charlie parr - dead cat on the line lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, my mind takes its toll
spent my 80th birthday all alone
worked all my life couldn’t save a dime
now i’ll just hang here
dead cat on the line

[verse 2]
i remember it all the strike of ’62
ridin’ on the transport in 1942
told ’em how it was and they walked off the line
i got a room above the bar now i’m a dead cat on the line

[chorus]
hung out to die
it doesn’t matter anyway
dead cat on the line
warn you what’s on the way

[verse 3]
can’t go out, can’t show yourself
they’ll find you out give you some help
locked up with a roomate they think that’s fine
but i’m not a baby i’m ust a dead cat on the line

[chorus]
hung out to die
it doesn’t matter anyway
dead cat on the line
warn you what’s on the way
[verse 4]
maybe i had a wife pretty and young
maybe raised a famliy maybe we all got along
maybe we squeaked by scratching for each dime
maybe i’m just an old bum or a dead cat on the line

[chorus]
hung out to die
it doesn’t matter anyway
dead cat on the line
warn you what’s on the way

[verse 5]
i took a walk to get my check, pick up some food, and get a little lift
elevens must be up its like they can tell i’m dying
no one even sees me i’m a dead cat on the line

[chorus]
hung out to die
it doesn’t matter anyway
dead cat on the line
warn you what’s on the way

[verse 6]
my tv is garbage
radio’s a bore
my memories fade
only torture
this room above the bar it gets smaller all the time
i sleep and never dream. i’m a dead cat on the line
[chorus]
hung out to die
it doesn’t matter anyway
dead cat on the line
warn you what’s on the way
