lyrics

Quit sniffing glue and
Figure out what to do
I got a few ideas
Stop taking dope and find yourself some hope Smile a little more
Word on the street is
You’re running away
Word on the street is
You’ve been gone so long
Get high in the evening
And then head out in the night
Where no one knows your name.

I heard your headed my way
You’re looking for a place to stay
Got no plans for you
I heard you found God but he won’t take your call It must be hard for you.
Word on the street is
You’re giving it away
Word on the street is
You’ve been gone so long
Don’t know what to say
I just sit here and pray
Pray you’ll find a home
where you’re not alone
