howard moss - all hopes gone lyrics

Loading...

when i grew up in the town of the rising sun i had so much to look forward
to my life had begun
i had lots and lots of friends and my family and they were all concerned
about what i would be

i enjoyed my time at school and my life in my teens and i didn’t want my
life spent tied to machines
so i got my education and a college degree anything to be the best that i
could be

all hopes gone, on the run

i moved away from town and i found a job got myself and wife and worked
round the clock
bought ourselves a house up around the hills but seemed to spend my time
just paying the bills

next thing i remember i got my self into debt easy to remember and so hard
to forget
my wife she went and left for a banking man then i put together my
desperate plan

all hopes gone, all hopes gone

the bank they came and took my house away i didn’t have a chance to keep
the wolves at bay
next thing i remember i was out on the street i counldn’t even stand up
straight on my two feet

so i went into town and i bought myself a gun about to do the wildest thing
that i have done
went into the bank and i stole the loot the cops pursued me in a high speed
pursuit

all hopes gone, all hopes gone

so i crossed the county line into new orleans the way my life turned out
justified the means
it’s a bad thing to do don’t get me wrong but i’ve always been as honest as
the day is long

eventually i was caught and thrown in jail i never knew a soul that would
pay the bail
now i’m my cell with the time on my hands looking back i never had a
fighting chance

all hopes gone, all hopes gone
