rail yard ghosts - spare a dime paradigm lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
once i built a railroad
made it run
made it race against time

once i built a railroad
now its done
well brother, could you spare a dime?

once i built a tower
to the sky
bricks mortar and lime

it came crashing down
from oh so high
brother, could you tell me why?

[chorus 1]
cuz it’s a spare a dime paradigm
i feel fine
just the clothes on my back

spare a dime paradigm
whisky and wine
walkin’ down that railroad track
and brother, i ain’t lookin back

[instrumentals]

[verse 2]
they say that “cocaine’s for horses
its not for men!
it’ll turn yer poor soul to black.”

and the doctors say it’ll k!ll me
but they can’t say when
so instead i’m just smoking crack

and i’m drinkin’ my whisky
drink it to the wind
drink till’ the day that i die

doctors still says it’ll k!ll me
but they still can’t say when
so brother, could you spare a dime?

[chorus 2]
cuz it’s a spare a dime paradigm
i feel fine
just the clothes on my back
spare a dime paradigm
whisky and wine
walkin’ down that railroad track

and mother, i ain’t lookin back

[instrumentals]

[verse 3]
well once i met a man
with only one leg
he’s already halfway into the grave

but his souls still whole
living free
hopping ’round with you and me

and now were on the corner
of your town
fresh off of the train

you hear yer pockets calling to us
jingling
well brother, could you spare some change?

[verse 4]
and the easiest thing
that i’ve ever done
was drinking while i was making love
but the hardest thing
that i’ve ever done
was spilling another man’s blood

and once i built a railroad
made it run
steam iron and coal

once i built a rail road
now i’m poor
but i’m rich in ways that you’ll never know
and brother could you spare a dime?

[chorus 2]
cuz it’s a spare a dime paradigm
i feel fine
just the clothes on my back

spare a dime paradigm
whisky and wine
walkin’ down that railroad track

tomorrow i ain’t coming back
