was an officer
Oh no, don't you ever change
Left home about
A month ago
Livin on the street
With a man named George
He's a gun slingin hippie
Sleepin on my front porch
A Vietnam vet
That never fought in the war
Oh no don't you ever change
Oh father on the street
When we gonna eat
You're a real gone cat
That shakes when he sleeps
Mouth of a sailor
& a heart of coal
Frank Sinatra with the ladies
But they never return
A pool jockey workin out
The final score
Missing 3 fingers from a
Bet you lost
Oh no don't you ever change
Art on your face
Come closer image
I'm looking for the stuff
That took you swimming
Waitin & waitin, rain
Spit on the sidewalk stain
You're a real gone cat
That shakes when he sleeps
Warming wall
welcome me home
Tried to stray from a concrete coma
Oh no, don't you ever change
Oh, father on the street
When we gonna eat
