Wallet Full Of Time

They say a wild women burnt my soul.

coughed up ashes.

raised by a whiskey bottle and a pair

of loaded dice to roll.

 

She showed me the blues at thirteen.

Took me by the hand.

Said boy this lifes a party and this one

beats anything your young eyes have ever seen.

 

And so the taste was made and a cure i

havent found yet.

The best of the worst my sweetest regret.

 

Life as a party is a vision of night.

We find more answers unasked.

Then in the moment of a fight.

 

Back alleys and the quick fix.

The redlight reason.

And the devils bag of tricks.

 

Snake eyes and your last dime.

A slow trains exit.

A suitcase of soul with a empty wallet full of time.

 

Half a pint of happiness a empty bottle of blues.

The road is a quest.

The path yours to choose.

 

Texas heat to a New York chill.

Neon cast memories a loner's existance.

And a thirst I can never fulfill.

 

Chords echo softley a vast reflection in rhyme.

Ive gotta empty bottle for a heart.

And a wallet full of time.
