You might have seen me ‘neath the pool hall lights.
Well baby i go back each night. if you got a throat i got a knife.
Steady rollin’ i keep goin’.
I don’t mind how quick the seasons change. you know to me they’s every one the same.
I seen the sunshine drip the drain.
Death’s comin’. i’m still runnin’. my lovin’ lady she’s a ball-and-chain.
I still can travel but my speed has changed.
I bring the money.
I take the blame.
Steady rollin’ i keep goin’.
But i shot my wife today, dropped her body in the frisco bay.
I had no choice it was the only way. death’s comin’.
I’m still runnin’.
Out waltzing with the holy ghost, from the bowery to the barbary coast.
The place i’m from you know i love the most.
Steady rollin’ i keep goin’.
And everyday is just another town. the more i search you know the less i’ve found.
Me, i’m a sucker just a slave to sound.
Death’s comin’.
I’m still runnin’.
Well i come from the old time baby, too late for you to save me.
If i remain then i’m to blame.
But if you should ever leave me, i’ll go where ‘er you lead me.
Its all the same, the same old game.
