Lyrics

Life?s a gamble 10-fold
Down in Ormonde county I was hitchin? a ride
with some cocktail honey by the neon signs
and we were rollin? over where we were gonna go
and she says ?Where the Whiskey yells and the Bourbon flows?

That?s Pittsburgh, and thank God we?ve arrived.

Listen up this is a story:

Round the corner ?Mannies? Liquor Store
I heard a shot gun ring and Manny fell to the floor
you see the law and order hums the same tune
and the police won?t come, no the police don?t care

I may never find what I?ve been looking for
but I?ve tried so hard, no man can ask for more
and I believe in God because I wanna know who we are
so don?t tell me hell?s too close cos? heaven ain?t that far

I?m in Pittsburgh

Well I cried Mary where am I gonna go?
I cried Mary what am I gonna do
Cos? hell?s too close and heaven?s too far?
To just take a ride with me
Say goodbye with me
Take a ride in Pittsburgh

There?s always something left to do he cried
And there?s always something left to say
And if you leave this land tomorrow, be glad you had today.
