Everybody wants to know where jimmy has gone
He left town, i doubt if he's coming back home

Well tony got a job, three kids and a lovely wife
Working at the commerce bank for the rest of his life

[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

I'm gonna hit the road, adios my friend
Go someplace and start all over again

Don't know where i'm going, like a gypsy out on the road
I'll go someplace and join a traveling show

[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore


I think jimmy must have had the right idea
Packed his stuff and he got right out of here

I don't know where he's at but i'm sure that he's ok
Now i realize what jimmy was trying to say

[chorus]
Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody wants to do the crazy things we used to do before
Nobody left to run with anymore

Nobody left to run with anymore
Nobody left to run with anymore

Every hungry woman

Yeah --- sad eyed woman
Boogie 'til the break of dawn
Yeah --- long a-bout the break of day --- yeah
Oh--- your man has up and gone---

You got 13 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah--- but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before

Yeah --- the doctor keep [or "kept"] calling
Woah -- found you'd fall-en
[alternate lyrics: found you bawlin']
Yeah -- you backed him in the corner
Oh --- you're doing what you wanna

You got 14 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah--- but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before

*** guitar solo ***

You got 15 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah--- but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before

Yeah --- the doctor keep [or "kept"] calling
Woah -- found you'd fall-en
[alternate lyrics: found you bawlin']
Yeah -- you backed him in the corner
Oh --- you're doing what you wanna

You got 16 lovely children
No proud father knocking at your door
Yeah--- but every hungry woman
Has been in your place before

Oh-- yeah
Sad eyed woman
Ohhhh

End of the line

And now the gravity of trouble was more than i could bear,
At times my luck was so bad, i had to fold my hands,
Almost lost my soul, rarely i could find my head,
Wake up early in the morning, feeling nearly dead.

I was never afraid of danger, took trouble on the chin,
Mountains i have climbed, that have killed a thousand men,
Spent most of my lifetime downtown, sleepin' behind the wheel,
Never needed anybody, i was king of the hill.

[chorus:]
Oh, when i think about the old days,
Lord, it sends chills up and down my spine,
Yeah life ain't what it seems, on the boulevard of broken dreams,
Guess i opened my eyes in the nick of time,
'cause it sure felt like the end of the line.

No matter how hard i run, i just can't get away
I try to do my best, but the devil gets in my way
Spent most of my lifetime downtown, sleepin' behind the wheel
'till it all came down to kill or be killed

[chorus]

Nobody knows about what's going on,
With the world and the steel,
The flesh and the bone.
River keeps flowing and the grass still grows,
And the spirit keeps going, nobody knows.
Poets they come and the poets they go,
Politicians and preachers they all claim to know.
The words that are written and the melody's played,
As the years turn their pages, they all start to fade.
The oceans still move with the moon and the sky,
The grass still grows on the hillside.
Got to believe in believing,
Got to believe in a dream,
Freedom is ever deceiving,
Never turning out to be what it seems.
It's amazing how fast our lives go by,
Like the flash of the lightning or the blink of an eye.
We all fall in love, and we fall into life,
We look for the truth on the edge of a knife.
Heavens turn around the river still flows,
Spirit keeps going, nobody knows.
Words that are written and melody's played,
As the years turn their pages, it all start to fade.
Oceans still move with the moon and the sky,
The grass still grows on the hillside.
Got to believe in believing,
Got to believe in a dream,
Freedom is ever deceiving,
Never turning out to be what it seems.

Lately i don't know where i went wrong,
But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong,
Between her fine perfume and angel face,
My whole world became another place.
The dark side of her intelligence was so strong,
Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong.
Next thing i know i had a key that unlocked her door.
I could not wait to hear the siren song,
The beginning of the end of my happy home.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
Heard them say the payback's double-fold,
Just can't seem to remember who i bought and sold.
I'll probably still be here when you come around next year,
Trying to climb from this deep dark hole.
I'll be damned if i just don't feel i'm growin' old.
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox,
Set me up with pain and woe and, i swear it won't seem to stop.
If i could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul,
Swear i'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
