tom jackson (ca) - hooker lyrics

Loading...

you came to town with the country in your eyes
looking for a friend to lend the country some advice
your skin was so brown, oh you shone like ice
you could steal the gold from the devil’s soul
or give sight to the blind

you gotta run to the highway, let your hair hang down
stop walking up and down the street on the wrong side of town
those city lights and lonely nights won’t leave your homework now
you gotta run to the highway, get your feet back on the ground

he said you’ll earn your keep if you’ll stay the night
with some poor clown who’ll lay you down and pay you for the right
you’ll make his flame a torch, you know you’ll stay alive
till his hour’s gone and your job is done
and his red torch lights the sky

you gotta run to the highway, let your hair hang down
stop walking up and down the street on the wrong side of town
those city lights and lonely nights won’t leave your homework now
you gotta run to the highway, get your feet back on the ground

you say you’re a leaf, you’re desperate for a home
but you know you’re scared, yes so so scared to head out on your own
but why you stayed so long, i’ll never understand
why you took abuse with no excuse
at the hands of the golden man
you gotta run to the highway, let your hair hang down
stop walking up and down the street on the wrong side of town those city lights and lonely nights won’t leave your homework down
you gotta run to the highway, get your feet back on the ground
