Keep your eyes on the road
She said
I'm too young to die
I'm not ready yet
I miss my old friends
Blue and red above your bed
Praying to God and gauze
Last rites on Thursday nights
And she said
I wish that I'd become a dancer
Spinning my way 'cross the stars
I wish that I'd been a believer
I wish you'd been around from the start
Streetlights pass by one by one
I try counting out loud
Last dance in this ambulance
And I said
I wish that I'd become a gambler
Pressing my luck for the night
I wish that I'd been a believer
I wish that I'd stayed in the fight
'Cause I've been down
Down on my Luck
And I've been dealt
Another bad hand
I'm folding down again
Trying to live with my sins
'Cause I've been
Shaking hands with the devil
On a Friday night
And I've been
Sleepless 'til the morning
Tryna lose my mind
And on Saturday
We'll do it all again
'Cause I've been
Shaking hands with the devil
Tryna make some new friends
Tryna make some new friends
