Видео: Steve Earle - Back to The Wall

Well sometimes in the evenings I start to get that feeling

Like Im empty inside

I know Im doin good now but tonight Im headed downtown

Down by the riverside

I sit underneath the freeway with an old friend from the old days

And a bottle of wine

Well he used to call me "big time", and he knew someday that Id shine

Said hed seen all the signs

He said . .

"keep yourself to yourself

Keep your bedroll dry

And boy you never can tell

What the shadows hide

Keep ene eve on the ground

Pick up whatever you find

cause youve got no place to fall

When your backs to the wall"

Hes gettin old and its showin when I asked him how its goin

He said "ive seen better I guess

Ive been rained on, Ive been frozen, but this heres the life Ive chosen

If it just wasnt for the loneliness"

Now this river suits me to a t. but if youre trying to raise a family

It aint no place to be

Theres a kid down by the dump there, ought to be in grade school somewhere

Now he hangs out with me

And I told him . . ."

Well we finished off the bottle and I told him,"joe I think I ought to

Be headed uptown"

Well it was late, and Id been drinkin, drivin home I got to thinkin

bout whats been going down

Cause theyre nervous down on wall street, but theyre trying to keep it upbeat

Or maybe they just dont care

But down at the river eyes are burnin cause they feel the tables turnin

So if you wind up down there . . .
