My baby got a ticket
and she jumped on a train
all my peace of mind
in a tiny paper square
And it’s looking like a monster
spitting soot and steam
there’s no going back to dreaming
when they kick you off your dream
I can see the stars spelling out a sign saying I…
I just feel like crying
Well this man sat down beside me
taught me ’bout the human soul
made a drawing on the sand
just to show me how it goes
Then we drank up and we passed out
and I woke up all alone
everything was just a dream
and the drawing it was gone
I can see the stars spelling out a sign saying I…
I just feel like crying
Now, J.A. was a genius
with buck teeth and a foul mouth
but he had a singing voice
that would lift you off the ground
Well they came down on my brother
and the came down real hard
now he’s singing for the warden
through the rusty metal bars
I can see the stars spelling out a sign saying I…
I just feel like crying
I am just a guest, I am not the host
I am but a medium, not the ghost
I could tell you stories,
I could talk all night, but I…
I just feel like crying
